Eliminating Misconceptions

This is one article in a series written by Best Friends that chronicles how some of the Michael Vick dogs are progressing. This article discusses the three dogs awarded to Georgia SPCA and how they are changing America's perception of former fighting dogs

By Jennifer Hayes, Best Friends Staff

The pit bulls and Staffordshire terriers of Michael Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels are the first fighting dogs who have been given the opportunity for evaluation, rescue, and rehabilitation. Best Friends received 22 of the dogs and the remaining 25 were awarded to seven separate animal welfare organizations. For months, nothing about the dogs could be disclosed; however, in late January the court mandated gag order was lifted.

Three of the Vick dogs were awarded to the Georgia SPCA and according to the shelter’s Director, Joan Sammond, “So far they’ve been doing great.”

All three have been in foster homes since they arrived. Makevelli, formerly known as Big Fella is shy, but friendly. Sammond comments that “He wouldn’t hurt a flea.” Aretha has now been renamed Seven, as in Lucky Seven. She was one of the females used for breeding. Although those days are now over for her, she still carries scars, both physically and emotionally.

ART & WINE AUCTION
BENEFITS GA SPCA

Over 100 guests attended the recent "Live Art. Love Animals." fundraiser held at vboggs galleries at Suwanee’s Town Center Park. A silent auction consisting of 29 works of art, several large format wines and other fun items were up for auction with proceeds benefiting the Georgia SPCA. The first-time event was a huge success as the silent auction brought out the competitive spirit in the guests and every single item went home with someone.

Area artists, along with artists already represented in the gallery, put their best foot forward and donated beautiful pieces. All original artwork was Juried into the show, with four award winners: 1st Place – Vickie Johnson's Great Dane 2nd Place – Troy Criswell's Cat & Moon Honorable Mentions – Kay Hibbard and Ingrid Bolton.
