Friskies is declaring February 29 “Friskies Plus Day”! If you in the Hollywood Boulevard area, be sure to stop by and see the 10-foot tall, 6-foot wide Friskies Plus <a href="http://www.canstruction.org">Canstruction</a> sculpture that will stand on Hollywood Boulevard for one day only – Friskies Plus Day.</p>
<p>The amazing Canstructure will feature thousands of cans of Friskies Plus, all of which will be donated to three Los Angeles cat rescue organization after Wednesday’s event. Friskies will donate the cans used to build the Friskies Plus Catstruction to three Los Angeles based cat rescue organizations; <a href="http://www.langefoundation.com/index/Home.html">The Lange Foundation</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/KittCrusaders">Kitt Crusaders</a> and <a href="http://www.kittenrescue.org/">Kitten Rescue</a> each will receive thousands of cans of Friskies Plus. Combined, these organizations help 2,400 cats each year. Representatives from each foundation were on site to see the Friskies Plus Catstruction and receive an honorary can symbolizing the donations.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We are thrilled to celebrate Friskies Plus Day nationwide with cat lovers,” said Kamila Nelson, Assistant Brand Manager for Friskies. “We hope to enhance the lives of cats and help support organizations that help shelter cats live happy, healthy lives before they’re adopted into new homes, and do it in a fun way with our giant Friskies Plus Catstruction.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Also on Friskies Plus Day, the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Friskies">Friskies Facebook page</a> will house an 8-hour long celebration (noon to 8 p.m. EST) where fans can win extras for their cats, which will include toys, coupons and more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.spcai.org">SPCA</a> does some amazing work on behalf of our animal friends all over the globe. They have many wonderful programs, one of which helps both animals and people. Imagine being a soldier on the battlefield and finding comfort and friendship in a dog. Then imagine knowing that you will have to leave that dog behind, in awful conditions. Operation Baghdad Pups provides veterinary care and coordinates complicated logistics and transportation requirements in order to reunite these beloved pets with their service men and women back in the U.S.A. With the work that the SPCA does, soldiers who connect with animals in war zones, often get the chance to reconnect with them when they return home from service.</p>
<p>We think this is an amazing mission! Get a tissue handy, because this video will touch your hearts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://4theloveofanimals.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DogTown-cover.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1355 alignleft" title="DogTown cover" src="http://4theloveofanimals.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DogTown-cover-199x300.jpg" alt="DogTown cover" width="199" height="300" /></a>I recently got a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1426205627?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=aimeesanimals-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1426205627">DogTown: Tales of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Redemption</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=aimeesanimals-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1426205627" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for review on this site. I was so excited to check it out because the show, DogTown, from <a href="www.nationalgeographic.com">National Geographic</a>, is so great, I just knew the book would be too.</p>
<p>I was not disappointed at all! Be sure to have tissues handy, because if you love dogs, your bound to shed a few tears. You will also be uplifted by the spirit of the dogs, and those who work with them.</p>
<p>The book features stories of 15 different dogs at DogTown, which is part of the <a href="http://www.bestfriends.org/">Best Friends Animal Society</a> located in Angel Canyon (Kanab, Utah). Each dog story is so unique, and if you watch the show you may recognize some of the dogs in the book!</p>
<p>As you read, you will learn their stories, what life is like at DogTown, and more about the relationship between the dog and the DogTown staff. There are also essays about animal health and behavior. It&#8217;s not just a great book about dogs, it&#8217;s also educational.</p>
<p>So many of the dogs at DogTown come from situations where other people thought there was no saving them. A prime example is the story of Georgia, a dog rescued from the Michael Vick dog fighting ring. You will get to know a dog named Rush who came from a war zone in Lebanon, Tuffy who came from a hoarder yet never lost his spunk, and a touching story of a fluffy dog named Bruno, and his last days at Dogtown. Each dog has seen so much, but with the love and support of those working on their behalf, miracles do happen and the dogs learn to trust again. It&#8217;s a great work that they are doing, and a wonderful book honoring them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1426205627?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=aimeesanimals-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1426205627">DogTown: Tales of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Redemption</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=aimeesanimals-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1426205627" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> is a perfect gift idea for the dog lover in your life. It was one of those books that was impossible to put down, and one that is going to stay with me forever. We have always been supporters of Best Friends Animal Society, but after reading this book about DogTown, we know without a doubt that there is something amazing about them! You can find the book wherever books are sold.</p>
