A Note From Randal
******************

Hello Everyone,

I want to share a place with you that is nearby where we live. It's a no-kill shelter that provides a sanctuary for homeless dogs and cats. My wife and I have been involved with a few animal welfare organizations over the years and this one really impresses us because it's super clean and the organizational / administrative structure takes care of the details. The dogs have volunteers to walk and feed them so they can develop relationships with somebody until they find their forever home. It's heartwarming to know these places exist. Let me introduce you to Caring for Creatures:

Caring For Creatures is situated on 157 beautiful and secluded acres in the rural countryside of central Virginia. We are located approximately 35 miles southeast of Charlottesville and 65 miles west of Richmond, VA.

At any given time CFC is home to 200 animals: on average we have 55 dogs in residence and 145 cats. Each animal is spayed or neutered. If a CFC animal is not adopted, he or she may live out their life at the sanctuary. They do not euthanize animals to create additional space.

If you can't adopt a pet of your own, you can sponsor one at Caring for Creatures. A sponsor is an individual or group of individuals that is willing to financially support an animal on a monthly basis. Each sponsor receives a Sponsorship Certificate with a photograph of their "adopted" animal along with a brief resume and history about them. Your donation is tax-deductible too!

Until next time,


Randal

Rabbits As House Pets - By Dr. Marty Becker

Did you know that many people keep rabbits in their home as house bunnies? They do so because rabbits make great animal companions.

Rabbits live up to 10 years and are intelligent and affectionate pets. They can live inside the house in a large cage and, if properly trained, can learn to use a litter box and live out of their cage. Avoid pine and cedar shavings in litter boxes as these are suspected of causing liver problems in rabbits. Spaying and neutering of house rabbits is recommended. Male un-neutered rabbits will spray urine for scent marking and altered male and female rabbits are believed to be easier to litter train.

What To Do When You Find a Stray Dog or Cat

You're in your car, heading somewhere or other, a long list of things to accomplish and already running late. Suddenly, you see him—a dog, there, by the side of the road. With a sinking feeling, you realize he's alone. Your car is coming alongside him now. You have only seconds in which to act. But what should you do?

Need Help With A Hyper Dog?

This is our most popular story from working with animals at our shop:

We had a couple who used herbs and had a hyper Rottweiler that would race to the door to "greet" anybody that visited. With an in-home business and customers picking up orders, this family needed some calming herbs for the dog. They began giving him VALERIAN ROOT and in about a week, the dog knew he needed it. Anytime they would grab a bottle of herbs, whether for themselves or him, the dog would come running and beg for a capsule. Most pets' instincts are still tuned in to nature. If you've got a hyper cat or dog, try Valerian Root. http://www.theherbsplace.com/valerian.html

Comments on Soothing Mist from a customer:

"My dog has had a problem with compulsively chewing his back near his tail. I've tried several things and they don't seem to work for long. I saw Soothing Mist on Healthy Pet Corner's site and decided to give it a try. The herbs in it sounded very soothing and healing. I added some Tea Tree Oil because I like to deter fleas. I've used a spray of Lavender and Tea Tree to prevent fleas for years, but he always ran from me when I wanted to spray him. When I get the bottle of Soothing Mist, he comes to me and sits still, so I think he knows it's helping him. I've been using it on my cat that has skin issues also and it's been doing good." Robin
