Some cool animal pound images:
White Tail Deer
Image by Moosicorn
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus idahoensis) get their name from their broad, 10 to 11 inch long tail. When alarmed, white-tailed deer raise their tail, displaying the white underside. White-tailed bucks weigh 150 to 200 pounds and adult does 110 to 140 pounds.
Sighted at Moosicorn Ranch outside Spokane, WA in November 2009.

Precious, This Poor Ancient Poodle

joined us from a pound, where she had been left by her beloved owners, to be euthanized. Alone, scared, blind, unloved, very matted, and terribly thin, she patiently awaited her fate. When her time was up, she got to come to Rikki's Refuge. Clipping, washing, medicating, loving, and holding is what she needed. Soon she began to pick up weight. She is on five medications for her heart every day. Drops for her eyes, to keep them comfortable, even though she's blind. Medication to help heal her gums until she is strong enough to undergo dental surgery. Medication to keep her digestion working. And several little tins of special Little Caesar's dog food.
before we knew his name was Cairo, I called him Leviathan.

He's better than twenty pounds of awesome cat. Is he a Ragdoll? A Norwegian Forest Cat? Whatever kind of cat he's got in him, it's a beautiful one.
