RE: Too many dogs staying too long

I remember when Goldens were the breed that everyone just had to have. Years ago there was a commercial with Goldens. That's all that it took for breeders to ramp up and everyone just had to have one. And you may remember the movie 101 Dalmatians. Dalmatian Rescue was soon overwhelmed. Now it's my breed, ...

I keep reading "reach out to rescues". As a rescue I will tell you that across the US rescues are packed, foster homes are filled, adoptions are slow. Now all rescues aren't created equal, just like shelters. I have a three page application. I check references, especially veterinary references. I do ...

Here is one link, and within the article it gives links to studies. To me it's just common sense. Senario. Family gets a dog from a shelter. The dog is there because it was a stray or relinquished. Little known history. It sits in a shelter for who knows how long, and then Boom, it's in a new home with ...

Great! From what university did you earn your degree? Florida has a great undergraduate degree in Animal Science, and they offer the advanced Masters or Doctoral degrees. ------------------------------ Linda Moore Pet's Second Chance for Life Inc, DBA PSC Welsh Corgi Rescue ---------------------- ...

At our shelter, a government shelter, nothing goes home with a pet except the pet. No instructions, no conversation. I commend you for making the effort. I would like to add the the 3-3-3 rule has been debunked. I'm not sure who came up with it, but it certainly isn't correct. Ant veterinary behaviorist ...

And that presents another issue, who is a trainer or behaviorist? For example, our local shelter has a trainer. He has never been to a class, has no certifications, but he is doing behavioral evaluations. That is the norm. I once asked him if he had perhaps read any of Dr. Patricia McConnell's books? ...

The common use of "stubborn dog" needs to be addressed. Stubborn is NOT a trait of dogs, or any animal for that matter. It can be fear, stress, not understanding, or confusion. This is accorrding to UC Davis and several other universities. I hear stubborn used so many times about my breed. Actually it's ...

RE: Protective Custody Case Fostering

Perhaps you should start by checking the ordinances for the city/county. Animals in "protective custody" are usually not owned by the shelter. I am guessing that they are with the shelter due to pending court cases. In addition check the ACFA laws. They cover impounded dogs for court cases. --- ...

RE: No fee or low adoption fees yay or nay?

Here is my issue with no fee or very low fee. If a person can't afford a $40-$60.00 adoption fee, how will they ever afford vet care? Monthly heartworm prevention is more expensive than an adoption fee. Veterinary basic costs have increased, and that includes vaccines and HW test. And that's in addition ...

I believe that it would largely depend on the animals. If it includes animals with behavior issues or medical issues that could be costly , perhaps more than prior ownership is needed. In addition, some behavior issues could be a lliability. ------------------------------ Linda Moore Pet's ...

Just my thoughts. If a person can not afford an adoption fee, how are they going to afford food, heartworm and flea & tick preventative? What if the animal needs additional down the road? Then will the dog/cat come back to the shelter? There is so much more than moving them out of the shelter. ...

I agree with Julie that one size doesn't fit all. However, if a preson/family can't afford an adoption fee of $50-$60-$70 from a shelter, how will they afford vet care? Heartworm preventative alone could be more than the adoption fee. I would also like to know the return rate for for free or very low ...

Thank you! I constantly battle the shock collar trainers in our area. Interesting, and don't jump all over me please. I surveyed thirty trainers in our area, twenty-one used aversive methods and they were all men. There is a dog trainer school in our area. Young trainers are taught how to use a shock ...

Only seven states require a rescue to be licensed. I'm in Missouri. I have a rescue. Rescues must follow strict laws and are inspected once a year or more often if there are complaints. Some states are more strict than others. Missouri and llinois are very strict. Yes, anyone can call themselves a dog ...

Here is the issue that I see in streamlining the app. People lie. Yes, it's not nice to say that, but unfortunately it's true. My number one question is why do you want a dog/cat? When the response is my daughter/son wants a dog. Kids making ownership decisions is not good. In a couple of months they ...

I am going to provide a different perspective. One important thing to remember is that a government shelter is entirely different than a not-for-profit. Government shelters are tasked with picking up strays, responding to cruelty calls, picking up hit by vehicle, police officer assist, dog fighting, ...
