Gypsy is a stumpy Manx, born about November 2010. She’s a sweet girl who adores being petted. She is used to living in a multi cat household and does very well with other cats. She’s the first to give head butts, and rub her face against yours. Gypsy would like to sleep on my head as well, but I convince her to curl against my side instead.

ON THE COVER: Oscar is about 11 months old, has merle coloring and is very sweet. He is crate-trained and housebroken. He knows basic commands and is very smart. He gets along with other dogs and likes people of all ages and sexes. Oscar does have some separation anxiety and will not be a good fit in an apartment setting, unless there are people around for much of the day. Oscar would be a great running dog. Come meet Oscar at the AARF adoption fair on Saturdays from noon to 3 pm at 311 Harvey Street, Winston-Salem. Due to a home visit being part of the adoption process, applicants must live within one hour of Winston-Salem.

Attention: All Cats & Dogs!

It’s time to clean those pearly whites. Proper dental care helps give your pet a good, long life... preventing mouth infections and loss of teeth. Digital dental radiography enables us to detect early dental disease below the gum line. Bacterial infections in the mouth have a direct line through the bloodstream to your pet’s heart, liver & kidneys.

Why Every Pet Needs a Veterinarian

new chapter is beginning in your life. You just moved out of your parent’s house, found a decent job and moved to a new city. You finally feel like you’re an adult and ready to take the next big step in life, adopting a pet! You decide to rescue a shelter cat and feel great for saving a life. You know you need to take the cat to the vet, but she came from the shelter already spayed and up to date on shots. Since she stays indoors and acts happy and healthy, the vet visit gets put on your to do list, but doesn’t get checked off. Now fast forward a couple months. It’s the weekend and you’re ready to relax. After sleeping in on Saturday, you go to feed your kitty but she doesn’t want to eat. Normally very playful, all she wants to do is sleep and is sneezing and congested. At this time you start to panic. You frantically try to research vets in your area, but the ones you call are either closed or are completely booked and unable to see a new patient. All you can find is the emergency clinic 30 minutes away. You know this could be tough financially having just incurred a lot of moving expenses, but you proceed having no other choice. This is a scary situation, but one that you can avoid by having an established relationship with a veterinarian. When you acquire a new pet, you should take it to a vet right away for a wellness exam. But because you are not panicking about a sick pet, you can take some time to research local vet clinics and look at their websites, staff bios and online reviews in order to find one that best suits you. A welcoming vet clinic will even offer a tour of their hospital prior to joining their practice. Once you find a vet and take your pet in for the first appointment, the vet will be able to perform a complete nose

to tail examination. The vet will be able to pick up changes on the physical exam that you may not have noticed, such as a heart murmur, fleas, dental disease or potentially cancerous skin growths. After the physical exam, the vet will be able to make recommendations for your pet including vaccines needed, diet, dental care, as well as heartworm, flea and tick prevention. But the best part of the physical exam is that you have the vet’s undivided attention! This is the time to get your money’s worth and ask anything and everything about your pet, from nutrition and exercise to behavior and house breaking! All of us veterinarians went to school for many years, and have lots of knowledge we’d love to share with our clients, especially those who like to ask questions! During the visit, vaccine records will be added to your pet’s file so you will receive reminders when your pet is due. Some vets such as Northwood Animal Hospital offer services like E-pet health®, a pet portal database which allows you to view your pet’s vaccines records and lab work results online anytime. E-pet health® also offers extensive educational videos and articles about pet health. No more fearing the worst after consulting Dr. Google. By the end of the visit, hopefully the receptionists, techs and Doctor will have gotten to know you and developed a fondness for your new pet. Going back to that Saturday morning when your pet is sick and you give your favorite vet a call, hopefully you will hear “It’s a busy Saturday but we don’t want your sweet kitty to wait until Monday. If you don’t mind a little wait and you are patient with us, we will be glad to see you.” Northwood Animal Hospital invites you to—

We Dream If the sky were the limit, we would dream of a time when there would be no need for Animal Adoption & Rescue Foundation. All cats and dogs would have loving homes where they would be well fed, loved, safe, and protected. By Rebecca Kennedy Animal Adoption & Rescue Foundation

Foxy AARF (Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation) aids homeless and helpless cats and dogs in the greater Winston Salem area. We provide rescue and adoption services, information and education, while encouraging the human/animal bond. That is our mission. Our vision is to be the best at what we do, which is rescue and adoption. But what are our dreams? The answer to that would be as diverse as the number of volunteers, adopters, fosters, and donors who make up the face, heart and soul of AARF. If the sky were the limit, we would dream of a time when there would be no need for AARF. All cats and dogs would have loving homes where they would be well fed, loved, safe and protected. They would live long happy lives. There would be play and laughter every day. Treats would abound. All would get consistent vet care and the very best in nutrition. We certainly dream of a facility designed especially for our needs, but for now we have a building and location that serves us well. We need funds to keep it clean, well maintained, safe and welcoming for the dogs and cats, and inviting for people coming to meet their new companions.

We also dream of increased funding to cover medical care for animals in need of assistance. The largest portion of our budget is used for direct animal care (both medicines and vet care). We have a team of volunteer vets who help us weekly provide the best care for our foster animals. Their service saves us much and enables us to do more with the funds we have. Our veterinary partners also contribute, with the help of their practices, to provide for the more complicated medical issues. And we dream of volunteers. We have wonderful people who are a part of AARF, but as one of our volunteers is inclined to say, “Many hands make light work.” The work is ongoing and often difficult. We dream of many volunteers to help with all that it takes to rescue and adopt homeless and abandoned animals. We need people to do the work of facility care, to foster, to raise funds, to educate and to answer inquiries for help. There is always something to be done, and lives depend on us. We dream of more feet, hands, hearts and minds to join the cause. The reality is that AARF took in 259 dogs and 340 cats in 2014. We adopted 243 dogs and 402 cats into loving homes in 2014, as well. In 2015, we have taken 165 dogs into

October 2015 www.facebook.com/triadhappytails

our program and adopted 141 dogs and puppies into homes. We have taken in 242 cats and adopted 205 cats into their forever homes. Champ, a 1-½ year old Lab/Shepherd mix, was found with a broken leg. His injury was an old one, and his leg had healed at a right angle. He was walking on his bent, infected limb. The family who found him contacted AARF for help. They were willing to foster Champ, and our dreams provided the medical care and amputation required, giving Champ a better quality of life. A mail carrier found a tiny kitten on the side of the road in 90 degree weather. She bottle fed it for a few days and contacted AARF for help. Upon receiving the kitten, we realized that he has some health issues (cerebellar hypoplasia, probably from an in utero infection from his mother). He may improve, but will likely always be “challenged”. We have volunteers who will bottle feed and care for him until he is old enough to be adopted by someone who is willing to take him as he is. We already have an adopter interested in giving “Jagger” a forever home. Not all of our dogs and cats require special care, but we dream of helping those who come to us with or without special needs.

In recent months we helped Scarlet, a one year old Pit/Lab mix abandoned with four puppies. She was able to free herself, went to the door of an AARF volunteer and led him back to her puppies. AARF has rescued Scarlet and her puppies and they will be placed in forever, loving homes. A woman rescued 5 Pit puppies from a horrible situation and brought them to AARF for help. Covered in urine and feces, and infested with worms, they had skin infections and sores on their feet. They were eight weeks old, but looked about four weeks. AARF was able to help, and four of the five puppies are now in their new homes. The fifth puppy is currently in foster care, awaiting his forever home. Once again, our dreams came true for these puppies. Three kittens were found beside a snake that had eaten two of their litter mates. After the efforts of several volunteers to keep them alive, two of those beautiful kittens already have homes waiting for them. We receive cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from all kinds of situations. They are abandoned on the side of the road, found under cars, born behind storage buildings or in the monkey grass. Our dreams include all the elements needed to rescue them and place them in homes of their own, where in this reality their lives are long and happy. Finally, we dream of you! Bring your passion for animals, your creativity, your enthusiasm, your knowledge, your experience, and join us to help make our dreams come true. You can be a donor, a volunteer, an adopter, a foster, or all four!

Biscuit enjoys Triad Golden Retriever Rescue playing with toys, and gets along well with other dogs. She is currently being fostered in a home with three other dogs and two cats, and she fits in well. Biscuit is very smart and obedient, and learns rules quickly.

Vet’s Corner Corinne McGregor, DVM Southwoods Animal Hospital Dr. Corinne McGregor grew up on a small horse farm in northeast Indiana. She completed her undergraduate degrees at the University of Findlay in Ohio, and graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. She has been with Southwoods Animal Hospital for 11 years, and recently became an owner of the practice. In her free time she enjoys cooking, reading, hiking, and spending time with her husband and two daughters. She currently is allowed to co-habitate with one very sassy cat named Mia, and a needy Maltese mix named Finley.

What’s Up With My Dog’s Bottom? It never fails… you have company over for a nice dinner and Fido decides to start scooting his rear end across the carpet. Or you’re almost asleep and Fluffy starts loudly slurping away at her bum. What does it mean when dogs (or cats) are doing these disgusting habits? Well, the most common cause is a problem with the anal glands. Anal glands are actually two sacs that lie under the skin, one on each side of the anus, at the 4:00 and 8:00 positions. Inside, the sacs are lined with gland cells that produce a stinky, oily substance which acts as a scent marker. The fluid exits through a tiny duct that opens at the anus, and is normally expressed when a dog passes a bowel movement. It’s also the reason dogs sniff each other’s rear end to get to know one another. Anal gland problems can occur for numerous reasons, all of which result in build-up of anal gland fluid. Chronic diarrhea or constipation, obstruction of the duct, and obesity can all cause reduced ability to empty the glands. Excessive gland secretion can be caused by allergies, hormone imbalance, or skin infections, and will cause the glands to fill up quickly. When glands become distended with anal gland material the glands become uncomfortable, and the pet licks or scoots to try to relieve the itching and pain. Anal Sacculitis means inflammation of the sac. The fluid can be expressed at this stage, but it may be painful when the gland is squeezed and sometimes the fluid is bloody or has pus in it. The glands need to be expressed, or emptied of the fluid. Since your pet is uncomfortable this is best done at the vet’s office. Your pet may need antibiotics and pain medications to relieve the discomfort and prevent worsening of the problem. The glands may refill quickly, so your vet may ask that you return in a week or so to empty the glands again and make sure the problem is clearing up.

Impaction occurs when the gland doesn’t express normally and the fluid becomes so thick and dry that it can’t squeeze through the duct. If the problem is diagnosed at this stage, your vet will attempt to express the glands. If they cannot be emptied your pet may need to be sedated to allow the glands to be flushed with antiseptic to relieve the impaction. The gland may be infused with antibiotics, and your dog will be placed on oral medications as well. If it continues to build up, the anal sac can become so infected and inflamed that it becomes an Anal Sac Abscess which is a hard, swollen, painful lump on the pet’s rear end. A surgical opening may then be required to allow drainage. If not treated, the abscessed gland will rupture and drain to the outside. This is a Ruptured Anal Sac and is quite painful. Most clients notice the pet is bleeding from its rear end, but closer inspection reveals the blood is actually coming from a hole in the skin next to the anus. These are typically treated by flushing the wound with antiseptic and infusing medication inside, then starting oral antibiotics and pain medications. Frequent monitoring may be needed if the abscess is large, and occasionally surgical excision of the infected tissue is required. Most dogs never have a problem with their anal glands, but those that do can have frequent, painful bouts of sacculitis or abscesses. Depending on the underlying cause, some dogs will respond to dietary changes. A high fiber diet or fiber supplement will “bulk up” the stools to help the glands express naturally. If allergies are an issue, then a hypoallergenic diet may be the best choice. Controlling an underlying allergy with medication or desensitization therapy may also be necessary. Having the glands expressed regularly to prevent build-up may work for some dogs. Owners can learn to do this at home, but it’s definitely a 2-person job, and most owners don’t want to deal with the stink! Besides, if the pet has developed an infection it may be painful and he may not appreciate your efforts. It’s often best to let the vet be the “bad guy.” Chronic anal gland disease that hasn’t responded to medical therapy can be treated by surgical removal of the glands. While this is a permanent solution, there are some very important side effects to be aware of. The gland tissue is very thin, and if not completely removed the remaining gland tissue will continue to produce fluid, which will build up and create a draining tract. Also, the glands lie within the muscles of the anus which keep it tightly closed. If damage occurs to the muscles or nerves during surgery the pet may experience permanent fecal incontinence. Scooting and licking can be signs of other diseases as well. Any type of skin irritation, such as allergies, fleas or other parasites can cause itchiness. Swelling or bumps around the anal area can be due to cancers of the anal glands or perianal tissues, or perineal hernias. Bleeding or discharge from the skin may be caused by skin infections or Perianal Fistulas – a disease most common in German Shepherds. So, if your dog is showing any of these symptoms, it’s best to see the vet to diagnose the problem and select the proper treatments. And, don’t think that anal gland problems are only for dogs – cats can have many of the same issues!

We believe the last weeks, days, and moments that an owner has with a pet are the most cherished times, and should be handled with dignity and love. By providing veterinary hospice and pet euthanasia services in the home, the human-animal bond is less disturbed, making a much more peaceful closing to a shared bond.

Isra.

Allow us to formally introduce the Queen of Freedom....Miss Isra. Isra was a shelter pup just a few weeks ago, now she is an ARFP foster pup.

Are you interested in meeting this 11 month old little girl? Call ARFP at 574-9600 for more information. n

Tangle.

Tucker

is a 6 lb. Chihuahua that was pulled from the Guilford County Animal Shelter. The vet estimates his age to be 8 years old. Through ARFP, Tucker has now been neutered, had a complete dental cleaning, had a mass removed from his mouth, has been heartworm tested (negative), and is now up-to-date on all his shots and ready to find his forever home. Tucker is our little ‘Zen’ dog. He believes in taking life in the slow lane, stopping to smell the roses, and appreciates the art of a good nap (meditation). He’s very quiet and is working hard on his house-training. He will come up to you and bow his head, asking for a rub or scratch, almost like he doesn’t want to bother you but would really appreciate some attention. Tucker is a sweet little guy, just looking for a quiet place to finally call home.

Hide and go seek, then jump out and scare your brother. This is the game that Tangle likes to play over and over with his brother, Scrappy. Tangle, born May 12 2015, is full of playful kitten energy - you know the kind where you run, roll and then sleep hard. You can always count on Tangle to greet you when you enter the room. Tangle is up-to-date on his shots and is actively seeking his forever companion. Do you like the loving, cuddling, playful type? If so, Tangle is your man!

Call ARFP at 574-9600 for more information. n

Jordan.

Are you interested in adding a family member to your home? Jordan is your girl!

Born in July 2010, Jolly was once a roamer of the streets. She is now living the good life as an ARFP foster kitty. Jolly is up-to-date on her shots, spayed and is ready for the next chapter of her life to begin. Jolly gets along great with her fourlegged friends and curls right up to every human friend that she meets. As a five year old, Jolly possesses infinite wisdom as she strolls around the playroom at Next Step Adoption Center amongst the younger kittens. Jolly is hoping that her next chapter includes a family that will love her forever and ever.

Bear. This little fella is a bit

Daisy is an active puppy who is

spunky and ready to have some fun! He has some basic manners but still needs to work on a few things. Bear LOVES to play ball. In fact, it has to be one of his favorite pastimes. His family gave him up because he needed more than their schedule would allow. Bear enjoys life and adventures. If you are looking for a little buddy to be your companion, then he is your man. Bear is upto-date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped.

looking for someone willing to give her an outlet for her energy, such as a fenced in backyard, long walks or a play buddy, and some guidance on continuing her manners. She is very sweet and LOVES people and kids. She is housebroken and crate-trained. Daisy is a little too much for most cats and small animals so we recommend a house with no cats or small animals, like rabbits or guinea pigs. She doesn’t hurt them but is overly interested in their presence. She is upto-date on vaccines and will be spayed and microchipped soon.

If interested in adopting Bear, visit www.reddogfarm.com. n

If you are interested in meeting Daisy, please visit our website at www.reddogfarm.com. n

Charlie.

Are you looking for a roommate that will listen? A roommate that will give great advice? Or at least one that will enjoy spending time with you? Then Charlie is your dream roommate! He is very loving and social. He enjoys getting petted and hanging out with you and your friends. He also enjoys a good conversation and will talk back to you. But he knows how to just listen as well. Charlie loves to play with socks. He would be a wonderful addition to any family. Charlie is up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Charlie, please visit our website at www.reddogfarm.com. n

Lilly.

Clover

came to Red Dog Farm when the shelter contacted us and needed help placing her. Clover is a a little overweight and therefore is having a difficult time grooming herself. She is now on a strict diet in hopes of losing that weight in order to better maintain her bunny habits. In the meantime, her foster family is helping by brushing her often and keeping her clean. Personality-wise Clover is your typical domesticated rabbit. A little reserved but sweet. Visit www.reddogfarm.com to apply to adopt Clover. n

Madeline.

This sweet goat and her two goat friends, Princess, another Nubian goat and Dora, a Boer goat, came to us after the family that owned them sold their farm. Lilly is approximately 10 years old. She is very easy to handle and likes attention. Dora is 12 years old and prefers to keep to herself. Princess is approximately 3 years old and is timid but is warming up to people, especially if they have watermelon! We’d love to keep this herd together.

This fabulous miniature horse is about 5 years old. She came to us from the Guilford County Animal Shelter along with several other minis. Madeline is by far the sweetest and most socialized of the bunch. Madeline is always the first to greet her foster mom. She stood well while being groomed and did very well for our farrier too.

Tucker

Mattie.

is cute, spunky, and ready to be your family’s fur-ever canine! He is a 6-7 month old Terrier mix who was found wandering around in the cold with his brother Luigi. He is very playful and active... and supremely handsome! Mario is also very intelligent and a fast learner when it comes to obedience training. Mario needs a human who can keep his body and mind active, someone who will continue his training and keep him from becoming bored. If you need a buddy who likes to get out and enjoy life, but also likes to spend quality time getting petted and just hanging out, then Mario is the buddy for you!

Sweet, gentle and low key describes Mattie perfectly. She is an 8 year old Husky/Malamute mix who just wants to love and be loved. She came to the SPCA of the Triad from the Guilford County Animal Shelter and, while there, was given the ASPCA Temperament Test and passed with flying colors. Mattie needs a person as calm as she is and someone who understands the needs of a dog this size, as well as the need to keep her groomed. If she sounds like the love muffin for you, please contact us about meeting her. We are sure you will fall in love, just like we did!

Call SPCA of the Triad at 375-3222 for more information. n

Bryce

Star. Everybody needs a “Star” in

is a 2 year old orange and white DSH kitty. He was found as a lonely stray behind someone’s house in Gibsonville and wants nothing more than a home and a family of his very own. Bryce is very sweet-natured and gentle with humans and other kitties. When he’s not busy being stretched out in front of a sunny window, he loves to follow you around and see what you’re up to. Bryce needs a home full of sunlight, love and companionship.

their life and sweet Star couldn’t agree more. She is a 3 year old Basenji/Terrier mix who was surrendered to a high kill shelter by her owner because they couldn’t afford her. Star is smart, has good energy and is very enthusiastic. This combination does cause her to tug on her leash and jump up on people. For this reason she may not be the best choice for a home with small children. Star gets along with other dogs and loves people. She also loves petting, attention and snuggles. She is a super little girl who just wants a human or family of her own. Someone who will shower her with love and attention but can also train her on some basics so she won’t jump or pull.

Are you Bryce’s fur-ever hero?

Call SPCA of the Triad at 375-3222 for more information. n

Taylor

Malus

is a 12 year old, declawed calico with bright green eyes. Originally adopted from the SPCA as an 8-month old kitten, Taylor recently found herself back with us and now she is looking for that special someone who will take her home and make her part of their family. Taylor likes people and is happy just to have a little perch where she can watch what is going on and take long naps. After her experiences, Taylor would like to be an only cat so she can get the proper care, love and attention she deserves. She enjoys the simple pleasures: a good meal followed by a quiet, relaxing nap on the sofa. She loves to follow you around to see what you are doing and loves even more to curl up beside you for a good head rub.

is tall, long, lanky, and just plain handsome! He is a one year old orange and white DSH who gets along well with other cats. He is so gentle and curious and will often follow you around just to watch what you are up to. Nothing gets by this lovable little guy! Malus also likes his snuggle time and gentle petting. He would be a good fit for almost any home. If he sounds like he could walk right into your heart and home, then contact us to see about meeting Malus.
