4 The Love Of Animals

AUGUST 30, 2011

Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. Have you ever seen a kid talk to a pet and the animal responds by wagging its tail or purring? Animals are unbiased companions, just what many kids need.

At an NYC puppy shelter a few weeks ago, my mind was just about made up when I met Chester – The cutest Lab puppy I’d ever seen. After talking to the owner of the shelter however, I learned there was more to adopting little Chester, or any pet for that matter, than my love at first bark. The following is a guest post from Kevin Sloan.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) energy healing is a gentle, painless, yet powerful modality that works on all living things – human and animal. Animals in particular are receptive to Reiki, because they have a higher energy frequency running through their bodies than humans do. Other times the animal will become invigorated and energized.

In case you are not home when disaster strikes, pre-place stickers on your doors to notify emergency workers or neighbors where on your property your animals are located and where to find your emergency pet kit. Most often pets are not allowed in these shelters due to reasons of human health safety.

With the growing awareness of pet overpopulation more and more families are choosing to adopt a shelter dog and save a life. Rarely do shelters know anything about the dog’s history when they first come in and the longer a dog lives at the shelter the more impact it will have on their emotional well-being.

One of the sheltered bays on Isla Isabel. These mangroves function as a sanctuary for fish and other animals that then make their way as adults across the channel to the coral reefs that surround the island. For those birders who want a Galapagos-like experience but without throngs of other visitors, Isla Isabel is a fantastic option.

I just watched episode 1, season 1, of Dogtown , the National Geographic Channel TV show about Dogtown at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. My hands-on experience is with small mammals/critters and cats. If we expend the money and energy on "rehabilitating" hardened criminals, then why can't we do so with animals.

It was bit of a traumatic experience for me and I vowed to never own an animal again. But as I began my search for a new family member at local shelters, I noticed that something was terribly wrong—I couldn’t hold the dogs I was considering adopting for more than 5 minutes before going into a sneezing convulsion.

When you’re in the beginning stages of adopting a pet, the choice can be nerve-wracking, and going to the shelter without a plan is like going to the grocery store on an empty stomach. You can search by breed, age, gender, and size, so you can easily narrow down to animals that are more likely to fit with your home and family.

While people with dogs often experience the greatest health benefits, a pet doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog or a cat. Taking care of an animal can also provide a sense of self-worth.

There are a few spectacles in the birding community that are high energy, happen quickly, and is worth any effort to experience it. One such experience is a bird grounding event, sometimes called a fallout. Birders explore these migrant traps, which are an oasis of food, water, and shelter, to see if anything has been blown in.

NEW JERSEY – Animal shelters are full, they have no space, they often have no money, and they have a small amount of dedicated volunteers. Many of these boarding animals are forgotten. There is an estimated 3-4million pets euthanized each year in US animal shelters. Will they get sick in the shelter?

The National Park is unusual because it offers very few facilities compared to most, but there is a sealed road right into the small car park and a shade shelter with a table and chairs and information about the park. No doubt the National Parks are aware of the situation, but it is also hard to deal with feral animals in remote areas.
