Star Light and Magic is more than just a great place to obtain theatrical supplies and special effects. We also support our communities, both locally and across the country through donations to charities for sick children and homeless animals. Hundreds of toys go to "Kids Wish Network", a non-profit distribution network for children nationwide: Our work with homeless and abused animals is more hands-on. We have fed, cared for and found homes for approx. 200 animals over the years. This is in response, in part, to a local humane society that is quick to kill homeless animals, disorganized and unable or unwilling to work with "problem" animals. Here are some of their stories: Son Shine Son Shine is the "Chairman of the Board", and possibly the sweetest dog on the planet. He didn't start out that way, though. He was discovered wandering starving and homeless after a lifetime of severe abuse that had almost robbed him completely of his spirit. He was very afraid and would not let anyone near him without biting. We grabbed him and held on, as we knew that if the humane society got him, they would put him down instantly. He stayed quarantined in the weeks that followed, but was given a lot of verbal assurance, and eventually became the lovable goof that he is today. His biting days are forever in the past, and he lives as a testament to the power of love and hope reclaimed. He loves to run in circles and play with the cats, who regard him with tenderness and use him as an occasional pillow. Zero and Biscuit Zero and Biscuit are father and son, found running for their lives. Zero was terribly abused, and seemed somewhat determined to find a better life for his boy. They play, eat and sleep together and are inseperable, though Biscuits' youthful excuberance does occassionally wear thin with daddy Zero, they are very happy to be together and safe at last. Yellar Yellar likes to lay on his back, so we took this picture of him, flipped it over and stuck it on an old "Nirvana" CD cover. He is a "gentle giant", weighing in at about 80 lbs. He was abused and neglected, as are a lot of pit bulls, and still a little "gun shy", ducking easily if you raise your hand quickly - a telltale sign of mistreatment. He's a good boy, and lets the smaller dogs boss him around. He is happy just to relax and lay around after a tough upbringing. Buck Buck was found abandoned behind a crack house after the residents had left. He had lived his entire life on a short, 4 foot chain with little food or water. He was given no treatment for fleas, which he was very allergic to. He now enjoys his own air-conditioned room and monthly flea treatments. He's very excuberant and loves to hop and run. He's been slow to socialize, and prefers to be alone much of the time, but does so in comfort. He's still unsure how to run properly, from his years on the chain, but has a big heart and is quick to press his head against your leg to show his love and devotion. Mun Pi Pronounced "Moon Pie". After dodging a couple of cars, she actually laid down in the road in front of ours. She, like many others, had plenty of signs of abuse. Now she guards the warehouse from intruders.
