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

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

How We Do It Our organization is run entirely by volunteers and all of our pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout the Hill County and surrounding area.

We focus on helping the healthy and treatable pets who are at risk of euthanasia at Rural Texas Shelters – by rescuing the pets at greatest risk and helping owners who are having problems so great that they need to surrender their pet(s) to a shelter.

Farmers Resort To Euthanizing

CHICAGO (Reuters) - With the pandemic hobbling the meat-packing industry, Iowa farmer Al Van Beek had nowhere to ship his full-grown pigs to make room for the 7,500 piglets he expected from his breeding operation. The crisis forced a decision that still troubles him: He ordered his employees to give injections to the pregnant sows, one by one, that would cause them to abort their baby

pigs

"farmers say they have no choice but to cull livestock " Van Beek and other farmers say they have no choice but to cull livestock if they run short on space to house their animals or money to feed them, or both. The world’s biggest meat companies - including Smithfield Foods Inc, Cargill Inc, JBS USA and Tyson Foods Inc - have halted operations at about 20 slaughterhouses and processing plants in North America since April as workers fall ill, stoking global fears of a meat shortage.

Van Beek’s piglets are victims of a sprawling food-industry crisis that began with the mass closure of restaurants upending that sector’s supply chain, overwhelming storage and forcing farmers and processors to destroy everything from milk to salad greens to animals. Processors geared up to serve the food-service industry can’t immediately switch to supplying grocery stores.

Millions of pigs, chickens and cattle will be euthanized because of slaughterhouse closures, limiting supplies at grocers, said John Tyson, chairman of top U.S. meat supplier Tyson Foods.

Pork has been hit especially hard, with daily production cut by about a third. Unlike cattle, which can be housed outside on pasture, U.S. hogs are fattened up for slaughter inside temperature-controlled buildings. If they are housed too long, they can get too big and injure themselves. The barns need to be emptied out by sending adult hogs to slaughter before the arrival of new piglets from sows that were impregnated just before the pandemic.

“We have nowhere to go with the pigs,” said Van Beek, who lamented the waste of so much meat. “What are we going to do?”

In Minnesota, farmers Kerry and Barb Mergen felt their hearts pound when a crew from Daybreak Foods Inc arrived with carts and tanks of carbon dioxide to euthanize their 61,000 egg-laying hens earlier this month.

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.

To Sponsor this Page Contact

rescuemagazine@yahoo.com or 254-231-3690 for info.

We sometimes find ourselves providing loving arms and a safe foster home for the severely ill to live out their last days being loved and cherished, sadly all too often they are experiencing this love for the very first time.

Many of the dachshunds we get are abandoned in shelters because they can no longer provide their owners with healthy puppies to be sold. Or they have gotten old and are in need of medical attention so they are sent to the shelter for someone else to care for. All too often the only medical care they have ever had was their first shots as 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.

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.

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.

Animals who are Heroes From https://dogs-in-history.blogspot.com/2016/06/nemo-one-of-few-vietnam-war-dogs-to.html

Breed German Shepherd Sex Male Died December 1972 Lackland Air Force Base San Antonio, Texas Occupation War dog Employer United States Air Force

Nemo was born in October 1962 and began his military career with the Air Force in the summer of '64. After completing an eight week training course, the German shepherd and his handler Airman Bryant were assigned to Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington. In January 1966, the two were transferred to the Republic of South Vietnam. They were assigned to the 377th Security Police Squadron stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base. Six months later, Bryant rotated back to the US and Nemo was paired with a new handler, 22 year old Airman 2nd Class Robert Thorneburg.

One night in December 1966, Thorneburg and Nemo were on patrol about a quarter mile away from the air base. Not long after they got there, Nemo alerted his handler to the presence of enemy soldiers in the vicinity. Before Thorneburg could radio for help, they were fired on. Thorneburg released his dog and began firing into the enemy. Nemo was shot and wounded, the bullet entered under his right eye and exited through his mouth. Thorneburg was able to kill one Viet Cong soldier before he too was shot in the shoulder and knocked to the ground.

Despite his injury, Nemo refused to give in without a fight. The 85 pound dog threw himself at the guerrillas, giving Thorneburg time to radio for help. A Quick Reaction Team arrived, killing the remaining Viet Cong soldiers. Meanwhile, Nemo had dragged himself over to Thorneburg and crawled on top of his handler's body to protect him from harm.

The base veterinarian worked diligently to save Nemo's life. Nemo pulled through but was blinded in the right eye. When the doctor felt Nemo was well enough, the dog was put back on perimeter duty. But it turned out his wounds needed further treatment. On June 23, 1967, Air Force Headquarters directed that Nemo be returned to the US with honors, as the first sentry dog to be officially retired from active service. Thorneburg was taken to Japan to recuperate then also returned home with honors.

On July 22, 1967, Nemo arrived at Kelly Air Force Base in Texas and was welcomed by a committee headed by Captain Robert Sullivan, the officer in charge of the sentry dog training program at Lackland. After settling in, Nemo and Sullivan made a number of cross country tours and television appearances as part of the Air Force's recruitment drive for more war dog candidates. After the US involvement in Vietnam began to wind down, Nemo was given a permanent kennel to retire in at the Department of Defense Dog Center in Texas.

Nemo died shortly before Christmas in December 1972. After a failed attempt to preserve his body, the Vietnam War dog hero was laid to rest on March 15, 1973 at the Department of Defense Dog Center.

Nemo's kennel stands today as a memorial in his honor.

Medical Notes for a healthier Pet

Cleaning your Dogs ears

LET’S TALK ABOUT EARS: Those floppy things on the sides of our pups’ heads seem to be an issue at times!

So what can we do to help them when they are having problems?

I’ll start with a little info on the problem, because there are some important things that you need to know: Our pup’s ears are sensitive, so to prevent those nasty infections, you need to keep up on their care.

They hate to have anyone messing with them, even more if they are hurting, so prepare for a wiggly Pyr-worm!

You have to do it right: if you mess up, you can hurt them.

Ok, so let’s proceed to the next thing: “Ow! My ears itch and hurt!”Do you have a stinky pup? Not the “I just rolled in the mud or in the horse poop” smell; Just a nasty odor.

Normally, dogs smell ok and there’s always going to be the wet dog, or the sweaty dog from playing outside. When there is a problem, there is a bad odor. There are a few things that can cause this: an ear infection, dental tartar/oral infections or skin infections. If you smell a bad odor, sniff their ears. When they are ok, they may have a little wax, be overall clean and the skin is pink, with no odor.

Most dogs will get an ear infection at least once in their life. It’s painful to them, and you will be able to tell if there’s a problem. It’s not normal for dogs to constantly scratch their ears. Occasionally, they will if there are maybe fleas, or some minor irritation, but if they are constantly scratching their ears there’s something wrong. Shaking their head, rubbing/scratching the ears, redness/swelling, and of course the smell. Most infections are caused by dirt, bacteria, and mites, especially mites in puppies. Your vet will be able to help with this.

One way to check your pup’s ears is “The Cotton Ball/Q-Tip test”.

Gently swab their ears with a cotton ball or head of a Q-Tip. It should come out clean. There’s no such thing as “normal dirt, so unless they have been in the mud, or dirty area, it should come out clean. If it comes out dark brown or you see bright red, scaly skin, or has pus then there’s more than likely an infection.

Next: Infection Treatment, or “let’s mess with our pup’s sore ears some more – they love it!”

First the ear has to be clean, so this is going to be fun – the ear hurts, the pup weighs about 90 – 100 lbs., and doesn’t want their ears messed with! To effectively clean the ear, get some help, fill the ear canal with the solution, put a cotton ball at the opening, and then gently massage the base of the ear. The cotton ball will keep the solution in the canal, absorb the extra solution, and catch some of the bad stuff. As long as you can get your “little” Pyr to tolerate it, you can repeat this until the cotton ball is clean. Be ready for the rapid head shaking when you let go!Wear old clothes for this job! When cleaning the ear, use a cotton ball to do this: NOT a Q-Tip! The Q-Tip can rupture the eardrum of a wiggling Pyr! And don’t use alcohol, just think of you having a rash and pouring alcohol on it!

After the cleaning fun, let the ear set for 10 or so minutes to dry. Give your brave patient a treat, before continuing! Then here comes the meds! Use what your vet has prescribed (ointment or drops), and follow the vet’s treatment schedule. Like us, they need to complete their treatment – or the infection can come back, and be harder to treat! Make sure you clean the ears each time you treat. You need to get out any old ointment, so the fresh stuff can work. Piling on more and more ointment will just give the infection a nice place to grow! How long this will take is up to your vet. Just be sure to follow their instructions!

Now for Prevention, or “Let’s not go through this again!”

After the infection has been treated and your Pyr is a happy Pyr be sure to keep their ears clean, so hopefully, unless there’s an issue like an allergy, or other problem there should be no more hassles until time to clean again! Routine cleanings are very important to their health, it keeps the nasty infections away, and if your pup has allergies, it will just help with preventing those infections! After a bath or swimming, give the ears a cleaning. If your pup has repeat ear infections, ask your vet to do an ear culture, if they don’t suggest it.

So what supplies will I need? Ear cleaner - can be natural (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water);Witch hazel; Organic apple cider vinegar and purified water, mixed equal parts; Hydrogen peroxide; or use the cleaner recommended by your veterinarian.

Cotton Swabs or Q-Tips – (do not stick more than the head of the Q-Tip into ears).

Towels, lots. (for the pup and you!) This is messy, and you will get some of the nasty stuff on you!

A helper, unless you’re brave!

A place where you can work with a squirming, strong, heavy pup!

And of course, TREATS!!! LOTS!!!

So now we’ve covered the fun world of ears let’s recap: Infections are mean, painful and nasty. Proper cleaning will aid in the prevention.

Prepare for the cleaning: get your supplies, put them within reach.

Follow all the treatment instructions from your vet.

Start a regular cleaning schedule.

I hope this has been a help with taking care of your Pyr. Cleaning their ears isn’t too bad! Just regular care will go a long way to having a happy, ear infection-free fur baby! For more information, please talk to your vet. They are the experts in these things! © 2020 John J. Paonessa

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

Training Tips for your Pet

Article is from the American Kennel Club www.akc.org

1. Understand that a puppy is an infant dog – not a miniature adult. Adjust your expectations accordingly, considering his physical and mental limitations. Before you know it, he will be grown up!

2. Puppy-proof your house with baby gates, a crate, and/or a pen. Any time the puppy is not directly supervised, he should be in a safe place where he can’t get into trouble. Provide appropriate safe toys for him to chew. Nobody would think of giving a human toddler total freedom in a home, and puppies need the same careful supervision. Eliminating opportunities for accidents and destructive behavior will get you through the puppy phase with most of your stuff intact! This helps make sure that bad habits never get a chance to take hold.

3. Dogs are not born understanding English. The new puppy you brought home two days ago has no idea what the word “no” means. Instead of expecting him to drop whatever it is he’s doing, show him what you want him to do instead.

4. Learn about dog body language. Your dog may not be able to talk, but he can tell you how he feels. This is a good place to start learning what he’s saying: /content/entertainment/articles/how-to-read-dog-body-language/ 5. Train with high-value treats. You will be amazed at how much harder your dog will work for a tiny piece of chicken breast, cheese, or liver, compared to even premium store-bought treats. Those may work in distraction-free settings, but when the job gets more difficult, you need to bring out the good stuff. Training treats should be soft, so you don’t have to wait for Rover to chew before continuing the lesson.

6. Catch your dog being good. It’s easy to get caught up in scolding when your puppy is getting into trouble, but rewarding him out of the blue for being good lets him know he’s doing the right thing.

7. He’s a dog, not a human. It’s their “doggyness,” not what we think of as their similarity to humans, that makes them so lovable. Dogs don’t think like humans. They do not plot acts of revenge; they are just trying to do what makes them feel happy or safe.

8. Dogs do the things that we reinforce. Those behaviors you don’t like? We usually have ourselves to thank. Owners inadvertently reinforce all kinds of undesirable things, from excessive barking at the doorbell to counter surfing. Keep leaving food within reach on the counter, and your dog will learn that it’s worth his while to check.

9. Learn to be quick with treats and praise. If the treat comes more than a few seconds after your pup has done what you’ve asked, he has no idea what he did to earn it, or you may inadvertently reward the wrong behavior. He’s happy to take it, but you failed to reward what you were teaching.

10. Always be happy when your dog comes to you, whether you called him or not. A common owner complaint is that the dog does not come when called. Never punish your dog when he comes to you, no matter what he did before. Call him in a happy, playful tone and reward big when he gets to you, with treats, a toy, or praise.

11. Keep a positive attitude. If you are getting upset, your dog knows it!

12. Provide the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation. Bored dogs get into trouble. For young puppies, mental stimulation is just as tiring as physical exercise and is safer for their growing bodies.

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.

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.

People who make a Diffence with Animals Simon Cowell and Squiddly and Diddly Cowell adopted his cute Terriers in late 2013. Turns out he‛s quite the animal ruver. I mean, can you even picture Simon freakin‛ Cowell talking all things dogs and coo-ing over his pups? If you can‛t, let me help you a little. You can watch him go all goo goo ga ga on The Ellen Show.

Bradley Cooper and Samson and Charlotte Cooper rescued Samson when he saw the German Short-Haired Pointer on a kill-shelter site. He fell in love with 7-year-old Charlotte at an adoption drive.

He shared his animal ruv on People Pets: “I lucked out, I got two great rescues…I’m sort of a hybrid of both my dogs. Samson is stoic and makes me earn it and Charlotte loves me undyingly. They’re my kids.”
