Animal Shelters (ASPCA) And The Humane Society Of The United States

“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

Imagine walking into an animal shelter, seeing the dogs and cats locked up behind bars wanting to be adopted. At an animal shelter, homeless animals are continuously looking for a home everywhere. An animal shelter in Ohio is CHA animal shelter, they are a nonprofit organization. They provide temporary care and shelter for cats and dogs and try their best to find them a loving home. Also, they provide surgery to spay or neuter the animal, and give the animal it’s required shots. Adding to, they provide an implanted microchip so the owner can track their animal if it is ever lost. CHA animal shelter has also provided a public website to view pictures of the cats and dogs and a brief background on the animal. They also have an option for donations for emergency situations, food, and supply, etc. The fact that they offer donations is remarkable because some individuals do not want to adopt a pet, but want to be apart of promoting adoption and give support to the organization. Not only does the organization try to make the pet’s life the best at the animal shelter, but CHA also hosts events to get people’s interest and gives the animals time out of the cage. I have adopted a dog from an animal shelter and it has been the best decision ever. Knowing I saved animals live brought more joy and love into my life, and nevertheless, he is the best little jack russel ever. Although I could have got a puppy from Petland, the choice of adopting a dog not only saved me money but also allowed me to save his life as well and improve his quality of life. An individual who adopts a pet is rescuing it from neglect and is giving that precise animal a second chance. In conclusion, I believe that CHA animal shelter is the best place to adopt a pet because it is less expensive than buying an animal from a pet store, it decreases puppy mills, and the individual can pick a dog or cat of any age.

Animals that enter shelters are either lost pets that don’t have ID tags or microchips or stray and feral animals who have never known the love of a human.

When most people think about Animal Control shelters, it usually negative. Animal control shelters get an unjust reputation of just being a place where unwanted, problem dogs go to be euthanized. I mean, you call the your local animal control office when you see a stray dog hanging around the neighborhood, right? They show up in a van or truck driven by a uniformed officer who carries a scary looking pole with a loop on it to catch animals. Well, there’s more to your local animal control shelter than just catching stray dogs and cats.

Have you ever been watching tv and the ASPCA commercial comes on, you know the one that has the song “Arms of an Angle.” The commercial makes you feel super sad for the poor animals that have been abused and victimized because of cruel behavior. They ask you to donate money to help these animals recover. What if when these animals do recover they were turned into Service animals. This is a matter of great concern in our community because we could help get most, if not all the animals adopted into a loving home. In order to understand the issue more completely, I looked at turning shelter animals into service animals. Other members of my Group project are looking at TNR/Euthanasia, Physiological aspects of owning a shelter animal, and Worldwide

An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost, abandoned, or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife, are brought. Animal shelters are essential in the United States because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners. Apart from accountable breeders, owners should spay or neuter their pets to stop the serious overpopulation problem, which is happening in the United States. Shelters do not treat or stop the problem of unwanted pets but without them the stray pet population would be astronomical. There would be more problems with disease spread and an increased incidence of stray animal-induced injuries. A shelter should also be a domicile where animals could be benign and feel loved and taken care of; not just a drop off. The shelter in my community tries to do their best with their animals, but I feel that the shelter needs to be able to do their jobs better and for the animals to feel comfortable.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. The organization was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law. The ASPCA is a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and has more than 2 million supporters across the country. It started in New York City and maintains a strong local presence, and now has programs that extend their anti-cruelty mission across the country.

Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.

On 06/03/17, at 12:20pm, I Deputy Warden N. Christian was dispatched to Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) 3015 Scioto Darby Executive Court on dogs being held, no known owner. I arrived at the location spoke to CAHS employees who stated that the will be releasing two dogs to me. A black/white Dachshund and a brown/white medium mix breed. I had a CAHS employee complete an animal release form. I placed both dogs in my vehicle. I was previously advised that the Dachshund had a microchip number ( 0A10361570). I had Franklin County Animal Care and Control (FCACC) Dispatcher C. Grim to contact the microchip company to confirm information provided to me by CAHS employees. FCACC Dispatcher C. Grim was unable to get in contact with the microchip

Imagine being a staff member or a volunteer at an animal shelter. Imagine watching day in and day out as animals passed through your doors, the unmistakeable scent of desolation and grief filling the room like a tidal wave. Imagine standing in front of the donation jar, counting the measly offerings, and hoping they added up to at least five dollars. Ravalli County should do more to encourage adoption of impounded animals, and supply more resources for, the Bitterroot Humane Association. The BItterroot Humane Association is our local “pound” that takes in lost, abandoned, abused, or unwanted companions. They provide pet owners with an outlet should they ever not be able to take care of their animals. Then, these pets are placed back into loving homes, making everyone happy. With a limited budget, they have to care for many, many animals. The Bitterroot Humane Association does not give animals a “time limit” for being put down. Some shelters in Missoula, for example, euthanize their residents if they do not find homes soon enough. Many animals at the kill shelters are very loving and sweet, and deserve a little more time to adjust. At no kill shelters, such as the Bitterroot Humane Association, they are not put down. Several of the dogs and cats have been there for a long time, which is definitely hard on them. Finally, the humane association also helps other animals in

This organization also helps raise money for shelters and wildlife organizations.

by taking them from owners who abuse them, neglect them, and don't take care of them. They also take animals out of centers that have them living in terrible conditions and put in overcrowded kennels and rooms. These animals are then helped with any bodily or emotional problems they might have, before sending them to be adopted by a new family. The people all across the United States who support them is where most of the funding comes from. The another funds the ASPCA receive are from other organizations who support what they are doing. To the right is a picture from ASPCA.com that shows how many shelters they own and how many companion animals they put into the shelters for adoption. Nearly 3.9 million of those animals are dogs and 3.4 million are cats. The other .3 million animals are different kinds of animals other than dogs and cats. The ASPCA have saved the lives of millions of animals and have allowed millions of people to adopt a new companion that can be apart of a family they never

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

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

The Humane Society takes care of ANY animal. Your animal could be a Dog, cat, pig, guinea pig, ferrets, fish, rats, rabbits, dolphins, sheep, turkeys, bats, etc. If your animal is injured or has bad health they take them in and try to fix them. When or if your animal does not get better the workers will put down the animal. Otherwise the Humane Society is a No Kill Shelter. Some people do not focus on the care well then maybe that person would want to adopt an animal.
