Congratulations on your decision to adopt a new pet. Taking a new pet into your home is an exciting time, a choice that doesn’t have to be stressful if you help them along every step of the way by helping them feel comfortable. Here are a few tips to help your newly adopted pet stress less:
Familiarity
Learn as much as you can ...Read More
The new film Cats and Dogs 3D: The Revenge of Kitty Galore doesn't just have an anthropomorphized shelter dog for a protagonist. Most of the cast is shelter animals-- or at least, the animals brought in to play them.
The film was made in partnership with the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ( ASPCA ), and received most o...Read More
Apparently there is still debate over wether to buy a pet from a store or adopt from a shelter. I say apparently because, from an ethical perspective, this shouldn’t even be a question.
The ( hopefully ) obvious reason why people should favor shelters for acquiring pets is because those facilities are over packed with animals that, if not a...Read More
Statistics show that dogs and cats whose owners allow them to roam freely outdoors tend to have much shorter overall lifespans due to the increased exposure to the elements, and the increased probability of accidents. However, these are animals that actually have homes to return to when they see fit. Stray animals that have only the streets on w...Read More
Want a pet but not all of the hassle of owning one? Pet fostering might just be the ticket for you. If you don know what a foster pet parent does, a pet foster parent cares for a homeless animal until they are adopted from the foster pet agency.
The foster parents are also matched specifically to the needs the animal has. So if, for ex...Read More
March 17th saw the announcement of the Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet commemorative stamps from the United States Postal Service. Collaborating with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and the holistic pet company Halo ( which she co-owns ), the USPS revealed stamps with ten facial shots of five cats and five dogs. The stamps are the latest soc...Read More
Deciding to adopt a pet is always an easy decision (who doesn’t love adorable fluffy animals?) but becomes a mush more difficult one when other people, such as a boyfriend or girlfriend, are involved.
When adopting a pet together, there are many things to consider. Who will take care of feeding, grooming, and veterinary vis...Read More
The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce Valley takes care of many stray dogs and cats, and predictably, has seen many tragic endings to animal lives. However, sometimes the pets they shelter find good homes-- and in an utterly astonishing case related on their Facebook page, are happily reunited the family that once had to give them up in the f...Read More

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab center. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in—even sleeping ...Read More
Taking the opportunity to adopt a new dog or cat can be overwhelming, stressful, and eventful all at the same time. While bringing home an adopted pet can be a good thing in the long run, there are a few things that you can do before you pick them up, the first few nights, and in the long run that will help both you and your new pet ease into th...Read More
What's so great about fostering a dog or cat? For one thing you will get heaping amounts of love and attention for your foster pet. These pets just want to belong to a loving family and will go out of their way to show their appreciation. And of course if you decide to turn being a foster parent into a full-time owner/parent, then yo...Read More

At the top of the list is, of course, volunteering at the local shelter. Even a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday once a month will be appreciated. W...Read More
Did You Know: We are guessing that the general public is not aware of how doomed black dogs are when they are brought to a pound because black dogs, particularly black labs or lab mixes, are euthanized at a horrifying rate at many pounds & shelters because people pass them up for lighter colored dogs. If you are thinking a...Read More
I hope that none of you have ever lost a dog, or any other pet that you might have had.
I am sure that all of you must be familiar with the 'HomeAgain' program, where you have a microchip put just under the skin between the pet's shoulder blades so that you can identify it if it ever gets lost.
Dog and cat microchipping...Read More
Thanks to the efforts of local advocates, many Wisconsin pet stores have signed The Humane Society of the United States' puppy friendly pet store pledge — committing not to sell puppies, but instead support local animal adoption programs and provide literature that helps customers learn how to locate a reputable breeder. The HSUS applauds ...Read More
Here are two stories that I am sure will have all of you readers wondering how anyone could do such a terrible thing.
As you see one story is when they found the poor animal, and the other is when the story comes to a very sad end.
Someone must have either had some feelings of remorse or just found the p...Read More
It’s a new year, time for fresh starts. Perhaps you have been thinking about adopting a cat or dog and are considering adopting from a shelter. Maybe you even want a purebred that your best friend has, which you are secretly jealous of?
Should you get a pet?
The first things to consider when thinking about adopting a pet are:

If you're like me and decided to stay as far away from the malls as possible this weekend, there still may be some sales for you! Many retailers have saved some discounts for the Monday post-Thanksgiving shoppers, and Bringpetshome.com has partnered with many of them to raise money for animal shelters all over the US.&n...Read More

Many people don’t know this, but black dogs and cats statistically have a harder time getting adopted. This means that more black dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters than any other animal.
There’s a lot of speculation as to why this is. Some people think that their dark coats make it harder for people to notice ...Read More
Who can resist puppies and kittens? They are so full of life, those bouncy little furballs who want to play all the time, that you just can't help but smile at. You think that these little animals will do nothing but bring you fun and happiness. And to a degree, that's true. Until you think about tha...Read More

PURPOSE AND REASON
“You know,” Barbara says, “Lots of people tell me they could never do my job because they love animals too much. They couldn’t stand to see them in this condition. Others think we just play with the animals all day. No one sees the hard work, the things we see and go through e...Read More

This Old Cat
I'm getting on in years,
My coat is turning gray.
My eyes have lost their luster,
My hearing’s just okay.
I spend my day dreaming
Of conquests in my past,
Lying near a sunny window
Waiting for its warm repast.
I remember our first visit,
I was coming to you free,
Hoping you would take m...Read More
For most of us, a four legged friend is a great companion to come home to, pet, someone to go running with, and give attention. And who doesn’t love the dog licking us or cat playfully biting our ankles as we walk by? For those that had an animal growing up, I’m sure you have a couple of fun stori...Read More

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER CHANCE
Around midday, the animals all sit in their cages, waiting for the public to arrive. It’s another day, another chance, to possibly find a new family. Barbara and Stephanie change into beige-colored scrubs and prepare for an afternoon of paperwork and photocopying instead of cleaning an...Read More
Awhile back, I discovered a really great site called AnimalRescueSite.com. It is truly innovative because it takes the concept of internet ads that generate revenue per click and turns this into food for starving animals. Another perk--it doesn't cost site visitors a penny to help!

WHAT IT TAKES TO LIVE
I know the shelter is not a no-kill establishment, so I hesitate to ask Barbara about its policy on euthanasia. She smiles, and I can tell it’s one of the things she’s proud of about her job. Of the animals that Barbara euthanizes, the first to go are those posing a danger to the publi...Read More

THE BUSINESS OF ADOPTION
I return in the afternoon when the shelter is open to the public and I’m greeted by an adoption wrapping up. Barbara laughs and smiles despite the constant stress that seems to be a characteristic of employment at the shelter. A small black and white puppy whose cage I had watched being c...Read More

DIRTY JOBS
It’s hard to show emotion — to find the time to mourn or express frustration or anger — when there’s so much work to be done before 1 p.m., when the shelter opens to the public. The three employees (sometimes two when they’re short-staffed, which is often) arrive at 8 a.m. and d...Read More

JADED
The cat and arrow is just one example of all the things Barbara has seen at the shelter, and that any employee would see if they worked ten and a half hour days, four days a week there. Barbara showed me photos of “mild” cases of animal abuse they’ve dealt with in the past: a cat with a large ne...Read More

CLARITY FROM HINDSIGHT
Impulse, snap decisions, spontaneity. Those are the things that often bring animals into the shelter in the first place, or bring them back a second time if people adopt them, and then decide they cannot care for the animal for one reason or another. I learn the stories of dozens of the shelter a...Read More
Most people never see behind the scenes, after hours, at an animal shelter. They have no idea what shelter staff experience, or what it's like caring for so many attention-starved, homeless animals. I wanted to find out, so I spent a day at one. What I discovered changed my perception of shelters forever and made by heart burst with admiration f...Read More
Whenever you move furniture or place something new in your room, what do your cats do? If they’re as curious as mine, they always have to check it out. If I’m packing my suitcase or reorganizing my closet, they make themselves a temporary bed. Even if you’re aware that your cats enjoy getting into things, you should still remem...Read More
This is a story that will make you appreciate your dog's loyalty more than ever.
Ella the Rottweiler was found on the side of the road in central Tennesse by an animal rescue worker who was used to finding abandoned pets in the area. However, something about this dog didn't fit the usual profile, especially the collection of personal effe...Read More
After reading a horrific story online about how some kid in Pennsylvannia wrapped a cat's entire body in duct tape, I started to wonder if there were any decent animal-loving people left in this world.
So I started searching for a happy animal story and thankfully I found one! Recently a local Massachusetts animal shelter found themselv...Read More
One of the reasons I love walking through local neighborhoods with my dogs in the evenings is the interesting people we pass. It's a guilty pleasure, for sure. What other time of day, when the weather has cooled, the sun has dipped in the sky, and families are coming together after spending their days at work and school, do you get to see so muc...Read More
The day after my parents' new puppy Gracie arrived, my brother Jeremy and I went with our mom to get a kitten to play the role of Gracie's best friend. We ended up going to CCAPs Second Chances thrift store in Magnolia, Arkansas. That's where I got my own Siamese Mix 6 years ago.
There were several cats there, but mom was looking for one ...Read More
On occasion, I like to browse the Pets section of Craigslist. I’ve always been an animal lover, and shelter animals really tug at my heartstrings. Craigslist has a policy of only allowing rehoming of pets on its site — no animal sales by breeders. One day in January, on a whim, I typed “...Read More
City dwellers have to get used to living in small spaces, especially those who live in San Francisco or New York City, the most expensive cities in the country. One has to pay for all the culture and excitement at their fingertips, and it usually means (unless you've done very well for yourself) that you are living in an apartment the size...Read More
This is going to be an exciting weekend for a pet lover such as myself. My step-dad who recently lost his dachshund in a tragic way (it drowned) got a surprise dachshund puppy for his birthday. Most of the family was there and was in on the surprise. Me, being the financially struggling but creative one in the family, gave him a nice cost-eff...Read More
Has anyone ever had two pets at different times with the same name? I have.
The first time was when I was still living in South Carolina, and I was on my way to work. I was just pulling out of this side road onto Highway 601 when I happened to look over and saw this tiny black and white kitten in the grass on the other side of the...Read More

It started in a local animal hospital with a dog in need and a good samaritan wanting to help save one. This small event in his life led Dan Taylor to launch a national campaign, appropriately titled today, the “Save One” campaign. With a small group of veterinarians and animal enthusiasts, Dan ran with his passion to help animals in...Read More
The day that I found Precious, I couldn't have been more surprised. I was walking home one day, and I happened to look down. I saw this cardboard box that was turned upside down in the dirt right beside the sidewalk. I thought that I heard something, so I moved it. Low and Behold! there was this tiny puppy laying there. It couldn't h...Read More
LaStupida came into our lives in a very unexpected way. The neighbors next door had just moved out. They had left her and several more sheep behind to come back and get later.
Unfortunately, we had gone into town one day and when we got back, we had a bad surprise waiting on us. A pack of dogs had gotten on the neighbor's prop...Read More
