Best Friends Animal Society Launches ‘Acclaimed Ambassador’ Program; Celebrities to Help Spread Word About Homeless Pets in USA

Best Friends Animal Society Acclaimed Ambassadors: We The Kings band

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 12, 2011

Best Friends Animal Society, one of America’s best known animal welfare organizations, announces its new Acclaimed Ambassadors program featuring celebrities amping up their star power on behalf of homeless pets everywhere.

The program, in which celebrities from all walks of life lend their name to Best Friends’ national work on behalf of homeless pets, is in full swing with the introduction of its own web site and ambassadors will be at work on many projects in 2012.

“From the time we started working in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, we have had the support of many people in the entertainment industry,” said Silva Battista, a co-founder of Best Friends Animal Society. “In our new Acclaimed Ambassadors program we have a formal platform through which our celebrity friends can show their support for our mission.

“Best Friends Acclaimed Ambassadors are involved in many aspects of the organization’s outreach programs, as well as visiting and volunteering at our sanctuary for homeless pets in southern Utah. They also help us promote timely issues through social media sites.”

Typical of the celebrities’ activities is is the recently released “I Believe” television public service announcement (PSA) starring actors Lisa Edelstein and James Avery and singer/musicians Travis Clark and Emmylou Harris, all of whom speak out on behalf of the animals. The PSA recently made its debut in selected markets and will continue to be circulated during the holiday season.

Another example of a celebrity helping Best Friends spread a message of animal kindness was a recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine about singer/songwriter Willie Nelson’s open letter to the residents of Ohio. Nelson wrote a letter to the Ohio legislature to show support for Ohio House Bill 14, which would reverse a law that declares certain dog breeds inherently vicious while strengthening associated laws targeting irresponsible dog owners.

In the past year, Travis Clark of the “We the Kings” rock band appeared in a humorous video PSA as part of the organization’s “Invisible Dogs” campaign, designed to get people thinking about the homeless dogs in local shelters waiting to be seen and adopted.

Actress Rachelle Lefevre has served as spokesperson for Best Friends’ puppy mill initiatives including this PSA. New York-based actor Kevin Conway, who manages his own community cat colony, did a PSA on behalf the organization’s efforts to help free-roaming cats.

Announcing the Arrival of Their Latest Litter, Insightout Kennel Offers Their Perspective on Establishing a Strong Foundation for Their Dogs

Frankston, Texas (PRWEB) December 09, 2011

Insightout Kennel in Frankston,Texas, has welcomed the arrival of their newest litter of Olde English Bulldogge puppies just in time for the holidays. The puppies will soon be matched with their future homes.

To prepare their puppies for a happy, successful life, the owners of Insightout Kennel state they have adopted their own unique approach. At Insightout, Dave and Bobbye Bolestridge are of the mind that preparing their puppies with a strong start will ensure they have every chance to be healthy and good companions.

“Diet is the key,” said Bobbye. “All of our dogs get the best combination of high quality grain-free commercial dog food, raw meat and bone, fish, fiber, dehydrated fruits and vegetables and dietary supplements.” Dave and Bobbye prepare a combination of raw human-grade chicken for protein and calcium. They include jack mackerel to add Omega 3 to the diet. Chicken gizzards and beef liver are added for additional protein and other essential nutrients. Pumpkin is added for fiber, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables are included for overall nutrition.

All of the ingredients are ground, mixed and frozen monthly. Each dog gets a portion of the raw mixture with each meal plus dietary supplements with probiotics and glucosamine for joint health. Dave said, “The extra effort we take to feed them a well-balanced diet gives the puppies the strong, healthy foundation needed to extend their time with their families as long as possible.”

All Insightout puppies start on this diet. Dave said, “We understand most families will not continue to feed in the extensive manner of Insightout, but this helps us to feel comfortable the puppies are getting a very nutritious beginning for a solid start.” He added, “It all started with Emmett, our English Bulldog mix. Emmett is a wonderful dog, but due to his poor genetics he has had a total hip replacement and two knee replacements. Our goal was to extend Emmett’s life and make him as comfortable and pain-free for as long as possible.”

“Emmett’s multiple, major surgeries motivated me to perform extensive research into nutrition for dogs,” said Bobbye. She explained, “Food determines factors we do not see immediately – like longevity, disease, strength, sight, and so on. We lull ourselves into a lesser standard for our pets and ourselves because we do not immediately see the slow catastrophic results of our eating choices until it is too late. We become so consumed by the symptoms that we rarely connect the dots back to the root of our eating choices.”

“This philosophy became the basis for the food combination used at Insightout Kennel. Although Emmet is now eleven years old and has had numerous surgeries and therapy for his poor genetics, he is still able to go up and down stairs and get around well on his own,” said Dave. He insisted, “Emmett’s success story and the outstanding health and beauty of all Insightout bulldogges and puppies are an excellent barometer to gage the positive effect of our nutritional foundation.”

Dave and Bobbye said they are confident the feeding program utilized at Insightout increases the health and longevity of their canine companions. They also stressed their belief that a commitment to healthy, happy dogs continues even after the puppies have made their way to new homes. Bobbye added, “It’s rewarding and most enjoyable to keep in touch with our puppies’ new families. It also keeps us informed on the success of our program.”

New Release Addresses the Impact Extramarital Affairs Have on the Future of Marriage; Book by Rica Gold

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Adultery is Universal; But I’m Getting married Anyway” by Rica Gold.

HESPERIA, Calif. (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

When people are in love and feel that their relationship is “special,” infidelity is not even on the radar – until it’s discovered. The author’s research shows that 41 percent or more of men and women admit to physical or emotional infidelity while in a committed relationship and that nearly half of all Americans think marriage is obsolete. Approximately half of all first marriages end in divorce and second marriages have an equal percentage of failure, and yet most people still want to be married, the author writes in this new book. People yearn for and expect to have a loyal, trusting, blissful connection with another partner who wants the same thing with them and no one else. Why then does someone of character violate their commitment in spite of their desire? What if the need for marriage ceases to exist?

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Rica Gold explores the state of unions throughout time and introduces factors that explain the impossible dilemma couples experience today, have in the past and will in the future. She takes the reader through the history of infidelity and marriage, from the dalliances of pharaohs to society’s current notorious sexual affairs while learning how technological information has contributed to the intrigue of infidelity through cybersex, online affairs and easy availability of virtual pornography.

The author examines monogamy vs. biological drive, and she offers perspective with an emphasis on effective communication to couples seeking successful marriage or experiencing infidelity. As Gold discusses the myriad of elements that contribute to this hot topic, she weaves in vivid fictional accounts throughout the book of people involved in a variety of extramarital affairs.

Adultery is Universal is a compelling, thought-provoking read, full of startling statistics and fascinating scenarios designed to aid readers who have had, are in an affair or who may be considering taking a step into adultery. Rica Gold, Ph.D., has hosted her own radio and television shows and teaches college courses in communication studies. In her private practice she provides group as well as individual life and wellness coaching to the business and private sectors. As a provider for the Board of Behavioral Science in California, Gold also writes continuing education courses for mental health professionals.
