A Call for Compassion and Justice: Rehoming Slayer and Bella, Two Inseparable Great Danes Amid Unsolved Tragedy

In the shadow of a heart-wrenching tragedy where Jose Pineda was fatally struck by a street racing gang, leaving a case that remains unsolved, a family mourns their irreplaceable loss and faces the daunting task of rehoming two cherished companions, Slayer and Bella. These Great Danes, symbols of the life and joy once shared with Jose, now need a new loving home, as their current family grapples with this enormous loss and the ongoing quest for justice.

About Slayer

• Breed: Great Dane
• Gender: Male
• Birth Date: June 2020
• Weight: Approximately 55 kg (121 lbs)
• Food Preference: Pedigree brand
• Health: Up-to-date on rabies vaccination, active license until 2024

Slayer, embodying loyalty and warmth, was a source of comfort to Jose. At 55 kg (121 lbs), he is a gentle giant who lives for playful games and heartfelt cuddles. Though occasionally battling allergies, his spirit remains undimmed, reflecting the love he shared with Jose.

About Bella

• Breed: Great Dane
• Gender: Female
• Birth Date: June 2020
• Weight: Approximately 49 kg (108 lbs)
• Food Preference: Pedigree chicken flavor

Bella, matching Slayer in kindness, also mirrors the nurturing care of Jose. Weighing 49 kg (108 lbs), she expresses joy with twirls and tender nuzzles, embodying the loving spirit that once filled their home.

Their Life Together
Having brought into the world three litters, Slayer and Bella share a bond of deep connection and mutual support, underscored by their shared life’s journey. Their story of unity and love demands they stay together, honoring the memory of the happiness they shared with Jose.

Adoption Appeal
As the family navigates their grief and the unresolved pursuit of justice for Jose Pineda, the immediate need is to find a compassionate home for Slayer and Bella. They deserve an environment where their strong bond can continue and where they will be cherished as they were by Jose.

Please Note: The animals are now being transported to Lancaster. The pup has found his forever home. If you are moved to act, to provide a sanctuary for these two beautiful Great Danes and support a family in their time of need and quest for justice, please reach out. Together, we can offer Slayer and Bella the loving home they need, honoring the legacy of care and affection they received from Jose Pineda.

Serious inquiries only, please respond to: [email protected].

Thank you for considering this urgent plea for a permanent solution. We hope to hear from you soon. This is being reposted as the dogs are still in need of loving homes.

I need your help urgently. A dear client and friend who assists parents of murdered children has reached out to me with an desperate plea for help. We don't have much time—just a few days—to find homes for two Great Danes left behind after a recent tragedy. She is trying to rehome these dogs as their guardian, a victim of a hit-and-run by a street racing gang, was killed as he was pulling into his home.

The family is overwhelmed with grief and unable to care for these dogs, and she is dreading the thought of surrendering them to the local shelter. It's something she would really want to avoid. Given the time constraints, I'm reaching out to my wider network for any help you all can provide. These dogs are a living link to their guardia, and it's crucial that we find them a loving home.

Any assistance, whether it's finding them a temporary foster home, a permanent adoptive family, or even just advice on what to do next, would be immensely valuable.

Some pet food brands have been associated with illness and even death in dogs and cats. Reported signs include sudden death, seizures, muscle weakness, vomiting and diarrhea. All foods made by Purina, both cat and dog are apparently being implicated.

Apparently in some cases people reported that their pet, who had been eating a particular formula refused food from a newly opened bag, and then when they did finally eat it, developed vomiting and diarrhea.

We understand pet parents are concerned! We are trying to get answers as soon as possible. At this time we do not know the specific contaminant, but have sam...

Thanks to all who have donated towards my vet clinic. As I move forward I will likely be getting a loan from the bank to fund the majority of the construction and equipment costs involved, so rest assured quality will not be compromised. Any further contributions will be much appreciated as I embark on this new venture to help people and their animal companions. I urge you to read the whole write-up if you don't know me that well or haven't known me for very long. It will only take about 5 minutes even if you're a slow reader!

Spaying and neutering saves lives - not just those of the unborn dogs and cats spared homelessness, predation, trauma, starvation and other misfortunes, but also of the dogs and cats undergoing the procedure. Today I spayed and neutered three dogs and one cat. The cat had pyometra as it turned out, which is a life-threatening infection of the uterus, and is expected to do very well. They had a saying in vet school: "Never let the sun set on a pyometra." That means time is of the essence because waiting too long could cause bacterial toxins to be released into the animal's bloodstream, having fatal effects. Thankfully, this cat was spayed in time.

During the holidays, be careful not to let your feline friend ingest linear foreign bodies such as ribbon, tinsel, flocking material and water at the base of a Christmas tree. All pets should be monitored while in the presence of these glittery items which can be very tempting especially for a kitten to play with that could lead to an expensive vet visit. Even carpet threads, string, and dental floss can be ingested by cats (and dogs), leading to foreign body obstructions.
