4 The Love Of Animals

OCTOBER 26, 2011

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.

I volunteer for a local animal rescue so I took the dog off her hands, but since this dog hasn’t had medical care, he can’t yet be housed in a shelter as it could put both him and the other animals at risk.

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.

The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized.

Many pet owners are able to enjoy their pets for the entire duration of the animal’s life. However, it becomes a problem for the animal when the owner decides that he can no longer keep the pet. For people who own dogs and other creatures, their recourse is to leave the animals in a shelter, pound or simply let them loose.

Before you get too keen on the idea, it is important to remember ducks and geese need adequate outside space, shelter and access to enough water to allow them to perform their natural water-related behaviours including preening. Adequate shelter from wind, rain and heat should also be provided for all ducks and geese.

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.

Owen County Friends of Animals (KY) is a non-profit organization that fosters and seeks adoptions for the dogs picked up by their local dog warden. Their shelter is full. He has been vetted and is healing nicely. Doesn't he look like my boy Charles ? He came to OCFA totally flea infested and with a few open wounds.

The vet supplied information on where the owners lived. Through our foundation and shelter we got surgery for little Chi that same day. The Vet said Chicharito was in too much pain and that he had to be fixed immediately. A few hours later, the Vet said Chicharito would be fine; the leg had healed so they just removed the plate.

In literature as well as life, the ideal is the safely rescued animal finds the perfect home and becomes the perfect pet. But when an animal is so damaged or developmentally challenged by its beginnings that it doesn’t accept its new situation; that can make for a difficult transition. This is but one rescue story.

When I designed my first website several years ago ( Aimee’s Animals ) the goal was to help animals find homes. The internet evolved, and this site was created with a bigger, better vision, but the goal remained the same… help animals find homes through promoting rescue groups.

Goats are intelligent and inquisitive animals with lots of character and energy. They are also social animals, so as well as enjoying your company, it’s important to keep at least two together so they have company all the time. It’s important to provide goats with a shelter to protect them from the elements.

Although I adore my own cats, I had not realized what an important role animals can play as life draws to a close. I’m calling animal control,” I said finally. The animal you’re calling about is a teacup poodle?” Two men from animal control arrived about an hour later. Not a standard?”. “No, No, he’s a teacup.”.

I asked when I called the shelter. My vet smiled when he met Rascal. My vet chuckled as he bent down to listen to her heart. The non profit animal shelter that had Rascal was run by a state trooper.
