Crisis! Shelters are full. Animal lovers, we have a problem. Our shelters are overflowing with dogs and cats who need loving homes. This is not a new issue, but it has been worsened by the pandemic and its economic fallout. Many people have lost their jobs, their homes, or their ability to afford pet care. Some have had to surrender their furry friends to shelters that are already struggling to cope with the demand. Others have been unable to spay or neuter their pets, leading to more unwanted litters. And some have simply abandoned their animals on the streets, hoping someone else will take care of them.

Our client family has some paw-sitive things to say about Casa McKibben It was so nice to feel like our dogs had the best of care. Mark lives for this, it's evident when you meet him ...

Such a blessing to know that we have somewhere safe and fun for our dogs to stay when we need it.

Mark is absolutely committed to helping all dogs and will go the extra mile to do his best, no matter how ''crazy'' the dog is. We made a new friend and now have a great dog trainer to go to!

Our high maintenance elderly basset hound had a really great experience.

They were really good about giving him his medicine and love. They went way above and beyond and built him a custom ramp to get up and down the stairs.

Animal Shelters Need Your Help: How You Can Make a Difference By Ron Ducharme

If you are an animal lover, you may have heard that many animal shelters across Central Texas are facing a

crisis. They are overcrowded with pets, especially dogs, that need loving homes. But why is this happening, and what can you do to help?

The Causes of the Crisis There are several factors that contribute to the problem of shelter overcrowding. Some of them are:

The pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of life, including veterinary services, spay and neuter programs, and adoption events. This resulted in more animals being born, fewer animals being sterilized, and fewer animals finding homes. According to Shelter Animals Count, a national database of shelter statistics, the U.S. shelter population grew by nearly a quarter-million animals in 20231.

The economy. The pandemic also caused economic hardship for many people, who lost their jobs, income, or housing. Some pet owners had to surrender their animals to shelters because they could not afford to care for them, or because they had to move to places that did not allow pets. It is so bad now that several shelters are several months out before you can surrender your animal.

The breed. Some shelters have a disproportionate number of large dogs, especially pit bulls and other bully breeds, that are harder to adopt out. These dogs often face discrimination, stigma, and breed-specific legislation that limit their options. Some people also have unrealistic expectations or lack of knowledge about the needs and behavior of certain breeds, and end up returning them to shelters.

The Consequences of the Crisis

The overcrowding of shelters has negative impacts on both the animals and the people who care for them.

Some of them are: The stress. Living in a shelter can be stressful for animals, who are exposed to noise, unfamiliar smells, and constant changes. Stress can affect their health, behavior, and temperament, making them less adoptable. It can also lead to aggression, depression, or illness among shelter animals.

The euthanasia. Many shelters are forced to euthanize animals that they cannot accommodate or adopt out, due to lack of space, resources, or time. This is a heartbreaking decision for shelter staff and volunteers, who have to end the lives of healthy and innocent animals. Euthanasia also costs money and emotional toll on the shelter workers.

The Solutions to the Crisis The situation may seem hopeless, but there are ways that you can help alleviate the problem and save lives.

Some of them are: Adopt. If you are looking for a new furry friend, consider adopting from a shelter instead of buying from a breeder or a pet store. You will not only give a home to an animal in need, but also free up space and resources for another animal in the shelter.

Foster. If you are not ready or able to adopt, you can still help by fostering an animal temporarily. Fostering means providing a safe and comfortable environment for an animal until they find their forever home.

Fostering can benefit both the animal and the foster parent, as it reduces the stress and improves the health and behavior of the animal, and provides joy and companionship to the foster parent.

Donate. If you cannot adopt or foster, you can still support your local shelter by donating money, supplies, or time.

The Conclusion Animal shelters are full of pets that need your help. By adopting, fostering, or donating, you can make a difference in their lives, and in yours. You can also help by spaying or neutering your own pets, educating yourself and others about responsible pet ownership, and advocating for animal welfare.

Together, we can end the crisis of shelter overcrowding, and create a better world for animals and people.

Animals and the Law

The state law: This page is sponsor by:

https://www.thln.org/

In 2025, THLN plans to support a bill that will help put an end to cruel puppy mill practices and protect both pets and consumers by requiring that only healthy animals sourced from shelters and rescues be sold in retail pet stores. Currently, many retail pet stores source their puppies and kittens from unscrupulous, out-ofstate puppy mills.

Out-of-state puppy mills store puppies in poor conditions, take them away from their moms too soon, and truck them hundreds or thousands of miles across the country to be sold in retail pet stores and there‛s a reason why only one of the top 25 retailers still sells dogs from these conditions. This year alone, Dallas, Houston, and New Braunfels passed humane pet store ordinances, demonstrating the need and support for a statewide law. While 17 cities across Texas have passed retail pet store ordinances, millions of Texans are still vulnerable to the deceptive business practices used to sell puppies sourced from inhumane puppy mills.

All Texans deserve to be protected from buying sick, defective puppies.

During the 2023 legislative session, the bill received huge bipartisan support but ultimately couldn‛t get past the finish line before the session ended.

Training Tips

By Ron Ducharme

Stopping the mess in the house

How to Train a Dog Not to Mess in the House Dogs are wonderful companions, but they can also be messy if they are not properly trained. If your dog is pooping or peeing in the house, you may feel frustrated and wonder how to stop this behavior. Fortunately, there are some effective methods that can help you teach your dog where to do his business. Here are some tips on how to train a dog not to mess in the house.

1. Choose a method of house-training. There are different ways to housetrain a dog, depending on your preference and your dog's personality. Some of the most common methods are: - Crate training: This method involves using a crate that is just large enough for your dog to lie down and turn around. Dogs do not like to soil their beds, so they will learn to hold their bladder and bowels until you take them outside. You should crate your dog whenever you cannot watch him, such as when you are cooking, working, or sleeping. You should also take your dog outside first thing in the morning, as soon as you get home, and before you go to bed. Praise your dog when he eliminates outside and give him a treat. Do not use the crate as a punishment or leave your dog in it for too long. [^1^][3] - Paper training: This method involves using papers or pads that are scented with a chemical that attracts your dog to use them. You should place the papers or pads in a designated area of your house, such as a bathroom or a laundry room.

Whenever you see your dog showing signs that he needs to go, such as sniffing, circling, or whining, you should gently pick him up and take him to the papers or pads. Praise your dog when he uses them and give him a treat. Gradually, you can move the papers or pads closer to the door and then outside, until your dog learns to go outside only. The downside of this method is that it may take longer for your dog to stop eliminating inside the house. [^2^][2] 2. Establish a routine. Dogs thrive on consistency, so you should try to feed your dog, take him outside, and play with him at the same time every day. This will help your dog learn when to expect his meals and his potty breaks, and reduce the chances of accidents. You should also monitor your dog's water intake and avoid giving him too much water before bedtime or when you leave the house. You should also avoid giving your dog human food or treats that may upset his stomach or make him thirsty.

3. Use positive reinforcement. The key to successful house-training is to reward your dog for doing the right thing and ignore or redirect him when he does the wrong thing. You should never punish your dog for having an accident in the house, as this will only make him fearful of you and more likely to hide his mess. Instead, you should praise your dog and give him a treat every time he eliminates outside, and use a cue word, such as "go potty" or "hurry up", to help him associate the action with the command. You should also clean up any accidents in the house with an enzymatic cleaner, which will remove the odor and prevent your dog from marking the same spot again.4. Be patient and persistent. Housetraining a dog can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the dog's age, breed, and personality. You should not expect your dog to be fully house-trained until he is at least six months old, and some dogs may take longer. With time and effort, your dog will learn to keep your house clean and you will enjoy a happy and healthy relationship.

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 impact-full 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

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: Belgian Malinois

HEIGHT 24-26 inches (male) 22-24 inches (female) WEIGHT 60-80 pounds (male) 40-60 pounds (female) LIFE EXPECTANCY 14-16 years

The smart, confident, and versatile Belgian Malinois is a world-class

worker who forges an unbreakable bond with his human partner. To deny a Mal activity and the pleasure of your company is to deprive him of his very reasons for being. Belgian Malinois are squarely built, proud, and alert herders standing 22 to 26 inches. Strong and well-muscled, but more elegant than bulky, there's an honest, no-frills look about them, as befit dogs built to work hard for their feed. A breed hallmark is the proud carriage of the head. Coat colors range from a rich fawn to mahogany. The black ears and mask accentuate bright, questioning eyes the color of dark Belgian chocolate. If you have ever seen a Mal perform an obedience routine, you know firsthand what a smart and eager breed this is. Problems set in, though, when this people-oriented dog is underemployed and neglected. Exercise, and plenty of it, preferably side by side with their adored owner, is key to Mal happiness.

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

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 funfilled, 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 cold weather This Time of Year

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

Protecting your pet from cold weather is essential to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being during the winter months. Here are some tips to help you keep your pet safe in cold weather: -Provide Adequate Shelter: Ensure your pet has a warm, dry, and sheltered place to retreat from the cold. If your pet lives primarily outdoors, provide an insulated and weatherproof shelter with bedding to keep them warm.

-Limit Outdoor Time: Minimize your pet's exposure to extreme cold by keeping outdoor time to a minimum. Shorten walks and playtime during frigid temperatures, especially if your pet is sensitive to the cold.

-Dress Appropriately: Some pets, particularly small breeds or those with short fur, benefit from wearing pet sweaters or coats. These can help retain body heat and keep them warm during walks.

-Protect Paws: Cold pavement and icy surfaces can harm your pet's paws. Consider using pet-friendly booties to protect their feet from cold and salted sidewalks. After outdoor walks, wipe their paws clean to remove salt and ice-melting chemicals.

-Maintain a Healthy Diet: In cold weather, pets may need more calories to maintain their body temperature. Consult with your veterinarian about adjusting their diet if necessary.

-Stay Dry: Wet fur loses heat more quickly. Keep your pet dry during rainy or snowy weather, and make sure they have access to a dry, warm place to rest.

-Be Cautious with Heaters: Use caution with space heaters and fireplaces, as pets may get too close and risk burns. Make sure heaters are safely secured to prevent accidents.

-Supervise Outdoor Time: If your pet spends time outdoors, always supervise them, especially during freezing temperatures. Don't leave them unattended, as they could be at risk of hypothermia.

-Provide Bedding: A warm, soft bed is essential for your pet during cold weather. Elevate their bed off the floor to prevent drafts and ensure they have a cozy place to rest.

-Ensure Proper Identification: Snow and ice can sometimes distort scents and landscapes, making it easier for pets to become lost. Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with an ID tag and a microchip, in case they get separated from you.

-Groom Regularly: Regular grooming helps maintain your pet's coat and skin health. Keeping their fur clean and wellbrushed can help insulate them against the cold.

-Be Mindful of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is toxic to pets and has a sweet taste that can attract them. Keep antifreeze containers out of reach, and promptly clean up any spills.

By following these tips and paying close attention to your pet's behavior and comfort, you can help ensure their safety and well-being during cold weather. Remember that not all pets have the same tolerance for cold, so tailor your care to your pet's specific needs and consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about their health in winter.

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.

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.
