The House Rabbit Society has learned that Frazer Shows, a traveling carnival currently stationed in Santa Fe, is giving away live animals - including bunnies, parakeets,…See More

Ben Swan posted a blog postThe thing about Pepper
Hi all, thanks for everyone's ongoing efforts to track down Pepper, the German shepherd-Shar Pei mix who has been out on his own since mid-December. He is a frightened but street-savvy guy who has been avoiding all our efforts to capture him.What we are trying to do now is pinpoint his routine and try to earn his trust and lure him to a safe place where we can capture and rehabilitate him. I appreciate all your work. Please continue reporting his sightings, but be aware that he more than likely…See More

Profile Information
- What kind of pet do you have and what's his or her name?
- Our family is blessed with Zach, an 6-year-old Shar-pei and Labrador mix. Beta, my 14-year-old Shar-pei-Dalmatian mix, died at the end of April 2008. Sister, aka Bear, was adopted from The Animal Support Center in Las Vegas, NM. Jimmy, aka James Bond, was rescued from Clovis. Our latest addition is from the Santa Fe shelter, Mimi, also a Shar-Pei mix. Our beloved Chihuahua, Olivia, died at the beginning to 2012. The house is way too quiet without her.

Beau has been found!
UPDATE: Beau is safe and secure! The foster parents put up posters around Los Alamos this weekend and got two calls Monday morning about the lost dog. He apparently raced back to the foster parent's backyard and they were able to secure him by shutting the gate. He's eating well and his original foster…

Shari Shantasi said… Hi, Ben. In case you are the one responsible for posting the AP article on GPS for pets, I want to thank you so very much for doing so. Using tracking devices for our pets has been a cause of mine for years. The products are becoming more advanced and affordable. Great to see more info on these fabulous systems to help people find their lost animals.
With appreciation,
Shari

HILLARY VERMONT said… - Hi Ben,
It was fun to finally meet you at Barkin Ball. What a great event. I saw one other person wearing my Dogs Rock tee shirt! Could you give a Woof Out to all doggy owners in Santa Fe...our new Flea at the Santa Fe Downs (off 1-25 and 599) IS DOGGY FRIENDLY! They can even see Hula on the big "The FLEA" sign I painted that can be seen from the highway. It's a great destination to share with a doggy...and they should come see the best doggy tee shirts (for adults!) in the Big Tent aisle 1 ! we are there through Thanksgiving, Sat/Sun 9-3. Woof Y'all.

- Lieber Ben,
Es war sehr schön, Dich vorhin zu sehen.
Ich hatte noch keine Zeit, etwas über unseren Ausflug heute nachmittag zu schreiben, aber ich werde es morgen tun. Ich nehme an, Du kannst Dir denken, warum ich auf Deutsch schreibe…

- Hi Ben. Then I moved from the Midwest to West Virginia and tracked you down. I may have to drop in, since I have family there in Santa Fe.
