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 aH 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.

Training Tips

By Ron Ducharme

A Well Trained Dog Is certainly a lot more fun for you to have an obedient and trained dog. Not only that, but trained dogs, are happier dogs.

They are less likely to get into fights with other dogs and will tend to socialize better with dogs that they meet in public.

It is particularly important to have a well-trained dog if you have young members of the family or children in the neighborhood.

Just like having well-behaved children, a well-trained dog makes for a happier household.

The time that you spend training your puppy initially will impact on the pleasure you can get from your dog for the many years of its life. Taking the time to train your dog will strengthen the bond you have together and this will ensure a long and happy friendship where both you and your dog benefit.

Considering the amount of time that you will be with your dog the time involved in training is minimal and well worthwhile. There are a few basic commands that need to be mastered and they are all relatively simple.

These commands are...

Down: this is where you teach your dog to lay down on command, and is one of the main aspects of any successful training program.

Heel: this is where you teach your dog walk beside you at the same pace without pulling on the lead.

Learning the 'No' word: this is a particularly important word for your dog to know and can save you a lot of trouble.

In fact it is probably one of the most important aspects of training, if you can get your dog to understand and respond to the word no. It can certainly save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Sit: sit is one of the most basic of all dog training commands and is one that you'll want to teach from the outset to maintain control of your dog's behavior.

Stay: and finally 'stay' - this is important to ensure that no matter where you are, you'll know that your dog will stay precisely where you want it.

If there is nothing else that you train your dog to do beyond these basic commands, it will certainly improve the relationship you have with your dog and the enjoyment and happiness that you and your dog will have together.

It is well worth the time while still a puppy, as it will improve the quality of life for many years to come. Training will also let your dog know that you're the boss and in doing so eliminate many behavior problems. Dogs that are untrained can often get depressed, despondent, and unhappy and display symptoms of anxiety and confusion.

You are actually giving your dog a purpose in life, where they will get pleasure out of the fact that they are pleasing you.

BI-STONE SMALL PAWS RESCUE 254-203-3466 bistonerescue@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/Bi-Stone-Small-PawsRescue-131274888778204/

About This Shelter Our mission is to prevent euthanasia of unwanted, abandoned, and abused puppies, pregnant, and small dogs. Bi-Stone Small Paws Rescue provides foster and veterinary services, including spay/neuter and arranging adoptions and transfers to no-kill shelters.

We have a project: Rescue Magazine is looking for a Shop that specializes in Custom lift/Conversion to Monster Truck. The Idea is to convert of company car to what you see below.

Our goal: Giant Toy Monster Truck.

This will be used at all Extravaganzas and car shows in Central Texas. Looking for sponsorship, and shops whom would benefit from the exposure. If you know of a shop or would like to sponsor this project contact: rescuemagazine@yahoo.com Attn: Ron Sponsor

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

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!

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

About the Breed Make no mistake: The Doberman Pinscher is a fun-loving, family-oriented dog with an up-foranything personality, whether it’s a run around the neighborhood or a lazy Sunday spent on the couch cuddling with their human. But these dogs also possess something else: a fierce loyalty and determination to protect their families when needed. And it’s precisely that bold bravery that makes them excel as guard dogs and police and military dogs. Fearless and assertive, Dobermans are known for their imposing, tough-dog exterior, but underneath you’ll discover they actually have a heart of gold.

About this Rescue

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.

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.

Cleaning dog toys Cleaning Dog Toys Dog toys are considered one of the top 10 germ infested items in a home according to a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International study. Most dogs have favorite toys they want to carry wherever they go. All through the house, the yard, the dog park, on their walks with you. Now stop and picture what that means. Slobber, dirt, fecal contamination highly contagious Parvo and Distemper germs. Your pet's toys can literally harbor anything from fungus to mold, mildew to staph bacteria. In the case of fecal contamination, toys may contain E. coli or Giardia, which can be passed to humans. If toys are exposed to areas where other dogs are/have been such as dog parks or on walks, there is a greater risk of them harboring Parvo and Distemper germs which is a grave danger to puppies and young dogs.

Dog toys should be cleaned/disinfected at least monthly, although weekly would be better and toys that go on walks or the dog park should be cleaned daily.

What to use to clean and disinfect is the most important step in the whole process. Only use products that are pet safe!!!

Washing your buddy's toys in regular laundry detergent, bleach or dishwasher cleansers can harm your pet and must never be used. Avoid using cleaning products that contain Bleach Chlorine Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) Phthalates Artificial Dyes Rope and stuffed toys can often be machine washed. It is a good idea to use a mesh laundry bag.

Always use the hottest water temperature possible (typically, the warm setting) that is safe for the toys. Hot water (at least 140 F) will kill bacteria and viruses, as well as, helping to kill dust mites. However, toys with glue, plastic pieces, crinkles, or squeakers should be washed in cool water so that the glue or other plastic parts don’t melt. Thoroughly dry toys so they do not get moldy.

Many rubber, plastic and nylon toys can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Certain precautions need to be taken however.

We have included a link below that gives more detailed information on cleaning and disinfecting toys as well as pet safe cleaning products and materials you should avoid when buying your pet's toys in the first place. Always remember to inspect toys on a regular basis to keep your pet from ingesting/choking on loose pieces or stuffing. https://www.preventivevet.com/dogs/how-to-wash-dog-toys-safely

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.

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.

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.

Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains in Greentown, Pa. Our mission is to provide the best possible long-term care for displaced senior German Shepherds. (Senior being 8 years and older.)

We also provide sanctuary for senior German Shepherds with Degenerative Myelopathy which is a disease that affects the spinal cord, resulting in slow progressive hind limb weakness, paralysis, and eventually death.

Displaced senior German Shepherds have come to us from as far south as Florida and as far west as California, but we primarily focus on Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.

We are a cage-free, home environment on a little over three acres where the senior German Shepherds in our care get 24/7 supervision, the best medical care, high-quality dog food and home-cooked meals, lots of orthopedic dog beds, plenty of short frequent walks, and lots of love and interaction with people and other dogs.

Fun facts Koalas can sleep for up to 22 hours a day.

Koala need more sleep than most animals, because their diet of eucalyptus leaves contain toxins, are very low in nutrition, and high in fibrous matter – so they take a large amount of energy to digest!

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/)

https://zoisanimalrescue.com/

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.
