Yes, us, AGAIN!!! We are Zeus and Perseus and we have been waiting forever, getting closer and closer to being in rescue a year already! We are a pair of adult male piggies and have gotten to enjoy life in several different foster homes. We are very handsome, but Perseus is also a little shy. We would like a home with lots of space to play and run as we are energetic young bucks.

What’s the problem?

to most children ages 1-10 who may unintentionally provoke them or cannot recognize “warning” behaviors.

For more stories visit: https://www.thln.org/

It’s that time of year again - back to school season! As our children head back into classrooms across Texas, there is an opportunity for them to learn critical information about staying safe and behaving kindly towards animals.

Thispageissponsorby:

Currently, there is a lack of formal education in Texas on how to safely interact with animals. This has led to growing problems of animal bites and scratches as well as the poor treatment of animals. While not all children will have a dog or cat at home, many interact with these animals on a regular basis. However, Texas does not provide education for kids on how to treat animals, leaving it up to family members, local nonprofits, or no one at all. This makes children vulnerable to dog bites and cat scratches, which can cause serious harm or even hospitalization.Fastfacts•Dogbiteshappen

Why should Texas provide a Humane Curriculum to third graders?

What can Texas do about it?

•For students who experience interpersonal violence or animal cruelty at home, a humane curriculum can interrupt the normalization of abuse and allow teachers to address concerning behaviors at an earlier age.

By adopting a third-grade humane curriculum, Texas can promote the safety of Texas children and increase classroom engagement in public school classrooms. It’s a win-win!

•Texas has one of the largest stray dog populations in the country.

Animals and the Law

By Stacy Sutton Kerby of the Texas Humane Legislation Network

• Providing a baseline knowledge of animal behavior and treatment promotes the safety of both children and animals.

Introducing a Humane Curriculum in Texas Public Schools

•Research has shown that humane education positively impacts classroom engagement, which can help overcome the learning loss stemming from COVID-19.

Under no circumstances should the dog be fearful of it's master and that is why most current methods of dog training focus on the positive aspects of the dogs actions and reward it for the good actions that it takes rather than punishing it for anything that it does wrong.

These positive training techniques are also great at retraining dogs that have consistently done something wrong, as they will quickly learn that the rewards for good actions are far greater than the attention they are seeking from their negative actions.

Dog training is all about building relationships

Dog training is all about building relationships.

If the owner assumes the position of the leader of the pack and the dog knows and respects that position then it will feel more secure and be a happier pet.

Dog Training: Tips By Ron Ducharme

Good dog training is all about building positive relationships where the dog has respect for it's owner and also where the dog realizes that the owner is the master and leader of the pack.

A well trained dog that respects it's master will always want to please, and that leads to a better-behaved dog both at home and when socializing with other dogs and people.

Even older dogs can be trained quite well by using these methods so a dog is certainly never too old to learn new tricks.

For the last three years Project K-9 Hero has been working on the K-9 Hero Act in coordination with Congressman Ron Wright and his office. Right now Project K-9 Hero, Congress, and the Senate are gathering support to take this bill to a vote.

The K-9 Hero Act was a vision we had at Project K-9 Hero and a vision our Founder, Jason Johnson, had over many years on how we can take funding from the federal government and help give that to non-profits to spend on medical bills for retired federal K-9s. This bill will allow for any military working dog or federal law enforcement K-9s to seek services through non-profits like Project K-9 Hero and allow us as an organization to take in grant money to spend specifically on medical bills for those Thisdogs.bill will allocate $5,000,000 of federal grant funds each fiscal year from 2021 through 2025.

The future of retired working dogs with respect to ownership and provision of medical services is often unclear and the medical treatment required by many former working dogs is significant enough that it creates a hardship for the individuals, often former partners, who take in these canine heroes. At Project K-9 Hero we set in to fill this gap. This bill will help us at Project K-9 Hero free up some of our other donations where we can help spend it on a deputy sheriff dog or a state police dog or a city dog. Not only does it impact our federal community but it will impact our local and state communities as well.

Jason Johnson states, “For me it’s a legacy as the Founder of Project K-9 Hero. I want to make sure that the work is being carried on for generations to come. It’s time our government take into consideration that if we’re going to use them and treat them like heroes when they’re on duty and during their service that we're going to treat them the same way in Weretirement.”encourage you to reach out to your Senator or Congressman to ask them to support H.R. 5081, The K-9 Hero Act. These heroes spent their entire careers protecting us. Now it’s our turn to protect them. ead the status of this bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5081/text

We are so grateful for the service of our nation’s retired Police K-9 and Military Working Dog Heroes that we want to honor them in retirement, and ensure the best quality of life for them, by providing assistance with medical costs, food and end of duty services. We rely on donors like you to fund our project, because there are no public funds for police and military working dogs. We are now working with Congress to change that with the K-9 Hero Act.

The mission isn’t just protect the dogs. Dog ownership requires a large amount of responsibility : food, water, and shelter. Public laws are in place to prevent dogs from going without but it is often overlooked and ignored. Cribs for Canines want owners to keep their dogs, and by providing them the means to take care of their dogs properly: they keep dogs in good homes, off of the streets, and out of the shelter.

Want to help? Donate

At the very start of 2019, a group of animal rescuers in Waco, TX set out on a mission to help members of the community to take better care of their backyard dogs. With no shelter, these dogs stood helplessly in the rain, bared the wind with no protection, and curled up in a ball in hopes of staying warm at night. They went out searching for used dog houses or igloo shelters, collected old blankets and straw, and gave them to the homeowner at no cost.

In a perfect world, every dog on the planet would be living in the comfort of their human’s home; snuggled up on the couch or snoring from their dog bed. However, this isn’t how things are at all. Our team members have witnessed the evil and harsh reality of what dogs endure in this cruel world. They are the voice for these helpless animals and at times also a savior. Our team is comprised of passionate souls that want nothing more than the welfare for the dogs in the community to be treated fairly, kindly, and at the very least humanly.

This act of kindness became a regular thing and within a matter of weeks, donations from various companies, individuals, and groups started pouring in…giving Cribs for Canines enough materials to make 200 dog houses. The intent was to place the houses throughout McLennan County, to dogs in need of shelter.

We are a 501c3 non profit organization working in Waco, Texas and the surrounding areas. Our efforts are divided between TNR and rescue because both are equally important to us. TNR helps maintain the community cat population while providing healthier and safer lives for the cats. By fixing community cats, the number of unwanted kittens needing to be rescued decreases. Which helps us and the community as a whole. However, we cannot fix them all and kittens are still needing our help. We accept kittens without mom, kittens with mom, and adult cats that are sick or injured. We fully vet each one from intake to adoption and while it is hard to say goodbye, we know they will thrive with their forever family. Being a rescue is challenging, but we believe it is our duty to help provide animals with everything they madisonbrookeohler@gmail.comneed.

Tall and elegant, the Azawakh is a West African sighthound who originates from the countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. The Azawakh has a short, fine coat which may come in any color or color combinations: red, clear sand to fawn, brindled, parti-color (which may be predominantly white), blue, black and brown. The head may have a black mask and there may be white markings on the legs, bib and at the tip of tail. There are no color or marking disqualifications in the breed. Befitting its heritage, the Azawakh excels as a companion, guardian and a lure courser in the United States. This ancient hunting hound is so lean and rangy that his bone structure and musculature can plainly be seen beneath his skin. The smooth S-shaped contours, deep chest, and aerodynamic head mark the Azwakh as a member of the sighthound family, canine sprinters that rely on keen vision and blazing speed to fix and course their prey. The ultrafine coat comes in several colors and patterns. The overall look of this leggy hound is one of elegance and fineness, but don't be fooled: This is a tough, durable hunter who's been chasing gazelle across the scorching sands of the Sahara for more than a thousand years.

We step up for Senior Dachshunds and those with severe medical needs. We also rescue young dachshunds. Our main purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home our dachshunds in forever homes to live their lives in a safe loving environment. We sometimes find ourselves providing loving arms and a safe foster home for the severely ill to live out their last days being loved and cherished, sadly all too often they are experiencing this love for the very first time.

Many of the dachshunds we get are abandoned in shelters because they can no longer provide their owners with healthy puppies to be sold. Or they have gotten old and are in need of medical attention so they are sent to the shelter for someone else to care for. All too often the only medical care they have ever had was their first shots as Somepuppies.ofthe Dachshunds who come to us are purebreds. They come to us in all shapes sizes and colors. If you are truly looking for a pet that wants nothing more then to please you and love you, then please consider adopting one of our seniors. They are full of love and ask for nothing more than to be loved in return.

Binti Jua was born in 1988 at the Columbus Zoo, which has one of the most successful gorilla breeding programs in the country. Her father, Sunshine, was from the San Francisco Zoo and her mother, Lulu, was from the Bronx Zoo. Binti's Aunt, Koko (Sunshine's older sister), lives at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, California. She is famous for her extensive knowledge of American Sign Language, which she uses to communicate with humans and her Gorilla-friend, Michael.

Binti Jua is the hero of the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. The 8-year-old western lowland gorilla rescued a 3-year-old child who climbed a railing and fell 18 feet into the zoo's exhibit. Zoo officials responded immediately, but it was Binti who got to the unconscious boy first and carried him to an area where the humans could attend to him. Her own 17-month-old baby, Koola, clutched her back throughout the incident.

Binti Jua by Nancy Nickerson as seen on this site https://myhero.com/binti

Binti Jua was hand-reared at the San Francisco Zoo. Hand-reared animals often lack the mothering skills they would have obtained in the wild, so in 1991 she was moved to Chicago to be trained for motherhood. Binti Jua seems to have learned her lessons well. The little boy Binti Jua saved spent 4 days in the hospital and was then released. Binti Jua's gentleness made her a hero.

IGCA Rescue, also known as Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation, is dedicated to helping Italian Greyhounds in need of our care We have a national network of VOLUNTEERS that make our mission possible We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and we rely on donations to keep the rescue machine running. As a foster-based Rescue, our volunteers and foster families are the foundation and most important aspect of our ability to do what we do without foster families we can't take in orphans that need our help. All of our IGs live as members of a family until their forever home comes along. They are all fully vetted and any medical issues are addressed and disclosed to potential adopters We are in need of more fosters! Please consider and reach out for more info! Our Mission - To find homes for rescued Italian Greyhounds and to educate the public on the care and training required by this breed.

WALLACE- Wallace is a sweet boy who has made amazing progress during his time in rescue. He came to us from a puppy mill and was terrified of everything. People were very scary and it took a couple of months before he would willingly let his foster mom pet him. Wallace has discovered the joy of toys and he has become more and more playful. He loves the other dogs in the house and will frequently be seen cuddling with them on a dog bed. While Wallace has made a lot of progress, he is still continuing to grow. When new or confusing situations themselves,presenthewill get scared and is unsure of how to react. He is looking for a patient and loving home to help him as he continues on his journey, and you will be rewarded with lots of love!

TAVISH-If you’re looking for a very loving, calm IG in his middle years, Tavish is your lad. Tavi (also known as Butterbean) is a charmer and whip-smart. He already knows commands/wordsmanyand learns more as his foster mom teaches him. Tavi loves a routine and finds it comforting to know what’s happening (and when) as regards to walks, potty breaks and feeding. This is partly the breed and also due to his blindness, caused by cataracts. Please don’t think of Tavi as a “special needs” dog; his foster mom believes he has been blind for quite awhile, since he’s very comfortable with his sight loss. He gets to know his home pretty quickly to make his way around and will zero in on your location when you say, “come!” and clap hands. He’s just a regular dog who happens to be blind.

Here are some of the medical benefits:

Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house. Once he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other animals. Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering. Spaying/neutering your pets is also highly cost-effective. The cost of your pet's spay/ neuter surgery is far less than the cost of having and caring for a litter.

Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they'll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!

Spay/Neuter Your Pet

Debunking Spay/Neuter Myths and Misconceptions

By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis. Millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (female pets) and neutering (male pets).

Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate Andproblems.behavioral benefits:

Spaying or neutering will not cause your pet to become overweight. Lack of exercise and overfeeding will cause your pet to pack on the extra pounds—not neutering. Your pet will remain fit and trim if you continue to provide exercise and monitor food intake. Neutering is not a quick fix for all behavior problems. Although neutering your pet often reduces undesirable behaviors caused by a higher level of testosterone, there’s no guarantee that your dog’s behavior will change after he’s neutered. Although the surgery will reduce the amount of testosterone in your dog’s system, it won’t eliminate the hormone completely. Neutering will also not reduce behaviors that your pet has learned or that have become habitual. The effects of neutering are largely dependent on your dog’s individual personality, physiology and history.

Prey was once the natural source of "dental floss" and teeth cleaning for dogs and cats. Today's diet of high quality canned and dried foods have extended our pet's lives however, they cannot provide the same level of dental hygiene. It begins with plaque which turns to tartar and quickly forms small pockets where an animal's gums meet its teeth. The gums can separate from the teeth allowing bacteria and food to collect. This build up leads to periodontal disease which in turn allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream leading to more serious health problems, including heart, lung and kidney disease if left untreated. Prevention is the key to managing dental disease. The American Animal Hospital Association Dental Care Guidelines recommends regular oral exams and dental cleanings under general anesthesia for all adult dogs and cats. The AAHA further recommends these procedures at least annually starting at one year of age for cats and small breed dogs and at two years of age for large breed dogs. Professional cleaning is the only way to effectively fight dental disease. Brushing your pet's teeth daily can be stressful for both you and your pet. We recommend feeding Hill's Prescription Diet t/d Dental Care dry food and for dogs, OraVet dental chews on a daily basis. These chews are the first and only chew to contain delmopinol, an exclusive ingredient that helps not only to clean teeth but, also leaves a protective barrier to help fight plaque and tartar. These products can help in the fight against dental disease but, nothing takes the place of regular professional dental cleaning.

Do not allow your pet access to food or water after 10pm the night before surgery. When your pet arrives at 7:30am they are taken to the treatment room where they can relax in their personal kennel with blankets. During this time they will have a physical exam to check their heart and lungs to make sure they sound healthy and will have blood work done if you have chosen to include it. The optional blood work is highly encouraged as it checks vital organs and blood counts to alert us to potential risks and issues. There is an a dditional charge for the blood work. When it is time for their cleaning to begin they will receive an injection to relax them. We place an IV catheter at this time, administer their anesthesia and attach the monitoring equipment that will be used throughout the procedure. This equipment monitors heart rate, ECG, temperature, respiration, and oxygen saturation. Your pet is monitored by a technician at all times during the dental.

Pet Dental Health Radiographs are taken and the veterinarian evaluates them. If any teeth need to removedbethat will be done at this time. The pet’s teeth are then scaled (cleaned) by a technician and the veterinarian examines the teeth and gums for pockets or otheranyabnormalities. The teeth are then polished and a fluoride treatment is Yourapplied.petwill receive a pain injection that lasts for 24 hours if any teeth were removed. They will also have pain meds to be given at home. Your pet will be closely monitored while they are waking up and during the day until they go home. At pick up the veterinarian will go over the dental procedures and answer any questions you may have. We ask that you feed them only small amounts of food and water that evening. It is not unusual for a pet to not want to eat the first night. They should be pretty much back to normal by the next day. Please give us a call with any questions or concerns.

Our PoundPupStoryand Friends Initiative - PPFI·Wednesday, January 22, 2020· PoundPup originated in 2010, when our founder went to the local “pound” to pick up Polly (that’s her stray photo from the shelter website). Polly was apparently deaf and blind, and had mange. Her prognosis did not seem to be very good, and shelter staff released her free of charge, in hopes that she may have a few good days in a loving home. Many medical treatments later, Polly emerged healthy and very spunky. This is when PoundPup and Friends founder, Liz Rainey, realized that with proper funding, we could probably save a lot more animals from going to the pound, or getting adopted out of the shelter. An idea was born, but lack of funding soon stopped the program. But the idea lingered in Liz’s head, and on August 17, 2017, she filed the necessary paperwork to get PoundPup and Friends Initiative formally registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We want to assist displaced, stray or unwanted pet animals in an effort to keep them out of shelters and avoid euthanasia or exposure to dangerous elements, human or Donationsnatural.canbesent

The staff at Pet Angels Cremation would like to express’s our deepest sympathies for your loss. We recognize that the love shared between a pet owner and a loyal pet is undeniable. In our opinion there is no better tribute to a fallen companion than to memorialize the love shared between an owner and pet through cremation. This allows pet owners to say goodbye to their four-legged companion in a dignified and loving way. We offer both Private and Simple Cremations, which are explained below.

that ashes that are returned are genuine. We use the Pet ID Tag system originally developed for human cremation. This Pet ID Tag can withstand temperatures exceeding 2800 degrees and will remain on your pet throughout the entire cremation process. What is Pet Cremation?

Cremation Options:

Private: This is a private cremation service where your pet’s remains are separated from others. The pet’s ashes are returned to the pet owner in a beautiful urn of their choice.

Tiny is from a litter of wolfdog puppies that I raised for someone. I ended up rescuing all of them. The two males were placed with a friend who is experienced with wolfdogs and they will never be used for breeding. The females ended up staying here at the sanctuary. Potential adopters all wanted to use them to produce puppies they could sell. Tiny was a teeny tiny runt. After her bottle she always fell asleep on my lap or shoulder. She was a feisty little girl and holds a very special place in our hearts. She was the first puppy to howl and it was an adorable teeny howl. Tiny and siblings are upper mid content wolfdogs. Her brothers DNA tests came back at 83 and 87 percent wolf content.

About Us Welcome to our sanctuary. We are a small sanctuary located in Grimes County, Texas. We have sanctuary animals that will live here for the rest of their lives. We will be doing educational programs at the sanctuary in the near future.

Atlas was a mostly feral wolfdog who had been running loose near Winnfield, Louisiana for close to two years after his family moved and left him there. We agreed to take him if he could be trapped. Our VP along with a wonderful woman who lived in Winnfield finally caught Atlas, but not until somebody shot him point blank in the face. He almost lost his life right when Trish was gaining his trust. His story is a particularly tragic one, but he will be forever safe with us. He is a fractured, broken soul and we love Atlas very much.

It is our mission to save and find homes for animals that are offered little to no chance. To help heal and find loving homes for breeds that have a bad reputation. We strive to make animals that are unhealthy and injured healthy and happy, to spay and neuter all in our care and fight heartworm disease for those that are positive and prevent it in those that are negative.

Want proof that microchips help reunite pets with their families? Meet Angel.

Angel is an Akbash/Pyrenees mix who went missing two and a half years ago. Her dog father, Doc Paulson, worked extra hard to prevent the gentle but cunning escape artist from finding her way out of the fence. But one day, she left and didn’t return. He called her microchip company, posted her online. He searched and searched and searched— all to no avail. In December of 2021, one of our volunteers. Susan Widaski notified our rescuers of a large white dog living in a wooded area in Woodway, TX. It had been there for months, being diligently fed by a gentleman close by. Unfortunately, the dog evaded Inrescue.January, rescuer Tammy Andrews set up a trap for the elusive giant. She taught the Good Samaritan techniques for enticing the pup to the trap with food. Finally on February 22nd, it was was trapped and secured by Stephanie Cobbs. Who than brought her to livestock guardian dog expert Gail Forrest! After a microchip scan, it was discovered the pup was Angel. Doc Paulson’s beloved missing fur baby. If Angel didn't have a microchip, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been reconnected with her family. The happy ending was tear filled and joyful! (Check out videos here: https:// permalink/3244701029106608/www.facebook.com/groups/hotlfp/

Dog adoption from Zoi's starts with a general application. The application is used to evaluation not only the basic requirements for one of our dogs, but it also is used to make sure that the dog you are interested in is ideal for you. Some of our dogs come from difficult situations and we want to make sure that your adoption experience is a great one. We are adopting out family members and prefer homes where the animal is in the home, we do not generally adopt to outdoor only homes unless a dog requires it. Access to a fenced yard is also preferred, but dog friendly apartments are common these days and will be dependent on the dogs personality. Once the application is submitted it will be reviewed and if accepted we will arrange for you to take the dog home.
