I'm a sucker for the older ones. Like the Dapple Doxie that was 'Dropped off' in the middle of the road. I was sitting in my van listening for my 'cat cages' to catch some Feral cats. The poor doggie had mammery tummers on both of her sides, it took us over 2hrs. to remove what we could. She had 5 more operations as the cancer keep spreading, the ... Read Morepoor dog was just used for breeding. When she couldn't be breed any more & with all the money she made who ever owned her, they threw her away. She lived with us another 7yrs., she died at home in my sons arms, probley with the only person who ever loved her.
I ALWAYS take any animal I have adoped out back if the owner can't keep them, 2 yrs. ago I took back a 14yr. old cat. so at 16 she's doing very well. Our Shelter knowes I'll take in any older cat that hasn't been adopted. We have a group that takes in many of the older dogs, if you live around Ca., Az. or in the Southwest, call 'Muttmatchers'. We even deliver...LOL. They have been working over 30 yrs. saving the older dogs, I take the older cat calls they get. They have a small shelter, but many are 'Fostered' in private homes. If you can't find their number e-mail me & I'll get in touch with them for you.

There is a responsibility on the person adopting the pet to make sure they are getting the animal from a reputable rescue. There are, sadly, some organizations out there that claim they are rescuing, when really they are brokering puppies for mills. Do references - if something makes you feel uneasy - like the fact they didn't ask you any questions, or get you to fill out an application, then move on another organization. There is no need to make hasty and bitter generalizations on all rescues.

Kera, you should crate him with a Kong! He'll learn, but you must be patient and steadfast! Start out slowly when you're home, an hour at a time . . . takes work, but you can do it!

Yup, having a parrot will turn you green faster than anything else I've ever known! NO Lysol, air "fresheners," plug-ins, NO Teflon, NO chemical carpet cleaner stuff, and no using the Clean cycle on your oven, either! No scented candles!
Teflon is toxic to everyone anyway. No one should use Teflon, likewise Glade, Airwick and all that.
