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

Hello Everyone,

Hope you and your pets are able to stay cool and comfortable during this hot time of the year. So many people don't realize the dangers of heat when it comes to their pets. To that end, I have included an article below from the Humane Society about pets in hot cars. I am sure most of you know this information already, but please make a point to share it with friends and maybe even keep copies in your car so if you see a hot pet in a shopping center you can slip in a copy through the window. The hot pet will be glad you did!

Thanks for helping us to grow, without you we couldn't do it.

Until next time,

Randal

Best Friend Forgotten: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Homeless Animals in America

It stars a lovable dog named Clover and an adorable cat called Oreo, it's hosted by David Duchovny of X-Files fame, and it could be coming to a station near you. Best Friend Forgotten, a compelling documentary that follows Clover and Oreo through two different U.S. shelters, is slated to air on PBS this fall. But the film needs your help to ensure that its important message reaches your community.

Directed by American filmmaker Julie Lofton, Best Friend Forgotten takes a behind-the-scenes look at the crisis of pet overpopulation. The statistics are staggering: in every community in America, dogs and cats by the hundreds and thousands are left homeless through no fault of their own. Only a fraction of these hopeful animals find good homes.

Clover and Oreo are two such hopefuls, examples of the kinds of highly adoptable pets that make their way into U.S. shelters every day. Clover was taken in from the streets of Los Angeles while Oreo was found in a Chicago tenement building. After being rescued by animal control officers, each is taken to a local shelter.

Hot Cars Are Trouble for Pets

We've all seen dogs and other companion animals left in cars outside of stores while their well-meaning guardians "run in for a few minutes." What these otherwise caring people don't realize is that on a hot and humid day, the temperature inside a car rises very quickly. On an 85° day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102° within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120°. On warmer days, it will get even hotter. Every year pets left in this situation suffer irreversible brain damage or death.

The HSUS has educational posters, available for a nominal fee ($3 for 10, $5 for 25), that store managers can post inside their windows to remind shoppers that "Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car Can be a Deadly Mistake." Similar, 4" x 9" hot car flyers are also available (50 for $3.00). Get the address to order and read a more in-depth article so you can be informed to talk to others. Help pets in your area this summer by spreading the word about this danger.

Running for Their Lives: The Realities of Greyhound Racing - By Rebecca Simmons

In the tenth century, King Howel of Wales declared that the penalty for killing a greyhound was the same as that of killing a person-death. In the days of the Egyptians, greyhounds were valued by the pharaohs for their grace, beauty and mild temperament. But in the 21st century greyhounds in the racing world are prized for only one thing-speed. In 2003 alone, an estimated 7,500 to 20,000 greyhounds were euthanized simply because they couldn't run fast enough.

It's is an industry that exists solely for the entertainment of humans-at the cost of animal lives. "Greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane and should be outlawed nationwide," says Carey Theil, president of GREY2K USA, a national anti-greyhound-racing group based in Massachusetts that has partnered with The HSUS and the ASPCA to form the National Greyhound Legislative Coalition.

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

HSUS Statement on Free-Roaming Cats

The Humane Society of the United States believes that every community has a legal and ethical responsibility to address problems associated with free-roaming domestic cats.

Free-roaming cats & owned cats allowed to go outside as well as stray and feral cats often are hit by cars or fall victim to disease, starvation, poisons, attacks by other animals, or mistreatment by humans. Free-roaming cats also prey on small mammals, songbirds, and other wildlife; spread zoonotic diseases such as rabies; defecate on other people's property; and cause car accidents, among other problems.

Cats, Dogs, And Smelly Carpet And Walls

"Pet Force really works! I recently purchased a large triple wide mobile on a basement, 4,960 square foot. A large home with lots and lots of carpet. The home previously had two unrully cats, two dogs, and who knows how many mice! I used the steam cleaner on the rug and spray bottle for the walls at 4 ounces per gallon. The house smells fresh! Thanks Flint River! It would have cost a lot to replace walls and carpet for this home!" Kathy/Colorado

Sissy Cat Brings Solace To Gravely Ill - By Bill Wundram

Animals have supernatural senses.
.
"We know it's true," says Pat Oostendorp, activity director at Ridgecrest Village, Davenport, who has tracked a dozen cases where a pet tiger cat named Sissy Cat has seemed to know when a patient is near death.
.
"Sissy has sensed death with that many patients that I know of. When a person is terminally ill - we'd say actively dying - that psychic cat will plant herself in the person's room and stay until the patient's death. That can be for days and days, but she will climb on their bed, or sit in the chair with them," Pat says.
.
Becky Blumer, director of nursing, agrees: "It's uncanny."
