Anyone ever consider a career path in animal care? Times have changed. Remember the days of the old city pound where all of the animals met their fate? Well.....now there are shelters such as ours that provide much more than rescue. We provide health care to our animal residents, low cost veterinary services to the... public animal population and so much more. The world needs more veterinarians, vet technicians, and animal care professionals. Check out the responsibilities of a vet tech.Read More

Discussion Please... In the past several weeks we have had three previously adopted dogs returned because the owners could not afford veterinary care. One was "hit by car", another was severe bladder stones causing peeing (featured pic), and the last was a GI obstruction because the dog ate a blanket. It is in our c...ontract that veterinary care in emergencies and sickness are part of adoption. We are paying for the emergency care and placing the dogs for re-adoption. Your thoughts on this issue? Fundraising is tough without this added expense.Read More

Is it expressly asked how adopters will plan for health care costs? Will they carry a savings plan or have a major credit card with a higher limit? If people were not irresponsible and in humane our shelters would not be over run with cats and dogs .Persons of little means find or have ways while some others as stated have no clue because they are ... Read Morenot serious about adoption. I agree screening financial records would be a nightmare. But talking preparedness may make people think of possibilities..who knows! It may thwart a few adoptions but raising awarness would seem to help the return situations some.

The sad element of sheltering is the selection of animals by adopters. There are the ones that always get "passed over". They are either too old, too large, too energetic, or too something. The dumping age of dogs is typically "teenagers" in the 7-8 month age range. This is a tough age, but also rewarding. Not eve...ry dog can be a whatever-a-poo. Meet Harry. He is medium sized but full of energy. He is a return and he is a teenager.Read More

I love all dogs but larger ones seem to be my favorite, Personality is the most important thing as well as need when adopting for me anyway. I have a small pet sitting business and on my cards is a poem one line says "I have hugs for all kinds of mugs " big or small we love them all" That sums it up!
