The Human Society Of San Diego

The purpose of this proposal is to make aware of a large problem the city is facing due to pet over-population and how to resolve without taking the lives of these domesticated animals due to flaws in our laws, community out-reach, and lack of information out there to help pet owners spread across our city. The problem facing our city is that shelters are filled to capacity everyday with the majority being lost or stray animals and the only resolutions would be to either put down close to 100 animals a day or once in a while collaborate with rescues to send then out to other states in need of adoptable animals. However, the solution is right in front of us. By working with local rescues, animals wouldn’t need to be sacrificed and with proper information and assistance with spay/neuter programs, unwanted pets would be prevented, lowering the need for euthanizing.

I am a certified volunteer for the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (the “Animal Shelter”). The primary role and responsibility of an Animal Shelter volunteer is to assist animal control officers with the handling and presenting of shelter animals to the general public for potential adoption. The time I’ve spent at the Animal Shelter has been extremely rewarding, so much so that I feel it is a privilege to “work” for the Animal Shelter. I am fortunate to be able to help and comfort animals looking for a human and interact with people looking for a new family member.

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.

Last year I adopted a rescue dog. She is a Labrador retriever mix that was a day away from being euthanized at a Texas Animal Shelter that wasn’t a no kill shelter. Her and her brothers were abandoned near birth. A lady, who was active in the rescue community, cut her vacation short and traveled to Texas to retrieve the litter. She brought them back to Nebraska where I was lucky enough to bring Daisy into my life. Though Daisy has eaten six memory foam pillows, four remote controls, the linoleum in the kitchen and parts of the carpet, I wouldn’t trade her for anything. I am honored to be able to provide her with a good home and love. As discussed in the Civic Engagement video, we don’t just get a free ride in our society and we have a responsibility to give back in some way (2015). Caring for a pet not only promotes a better world to live in but it teaches responsibility and compassion which can carry over into other aspects of one’s life. Responsibility will assist in citizens being accountable for their actions, give a sense of duty, and help one remain just when being placed in a position of power. Compassion will allow for our citizens to be concerned with sufferings or misfortunes of others. As you can see, the simple caring for a pet has the ability to promote a moral society as well as make the world a better place to live in. I took this opportunity to add an

The street that the humane society is on is sketchy, houses were run down. About every 5 to 6 houses were kept up. The people living there were grungy looking, some looked like they may or may not have been on drugs. The animals that the people owned barked all the time and even just walking around, not in a cage or even in the house. Some of the house’s doors were just open as if they didn’t care if someone did come in. With the place in a sketchy neighborhood, people aren’t willing to go to the humane society. People aren’t coming to the humane society to adopt the animals and the ones that do go are college students that aren’t supposed to have pets. Most of the students don’t have the money to keep the animal healthy anyways, they go just to have something to do with their

I am helping out as a volunteer at Philly ACCT (Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia) located at 111 W Hunting Park Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19140. Tons of animals are abandoned love during these precious times and I want to be the one to change that. I know what its like to have a family that despise you and try to belittle you. I have a dog myself but I would never dare do that to him. Animals and humans alike both have a heart that yearns for love so why do we abuse each other? At Philly ACCT you can be the change that can put a smile on an animals face once

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.

This rack card does not manipulate negative emotions, but rather, is relatable and informative, leaving the audience to interpret the quote for themselves and providing contact information if an individual is interested in animal shelter adoptions in New York. Although the delivery is much less emotionally intense than the typical pet adoption advertisements, this postcard is still able to elicit a sense of exigency in the intended audience. Instead of pressuring the audience to feel guilt for not saving an animal from a shelter, the ASPCA manipulated their advertisement to allow for the audience to think for themselves and make an educated decision about pet adoption, but no necessarily on their own terms. The month of October is emphasized as a national shelter adoption month, which may persuade some of the audience to feel the need to participate in that month

At the current moment, American shelters play host to far more animals then they can ever hope to place in a forever home. According to the ASPCA, noted animal rights group, every year, about 6.5 million dogs and

They have ways for people to get involved with not only the shelter but also the animals in need of homes. By using adorable pictures of puppies and kittens they get people to pick up the handout. There are stories of how people’s volunteer work has helped them feel a part of the community. This helps people want to get involved and make a difference. Its communication technique is through pictures aided with stories. Doing this helps the reader realize that these experiences happen to real pets and people. The flyer informs the readers of how they can make an impact in these precious animals’ lives. Each story exemplifies how much these animals deserve love and proper treatment. The bulletin reaches people who know little about animals but want to learn and adopt an animal

The Humane project is an aid to non-violent criminals to help prisoners state of mind while incarcerated. The name “Humane Project” came about because this organization will use local humane societies in that city or county to host these prisoners. Many Humane societies are nonprofit organizations that are run off of donations and volunteers. The problem that almost all humane societies have is quality time spent with the animals. The workers at the human societies have to focus on feeding, cleaning, and organizing the animals and they do not have time to spend quality time with the animals. The goal for the humane society is to get every animal out of the cage playing with visitors for at least thirty minutes a day but, the amount of visitors

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

Animal shelters are facilities “devoted to the temporary housing and care of homeless and unwanted pets” (Spector). They are the only places that willingly take care of these animals and find them loving homes. There have always been people dedicating themselves to protecting animals, but not with shelters as organized, professional, and successful as today. With about 165 million dogs and cats living in homes, twenty percent of them came from animal shelters (Winograd xi).

CHICO, Calif. September 29, 2015 – When you choose to adopt an animal from the Butte Humane Society, you are choosing to decrease the number of homeless animals, give the animal a permanent home, save money, and most importantly enjoying your new adoring companion.

Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of pet abandonment in Singapore. As Soon (2014) pointed out, it can be seen that ‘the number of the stray and abandoned dogs has been increasing by 20 to 30 per cent each year.’ This has resulted in a rise of animal welfare groups being registered (from seven to eleven) and the number of pet shelters available as in Singapore compared to five years ago. Even though there are now much more animal welfare groups and pet shelters available, there are concerns that there will not be enough funds to give proper care to the pets due to the increase in competition of welfare groups and pets shelters, and the expenditure to provide for the pets has also increased. Other than the concerns about the expenses to care for the pets, there are also concerns about the limited spaces in the pet’s shelters as the number of stray animals and abandonment pets has rise rapidly over the years. This critical review provide an analysis on the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Singapore: There’s No Better Friend. Adopt a dog campaign. It will present a
