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.

Animals and the Law

By S.P.C.A leash Law State of Texas

Lin, Doris. "Overview of Animal Cruelty." ThoughtCo, Aug. 28, 2020, thoughtco.com/what-is-animalcruelty-127560.

The term "animal cruelty" gets thrown around a lot, but an animal activist's definition of animal cruelty may be very different from that of a hunter, a vivisector or a farmer. There is also a legal definition of "animal cruelty" that varies by state in the U.S., to confuse things further.

Essentially, though, animal cruelty boils down to inhumane acts against animals of all walks of life, including starving domesticated pets, torturing any creatures and excessive killing of animals for sport.

Animal Cruelty Law in the United States In the United States, there is no federal animal cruelty law. While some federal laws, like the Animal Welfare Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act or the Endangered Species Act restrict when or how certain animals in certain situations may be harmed or killed, these federal laws do not cover the more typical case, such as the person who intentionally kills the neighbor's dog.

Every state has an animal cruelty statute, and some offer stronger protections than others. Hence, the legal definition of "animal cruelty" will vary according to which state you are in, and some places have very large exemptions. For example, most states have exemptions for wildlife, animals in laboratories, and common agricultural practices, such as debeaking or castration. Some states exempt rodeos, zoos, circuses and pest control.

However, some states may also have separate laws banning practices like cockfighting, dog fighting or horse slaughter — activities observed as inhumane by the majority of Americans. Where the legal definition is lacking, at least for animal rights activists, is in protecting all creatures from unnecessary suffering at the hands of mankind.

In any case, if someone is found guilty of animal cruelty, penalties also vary by state. Most states provide for the seizure of the animal victims and reimbursement for expenses for the animals' care, and while some allow counseling or community service as part of the sentencing, twenty-three states have felony penalties of over a year in prison for animal cruelty.

For more information, the Animal Legal and Historic Center provides an excellent, detailed overview of animal cruelty statutes in the U.S. To find your state's animal cruelty statute, go to the Center's site and choose your state from the drop-down menu on the left.

The Common Understanding Animal cruelty cases make headlines around the country every day, whether it's the person who kills the neighbor's cat, the hoarder of sick and dying animals, or the family whose starving, freezing dog is tied up outside in the middle of winter. These acts would likely constitute animal cruelty under any state's animal cruelty statute, and would also fit with the public's common understanding of the term.

However, when it comes to animals other than cats and dogs, peoples' concept of the term "animal cruelty" varies greatly. Most animal activists would say that traditional agricultural practices such as debeaking, tail docking, castration, and confinement on factory farms are animal cruelty. Although some people do agree, as evidenced by the passage of Prop 2 in California, factory farmers and most other states' animal cruelty laws haven't yet adopted these same values.

While some might base their definition of "animal cruelty" on how much the animal suffers or feels pain during death, the amount of suffering is not relevant for animal rights activists because the animals are deprived of their right to live and exist free of human use and abuse.

Some may also base their definition on which type of animal is involved or how intelligent they perceive that animal to be. The slaughter of dogs, horses or whales for meat may be the epitome of animal cruelty to some, while the killing of cows, pigs, and chickens are acceptable to those same individuals. Similarly, to some, the killing of animals for fur or cosmetics testing may constitute unacceptable animal cruelty while the killing of animals for food is acceptable.

Among the general public, the more culturally beloved the animal is and the more unusual the harm is, the more likely they are to be outraged and label the harm to that animal as "animal cruelty." To animal activists, a much wider range of harms is called "animal cruelty." Animal rights activists would argue that cruelty is cruelty, regardless of how common or legal the harm is.

Easy DIY Dog Toy

www.thevatruthkilleen.com

You‛ll need an old T-shirt, a tennis ball and a pair of scissors to whip up this totally tuggable dog toy.

Simply lay your shirt flat and cut across in three strategic places, according to She Knows, then wrap the ball inside two of the pieces. Use the smallest piece of shirt to cinch the toy together. Cut the remaining pieces of cloth into strips and braid.

Easiest dog toy. Just a old sock colored works well. Just insert empty water bottle and tie a knot. hours of fun..

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

Who We Are Drowzy Dawg Rescue is a 501(c)3 animal rescue who actively participate in activities of companion animal rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. Drowzy Dawg strives to engage in other activities related to educating the public concerning animal health and welfare issues.

Drowzy Dawg directly participates in, and provides a forum for others to engage in the promotion of animal welfare. Drowzy Dawg expects to expand and redefine rescue activities programs as necessary to meet the continuing challenge of animal welfare and rescue in our community. We are affiliated with Petco Adoption Partners and Ally Cat Allies Feral Friends Network.

What We Do Drowzy Dawg is all about saving the lives of homeless dogs, cat, pigs and other companion animals in our community. Pulling from shelters to save from euthanasia and taking in strays when the room is available.

Drowzy Dawg does everything possible to help rehabilitate and re-home as many furry friends as possible by networking with other rescues to maximize adoptions!

Drowzy Dawg is also involved in TNR (Trap Neuter Return of feral/stray cats) and work to prepare kittens who can be socialized for adoption.

We house a small population of geriatric unadoptable dogs and cats. We assist, as financially possible, with food, healthcare, spay and neuter, and vaccinations for animals whose owners have fallen on hard times.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Roscoe, Anderson County police dog killed in line of duty,

A man was killed and a teenage girl was injured in the shooting that also led to the death of Roscoe, a police dog from South Carolina.

Nikie Mayo Anderson Independent Mail published this story please visit site for the rest

https://www.independentmail.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2020/08/12/ anderson-county-police-dog-killed-line-duty-1st-shot-since-15/3355775001/

When he was off duty, Roscoe enjoyed being lazy, eating cheese and sleeping inside on his oversize dog bed.

But Roscoe, a 3-year-old German shepherd, had a job. And for it, he gave his life.

He was nationally certified for his abilities to track and apprehend people and to find narcotics. He was so good those things that, earlier this week, he was recognized as the Anderson County Sheriff's Office's canine officer of the month.

Roscoe, a police dog with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina, was wounded in the line of duty Tuesday night and died Wednesday.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce one of our beloved K9s has passed away," the agency wrote. "K9 Roscoe was shot last night while tracking fleeing suspects. ... End Of Watch 8-12-2020."

Pray for the brave Men & Women and Their K9 Partners may God bless you and shield you as you protect us.

Less than three days after receiving that recognition, Roscoe was mortally wounded in a shooting that involved deputies, a man and a teenage girl.

Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride said Tuesday night that two people were shot after deputies were “ambushed” from a hill near the Lowe’s on Clemson Boulevard in Anderson.They had been "driving erratically" on Clemson Boulevard, then smashed into a taxi before jumping out of their car and running up the hill, McBride said.

Roscoe's job was to find them, and he did.

The dog was wounded by friendly fire during a shooting that involved the people on the hill and Anderson County Sheriff's Office deputies.

Medical Notes for a healthier Pet:

Dangerous Foods to avoid Many people are unaware that some of the foods that we eat on regular basis can be deadly to your dog. The following is a list of potential effects they may have on your pet. Keep in mind after you read this pay special attention to your children who will inadvertently feed your dog these life threatening items.

Chocolate: A piece of chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Even a small piece of chocolate is dangerous.

Caffeine: Anything containing caffeine can have a similar effect and be as dangerous as chocolate, and that includes coffee grounds, tea, and tea bags.

Grapes and raisins: can cause kidney failure and even a single serving of raisins can kill your dog.

Excessive salt: intake can also cause kidney problems.

Onions: can cause anemia by destroying red blood cells while tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias.

Tomato plants: are particularly toxic to dogs.

Avocados: are also highly toxic and can cause breathing difficulty and fluid accumulation around the abdomen chest and heart.

Bones: When giving your dog bones ensure that they are raw, as cooked bones can splinter and damage their internal organs. Especially Poultry bone.

Excessive fat: can cause pancreatitis, so it is not wise to feed your dog a diet of fatty foods.

Fried foods: also fall into this category and are not good to retain maximum health in your dog.

Certain nuts: such as Macadamia nuts and walnuts can cause weakness and muscle tremors.

Peanut butter: however is generally okay provided you use the salt and sugar free peanut butter as sugar can encourage cancer growth.

The core and pits: of fruits such as Apple's cherries and peaches contain cyanide, which is really poisonous to dogs and can kill them within 24-hours without warning.

If in doubt, always refrain from feeding your dog foods that we are eating assuming that they will be okay. The foods we eat can kill your Dog. If you have any additional concerns please speak with your veterinarian.

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

is from the American Kennel Club Training Tips for your Pet Article www.akc.org

Basic Obedience Training For Puppies: Where to Start In the early weeks of bringing home a new puppy, many owners are overwhelmed. There are supplies to shop for, appointments to make, and lots of training to be done. Setting up the right behaviors and expectations during puppyhood is essential, and it starts with puppy obedience training classes.

There are many factors that go into choosing the right obedience training classes for you and your puppy. Certainly, distance is a consideration; however, convenience shouldn’t be the only factor that influences your decision. Other things like training methods, appropriate classes for your needs, compatibility of the instructor’s personality with yours, and certifications of the instructor should also play a role.

Puppy Training: Home or Away?

There are benefits to home training and group class training. Some trainers will come to your home and provide private one-on-one training.

Some owners opt to train their own dogs.

Home training may allow you and your dog to focus more on each other.

Group class training helps your dog learn to focus, even when there are distractions from other dogs.

One benefit of home training is that it is private — you and your trainer can More information go to focus on things you particularly want https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/basic-obediencetraining-for-your-dog/ your dog to learn, while at group classes you may spend time on things you don’t personally find important.

In some cases, you may not have any choice but to train at home; remote or rural areas may not have a local training school where you can take group classes.

Choosing an Obedience Training Instructor Most training schools are happy to allow you to attend and observe a class or two to be sure the style of instruction fits with your beliefs (leave you pup at home for this.)

Most dogs learn best through positive reinforcement training; rewarding the dog for making the right choice and withholding rewards, or ignoring the dog for making an incorrect choice.

When observing a class, take note of the dogs; do they look happy? Relaxed? Excited to work? Is the instructor encouraging dogs and owners? Does the class seem to be run in a safe and effective manner? If you don’t feel comfortable at a particular training school, your dog won’t either, and you’ll be setting your dog up to fail. Keep looking for a school where you feel comfortable; both you and your dog will succeed best in this environment.

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.
