‼️URGENT: SWEET MELINDA IS NOW RED LISTED AT SAN JACINTO VALLEY SHELTER IN CALIFORNIA‼️ Melinda #A1930405 is an adorable 1 year old Malinois at the San Jacinto, CA shelter. She is about as cute as it gets! Everyone seems to fall in love with her as soon as they see her. Yet, somehow, she has not had any luck finding her family. 📝 Melinda has a very sweet, playful energy about her. But don’t let her adorableness fool you! Her ears are constantly working and she is aware of everything around her. She is extremely smart and I could see her being trained very easily. She didn’t know any commands but by the end of our 30 min., she eagerly sat for a ball or treats! She also tried to break into our container full of toys, no doubt smelling what was in there! Melinda is also great with other dogs. She has been kenneled with a few different dogs and seems extremely tolerant of all types of personalities. One of her current kennel mates is a lot of energy and was jumping on her and biting her neck (playfully), and Melinda took it all in stride. She was easy to walk on leash, let me brush her, and is really just a great dog.🥰 Basic Info: - 40 lbs. - female Belgian Malinois - Came in as a stray on July 31 st. - Listed as a year old (she might even be younger) - Interested in toys but would rather get pets - treat motivated - easy to walk on leash - kenneled with other dogs Please share Melinda so she can get the heck outa there! 🙏 She shouldn’t die just because she wants to be out of her kennel.😥 San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus 581 S.

🚨 Attention dog lovers 🚨 Major is a Belgian Malinois service dog. He has spent more than 545 days alone in an isolation kennel at the Austin Animal Center. No walks. No pets. No people. Now the city wants to put him down. Here's what happened: * March 2025, a pickup truck hit Major. * He was hurt and in pain, and a woman who stopped to help tried to lift him into a car. * He bit her. * A municipal judge ordered him euthanized as a danger to the public. * His human, Shane Lilly, has fought it through the Texas Supreme Court ever since. Now a federal judge has put the euthanasia on hold and is expected to decide within days whether an independent trainer can evaluate Major for rehabilitation. More than 54,000 people have signed the petition to free him. An injured dog snapped while a stranger was moving him. After a year and a half in solitary, Austin's answer is a needle? Want to help? Here's who to reach out to: Austin Animal Services: 512-974-2000 Mayor Kirk Watson's office: 512-978-2100 Ask them to agree to an independent evaluation and release Major to a qualified trainer. Please share this and let's get as many people as possible to help this pup!!

Congressman Casar and other local leaders have been slandering the doctors at Seton like crazy over this... A doctor in Austin is not going to deny someone medical care they need because an ICE agent asks them to, it would violate everything doctors are about, come on!

While everyone is focused on the ICE shooting in Austin, the City Council is quietly spending an insane amount of taxpayer money on lawyers to fight deportations. It's tucked into Thursday's consent agenda so it can pass without a word of debate or controversy. The money goes to two nonprofits, American Gateways and Catholic Charities, to provide what the City's own documents call "deportation defense." It pays for: 1. Lawyers representing "detained and non-detained immigrants," including people ICE is actively trying to remove. 2. Coaching immigrants representing themselves in immigration court, helping them file motions and meet deadlines to stay in the country. 3. Legal work that helps immigrants obtain work permits. 4. Federal immigration filing fees. Total bill to be approved: $854,872 City staff list one of the program's goals as helping clients "obtain and maintain public benefits." Austin has already paid American Gateways $3.4 million since 2019, and after Thursday the four contracts will be authorized for up to $6.7 million.

The City of Austin is preparing to extend contracts with Catholic Charities of Central Texas - another $315,592 - totaling over $2.6M for legal and counseling services for immigrants from the Public Health budget.

Austin City Council is voting on contract extensions with American Gateways - $548,280 more - totaling $4M to stabilize the immigration status of immigrants by providing screenings, consultations, pro se assistance and legal representation from the Public Health budget.

I’m demanding answers from DHS and ICE about today's shooting in Austin. They must preserve every piece of evidence, release the body cam footage, suspend the agent, and brief Congress. ICE has lied before. We deserve the truth.
