These teams of dogs carried the antiserum from Nenana to Nome. William Shannon picked up the serum in Nenana from the steam train that had brought it from Anchorage.

“While showing the love the dogs has brought great attention to our organization, we realized we can do more for the animal community as well. This epidemic has risen in recent years and needs to be recognized.”

Emergency Rescue and Rehabilitation – This is the most cost intensive part of our work, and the aspect that often requires fast funding so we can act quickly to provide emergency medical care and rescue services. Through negotiation, collaboration, and legal assistance when necessary, we get animals removed from abusive environments. We work to get animal cruelty laws enforced. Animals rescued from severe abuse and neglect usually have severe health challenges, frequently related to starvation, dehydration, and physical abuse. First priority is major medical care, medicine as needed, and good nutrition. Our organization does not use cages or chains. The dogs have roaming space in fenced acres, allowing them to exercise and run off their stress as

I decided to research this topic as I have always been interested in animals and want to pursue a career working with animals. After watching a captivating news clip on assistance dogs it was clear this was going to be the topic I would investigate for my research project.

First I get the soft foods since they aren't really able to jew the hard foods. I put the medication in the bowl with the soft foods mix it around and let the dog eat it. Also i've been walking around the hospital with the doctor looking at the animals just the basic procedure looking how at how they are doing making sure they're not in any pain. Also once we went to the x-ray room to get an x-ray on a dog's foot that had been injured. The doctor told to be extremely careful when handling an injury such as a sprained or broken bone because the animals bones are more fragile than ours. When the results came in ot said that the dog had a sprain and that it needed a little cast which i thought was pretty kinda cute. Some changes i had to do for my project was that at first for my senior project I had to change locations which was really stressful because some animal hospitals I had to be 18 years old to be able to volunteer. Som troubles I ran into was travel time because the animal hospital I am volunteering is in

At Chicago Canine Rescue, if a dog is not adopted, the dog will continue to have the rest of his or her life at the shelter. Even though Chicago Canine Rescue is a no kill shelter, overall, most shelters are not. According to pet statistics, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized each year (aspca.org). If a shelter does not believe a canine is likely to be adopted, running out of space, or are too sick, they are the power to decide that dogs fate. Receiving dogs that are in need every two weeks leads to shelters becoming

It was the year 2006 and Juan Amaris was almost done with his second tour in Iraq when his life was about to change forever. A truck exploded in front of him and he suffered third degree burns that covered over 73% of his body. He was rushed to the hospital and had to have one arm amputated, and has lost his other arm since. He also suffered chest and back injuries and is no longer able to bend his neck. As a result of these horrific injuries, he had trouble doing everyday actions such as dressing, eating, and picking things up. His doctor prescribed him a service dog so he asked an organization by the name of Patriot PAWS for a service dog. In return, he was given a dog by the name of Maverick. Maverick has helped Juan to reclaim his life

Eating very little or nothing at all: Animals are not too different from humans when it comes to how they respond to illness. For example, when people are not feeling well, eating may be the last thing they want to do. Pets can react the same way when they

One day you get up and do your normal routine. You let the dog out to do his business, you brush your teeth, brush your hair and get dressed. You let the dog in and walk into your kitchen. You feed the dog then make yourself something for breakfast. The dog lays on the couch without eating. Not thinking anything of it, you watch TV and throw a load of laundry in the washer. Noon comes around and still the dog is just lying there, sleeping. You check the bowl of food and notice it hasn’t been touched. You wonder why but disregard concern for the time being. You run errands in town then return home to the dog that still hasn’t moved or eaten a bite. It’s now 4pm and concern kicks in! The dog jumps up for the first time today, but not to eat. Instead he runs over toward the door and throws up. At this point you have no doubt something is wrong. You rush the dog into the veterinarian hospital to get him checked. Only after being there a few moments long you’re told the dog has the Parvo Virus! The first thought when discussing how to save the dog’s life is “I’ll do whatever it takes”. You’re second thought is money! The amount of money to save his life is more then you have in the bank. What are going to do? Little did you know there is a solution! It’s called Care Credit and it will cover all expenses, all you have to do is pay it back in small payments until paid in full. At the time yes this sounds like the perfect solution but what you’re not told is

The very first thing you will hear is Sarah McLahlan's song " In the Arms Of An Angel ". Have you noticed that every American including most likely everyone in your household who has ever watched television, automatically associate this song with the pictures that are depicted in the commercial. They want you to remember the dead and sick animals they show you every time you hear and see it. It hits home as you look at your pets and wonder how they would be if they lived the lives that these animals on this commercial live. They start with facts about animals in need and hope that latches you onto the commercial with more interest or just care for the pictures they show. Though if the pictures are not enough they bring Sarah onto the screen as the last measure in the commercial to tell you that you need to donate to the disadvantaged or lost animals in need, all to keep you viewing.

I looked out upon Gigi for the first time in five months through a lobby window. She had officially completed her training at The Seeing Eye to become a service dog for the blind. I had assembled with the others who had worked for fourteen months to raise her. This was where she began her test of skills for placement as a service dog.
