About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives.

The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap 
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat & Purrrrrrrrrrrfect to see all these FURever homes. 🙂
Yes!!!
“Will love for food.”
I have a lump in my throat!
I did too, Tess, when I saw it.
Wonderful but the last pic. made me cry.
I know. He looks exactly like our rescue before Max & Bella, Eli. We got him out of a kill shelter when he was 12 and had him for a beautiful poignant 10 months. And, boy did that guy know how to love!
I remember reading about Eli, he was gorgeous.
He was a very handsome boy! 🙂 wag wag and sweet rubbies to Tara.
BOL from Tara! 😆
Save, they are all SAVE! Happy dance.
Big happy circling wagging BOL dance. 🙂
Wow, wonderful way to love those animals!
So true, my sweet loving friend. 🙂
Wonderful pictures of happy endings, have a home is the most important condition, congratulations for this great work 🙂
Thank you so much, Belen. It’s so true, if only everyone, furry and human, had a roof over their head and food on their plate. You may say I’m a dreamer… 🙂
I love these happy posts! 🙂
Do do I, Colleen. 🙂
So lovely!
Yes it sure is! I thought of you when I saw that photo of Aiden & Todd going on in that kitty tower. You little sweetheart has turned into the most beautiful kitty. 🙂
He has, thank you Paulette 🙂
🙂
Paulette, Whenever you post one of these going home picture galleries, I smile, and realize the wonderful work you do, and you see it in each of the smiles, in the eyes, and you know it is in the hearts. Take care, Bill
Thank you, Bill. It’s so heartwarming that there are so many good people out there helping and changing lives, not just with this shelter but all over the world in so many ways and I love hearing about those things. Big hug to you. 🙂
Womderful adoptions going on there. Those people just made the day for themselves and the pet/s that they were taking home. This is my own quote:
“A pet will be a light in your eyes and a highlight of your life.” – yvonne daniel
That’s a beautiful and very true quote from your wonderful self. Thank you for sharing it here on this happy page. Hugs to you, my friend yvonne daniel. 🙂
Let me just say – Kiki’s new dad is quite yummy… Maybe I must go sit in one of those cages to be adopted!! Then again, I might be ready to be put to pasture 😉
As for the rest – I just love these posts of yours P – they always put a smile on my dial, even if I’m not checking out the biped specimens 😉
You don’t need a cage, you can crash on our couch or air mattress, lol. I know what you mean about putting a smile on your face, it’s such a feel good thing to see them in their homes. 🙂
Paulette–this scroll for me was a range of emotions. From pure pleasure, to avid curiosity to see the facial expressions of the furry babeez, to sighs of genuine pleasure–I actually said ooOOOh, out loud, ahem, to my kitties, of course–and felt tears in my eyes even before that last heart-string tugging & accurately worded picture.
It is the greatest thing! I am sharing everywhere! And my book arrived just this morning–when DarDar stops napping on it, I will be reading very soon.
To say: keep up all your awesomeness is redundant, because you will. 🙂
Hi there! Interestingly it was a range of emotions for me as well. When I was downloading the photos from SPARs facebook page and I read the comment by the one above “family” he mentioned that the man in the photo was being reunited with his dog, despite his having his own problems. Look at how his dogs reacted to seeing his master, his family, made me want to weep. Some brought absolute joy, a couple a deep sincere wish that the furry family member has a good life and stays with their forever family, as part of the family. It’s a prayer I put out to life, that things will work out and there will be less suffering. That last one was a killer but I had to post it or I would have carried it around in my head till I did. Prayers that more find forever homes and it works out for all concerned. Give Dar-Dar a rubbie from me and tell her I hope you read some of the animal parts in the book to her, the good ones. Hope you enjoy!. Have a great weekend. xoxox
Amazing heart warming pictures. these are the most faithful friend is in the world. l appreciate your visit.jalal Michael
Faithful friend describes them so well, my friend. Thank you! 🙂
Such adorable animals and a great job on helping find them loving homes!
They really are adorable. The shelter’s been doing a great job on their outreach and helping to find homes for quite a few furry friends. Yeah!!!! 🙂
Nothing warms my heart more than to see precious animals get their forever homes.
The last one made makes my eyes tear.
I’m with you on both accounts, heartwarming, eye tearing. We rescued an elderly chocolate lab, Eli, a little over two years ago. He was 12 when we took him off the hard cold concrete slab in a kill shelter. We only had him for 10 months but in that time he loved us a lifetime worth of heartwarming memories. He looked just like the dog in that last photo. 🙂
These are really heart touching pictures.
Yes, they really are. So are yours that I’m taking the liberty of sharing here, some of my favorite dog shots that I’ve seen at your site. You’re a magnificent photographer and I’m very happy we’ve connected.
Hope my friends will take a moment to visit this great page to see some other wonderful dog photos: http://smallpiecesoflife.wordpress.com/category/dogs/
I love happy heart endings that begin….
Thank you for sharing so many smiles!
Take Care…You Matter…

Awww….Home sweet home!!! Thank you for sharing for it is always great to know that a pet has found him/herself a loving home!
Cheers!! 😀
It’s the best. The shelter’s been great about doing outreach and adopting out the dogs and cats they rescue. It’s so great because with each furry friend they help find a forever home, it’s another place that opens in the shelter for somedog/somecat else to be helped. Cheers indeed!! 🙂
