Long Beach animal control workers, assisted by LA Animal License Inspectors, will be canvassing door to door to check up on dog (and cat?) licenses.

Here is part of the news release:

“Our 5 lb. and 28 lb. Sweet Potato & Chicken Dry Dog food, manufactured on December 17, 2009 with a “Best By” date of June 17, 2011 is being voluntarily recalled. A random sampling of this product tested positive for Salmonella by the FDA. In my mind, I asked, “How can this happen? I spent over $900,000 putting in our laboratory to test our products before we release them.” We tested samples from the production run when it was manufactured six months ago, and the results came back negative.”

The Sirens Society is excited to host its fundraiser, “There’s A New Top Dog”, on Wednesday, June 16 at The Parlor Hollywood, to support the documentary “Fixing Fido” and raise awareness on the sad situation of dog overpopulation.

The event also includes music by DJ Savi, a complimentary wine bar, Parlor Hollywood hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction with must-have items.
