Adopting Pets: Boxer Rescue Ontario

“Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats” (Pet Statistics). Many animals are rescued and taken to shelters all around the United States. These shelters provide all the resources and take care of the animals until they are well or adopted. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA, is a non-profitable organization that is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty. You should donate money to the ASPCA or even adopt a pet if able to because it provides money to the animals to give them the necessities they need, it supports the animals that have been poorly treated, and it helps get animals out of poor

In the United States, about 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters every year. The overpopulation of these animals and the fact that they have no homes leads to about 40% of them being euthanized (ASPCA). This is a global issue, but the root of it can be found within the local community at The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.

There are two types of programs that have been implemented. The first one is that the inmates are ultimately in control of these animals and get the chance to train and provide shelter for the animal. This program was a big help for when hurricane Katrina and Gustav hit those areas. They were able to take some of those animals in and help them so that shelters would not become overpopulated. The rescued animals are cared for by the inmates in a separated area from the inmate housing. The second program is located at Madison Correctional facility in Indiana. Here they pair rescued dogs up with inmates. There is also a handler that is provided for training and care for the dog. Each unit has different expectations for house for cats and dogs. Dogs are crated and can be let out at any hour to do their business. Cats on the other hand are litter boxed trained. They both have outdoor areas that are provide for them to have activities. The cat’s units are more specialized with climbing post. These two programs rescue on their own they do not pair up with another organization that rescues. When they do rescue they look for animals that tend to have more issues than others. According to (Nevada Law Journal (2013), “One correctional institution in Northwest Indiana had a general training program for animals from a rescue organization, but also provided dog-training for the general public. This

We spend thousands of dollars annually in providing medicine, treatment, spay and neuter surgeries, vaccinations and microchips for dogs and cats to help them on their journey towards a new home and life. Keeping them healthy, finding new homes or rescue partners to take them in requires much effort and determination on our part.

Yes, we need financial help for the necessities and medical care of animals. So, if you can't adopt them this is one of the best way to help them. This will be a huge help for us and animals in shelter.

Although their mission statement is addressed to the welfare of all animals, this organization shelters and provides care for dogs and cats only. The shelter does not accept stray animals, but rather focuses on giving suggestions and alternatives to people who are thinking about releasing their pets to shelters, such as providing veterinary care or animal behavior classes. If people do not wish to do this, then they can release their ownership of their pets to the shelter, and the organization will provide the dog or cat with food, water, housing, and veterinary needs. Animals who enter into the organization’s care will receive housetraining and the social skills necessary in order for them to be adopted into a home. The organization claims that there is an unlimited amount of space in their shelters, and in 2014, 6,995 dogs and cats were adopted with an adoption rate of 90%. The shelters of the organization are not kill shelters and will house the animals under their care for as long as

Chester Springs, PA- Did you know that Main Line Animal Rescue (MLAR) receives no federal, state or local funding? MLAR relies solely on donors, volunteers and those open to adopting a new pet.

My family and I helped by fostering animals. Fostering animals is when you take these animals into your home and care for them like they are yours until they are adopted. The length of time these animals are

CARE South Coast-An all volunteer, no-kill animal shelter in Acushnet, MA. Our physical shelter has cats only, while our dogs can be seen in foster homes by appointment. The better stories are when people are moving to an apartment or across the country and can't take their pet, the better people will bring their cat or kitten to a place like CARE. But even then some people just let them out and leave. And the really sad stories are when they just leave them in a carrier or box on the side of the road. It is so sad to see these poor cats and kittens abandoned because they were once love and now they have no one. But once you adopted one then they just are so much happier. On my board I have some picture of cats before and after adoption.

These foster parents will take care of the animal, by giving it veterinary assistance, feeding it, and caring for it in order to make the animal healthy as well as making it feel loved. By the time that is done the animal will soon be up for adoption and ready to meet a new family who will treat it with kindness and love. The Rescue Project will do extensive research on the family who is planning to adopt, that way they can make sure the animal goes to a caring

Adopting a shelter pet can be difficult, but you just have to remember that it’ll be worth it in the end. “You’ll have a relationship with your pet for many years to come, so it’s worth being patient and taking your time to carefully consider what kind of pet-big or small, energetic or relaxed, older or younger-is right for you” (The Adoption Process). When you are going to the adoption shelter, you need to be prepared for the workers to ask you many questions about your housing situation, how many children you have, other pets you may have, etc. They will be asking you these question just to make sure that your future pet will have a good and well-treated

According to the Human Society’s website, there are over 2.7 million adoptable cats and dogs that are euthanized each year.

You may be wondering, how can I help, or, why should I help? Helping to stop animal cruelty and to spread the word about animal rights can also save humans too. Believe it or not, many animals become more aggressive after suffering from animal cruelty, which can lead to animals biting and scratching humans. Giving even a little money to your local humane society can help organizations rescue animals from animal cruelty, and can help trainers train the dogs to be more loving towards humans before being put up for adoption. If you don 't have money to give, you could volunteer to work at your humane society and care for all the animals in need of

Since 2013, shelters have seen a ten percent drop in adoptions and a fifteen percent increase in euthanasia of cats and dogs, according to department records. As of November, sixty-six percent of animals that entered shelters in 2015 were euthanized (Victoria Advocate). I have been rescuing animals since I was a child, and hurts to see how millions are being euthanized in shelters because people would rather buy “new” pets instead of “second-hand”. Have you ever thought of what is happening to

One way you could spread the word is through hanging up fliers. These fliers could be to promote upcoming events that are being held at the local shelter or of animals that are up for adoption. Next, you could follow your local shelter?s social media profiles and continue to share their posts. Most times animal shelters will post about animals that are up for adoption; the more times these posts are shared, the more likely people who are considering adoption will see them. Additionally, if you have a car and don?t mind driving, shelters usually need volunteers to help transport animals to vet appointments or to rescue facilities. This is a unique way of using some of your free time to help animals in need. Lastly, you can volunteer at a local shelter to walk dogs or pet cats. If you own a dog or just been around one, you know that they need a lot of attention, exercise, and socialization. This is usually doesn?t get done enough, if there is no help from volunteers. Same for cats, volunteers are needed to pet, play, and interact with them to help them get ready to be in a new
