WEDNESDAY, July 7 - "DANGEROUS DOG" DISCUSSION WITH ASPCA EXPERTS
Participate in our online discussion, Wednesday, July 7th
Are you facing the prospect of having to give up your companion animal because your state legislature or town council is considering breed-specific legislation? Has your insurance company notified you that it is canceling your homeowner's policy because your dog is a certain breed? At the ASPCA, we believe that these solutions to the so-called "dangerous dog" problem will not work. To find out more, you're invited to join Dr. Pamela Reid, vice president, ASPCA Animal Behavior Center, and Stephen L. Zawistowki, Ph.D., senior vice president, National Programs, at the Washington Post online in a moderated discussion, "Deeming Dogs Dangerous in the United States: Facts or Politics?"
Everyone is welcome to participate in this event, which takes place next Wednesday, July 7, at 1 P.M.
Attendees can submit questions for our experts anytime before or during the discussion. For more information, please visit the Washington Post online. If you are concerned about the "dangerous dog" issue, you won't want to miss this -- and we hope to see you online next Wednesday.

BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG KITTY! CHECK OUT THE ANNUAL "BROADWAY BARKS!" ADOPTION EVENT
The ASPCA is teaming up with Mary Tyler Moore, Bernadette Peters, and a host of stars from New York City's top Broadway productions--including Shirley Jones, Audra McDonald and Avenue Q's John Tartaglia--for the sixth annual Broadway Barks!

Head on down to Schubert Alley, located at West 45th Street and Broadway, from 3:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. (FYI, if you're in it for the stargazing, celebrity presentations of pets will begin at 5:30.)
For more information, please visit Broadway Barks! online
July 4th fireworks and dogs don't mix reminder -
FOURTH OF JULY IS NO PICNIC FOR DOGS AND CATS
Loud, crowded fireworks displays are no fun for pets, so please resist the urge to take them to Independence Day festivities. Instead, keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area at home. And for expert tips on how to keep your animal companions cool when the weather heats up, visit .
