Friends of LA Animal Shelters is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the helping of animals in LA shelters. The organization raises awareness about our large city shelter system (amazingly unfamiliar even to many animal lovers) and promotes the fantastic dogs, cats and other animals who temporarily call our city shelters home. FLAAS works to break down barriers to adoption which impacts our city’s homeless pets. FLAAS is a volunteer-run organization that funds life-saving surgeries and special projects for orphaned animals. Their goal is to increase adoptions and help the animals in our city shelters. http://friendsoflaanimalshelters.org/

With a passion for animals, Bobby Dorafshar started training dogs in the late 1980’s. In 1990, he opened Advanced K9 Services, a training/boarding business he operated out of his home. It was important to Bobby, his wife, Kelly and their staff that every dog that stayed with them felt like they were at home, whether they were boarding for a few days or staying for three weeks of training. And just as important was that all Advanced K9 Services clients were treated as friends and that they felt comfortable with the personal attention and care that was given to their pets. Advanced K9 Services has become K9s Only and opened a larger, brand-new, state of the art facility to accommodate everyone’s training and boarding needs. Bobby designed and built K9s Only to meet your dog’s every desire. His passion for animals is evident in every detail. In addition to training and boarding, K9 now offers daycare services, grooming and wellness/day spa services. www.k9sonly.com

‘The Fighter’ Micky Ward Hospitalized After Dog Attack

“Irish” Micky Ward (the championship boxer portrayed by Mark Wahberg in The Fighter) got in a scuffle with a stray dog Wednesday and was injured.

TMZ reports that Ward was hospitalized for dog bites some time after the attack and is expected to remain there until Sunday.

Apparently, Ward was approached by an aggressive stray dog when walking his own dog.

As any loving pet owner would but probably shouldn’t, fighting champ or not, Micky got in between the dogs and got attacked instead.

He suffered bites on his arm and his right index finger was “almost taken off” by the attack. And as for Micky’s dog? He left the scene untouched. 

Micky, you’re my hero!

CSI: Miami’s Eva LaRue Lends Her Voice To Persecuted & Silenced Baha’i Community

Eva LaRue, Emmy-nominated actress (All My Children) and current star of the world’s No. 1 rated TV series, CSI: Miami, recently took time out of her busy schedule to attend a special reception at Capitol Hill, held by U.S. Senator Mark Kirk.

Sen. Kirk has introduced bipartisan resolutions in Congress regarding a cause near and dear to LaRue’s and my hearts: Calling attention to the continued plight of Iran’s persecuted Baha’i community. The bicameral resolutions condemn the Iranian regime’s continued persecution of its Baha’i minority, call on the regime to release Baha’i prisoners and urge President Obama and Secretary Clinton to designate Iranian officials and other individuals directly responsible for egregious human rights violations in Iran.

DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy Wants You To Walk Your Dog! (Photos)

SuperModel Cindy Crawford and a number of her celebrity friends including Dancing with the Stars‘ SuperHottie Maksim Chmerkovskiy attended the Propel Zero to 1000 Celebrity Dog-Walking Event in Malibu, CA Saturday.

As the new face of Propel Zero, Cindy is helping inspire men and women go from Zero to 1000 in 2011 – that’s 1000 minutes of moving this year – by committing to moving just 20 more minutes a week.

The Malibu event aimed to increase awareness for the benefits of an active lifestyle and raise money for Much Love, a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of animals.

Maksim joked that his own pet bulldog was named “Sleep” because those types of dogs are supposed to be calm, but, apparently his didn’t get the memo…


Here are some photos of Maks and Cindy from the event:

Cindy and DWTS’s Maksim Chmerkovskiy were (jokingly) worried the photographers would start rumors about them as they posed together for a two-shot at the Propel Zero to 1000 celebrity dog walk event.
