If You Need Help Finding A Dog or Cat A Home
PLEASE READ THE 'AVOID FOR THE LOVE OF DOG' SECTION BELOW.
Send an email to as many rescues as possible. There are many rescues found here, but you can find more by searching online, i.e. Goodsearch, Bing, Petfinder, as well as the Pet Guardian Angels of America site.
Information to include in your email asking for assistance:
1) Subject line needs to have size, breed guess, location (area, city, state, etc); the fewer words, the better since your email will have lots of FWDs in front of the subject after it has been forwarded numerous times.
2) Put your contact information (name, email, phone number, location). Many times when forwarded, your info may be cut off the bottom or hard to locate.
3) Describe the pet. Include the [approximate] age, size/weight, coloring, and your best-guess of breed.
4) Include a photo either attached or inserted within the first 4 lines of the email.
4) Include a photo either attached or inserted within the first 4 lines of the email.
5) Put the date you are sending the email request, as well as the date you found the animal. This is important since your email [hopefully] will be forwarded indefinitely.
6) Tell about the pet's temperament. Include whether it's good with cats, dogs, babies, children, men, women. Is the animal shy with everyone? Shy with strangers only? Friendly to everyone?
7) Provide background info, i.e. where found, why you are rehoming your pet.
8) Tell whether the pet is house trained and/or crate trained. Where does it spend the day? Where does it sleep at night?
9) List any vetting that has been done, i.e. vaccinations (rabies, distemper, parvo, parainfluenza, bordetella). Is it spayed/neutered. Has it been tested for heartworms? Is it current on heartworm prevention? On flea/tick prevention?
10) List any skin issues, i.e. bald spots, rashes, bites, cuts.
11) List any known injuries, i.e. limping, broken bones.
12) Provide a reasonable time frame. Anything less than a week isn't realistic. 4-6 weeks is a good timeframe. Add a few weeks for older dogs.
13) If you can make a donation, include it in your email.
14) Put your contact information again at the bottom with a note asking people to crosspost/forward to people who can help.
And last but not least...when contacting rescues to help a dog in need:
*Ask for veterinary references, (and call them).
*Ask about the application process: do they require home visits, veterinary reference checks, spay/neuter, full vaccines, and microchips?
*Visit the premises if you're able.
*Ask about the application process: do they require home visits, veterinary reference checks, spay/neuter, full vaccines, and microchips?
*Visit the premises if you're able.
Why Should I Spay Or Neuter My Pet?
This question is raised many times by people who are unfamiliar with the overpopulation of pets.
Our cats and dogs can't add or subtract, but they sure can multiply. What? Read these statistics. We hope you'll not only catch on but also share the information with others so they too will know how important it is to spay and neuter dogs and cats as well pet bunnies.
Each year, more than 12 million healthy dogs and cats are killed in the U.S. simply because there are not enough homes and families to adopt them.
Over one quarter of the animals killed annually are purebreds.
Seven puppies and kittens are born for every human, so there can never be enough good homes for all of the unwanted, unplanned puppies and kittens. And more puppies and kittens are born everyday.
One female cat and her offspring can produce over 420,000 cats in seven years.
One dog and her offspring can produce over 67,000 dogs in six years.
Only 14% of people get their pets from shelters. Many healthy, loving, & great dogs and cats never get a chance at a great home.
Here are some benefits for fixing your pet:

*Your pet will be healthier and less likely to develop certain cancers, as well as avoid possible injuries from fighting.
*You will help all animals by not adding to the pet population explosion.
Our pets are dying for you to spay and neuter!
It stops the killing!
Please do your part to stop unnecessary deaths of healthy companion animals due to overcrowding in our shelters and a lack of homes. Even to save an animal here by getting it into a rescue up North, there has to be a foster home. And there are never enough foster homes!

There are individuals who will take in dogs needing to be rehomed for a small donation only to then take the dogs for intake at Metro Animal Care & Control. Even if the dog is a Pit Bull mix, which means the dog will be euthanized at Animal Control, they still will be taken there for intake. If the dogs are rehomed, typically there is no regard for the adopter's intentions, i.e. using them as bait dogs to train fighting dogs. While everyone deserves a chance, please be very cautious when giving away your dog, whether it is to a family or to a rescue. Ask questions and email others to inquire about the legitimacy of unknown rescues. If it seems too good to be true, chances are it is too good to be true, which can equal anything from humane euthanasia to a brutal & horrific death.

Tips on Looking for Lost Animals
Don't waste time! Get a couple people to work in an organized way simultaneously. In the first two hours, ask family and friends to search around town and up to a two-mile radius of the location where the dog was last seen. Create business-card sized flyers to hand out so that your information is readily available and easy to share. Use free services such as OliverAlert.com which is a collection of advice and best practices for when you have lost or found a beloved pet. You can also use PetMetric.com or Oliver Alert on Facebook to help get a virtual search started immediately in your geographical area as well. Tell any children you see that you are looking for a dog and posters will be up tomorrow with your phone number. However, keep in mind that many children have been warned that this is a trick used by potential kidnappers and kids may become frightened.
Bring along your dog's favorite toy, or another noise that makes him come running. Dogs can hear sounds from very far away and may come if they hear a comforting sound! Shaking a treat bag or something else a dog knows means food can help, too.
While you're out searching, have someone else make phone calls to your local Humane Society, animal shelters, rescues, vets, and police departments. Contact your neighbors to be on the lookout. If you're close to a county line, contact similar places in that county, too. If your local TV and radio stations make community announcements, ask them for help. Notify the local pounds and shelters. If someone does find a dog and brings it there, they will know to reach you. If they do say they have a dog that matches, make sure to visit yourself, and don't call off the search until you're sure it's yours. Their description and yours can easily vary.
Same evening after it's too dark to search any more: Create an ad with a recent picture of your dog. If you don't have a photo, and your dog is a purebred, use a picture from a book. Describe the dog so an average person would recognize him if he saw him. Include identifying information about him like his collar, dog tags, tattoo, identifying features like scars or unusual colorations, or microchip ID number.
Be specific: "LOST: (Dog's Name) a brown dog with white face and paws, SPAYED female; 60#, got loose from yard on Dec. 1, 2005 (Location where lost) near the post office in Our Town, PA around 4 p.m. Wearing a pink collar with rabies tag and license. Is on anti-seizure medication. Family pet. REWARD. Call (610) 555-0000." "Family pet" tends to motivate people to look. Advertising it as a "show dog," "breeding dog," "therapy dog," or "search and rescue dog" is not a good idea. Too much disclosure is not always the best policy in these matters. A reward tends to motivate people. However, don't state an amount. If you make the reward too large, like $5000, people will wonder about the dog's value and some people may not want to return your pet. Always say a female is spayed, whether she is or not. Again, this is to protect the dog from the unscrupulous who might see a breeding opportunity. The same logic applies to a medical problem or genetic defect. People will be less likely to think of breeding a dog that could be perceived as valuable if they think it has a medical problem. That gives an urgency to the ad, too.
If the dog is friendly, say "Please try and coax her into your garage or fenced yard and call us." If the dog is not friendly or could be a fear biter say, "Don't attempt to corner her. Simply call us with her location ASAP." It is a good idea to make a few copies of flyers in different languages, like Spanish or French, especially if you live in an area with people of many different backgrounds.
Intensify the search. Make at least 200 photocopies of your ad. Printer ink runs in rain; photocopier toner won't. Start posting on bulletin boards and in high visibility areas like gas stations and grocery stores in your neighborhood. Tape flyers to phone poles (in many places, it is illegal and unsafe to use staples because it's a danger to pole men). Ask friends and family members to distribute flyers door-to-door. Be sure to put extra fliers around that playground, or notify the owners of that dog park.
Take "found" calls with a grain of salt. At this devastating time, you are vulnerable and there are unethical people who may try to take advantage. If someone calls and describes your dog from your ad and says, "I've got your dog here," respond, "Does she have a black mark inside her right leg?" and they say, "She sure does" and your dog doesn't, hang up quickly. You don't want to deal with such people. If they say, "No, she doesn't" and you think it could be your dog, simply say you made a mistake, that's another dog you've seen before.
If someone tries to blackmail you into a higher reward before returning your dog, try to make sure they have the right dog (or any dog at all) and ask the person to meet you in a public place. Then go with another person to meet them. Don't be taken advantage of. If it is your dog, offer a token reward.
Recent scams include people calling for out-of-state airfare for your lost dog. They might say your dog has been stolen and dumped far from home and they found him 200 miles away. Don't fall for it.
After 2 days: Extend your search. Go a little farther by vehicle and start spreading the word to your local mailmen, UPS and Fed Ex drivers, joggers, runners, bikers and anyone else walking around the search areas.
Drop off or fax a copy of your ad to area shelters.
Expand the radius of your search area by several miles - call shelters even beyond the area you think your dog could have reached.
Visit the animal shelters and rescue leagues to look for your pet every other day. Don't expect volunteers to recognize one brown dog from another. If the dog is a dirty, matted mess that lost weight, you may have trouble identifying your own pet. Ask if there is a quarantine area or an area where injured animals are kept in case your dog is separated from those shown to the public.
Check the "found" ads in they newspaper each day your pet is lost.
Stay positive. Dogs have been re-united with their owners even after a year or more. Keep going back to the shelters showing pictures of your dog.
Never respond to a found pet claim alone. Take a friend and ask to meet in a public place such as the park. Don't say to meet at your house. Then the people who found your dog (who could be very creepy by the way, you never know,) will then know where you live. You don't want that. Meet in a public place such as a park or a gas station

D.I.Y. Make your own Canine First Aid Kit
By Elizabeth Kemp
By Elizabeth Kemp
Gearing up for a road trip down the coast or just heading to the beach for the day? Take your cue from the Girl Scouts and always be prepared with a custom First Aid Kit for your furry friend. We packed ours in an old Snoopy lunch box, but any durable, preferably waterproof, case will do. If your dog is into extreme water sports, consider using a dry bag, available at most outdoor sports stores such as Mountain Equipment Co-op.
The following are the basics for a standard doggie kit. Keep in mind not everything that works on humans is suitable for Rover and never administer human drugs or prescriptions to your dog without first checking with your vet.
Furry Friend First Aid Kit:
1. A dog first aid book. We like The First Aid Companion for Dogs and Cats (Amy D. Shojai, Rodale, 2001). It’s a little hefty but it covers everything from allergic reactions to removing wax from fur.
2. Latex gloves
3. Emergency contact numbers. The digits for your vet, the closest animal emergency hospital, and the poison control hotline.
4. Tweezers (flat slant tip) and Scissors (dull ended). Avoid pointed ends lest you do more damage than good.
5. Special tweezers for tick removal. These are designed to remove the imbedded head, which, if left in, can lead to infection.
6. Cotton balls
7. Gauze Pads, Squares and Roll. For wounds—sticky bandages don’t work so well on fur.
8. Disinfectant, such as Hibitane.
9. Wound cream. To speed healing and minimize scarring try a product such as CanineAid, a soothing cream that eases discomfort and can be used on cuts, wounds, and irritations. (epicareltd.com)
10. Saline solution. Can be used to clean wounds or flush sand out of eyes. Contact solution will work in a pinch.
11. Antihistamine. May be used to calm itchiness, swelling, and hives caused by bee stings or insect bites but, as with any medication, please consult a vet first as dosage will vary depending on your pup’s size.
12. Hydrogen Peroxide. While this is not recommended to clean wounds, it can be used to induce vomiting in case of accidental ingestion. Check with your vet before administering; in some circumstances vomiting may not be encouraged.
13. Bulb Syringe or Small Turkey Baster. Use to flush wounds or eyes or for administering medicine.
14. Antibacterial Wipes or skin soap.
15. Skin & Paw Cream. I love Bag Balm—it works on my feet as well as Rover’s! (bagbalm.com)
16. Rectal Thermometer. A dog’s average temperature is 38°C or 101°F.
17. Petroleum Jelly. For use with the above. Just trying to be considerate.
It’s also useful to have an old blanket and some towels with you when traveling, as well as a second lead, some extra dog food, a flashlight, and matches. I’m the kind of girl who knows where all the exits are, as well as the lifejacket-to-passenger ratio, so this list could go on, but the above basics should have you covered until you can seek professional medical assistance. Safe travels!
