What did these puppies do to deserve being in jail? Is being homeless a crime?
Santa Claus thinks its pretty outrageous so he’s posted bail for 200 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats who will be “behind bars” for a marathon adoption event at the Stamford PetSmart, Dec. 12-14.
There will be a “bonafide jail cell” for puppies, dignified dogs forced to wear reindeer antler hats, kittens beating the daylights out of jingle bells and classy cats sitting under the mistletoe.
Santa’s so determined to spring these little guys, he and his elves will be staying up all night Saturday, Dec. 13 at the PetSmart, 288 West Avenue in Stamford, Connecticut.
“We’re not going home until they do,” Santa proclaimed.
With the lingering recession and increasing abandonment of pets due to foreclosures, it’s time for a holiday miracle for pets. The SPCA of Connecticut is teaming up with national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society to spring these deserving animals and get them into loving forever homes.
Sponsors present include Dr. Gloria Andrews, Dr. Gwen Davis, Etowah Valley Humane Society, Newtown Animal Control, Southern Hope Humane Society, TAILS, SPCA of Connecticut and Best Friends Animal Society.
View some of the pets online at www.spcact.org or call (203) 445-9978 for event and adoption information.

field as two boys ran alongside Desi, a skinny Labrador
retriever. The sun bounced off the dog's black coat as he
cantered easily beside the 8-year-old holding his leash.
"I love that dog," William Schmalz said, grinning
at his wife, Jacqueline, as they watched their sons play
with Desi. The family had come to the September dog adoption
in Wilton, Conn., hoping to find a golden retriever. Instead,
they were asked to look at Desi. As the boys raced back
to their parents, Desi at their side, Jacqueline Schmalz
turned to the rescue worker and smiled. "I guess what
we really wanted was a black Lab," she said, patting
the panting dog's head. Desi's journey had started three
weeks and 1,000 miles earlier in a field in Fairburn. But
in this field in Wilton, Conn., Desi found the one thing
he didn't have in Georgia. A home. Shelter shock Stacey
Hall, an adoption counselor at Fulton County Animal Services,
spent three weeks planning Desi's trip north. Read
