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!

Animals and the Law

Animals need rabies vaccination!! .

Rabies Vaccination Requirements The state of Texas requires that dogs and cats be vaccinated against rabies by 4 months of age. The vaccination must be administered by a licensed veterinarian. Additionally, when traveling with a dog or cat, have in your possession a rabies vaccination certificate that was signed by the veterinarian who administered the vaccination. Check with your veterinarian about other vaccines that are available for a wide range of diseases in these animals.

For an animal to be considered currently vaccinated against rabies in rabies exposure situations, at least 30 days must have elapsed since the initial vaccination and the time elapsed since the most recent vaccination must not have exceeded the recommended interval for booster vaccination as established by the manufacturer. Local jurisdictions may require more frequent rabies vaccination intervals.

All dogs and cats 12 weeks of age or older that are being transported into Texas must have been vaccinated against rabies and not be overdue. Proof of vaccination must be provided via a rabies vaccination certificate (or pet passport) signed by the attending veterinarian. Veterinarians in Texas are restricted to using vaccines approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); however, for entry purposes only, dogs and cats traveling into the state from another country may be inoculated against rabies with killed, modified live, or recombinant vaccine. Once in Texas, if a USDA-approved vaccine was not used or the veterinarian who administered it was not licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the US, compliance must be achieved.

Although not required by law, it is recommended that livestock (especially those that have frequent contact with humans), domestic ferrets, and wolf-dog hybrids be vaccinated against rabies. Again, check with your veterinarian about other available vaccines for these animals.

Additional information is also available: Details on dog and cat entry requirements Texas Administrative Code with rabies vaccination requirements https://www.dshs.texas.gov/idcu/disease/rabies/vaccine/pets/

Well summer is upon us, and this time of year we have to be watchful of our fur babies.

Rising temperatures can create a problem, and be critical for animals this time of year. We all hear stories of dogs in the car, windows up, their outside no shade or water, etc. Here are some tips to keep in mind as temperatures sore: source-https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/ general-pet-care/hot-weather-safety-tips Visit the vet for a spring or early-summer checkup.

Make sure your pets get tested for heart worm if they aren’t on year-round preventative medication.

Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot or humid outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. Symptoms can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees.

Animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Not only can it lead to fatal heat stroke, it is illegal in several states!

Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool—not all dogs are good swimmers. Introduce your pets to water gradually and make sure they wear flotation devices when on boats. Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from his fur, and try to keep your dog from drinking pool water, which contains chlorine and other chemicals.

Open unscreened windows pose a real danger to pets, who often fall out of them. Keep all unscreened windows or doors in your home closed, and make sure adjustable screens are tightly secured.

Feel free to trim longer hair on your dog, but never shave your dog: The layers of dogs’ coats protect them from overheating and sunburn. Brushing cats more often than usual can prevent problems caused by excessive heat. And be sure that any sunscreen or insect repellent product you use on your pets is labeled specifically for use on animals.

When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on hot asphalt. Being so close to the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.

Commonly used rodenticides and lawn and garden insecticides can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested, so keep them out of reach. Keep citronella candles, tiki torch products and insect coils of out pets’ reach as well. Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 if you suspect your animal has ingested a poisonous substance.

Remember that food and drink commonly found at barbeques can be poisonous to pets. Keep alcoholic beverages away from pets, as they can cause intoxication, depression and comas. Similarly, remember that the snacks enjoyed by your human friends should not be a treat for your pet; any change of diet, even for one meal, may give your dog or cat severe digestive ailments. Avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with the sweetener xylitol. Please visit our People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pets page for more information.

Please leave pets at home when you head out to Fourth of July celebrations, and never use fireworks around pets. Exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in severe burns or trauma, and even unused fireworks can contain hazardous materials. Many pets are also fearful of loud noises and can become lost, scared or disoriented, so it’s best to keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escapeproof area of your home.

For other ways to help, download and share our hot weather safety infographic to alert others of the dangers your pets may face during the summer.

It's hot out! Don't leave your pet in the car!

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

Education, not shame In a perfect world, every dog on the planet would be living in the comfort of their human’s home; snuggled up on the couch or snoring from their dog bed. However, this isn’t how things are at all.

Our team members have witnessed the evil and harsh reality of what dogs endure in this cruel world. They are the voice for these helpless animals and at times also a savior. Our team is comprised of passionate souls that want nothing more than the welfare for the dogs in the community to be treated fairly, kindly, and at the very least humanly.

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

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

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

GetALong Dachshund Rescue www.getalongdachshundrescue.org/contact

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.

Famous Animals:

10% off Rudy from Marley & Me

food only and no Alcohol

There are a lot of dogs in the 2008 movie Marley & Me—20 to be exact. Of those pooches, six were actually rescues found at animal shelters, including a sweet pup named Rudy who was found at the Hillsborough County Animal Services in Florida, writes Mom.com.

You know what TV show was also iconic in the ’90s? Full House.

You may remember Comet from the series, a sweet golden retriever that belonged to the Tanners. Comet’s real name is Buddy, and he was adopted by a man named Kevin DiCicco who found him as a stray in the Sierra Nevada area, according to Buddy’s biography, Go Buddy!. Buddy also played himself in the popular ’90s movie, Air Bud.

Like some of the other dogs we’ve included here, Charlie Gray, a Löwchen, was rescued just in time before being put to sleep at a Hollywood shelter. Animal trainer Bob Blair is responsible for rescuing Charlie Gray, and he’s also responsible for helping to make him the star of the ’70s/’80s sitcom Hart to Hart, where he played Freeway. according to IMDB.

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!

Medical Notes for a healthier Pet: Flea & Tics are out...

Pests That Feed on Your Pets source:https://pets.webmd.com/ss/slideshow-flea-and-tick-overview The soft, warm fur of dogs and cats provides the perfect environment for fleas and ticks. These insects feed on your pet’s blood and can cause health problems ranging from allergic reactions to serious tick-borne illnesses. Both fleas and ticks are more common during the warmer months, but you can take steps to ward them off any time of year.Flea Warning Signs: Dogs Flea droppings (dark specks) in the fur Flea eggs (white specks) in the fur Excessive licking or scratching Scabs or hot spots on the skin Flea Warning Signs: Cats The easiest way to find fleas on a cat is to use a flea comb (a special fine-toothed comb). Especially check the neck and around the base of the tail. You also can check the belly. You may see the fleas -- small dark spots that move -- or their droppings, which look like specks of dirt. Lots of scratching and hair loss are also signs that fleas may be feasting on your feline.

Anemia Fleas can take in 15 times their own weight in blood. Dogs or cats that lose too much blood may develop anemia, a dangerous drop in the number of their red blood cells. Puppies and kittens are especially at risk. Signs of anemia caused by fleas include pale gums and lack of energy.

Allergic to Fleas Fleas are the most common cause of skin disease in dogs and cats. When a flea bites, it injects saliva into your pet’s skin.

This may trigger an allergic reaction. Signs include intense itching, hair loss (especially just in front of the tail), scabs, and red, irritated skin, which may lead to skin infections.

How Do Pets Get Fleas?

Pets can easily pick up fleas when outdoors. Indoor cats can get them even if they just go out on the patio or share their home with a dog. Female fleas can lay 40 to 50 eggs a day. That can lead to an infestation in days.

Tick Warning Signs You can feel ticks when you pet your cat or dog, and you can see them. They most often attach near the head, neck, ears, or paws. On cats, they're usually found around the ears and eyes. Ticks can carry diseases. If you find a tick on your pet, try to remove it as soon as possible.

Safe Ways to Remove Ticks Skip gasoline, nail polish, petroleum jelly, alcohol, or a hot match. These methods can force infected fluids back into the bite. Instead: Use gloves or tissue to cover your hands.

Grasp the tick with tweezers from the side, by its head, close to the skin.

Pull straight up. Don't twist.

Don't squeeze (or pop!) the bloated belly.

Wash the bite area and your hands. Mouth parts that remain rarely cause serious problems. Questions? Call your vet.

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

How do you know if a Bearded Dragon is the right pet for you?

By Tracie Kretzschmar of Bug-De-Lite.com Have you ever found yourself thinking about finding a unique & interesting pet to join your family but just could not come to a decision easily? Reptiles are intriguing & exotic which is a huge draw for most people when looking for an unusual pet to bring home. The most important thing to consider is whether or not you are willing to allot the time for the proper planning and implementation to provide the best care for your new Bearded Dragon. I always recommend doing several months of research into the proper UVB lighting, nutritional requirements and tank measurements before you ever begin shopping for your first Bearded Dragon. In doing so, it will spare you & your child a lot of heartbreak of possibly losing your first Bearded Dragon to improper care.

Several things to ponder when considering a Bearded Dragon are: 1) How much space do you currently have at home in order to be able to house your Bearded Dragon and where would you place the tank in your home, such as the living or den area, a bedroom, etc?

2) How much time daily, are you willing to commit to in order to properly care for and feed your new Bearded Dragon?

3) How many caretakers will be responsible for helping to care for your Bearded Dragon?

4) What type of other pets are currently in your household and how will that affect them and your new bearded dragon in areas such as safety concerns?

In considering any type of pet as a new addition to the family, pondering your daily regime and how much time you would like to spend with your new pet is important. Reptiles are sold as an easy beginner pet but are not as easy to keep as one might think. They require very specific care and do take some time each day in order for them to maintain optimal health. It is not a requirement for them to be handled daily or to be allowed out of their tank for playtime daily, but it is strongly encouraged to practice those habits. It really makes for a much more enriching life for both your new bearded dragon and the care taker. When considering a Bearded Dragon as a new addition into your family, it is a great ideato get the input of Continuethat story page-with the overall daily care & attention of your new family member.We all everyone willon benext involved start out with good & noble intentions but oftentimes are misled by information which places us down a difficult road that we were not prepared for. Bearded Dragons are endearing and loving pets but are greatly misunderstood.

59

Contrary to popular belief, Bearded Dragons are not always solitary animals and prefer low to moderate social settings. They do not however do well when housed with other reptiles but thrive when they have their own space for living, that way they don't have to compete for food, space or living resources such as heating & UVB lighting exposure. They will greatly appreciate their own home and creature comforts such as a nice fleece blanket for lounging and a stress free living environment. It can be a big responsibility for a youngster so I highly recommend keeping in mind your child's schedule with school, sports or any other extra curricular activities to make sure that they will be able to handle the care of your new Bearded Dragon. Ultimately if your child wants to acquire a Bearded Dragon, the parents will need to oversee the care of the Bearded Dragon to ensure it has everything needed for optimal health. Bearded Dragons do need a good amount of floor space in order to be comfortable. Usually for starters it is recommended to have a tank that is no smaller than a 20 gallon for babies to juveniles. As they grow into adults, a 75 gallon or larger is highly recommended. This as well as proper UVB lighting should be on the high priority list when you are considering purchasing a Bearded Dragon.

They need to be able to have adequate turnaround space in their enclosures in order to reduce stress on their tails & spines. They do enjoy being in an area where there is some social interaction and external stimuli, but not an overload. There has to be a balance so that they are not isolated but don't have the constant stress of small children or other household pets which are loud or predatory to them. House pets such as dogs and cats can be very curious but cats are especially predatory. It is very stressful to them to see a large animal circling their tank. To avoid any unforeseen disasters it is a good idea to secure the top of the tank so that your cat is not able to knock it off & injure or kill your Bearded Dragon. You can always give some thought towards placing your reptile's tank up on a stand so that they are not stressed by your dog or cat's presence.

You will need to make room for keeping insects for your Bearded Dragon along with managing the foods for gut loading the insects. Be sure to check the availability in your area of the insects they will need such as crickets, super worms or silkworms before committing to a Bearded Dragon. There are online supply sources for the insects and you can have them shipped to your home. Checking out your options of insects, housing, etc before purchasing a Bearded Dragon will be much easier for the transition of your new pet. It is recommended to decide on what type of critter keepers & foods that you are going to be providing for your insects that will be fed to your bearded dragon. Healthy insects that are properly fed have a direct bearing on the health of your Bearded Dragon. Bearded Dragons need a good variety of insects as well as vegetation. It is optimal to have your tank setup, with the proper lighting, proper substrate and proper temperatures before bringing in your new Bearded Dragon. This reduces relocation stress & anxiety levels. I suggest doing a trial run of your new lighting inside of the tank to test your temperatures. Make sure the distance of the lighting is proper so your Bearded Dragon will feel at home and be comfortable when you get him. It can be a lot of work initially to get set up properly and to learn how to feed them if this is your first Bearded Dragon, so it is important to remember that they deserve just as much time, attention & love as a dog or a cat. They are full of personality & most of them absolutely love attention. It is a very rewarding experience to learn how to keep & care for a Bearded Dragon for everyone involved.

Bearded Dragons are well worth the effort so when considering purchasing one please keep in mind that it is a commitment & should be done on more of a serious note. They are like mammals in the way that they become emotionally attached and normally don't like change or relocation, especially if being re-homed. It is a challenge to find another person to take in a Bearded Dragon most of the time. As long as you do some basic research and have your tanks setup essentials completed before you bring home a bearded dragon then you should have an easy time helping your Bearded Dragon adjust to his new home! Most of all, have fun & enjoy your new Bearded Dragon!

Starkey's Strays http://starkeysstrays.simplesite.com/ starkeysstrays@gmail.com Fluffy is a neutered male born on May 23, 2015. He is sweet once he warms up to you otherwise he is very shy. He does get along with children but it takes him a while to warm up to them. He would do best in a home with no dogs and only cats. He loves cuddles and pets once he is comfortable in his environment. He was born a Feral so he is still getting used to trusting humans.

Adoption fee $30

Company Overview

Local Cat rescue ensuring that all unwanted, abused, and abandoned cats in the North Killeen Castle Heights area have a loving place to call home.

We started when we came across a stray kitten on our property, he was very shy and sad. We earned his trust and let him in our home. We made him healthy and happy and found him a good home.

Soon after another cat showed up skinny and in need of love, so we did the same for her. Next thing we knew we were up to 8 cats, then 10, then we were rescuing every cat we came across. It was our mission to help them all.

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.

Fun facts

Miracle Milly the worlds smallest dog

Source: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2013/9/video-miraclemilly-the-worlds-smallest-dog-51485 Pocket-sized pets remain one of the most fascinating areas of the Guinness World Records database, with petite dogs arguably the most popular of all our animal records.

The smallest dog living, in terms of height, is female Chihuahua Miracle Milly, who measures 9.65 cm (3.8 in) tall and is owned by Vanesa Semler of Dorado, Puerto Rico.

Born in December 2011, she weighs roughly 1 pound (half a kilogram) and is known for often sticking out her tiny tongue when someone takes her picture. "She knows how to pose," says Vanesa.

"People are amazed when they see her because she is so small, and she has a big personality.

People love her."

When she was born, Miracle Milly weighed less than an ounce and fit in a teaspoon, Semler said.

Her mouth was too tiny to nurse from her mother, so Semler gave her milk every two hours through an eyedropper.

She slept in a doll's crib next to Semler's bed, growing stronger as the months passed.

The Chihuahua now sleeps in a baby's crib and will eat nothing but food cooked by humans.
