If You Have About $200.00 and a Good Home...

By

...and you live in the MD/DC/VA area, and you'd like to have a pet, consider adopting a puppy:

The Fairfax County Animal Shelter brought up about 60 of the dogs on Thursday. Some of the dogs were sent to shelters in Alexandria. The Animal Rescue League in D.C. brought back about 105 dogs. The Montgomery County Humane Society has some as well. The shelters will provide safe, temporary homes for some of the dogs.

Why are there so many dogs? Well:

The massive breeding operation came to light after an investigation by the Humane Society of the United States. On Tuesday, Junior Horton, of Hillsville, voluntarily surrendered about 980 dogs, mostly small breed puppies like Yorkshire terriers and miniature poodles.

The last I heard on TV, the dogs go for about $150.00 each. Which is actually a loss for the shelters because it costs about $2,000.00 to care for each canine.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
