Dogs Deserve Better Inc. takes two first place wins and a second, with founder Tamira Thayne claiming spots in four categories
Tipton, PA, December 10, 2010—Tipton, Pennsylvania-based Dogs Deserve Better, a 501c3 organization dedicated to freeing chained and penned dogs, was named first place winner in the 2010 American Dog Magazine Humanitarian Awards in both the Voice for Chained Dogs and the Rescue Organization Saving Dogs categories.
The group also took second place in the Animal Website category. Founder and CEO Tamira Ci Thayne took four spots, with seconds in Individual Saving/Adopting Dogs and Animal Welfare Lobbyist, and thirds in Role Model-Philanthropist and Animal Advocate for Dogs.
Thayne states "Chained dogs need a voice, a strong voice, and Dogs Deserve Better strives to be that voice every single day. I am incredibly grateful for the recognition of our work, and dedicate it all to our amazing reps who are out there rescuing dogs in tough situations. We are building an awareness of chaining that is heretofore unprecedented: it's time for this archaic treatment of Our Best Friends to end, and I commend all those who voted for us for recognizing that. I also congratulate every single winner of this year's awards, and all those who equally deserved to win. Together we can change the world."
Thayne is the author of the upcoming "Capitol in Chains: 52 Days of the Doghouse Blues," as well as "Scream Like Banshee: 29 Days of Tips and Tales to Keep your Sanity as a Doggie Foster Parent," and editor of "Unchain My Heart: Dogs Deserve Better Rescue Stories of Courage, Compassion, and Caring."
