Pet espousal discounts offered this weekend

Friday through Sunday, Bay County Animal Control is participating in National Pet Adoption Weekend and offering all of its more than 150 animals for adoption at almost half price. The typical adoption fee is $75, but a donation of $35 per animal adopted from Pet Smart Charities is allowing the shelter to offer the animals for $40 each to the public. Animal Control director Bill Olasin said the shelter has dogs and cats from a few weeks old to grown-up adults, and features a selection of breeds and sizes. “People have to get a pet that will fit into their household,” he said. Olasin said he encourages people to believe the animal’s size, age, energy and temperament when making a selection. Too often adopted animals return to the shelter because their new owner did not account for all the factors.

One of the many pet’s animal controls is hopeful to place this weekend is a 3-month-old female bulldog-chocolate Lab mix. The unnamed puppy was found by animal control officers at the back gate of their facility, swollen into a box that was taped shut. She was left in the 90-degree heat to fend for herself. “Thankfully one of our officers happened to be leaving by the back gate and found her. Otherwise she would’ve died of heat tiredness,” Olasin said.

The little dog trotted after Olasin for a few minutes in a playpen Thursday before collapsing into a tired heap at his feet, waiting to be picked up and carried back to her cage.

This is Bay County Animal Control’s 16th year participating in the partnership with Pet Smart Charities . Last year 32 pets were adopted and Olasin said he is positive more will find permanent homes this year. The event is typically the most popular time for adoptions each year.

Iowa City opposite funding gap for new animal shelter

Iowa City wants other communities in the area to fragment in for a new Animal shelter the city hopes to build in the next few years. The city is in the planning stages of a new Animal care facility. The previous shelter flooded in 2008 and the provisional facility is several miles south of town, which planners say discourages people from Adopting pets.

Stray animals from surrounding communities come to the shelter here, but only Iowa City is accountable for building and maintaining the facility. City council members at Monday night’s work session said other municipalities should appropriate money for the new $4 million facility. Planners have already safe about $2 million for the facility.

Pigeons supposedly killed by man with crutches in San Francisco's

A man was arrested for Animal cruelty Wednesday after he supposedly murdered pigeons with his crutches in the Polk Gulch neighborhood, police said Thursday. Concerned citizens called cops saying the suspect was attempting to kill pigeons in the area of Polk and California streets around 2:45 p.m. When cops arrived, they not only spotted a suspect fitting the account – they also noticed he had pigeon feathers on his crutches, according to police at Northern Station.

Witnesses told cops “they had the right guy.” They sharp out the dead pigeons to the officers. The alleged pigeon killer told the cops that he had every right to kill the pigeons since they were “stealing his money,” police said. The man was arrested for crime cruelty to pet’s animals, police said. This wasn’t the only time defenseless birds were targeted in San Francisco. Last year, one of the two iconic swans that waded in the Palace of Fine Arts lagoon had its neck broken, and beer cans were found at the crime sight.

Dumped pets on the raise

Tauranga SPCA is becoming a dumping ground for unwanted pets as firm economic times hit the pockets of Western Bay families. Operations manager Margaret Rawiri said cat owners regularly came in and said they did not want their adult cat anymore, particularly if it had just had kittens. "If people did not want their cat to have kittens then they should have had it de-sexed in the first place," she said. Yesterday 64 cats and kittens were being housed at the Animal shelter and 20-25 dogs, mainly puppies. There were between 20 and 30 kittens in SPCA foster homes around the region.

"People are really getting restless with us when we tell them we really don't have any spare cages and try to explain we are here for sick and injured animals, not for unwanted pets."For some people it seems their animals are dispensable items and when they don't want them anymore, because they are moving house or can't afford to care for them, they expect someone else to pick up the loose". The number of incoming pets animals this year had surpassed the number of adoptions, which had slowed down. On average between 700 and 800 dogs are impounded each year, but the retrieval rate by their owners remains stable at 80 per cent.

Ohio's exotic animal ban soon to terminate

A managerial order signed by former Gov. Ted Strickland banning the buying and selling of Exotic animals is set to expire as the new administration weighs continued regulation, the Dayton Daily News reports. The 90-day order Strickland signed banned new exotic pets, which include big cats, bears, primates, large snakes and other animals during Wednesday.

Bieber arguments fans to adopt pets from animal shelters

Justin Bieber jumped at the chance to spearhead a new animal espousal campaign for People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals - because he bonded with his dad at a shelter for stray cats and dogs when he was a child. The Baby singer and his pet dog Bijoux starred in an ad for PETA's youth division in 2009, urging fans to adopt strays from Animal shelters over puppies from stores - and now he's back for a new crusade, recalling the joy he had with his first pet, Sam, who he took in from a shelter.

He tells the animal rights organization's Animal Times periodical, "We moved to a city where I didn't really know anybody, so... I wanted a friend around and Sam was... that friend. "My dad and I used to go and hang out (at the shelter)... just go and visit the different animals."And Bieber is hopeless for fans to visit their local shelter before making any decisions about becoming a dog or cat owner. He adds, "It's really important that people adopt. I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog that has been deserted or doesn't have a home."

Animal-rescue operator found culpable of animal cruelty

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has established the operator of a Phoenix animal-rescue shelter guilty on nine counts of animal cruelty. Diane Habener was arrested in November 2009 after investigators found dozens of dogs and cats living in deplorable conditions at two Phoenix locations. Sheriff’s deputies found that the Animals were without food and water and were living in excrement.

 Many were imprisoned in kennels too small to even allow any real movement by the Pets animal. "It appears as though Ms. Habener got in way over her head by taking in too many animals," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said at the time of her arrest. "She did not provide the proper care needed to safely and caringly house these animals."Judge Janet Barton found Habener guilty on nine wrong counts of unkindness to animals and not guilty on seven others at a non-jury trial. Habener faces probable jail time, a fine and probation when she's sentenced April 15.

Family violence/animal unkindness link to be studied

The SPCA, which has been given a $100,000 funding for the year-long study, will work with Victoria University and Womens' Refuge on it. The society's national chief executive, Robyn Kippenberger, says it will speak with at-risk adults and children to see if pets have also been debilitated in violent households.

She says it will urge the Government for money to shift people away from an aggressive person, and make sure Animals leave too. United States research shows that pets are 15 times more likely to be hurt or killed where there is domestic violence, and that people who hurt animals are also likely to hurt people. Ms Kippenberger says both family aggression and Pets animal abuse often go under the radar because people are too scared to report it.

Chase for cat poisoner after three pets in the one street fall ill

Animal welfare officers are hunting a cat poisoner after three pets in a Dundee street fell unwell. The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after the cats were believed to have been poisoned by anti-freeze. All three cats are from Mains Road in Dundee and one of the Pets animals was put down after displaying symptoms of poisoning. Scottish SPCA Inspector Robert Baldie said that the aid organization had also received reports of cats in the area going missing. He added: "We have received reports that three cats in the area have been fatalities of poisoning and that others have gone missing.

"Sadly, one cat had to be put to sleep and a post mortem has inveterate that it died from anti-freeze poisoning.”Two other cats have also shown symptoms consistent with poisoning. It is possible that the poisonings could be unintentional so we would ask motorists to ensure that anti-freeze is stored carefully to avoid leaks or spillages. "However, it may be that these poisonings have been deliberate, which is a real cause for concern. Poisoning causes an animal an extremely painful death so we would advise cat owners in the area to be vigilant and report anything suspicious. "Anyone found guilty of intentionally poisoning an animal can face a jail sentence, a fine of up to £20,000, or both.

National animal rescue group brings pet adoption attempt in Sacramento

A New York-based Animal rescue group will visit Sacramento on Thursday as part of its national "Tour for Life," an effort to find homes for homeless pets and encourage adoptions from shelters.

Maintain children, pets safe from poisons

National Poison Prevention Week is March 20-26, and it’s the ideal time to make sure that everyone in the family — including dogs and cats — is safe from poisonous substances that prowl around our homes.

Here are some tips:

Chocolate, coffee, alcohol, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, onions, onion powder, yeast dough and other foods that are harmless to humans can be lethal to Pets animals. Make sure children and guests know not to give these to animals.

Xylitol, a sweetener often used in toothpaste, gum and mints, is extremely poisonous to animals, as are many common medications and vitamins, so hoard these products out of Pets’ reach and where they can’t be knocked down.

Myriad hazards lurk outdoors, including antifreeze, fertilizers, poisonous plants, mushrooms (which can pop up overnight) and cocoa mulch. Protect your animals from these and other dangers by custody them indoors and always supervising them closely when they are outside.
