Protecting animals from heat is of utmost importance during hot weather. Ensure they have access to shade and cool areas, whether indoors or outdoors, to escape from the scorching sun. Always provide a fresh supply of cool water to keep them hydrated, and avoid walking them on hot surfaces that can burn their paws. Never leave animals unattended in parked vehicles, as temperatures inside can quickly become lifethreatening. Adjust exercise routines to cooler times of the day, and keep them engaged with indoor activities during peak heat hours. By being vigilant and compassionate, we can safeguard our beloved pets and wildlife from the dangers of heat and ensure their well-being throughout the summer months. ****Special thank you for walamrt Giving/Sam's Clube we received a grant to help with our Pet Adoption Extravaganza and our program next month we should have Picture.

Our GuideStar profile: https://www.guidestar.org/Profile/81-2377110# Our FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheAnimalCause Fundraiser: https://gofund.me/17836998 Our primary task is sharing shelter animals across social media so more people can see them and hopefully save them from euthanasia through fostering, rescuing, adopting, sponsoring or transporting them to start a new life.

Our belief is if all animal advocates come together to identify and prioritize issues/situations, etc. that expedited positive change can occur. We therefore do not compete with any other organization, group, company, etc. as there is plenty of work to go around.

Additionally we believe in and support animal shelter and animal welfare reform; via political engagement, and raising awareness; causing social and political change.

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.

Training Tips

By Ron Ducharme

Training your pet not to jump.

Teaching a dog not to jump is an essential part of their training, as jumping can be a nuisance and even dangerous, especially for large or energetic dogs. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you train your dog not to jump: *Be Consistent: Make sure everyone in your household is on board with the training and follows the same rules. Inconsistent responses to jumping can confuse the dog.

Ignore Jumping Behavior: When your dog jumps on you or others, avoid reacting to the jumping by not giving any attention, eye contact, or physical touch. Stand still, turn away, or cross your arms. This way, you are not reinforcing the jumping behavior.

Reward Calm Behavior: Instead of reinforcing jumping, reward your dog when they have all four paws on the ground. Praise and give treats when they greet people calmly.

Use Leash Training: If your dog is particularly enthusiastic about jumping, you can use a leash during greetings. This allows you to control their movement and prevent jumping until they've learned not to do it.

Train an Alternative Behavior: Teach your dog an alternative, more appropriate behavior to greet people, such as sitting. Ask your dog to sit before greeting them or have your guests toss treats on the ground for the dog to pick up instead of jumping.

Practice with Friends and Family: Invite friends and family to help you with the training. Ask them to follow the same rules of ignoring jumping and rewarding calm behavior. Be Patient and Consistent: Training takes time, and some dogs may take longer to learn than others. Be patient, consistent, and always reinforce positive behavior.

Avoid Punishment: Avoid yelling at or punishing your dog for jumping, as this can create fear and anxiety, and it won't effectively teach them the desired behavior.

Exercise and Mental Stimulation: Make sure your dog gets enough physical exercise and mental stimulation. A tired dog is less likely to have excessive energy and jump.

Seek Professional Help if Needed: If your dog continues to struggle with jumping despite consistent training, consider seeking help from a professional dog trainer or behaviorist.

Remember, training is about building a positive relationship with your dog and teaching them appropriate behavior through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.

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. 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 dogs.

This 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 retirement.”

We 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

UnChained: Empowering Youth and Homeless Dogs for a Brighter Future

By Marlo Botello-Aepli, Executive Director of UnChained As the Executive Director of UnChained, I am proud to share the impactful work we do in California's Central Coast region. Although we may seem far away from this Central Texas-based magazine, I was born in Lubbock and raised in Austin, so I feel a special connection to Rescue Mag and their mission.

UnChained is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that brings together youth and homeless dogs, providing a unique opportunity for personal growth, empathy, and skill development. Our mission is to empower youth while training and finding permanent homes for homeless dogs, fostering self-reflection, compassion, and valuable life skills among our participants.

I first got involved with Unchained when I adopted our dog Roland, who graduated from the program. I fell in love with the mission and started volunteering with them. This quickly moved to sitting on the board to become more involved. Seeing the kids and dogs grow in skills and transform over the eight weeks is heartwarming and impactfull to our communities.

UnChained operates in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Santa Clara Counties in Northern California, teaching youth how to train homeless dogs in basic skills, manners, and socialization. Since our founding in 2011, we have worked with youth at the Rancho Cielo Youth Campus in Salinas, where we found adopters for our first three homeless dogs with the help of six remarkable youth. Today, our programs have expanded to serve communities from Monterey to San Jose, California.

Training homeless dogs who have experienced neglect, abandonment, or abuse serves as a powerful catalyst for youth development. By working with these dogs, our youth trainers cultivate empathy, compassion, and an improved sense of self-worth. The shared experiences of the youth and dogs create a deep connection that positively impacts their well-being and personal growth. Our youth trainers often express pride in their accomplishments and report an increase in patience and resilience.

UnChained's programs create a ripple effect within our communities. When youth actively participate in resolving community problems, such as training homeless dogs and navigating the challenges that arise, they develop a sense of purpose and belonging. By becoming part of the solution, they gain confidence and experience success, transforming into more engaged and contributing members of their communities.

Many of our graduates become volunteers within their own communities and schools, applying the skills and values they acquired through UnChained. Some even return to our organization as volunteers, supporting current students and sharing their experiences as mentors.

This cycle of support and mentorship demonstrates the lasting impact UnChained has on the lives of our youth.

Join Us in Making a Difference You can be a part of the solution by getting involved with UnChained today. Your contribution will directly support our efforts to empower youth and find loving homes for homeless dogs. Together, we can continue fostering empathy, compassion, and personal growth, creating a brighter future for both our youth and the dogs they help.

On April 10th, HOTLFP/C4C, alongside Bellmead Animal Control Officer Randi, the local fire department, a local veterinarian, and many volunteers and vendors, served Bellmead families and their beloved dogs at the second annual Bellmead Family Dog Day! The event provided low cost vaccines and HOTLFP/C4C microchipped over 90 dogs for free, helping increase their chances of a safe/successful reunion if they’re ever lost. The event had lots of fun activities for humans too: activities, games, food, and more. We’re looking forward to the event next year, and upcoming microchipping events in other parts of Central Texas!

We could use help restocking our microchip supply: if you’re interested in donating microchips, please contact us at CRIBS4CANINES@GMAIL.COM

In April, Heart of Texas Lost and Found Pets/Cribs 4 Canines teamed up with the city of Bellmead (near Waco), at Bellmead Family Dog Day to hold a free microchipping event.

In the heat of the day, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier was brought to the HOTLFP/C4C pavilion to be scanned for a microchip. Randi Winget, Bellmead animal control officer, stated that he was handed to her as a found dog.

This little nugget was extremely skinny and appeared to be unstable. Michelle Ann, Vice President of HOTLFP/C4C, scanned him and no microchip was found.

After being posted to multiple lost and found pet groups on Facebook, with no response from an owner, another board member, Tammy Andrews, took him home to foster until an owner could be found.

When no owner claimed him, the Yorkie, now named Walter, was accepted into Gray Mutts Rescue, where he received all needed medical care and vaccinations, and with the help of his foster home, flourished into the cutest, debonair little boy. Walter was recently adopted into a new family that is crazy about him.

Thank goodness his path was lined in gold bricks; we are thankful HOTLFP/ C4C helped get him to safety that day, and for the generosity of his foster and Gray Mutts Rescue! Happy tails Walter!

Fixin' Ferals TNR and Rescue https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073692554041

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 need. madisonbrookeohler@gmail.com

Dog Breed:

https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/germanshepherd-dog/

HEIGHT 24-26 inches (male) 22-24 inches (female) Weight 65-90 Male 50-70 Female Life span 7-10 years

About the Breed Generally considered dogkind's finest all-purpose worker, the German Shepherd Dog is a large, agile, muscular dog of noble character and high intelligence. Loyal, confident, courageous, and steady, the German Shepherd is truly a dog lover's delight. German Shepherd Dogs can stand as high as 26 inches at the shoulder and, when viewed in outline, presents a picture of smooth, graceful curves rather than angles. The natural gait is a free-and-easy trot, but they can turn it up a notch or two and reach great speeds. There are many reasons why German Shepherds stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherds will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a 'certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.'

GetALong Dachshund rescue is a Dachshund rescue serving Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. 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.

Temple TX Call us at 254-771-9090

www.petangelstx.com

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 puppies.

Some of the 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.

BARI- Bari’s estimated birthday is 8/19/12, a very slim 11 lb, handsome reddish tan boy with white markings, he is fostering with IGCA Rescue North Texas.

Bari is a special needs puppy mill rescue still working hard on socialization, human trust and physical attention. Everyone who spends time with Bari grows to love him. The happy dance he does, when he knows he is going outside, and his frolic through the yard as he runs back to the door is joyful to watch. He fits in beautifully with a group of dogs as he is easy and demands no attention causing jealousy. He prefers his kennel and a comfortable bed to toys and attention.

Do you and your pets have a place in your home and hearts to become Bari’s forever family?

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 many commands/words and 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.

EMMA ROSE- I'm a chill girl just looking for someone to snuggle with. I love laying outside in the grass just soaking up the sun and am very comfortable with using a supervised doggie door. I'm patient with my hyper foster sister and have never had a single issue with food aggression, even when foster sister tries to steal my treats! Emma Rose has been diagnosed with bladder cancer.

She is currently symptom free (we found the mass by chance, during a routine vet visit) and has started treatment. At this time she is expected to have a good quality of life for at least the coming year, if not longer.

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 present themselves, he will 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!

Spay/Neuter Your Pet

as seen at:https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-petcare/spayneuter-your-pet

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).

Here are some of the medical benefits: 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 problems.

And behavioral benefits: 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!

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.

Debunking Spay/Neuter Myths and Misconceptions 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.

(Hollywood, CA) -- POPOVICH: Road to Hollywood, a film directed and produced by Gregory Popovich, makes its’ world premiere at the prestigious Los Angeles film festival, DWF: LA Dances with Films on September 5 at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The film also stars Gregory Popovich, Robin Slonina, Shannon Calcutt, Voki Kalfayan, Jimmy Slonina, and a handful of rescued dogs and cats. In addition to its’ world premiere at DWF: LA, the film will be distributed by Random Media and the deal was brokered by Sebastian Twardosz of Savant Artists. Twardosz also serves as a producer on the comedy.

Road to Hollywood is about a fired circus clown and his journey from ob scurity to fame and fortune. It is truly a tale about how anyone, no matter how desperate and difficult their circumstances may be, can achieve their dreams. With hard work and an unwavering belief in your destiny, you can find success. This message of hope and determination is wrapped in a package of nonstop action, family-friendly comedy, and a bevy of circus stunts and tricks sure to dazzle and charm audiences of all ages but especially kids. It is a fun-filled, fast-paced comedy extravaganza, and a modern take on slapstick comedy. Not many actors have the ability to capture the true essence of classic physical comedy in modern times like Gregory Popovich, who has headlined his own show, the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort, and Casino at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip for over a decade.

Most recently the film won “Best Family Feature” at the Calcutta Film Festival, and an “Official Selection” at film festivals in Tokyo, Nice, and Milan. Every animal performer in the film is one of Mr. Popovich's personal pets. All of them have been adopted and rescued from shelters and have been lovingly trained using only positive reinforcement.

Mr. Popovich is the only entertainer from the Soviet Union to have performed for so many of the major players of American late-night TV, including the likes of Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Craig Ferguson. He also made it to the finals of NBC-TV’s "America's Got Talent". Combined, over 100 million viewers have seen Mr.Popovich perform.

“This film is a culmination of my life's work in entertainment. Following in the tradition of the great masters of slapstick physical comedy such as Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, and The Three Stooges, the movie recaptures some of that forgotten, laugh-a-minute magic for a modern audience. I have used my expertise as a live performer on the stage and in the circus to create a unique comedic vision for the silver screen.” explains Popovich.

About Mid-Cities Community Cats is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the cats that live in our neighborhoods. Through education and direct assistance, we help residents to TNVR the cats in their area, which in turn helps the local shelters and other surrounding residents. The benefits for property and homeowners who have community cats include: A cat that has been TNVR’d will not longer produce unwanted kittens Cats will be vaccinated for rabies, providing protection for both these cats and others that might come in contact with them Spayed/neutered cats will be less inclined to “spray”/mark territory or fight A controlled cat colony keeps other cats from moving into the area, avoiding the “vacuum effect” These outdoor cats can help control the pest population, including mice, rats and snakes By preventing additional reproduction, the number of cats who enter the local shelters is reduced, which in turn saves taxpayer dollars from being used for euthanasia

OUR MISSION

New Favorite Day was founded in 2020 to fill an unaddressed need in Rains County, TX. Rains County, the 4th smallest county in Texas, has no animal control, no intention of providing government assistance, and an intense stray and unwanted animal population. We work closely with fellow rescues in our county to help find unwanted pets homes (in Texas and other states alike), keep our citizens safe, and raise each other up.

Our goal is to have a central location in Rains County to provide pet resources to allow owners to keep their pets, locate lost & found pets, and give unwanted pets a loving temporary home until their forever home finds them.

Protecting Our Beloved Pets from Heat Stroke This Time of Year

By Ronald Ducharme (this is not medical advice seek help from a medical professional)

As the temperature rises and summer approaches, it is crucial to address the significant concern of heat stroke in our beloved animal companions. Animal heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that can affect dogs, cats, and other pets, leading to severe consequences if not recognized and addressed promptly. As responsible pet owners and animal lovers, we must take proactive measures to protect our furry friends from the dangers of overheating during this time of year.

Recognizing the Symptoms: Heat stroke occurs when an animal's body temperature rises rapidly and exceeds their ability to cool down through normal processes such as panting. It is vital to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stroke, including excessive panting, drooling, rapid or irregular heartbeat, weakness, vomiting, seizures, and collapse. Animals with shorter snouts, such as bulldogs and pugs, are particularly susceptible to heat stroke due to their limited ability to cool themselves.

Prevention is the best defense against heat stroke. Here are some key steps that every pet owner should take to protect their furry companions during hot weather: Hydration: Ensure that your pets have access to fresh and cool water at all times.

Consider placing multiple water bowls around the house or yard to encourage regular hydration. Shelter and Shade: Create a comfortable and shaded area

where your pets can seek refuge from the sun's intense heat. This could be a

covered porch, a well-ventilated room, or even a pet-friendly sunshade in the yard. Time and Exercise Management: Avoid prolonged outdoor activities

during the hottest parts of the day. Schedule walks and playtime sessions for c ooler times, such as early morning or late evening.

Never Leave Pets in Vehicles!!!!!!!!!: Never leave your pets unattended in a parked car, even with the windows cracked. Cars can quickly turn into death traps, with temperatures rising to dangerous levels within minutes.

Exercise Caution with Pavement: Remember that pavement

and asphalt can become scorching hot under the sun. Test the surface with the back of your hand before taking your pet for a walk to prevent burns to their paws.

Cooling Measures: Provide ways for your pets to cool down, such as placing damp towels or cooling mats for them to lie on. You can also use fans or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Alongside personal responsibility, community education plays a crucial role in preventing animal heat stroke. Local authorities, animal welfare organizations, and veterinary clinics should join forces to raise awareness about the dangers of heat stroke and the preventive measures that can save lives. This can be done through public service announcements, social media campaigns, educational pamphlets, and community events.As the summer heat approaches, we must prioritize the safety and well-being of our furry friends by taking proactive measures to prevent heat stroke. By recognizing the signs, implementing preventive strategies, and educating our community, we can ensure that our beloved pets stay cool, comfortable, and healthy during the hot months. Let us come together as responsible pet owners and advocates to protect our animals from the perils of heat stroke and make this summer a safe and enjoyable season for them all.

Our Story PoundPup and 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 natural.

Happy New Year!

2012 is going to be a wonderful year for animals in San Antonio. You may be aware already that the Austin city shelter has gotten to a greater than 90% save rate due largely to the efforts of Austin Pets Alive!

The great news is that San Antonio Pets Alive! has already been formed to make San Antonio a No Kill City with an estimated life-saving launch date of 1/19/2012. This new organization will use best practices from many different cities to get to a No Kill San Antonio as fast as possible - which would make us the largest U.S. city to be No Kill!

The world has long believed that there are not enough homes for the pets killed in shelters but according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are over 100,000 homes available to new pets in San Antonio each year. If we convince just 20% of those homes, through marketing, awareness, and adoption events to adopt a shelter pet instead of purchasing a pet, enough animals will be saved to make San Antonio a No Kill City (where only terminally ill or dangerous animals are euthanized).

Currently, the city of San Antonio euthanizes

over 18,000 animals per year, or around 50/day.

This is a crisis that needs immediate attention.

SAPA will have a laser-like focus on the dogs and cats who are literally hours from euthanasia, and will provide temporary and emergency foster homes, medical aid, and adoption services to make sure they survive. Our first priority will be to save every single puppy and then move on to saving every single kitten, then on to the adults who end up on the euthanasia list.

Just like every animal ends up in the shelter through the action of one person, we need for every animal to get out of the shelter alive through the action of individuals like you who all step up to help. It is going to take the San Antonio community to help make this a success! Let’s all make a New Year’s Resolution to save our San Antonio animals!

San Antonio Pets Alive’s success will be possible because of YOUR thoughtful contributions (time and money). Because only by working together can we reach a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. Your tax-deductible gift will give hope and a loving home to San Antonio’s animals. Please don’t delay. I urge you to give

your most generous gift now so that we can rescue animals that are currently in danger of euthanasia and help re-home them in the new year!

Thank you and bless you for your kindness In partnership and excitement Dr Ellen Jefferson Executive Director

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year in the United States. However, this number has decreased significantly over the past decade thanks to increased public awareness, spay/neuter programs, and adoption efforts.

To the thousands of animals put down we remember you and will always fight to save those who need a home... ADOPT DON'T SHOP, SPAY OR NEUTER AND MICRO CHIP PLEASE...

Services Complete Care: From the moment that your pet enters our care, we adhere to the strict guidelines and standards set for by the International Association of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories.

Pet Angels guarantees 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?

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.

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. Also included in a private cremation is our Essential Remembrance Package.

Simple: This is a “group” cremation where several pet companions are placed into the chamber together.

There is no ash return with simple cremations. We will dispose of the pet’s ashes in a beautiful setting never to be disturbed.

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.

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.

Heart Of Texas Lost & Found 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 rescue.

In 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:// www.facebook.com/groups/hotlfp/ permalink/3244701029106608/)

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.
