Take a dog home for the night!
If you have a favorite dog that you spend a lot of time with, you can take them home for the night (or weekend!). The dog gets out of the shelter, you get to see how your friend does away from the shelter, and we get valuable feedback on their personality. A win, win win for everyone!
What to Do if Your Dog GETS LOST
As soon as your pet is missing, call all area shelters. Don’t feel that a shelter that is not in your immediate vicinity is not a place your pet could end up. It could! Do not delay in starting your search! Once a pet arrives at a shelter it can be adopted out after a 5 day holding period.
Call your local police department and dog control officers. Make signs with a picture and description of your pet. Hang them in area stores, on telephone poles in your neighborhood, and surrounding areas. Run an ad in the Pennysaver, and other area newspapers. Check Petfinder.org and Lostfoundpets.com for listings of found pets. You can also list your pet in the lost section.
Always ID your pet with a name & address tag and write our phone number on the inside of the collar with a permanent marker.
License and vaccinate your pet!
Microchipping can reunite a dog if he should lose his collar. Ask your vet about microchipping your pet. Don’t give up your search! Too many times, owners are not reunited with their pets only because they don’t know where to look for them. It’s very sad to see a dog or cat waiting, wondering if their family will come for them.
Amazing song and video reminding us of the connection between dogs and God...much more than a word play. A very sweet video. (from Irememberlove.com)
