Losing your dog can be a heartbreaking experience! However, did you know that if your dog has been embedded with a microchip it has a much greater chance of being returned to you?! That's right, a tiny microchip has revolutionized the way we protect our furry friends. The microchip is a permanent form of identification that is about the size of a piece of rice. It is injected under the flap of skin on the back of the dog's neck and cannot be removed. Vets and shelters are able to scan dogs to find out who they belong to and where they live. Though a microchip does not guarantee the return of Fido…it greatly increases the chances that he will come home safely! For more information about microchips, please visit Avid MicroChip. Their website is full of interesting and helpful information! http://www.avidmicrochip.co m/index.htm Note: Most veterinarians and humane societies have microchip services at very low cost. Check with your vet today! |

“Chaining a dog is arguably the single most dangerous condition in which to maintain a dog.” –Karen Delise, author of Fatal Dog Attacks |
Believe it or not, many dogs live their lives chained (or tethered) to a tree. What kind of life is this? Well I’ll tell you….a MISERABLE one. Please click on the links below to read more about this terrible practice and why is should be outlawed. http://www.unchainyourdog.org/ http://www.helpinganimals.com/ga_chained.asp |

Do you remember Koko? Of course you do! Koko is the famous gorilla that was taught sign language by Dr. Francine Patterson at Stanford University. Koko has learned over 1000 signs...all based on American Sign Language. In 1984, around her 12th birthday, Koko signed to her trainer that she wanted a pet cat. Her trainer obliged and got her a kitten from an abandoned litter. Koko immediately named the cat All-Ball. When All-Ball died, Koko signed the words cry and sad for days. How heartbreaking! A short time later, All-Ball was replaced by not one, but two kittens which were named Lipstick and Shirley. Koko’s love for cats only goes to show that not only humans love having pets!

Did You Know....... |
Nearly 40% of cat bites become infected and require medical care while only 20% of dogs bites become infected and need treatment! This is because a cat's teeth can cause puncture wounds and the risk of infection deep within the skin is much greater. Now you know! |

Recently, Wyoming became the 50th state to designate dog fighting as a felony offense! The bill was signed by Gov. Dave Freundenthal on March 4, 2008. Just one week earlier, Idaho joined the fight and passed similar legislation. Hopefully, now that prison time is a good possibility for offenders, people will think twice before participating in this disgusting blood sport! |

Le Doux is a swimwear company that specializes in bikinis. Personally, I have not worn a bikini in 10 years...but that's another story! They sell a bikini that is covered in puppy dogs! Le Doux will donate 10% to the ASPCA for every "Puppy Love" bikini that is sold. What a great deal! However, I will warn you....they are a bit pricey (but it's a great cause!) |
Meet Doodle (love the name!!) our featured Dog of the Week! Doodle is a one year old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. He loves to cuddle, sleep and eat tortillas! Yes, I said tortillas! You go Doodle! He also loves to go for walks...though he doesn't care much for the squirrels he meets along the way! Doodle, thanks for being our Dog of the Week! We think you are extra cute. |
I think it is safe to say that Margaret and her husband LOVE Scottish Terriers! In fact, they love them so much, that over the years, they have adopted four! Margaret’s Terriers all came from rescue groups such as Help for Homeless Pets in Billings, Montana. Even though two of Margaret’s precious Scotties have passed away, they will continue to live on in the many wonderful memories that they left behind. Her two current Scotties are named Maddie and Scoutie and they are as cute as can be! Margaret: Thank you for helping to spread the word about rescue animals! I think you said it best: “Stop the breeding and RESCUE a best friend today!” |

Last summer, Rachel and Simon saw an ad on Craigs list. The ad contained a picture of a Beagle that was available for adoption at the Harnett County Animal Shelter in North Carolina. The good news was that Rachel and Simon both wanted a dog…the bad news was that the Beagle in the ad was scheduled to be euthanized the very next day if he wasn’t adopted! Luckily, with TWO hours to spare, Rachel and Simon arrived at the shelter. When they first saw the Beagle, he was shaking and scared. When he was brought out of his cage to meet his prospective new owners, the first thing he did was lay his head right in Rachel’s lap! It was meant to be! Rachel and Simon named their new friend Seymour. After leaving the shelter, there was work to be done! Seymour was filthy, sick, scared and he had a broken toe! He also had bite marks on his legs, two types of worms, fleas, and ticks so large that the vet initially thought they were tumors! Poor Seymour! I’m happy to say that with lots of tender loving care and vet visits, Seymour the Beagle is one happy pup! For the first time in his life he has a forever loving home with toys, food and people that love him. He has learned several tricks including play dead and shake. He loves to meet new people, as well as new dog friends. Thank you Simon and Rachel for saving a dog on death row…..Seymour is one lucky pup! |

The Boxer is medium in size, compact, muscular and squarely built dog. Their coats are short and smooth and are usually fawn or brindle with a black mask. Often, the Boxer also has white markings....usually found on the chest. They weigh 50 to 80 pounds, are 21 to 25 inches in height and live approximately 8 to 11 years. The Boxer is a loving clown, bursting with personality and energy. They require a lot of exercise, a lot of training and a lot of attention! Boxers thrive from human companionship and love being part of a family. Loving and protective, the Boxer is a wonderful dog for an experienced, energetic family with older children. The Boxer is often too strong and too boisterous for younger children or the frail elderly. The Boxer can be a city dog or country dog as long as he gets plenty of exercise. He is not an ideal apartment dog as he needs plenty of room to romp and play. A yard with a high fence is ideal. Boxers can be strong minded, stubborn dogs, therefore, they can be challenging to train. If possible, training should begin early and should be firm, consistent and kind. If you are interested in becoming a proud parent to one of these cheerful, playful, lively, loyal dogs, please visit: http://www.adoptaboxerrescue.com/ or http://www.boxerfriends.org/ |
If you come across a sick or injured dog or cat always approach with caution and care! Even if the injured animal is your own pet...proceed with caution! Injured animals often strike out when frightened or in pain. Approach the animal SLOWLY and allow them to smell the back of your hand. Keep an eye on the animal's posture and body language as these are telling signs. Always allow the animal to see what you are doing. If you approach from behind, you may startle them. Speak in a soft, soothing tone and avoid direct eye contact. If possible, have a friend or adult family member assist you. |
How to Approach a Sick or Injured Dog or Cat |
1. Hissing or spitting 2. Dilated pupils 3. Ears flat against the head 4. Fast twittering of the tail 5. Pulling away or tensing of the muscles |
