Here is the Health update from Brandon Bond:
"Annie Oakley (named after anorexia) is still magically loosing weight
so she is at her forth trip to the vet and this time she has to spend
the night. They are doing more tests, expensive ones, and potentially
painful ones... but shes holding up incredibly well, happy, and loves
golf cart rides as can be seen here:

While doing xrays, our vetranarian team discovered a bb in her, so
someone has shot her with a bb gun before. They are removing the bb
tonight and treating her digestive system for parasites, pancreatic
issues, and about a million other things. If we can save her, we will,
regardless of what it costs and how long it takes. Thank you for all
your letters and kind words, she appreciates it".
This was just sent to us about the plight and youtube thing on Annie Oakley the rescued pit mix with the abuse and health problems...
"Wow. You guys are absolutely amazing. We have a few shelters in my area but i have never paid too much attention to them. After watching your video I am going to start volunteering my time to helping animals in shelters find homes. It's not like the dog can post a personal add ya know they need help. Thank you for all u do and giving me the inspiration".

Please circulate that and the new movie as much as possible - Annie (named for anorexia) is in the hospital again - sugery may be impending. Our friend Caysee was going to adopt her but cant afford the bills and doesnt have time that is needed for this special case. So Im paying for the bills no problemo, the issue is where she will go afterwards? We need to find her a home asap!!!!
Thanks for helping, shes worth it.
Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends (AARF) and All or Nothing Tattoo celebrate amazing rescued pets with its 2008 calendar. With all the attention focused this year on the crime of dog fighting, more light could be shed on the faces of its victims. AARF is putting two of those adorable faces in the spotlight with the release of its 2008 Rescue Tails Calendar. Pit bulls Cain and Medusa, who were rescued by Atlanta tattoo artist Brandon Bond, are featured on the cover of the calendar.
Cain, a 14-year-old rescued fighting dog, and Medusa, a 5-year-old deaf, abused and badly scarred pit bull, were given a second chance at a happy life and have grown into two of the sweetest and most loving pets in the world. Brandon, an avid animal rescuer and supporter of animal welfare groups like AARF, will be selling autographed calendars through his online store,
www.strangleholdmerch.com, with all proceeds benefiting AARF, throughout the holiday season this year.
Brandon has fostered homeless animals for 12 years and has helped save and place in loving homes more than 200 animals by spreading the word about their plight through his loyal fan base. His primary focus is working with rescued and abused pit bulls, four of which permanently reside in his home.
AARF is planning a Calendar Release Party to celebrate Cain, Medusa, and all the other fantastic rescued pets featured in the 2008 calendar. The party will be held Tuesday, Nov. 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at WAG-A-LOT Midtown West at 1456 Northside Drive in Atlanta (
www.wagalot.com ). Well-behaved leashed pets are invited. Calendars will be available at the discounted price of $7.50 (regular price, $20). Light refreshments and drinks will be available. Calendars can also be purchased online at
www.aarfatlanta.org. For more information, visit
