So, as some of you may or may not know, Drummer John and I lived in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for two years. We met some amazing people there and Drummer John had the pleasure of starting a band with one of them. They were called the Playa Dawgs because Andy, the singer in the video below, co-founded and runs a no-kill pet shelter that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes neglected, sick and abused dogs and cats.

The reason I’m telling you this is because recently they rescued a dog named Oscar, who is a Pit Bull. In the Peanut Pet Shelter’s own words:

Our latest PPS rescue is Oscar the Pit Bull who arrived today. Named for the extremely kind man who has been feeding him and who alerted us to his plight, Oscar is a truly sad case. He is hungry, he has mange, fungus, open sores and parasites. His ears have been cropped so short as to be almost non-existent. Worst of all, Oscar has given up hope. Look into his eyes and you will see no sign of suffering, pain, discomfort or distress, there is simply…..nothing. He is not aggressive or resistant. He is not friendly or loving. He neither  accepts or rejects affection. He is simply existing, a hollow shell of an animal.

Oscar needs all the help he can get. I believe that Andy and Jen at the Peanut Pet Shelter can rehabilitate this dog, but they need help. Please consider donating whatever you can to help save this dog: http://peanutpetshelter.org/donations.html You can also help out by purchasing some of the awesome merchandise in their store. Our house is covered in Peanut Pet Shelter swag and it’s all the rage, so get yours: http://peanutpetshelter.org/store.html

I will keep you posted about this worthy organization!
