My name is Jet. I am a beautiful black-coated female. I am 6 yrs old and I weigh about 68 lbs. I am housebroken, crate trained and of course very easy to walk on leash. I love living with my foster mom and I find it very comforting to rest my head on hers when we rest on the couch. I am a smaller girl, as Greys go. I guess I am just a petite little girl. I am living with two other dogs in my foster home. I love my humans very much and you will see that I bond to you very quickly. Like the rest of my breed, I am a sight hound and I have a real love of chasing pretty much all the small animals I see when we are outdoors. So, I can never be off leash unless it is in a fenced area for play and exercise. I will make a wonderful addition to your family since I love to be around all adults and kids that are 8 yrs old or more. I don't need to have a whole lot of exercise, just a daily walk and maybe a free romp in my fenced area. After that I am pretty much ready to lie around the house with you and just kind of chill. I do need to be kept warm in the winter and in the summer, don't let me spend too time in the hot sun, because I don't have a thick coat to protect me. I hardly ever bark, and am just very gentle and cuddly. Please make plans to come and visit with me. I am sure you will fall in love. Please note that Jet is in foster care and can seen at the Shelter by appointment To adopt, please visit www.secondchanceanimals.org and click on application to submit an adoption application.    Book Signing at the Run Walk Wag!   Author and illustrator, Linday Dixon, will be on hand to sign copies of her book "The Happy Home".  All profits from the sales of "The Happy Home" willbe donated to Second Chance at the Run Walk Wag on Sunday, September 18th.  Personalized copies are only $12.00!!    This book was inspired by Linda's own cat Maisy.  "The Happy Home" is the story of a pampered cat who learns the valuable lessons of caring. sharing and gratitude when she befriends a stray cat.  Linda will also have note cards and framed prints from her watercolor paintings on hand for sale at the event.   To register for this event, please go to: http://www.secondchanceanimals.org/runwalkwag11.htm   .   Hope you will join us at one or more of the many events scheduled for this coming year!   Sincerely,  Sheryl Blancato Second Chance Animal Shelter Second Chance Animal Shelter, Inc.

Seeing Forests for the Lynx, Wildlife

Take Action Seeing the Forest for the Trees -- And Wildlife! The Obama administration has a plan for managing our national forests -- and it leaves out key protections for the wildlife, clean water and recreational opportunities that make these places so special. So far, more than 87,000 Defenders supporters have given the administration an earful -- urging stronger rules to protect the more than 190 million acres of land and the imperiled lynx, marten and thousands of other species that depend on our national forests to survive. If you haven't already -- please take action today and help us reach our goal of 100,000 messages before the May 16th deadline for public comments. Feature 'Smart from the Start' Energy Federal plans for solar and other renewable energy could set us on a course for a clean energy future. But without proper planning, large-scale projects could doom threatened desert tortoises and other wildlife already struggling to survive. Defenders and our partners are working to ensure that renewable energy plans are smart from the start -- and won't harm our wildlife and wild places. Learn more from Defenders magazine. Learn how Solar Energy Zones are a smart move for renewables. Wins for Wildlife Room to Roam Thanks in part to more than 70,000 messages from Defenders supporters, Montana officials unveiled a breakthrough plan last month that could allow bison extra room to roam in the winter -- and avoid a senseless annual slaughter. >>Learn More Safer for Sea Turtles Palm Beach County Commissioners rejected a plan that would have harmed key nesting beaches for threatened and endangered sea turtles. Defenders played a key role in defeating the ill-advised project with testimony before the commission and more than 1,000 messages from Florida Defenders supporters. >>Learn More Closure for Killing of Rare Whooper An Indiana man and a juvenile have been convicted of killing a rare whooping crane, thanks to a citizen tip. The whooper -- the "matriarch" of the species' recovery in the wild -- was shot in 2009. Defenders and our conservation partners responded with a contribution to the reward fund. >>Learn More Defending Wildlife Fighting for Forests Since February, Defenders members and supporters have been helping to get the word out about how the proposed changes to the National Forest Management Act forest-planning rule (see Action of the Month story above) will weaken long-standing protections for wildlife. In an impressive showing of support, many advocates took time off from their everyday lives to attend public meetings held by the Forest Service, wrote letters to their congressional leaders, and voiced concern in their local newspapers. Learn More about Defenders' fight for our forests.

Polar bears need your help to survive. You can help ensure their future by including a designation to Defenders in your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement assets. Desert Tortoise The threatened desert tortoise is easily disturbed by human activities -- that's why Defenders is working to ensure renewable energy projects take these desert dwellers into account. Learn more about desert tortoises. Download our latest wallpaper for your computer desktop! Connect with Defenders! Defenders is on flickr!
