Jasmine HAS BEEN AT THE SHELTER FOR a YEAR!! `Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’m a three year old Pitbull mix searching for my forever home. I’ve been at the shelter for over a year and still haven’t found someone to take me home. Don’t get me wrong, the staff at The Lewis and Clark Humane Society have been really nice to me and are doing everything to help me find a home, and believe me when I say they have tried EVERYTHING, including making me the star of their adoption events and waiving my adoption fee! I have celebrated my birthday with these guys, worked hard to overcome my fear of strangers, and have even learned some commands while here at the shelter! I am slowly learning how to get along with other dogs (I am not a fan of cats however) and I’ve been hoping that someone will notice all of the things I have achieved and give me a chance to become part of the family. I have lots of energy and so badly want a family to play and hang out with! I love toys (kongs are my absolute favorite!) but my favorite thing is just being with the people I love! I am always so happy to see the staff and volunteers every day, I love going for walks with them, and just sitting down relaxing with them. Please, can you give me a second chance at a forever home?

From the Editor's Corner.....
I grew up always having at least one dog around and that love grew well into my adulthood. While I was in college I adopted my very first dog. Less than six months later I was helping opporate the rescue where I adopted my first dog. Fast forward ten years and I still have my first dog and still do admin work for the rescue. There have been car loads of dogs that I’ve taken care of whether it was an over night stay, temperary foster or specialized home medical care. Thinking back on all those occasions and there isn’t anything I would have changed. What can I say dogs rule my world. I hope you enjoy this issue. Take Care! p.s. This is Beau my first adopted dog now at age 11, soon to be 12.

Autumn Waste Clean Up
Why it’s important for you and your dogs.
If you’re like me, you most likely don’t like cleaning up after your dog or dogs. With the cooler weather coming in Montana, it’s a good time to get that yard cleaned up from pet waste before the snow flies. There is more to just keeping your yard clean than just picking up the land minds. Here are some important reasons why we need to get those piles picked up.

Make your Yard a Useable Space. Making your dog yard a useable space is important. No one likes to dodge land mines while trying to spend time with your dog. By frequently picking up those piles you’ll make a much more pleasant useable space.
Preventing your Dog from Stool Eating. Now this just makes
sense. If you have one of “those” dogs as I do, getting fecal piles picked up quickly will help to eliminate the bad behavior of fecal eating. Let’s face it, that’s just gross thinking about it.
Disease Prevention. To help eliminate the possibility for contracting disease it’s best to clean up. Some common disease forms are; Giardia, roundworms, hookworms, Salmonella and E.coli. These can be transmitted from dogs, cats and humans.

Hunting Safety Tips for You and Your Dog With fall, comes the Montana hunting season. To avoid injury to your dog follow these tips while in the woods. Remember, Montana allows live traps for hunting so make sure to always be proactive while exercising your dog this fall season.
Bright Clothing for you and your dog. Most sporting good stores and pet supplies have a number of products that can help you and your pet stand out in the forest. Wearing bright colors such as hunter’s orange or florescent yellow will do the trick. There are several items you can purchase for your dog like vests, collar and bandanas in these bright colors. Leash your Dog. During the hunting months always keep your dog on-leash. Accidents can happen at any time and keeping your dog close to you on the trail will help eliminate incidents. On many trails there are live traps or body gripping traps set, always remain on visible trails while exercising. Make Noise. While in the woods or near hunting areas always talk or whistle. This will help hunters to know that you are in the area. If you hear shots fired yell to let them know you are close. Don’t let your dog chase animals. Avoid
letting your dog chase any wildlife. By keeping your dog on leash will prevent this behavior.
Animal carcasses. Dogs can get ill by eating
carcasses or gut piles of dead animals. Keep your dog from roaming in these areas.

. Come: This is one of the most important training commands that you can teach your dog right from the start. It can be a lifesaver, literaly.
. Stay: This command can also be lifesaving. All dogs should know a form of stay command. . Sit: The sit command can be important when introducing new people and new animals. This
command teaches self control.
. No: The single word “no” command will let your trained dog know that he or she is doing
something wrong and must stop.
. Off: The “off” command is important to make sure that your dog knows to stay off of you or others.

2. Urinary Health: The oils found in pumpkin can be beneficial for urinary health. Using pumpkin with senior dogs or dogs with incontinence in particular may promote overall urinary health.
3. Weight Management: Does your dog seem a little overweight? Pumpkin is naturally low in calories. By supplementing pumpkin with a portion of your dog’s daily diet, you can help shed those extra pounds for optimal health.

Physical therapy has been used for decade amongst humans. Did you know that there are physical therapists for dogs too? If your dog has had a major surgery for a broken bone or even extreme surgery like hip replacement, you know that physical therapy is very important for your dog to recover. Even if your dog hasn’t had a major surgery, physical therapy may be an option to keep those joints and muscles working properly. As dogs get older, the wear and tear on the body influences aches and pains from arthritis and other common ailments. If you have noticed your dog taking longer to get up from lying down or not moving properly, physical therapy may be an option for you. There are numerous techniques that can maintain and improve your dog’s mobility. This is just one instance that physical therapy can be applied to dogs. There are literally no limits to physical therapy and dogs. From puppyhood through adulthood physical therapy is a much needed discipline. Several of the k-9 working force use physical therapy to help with the strains of day-to-day work.

Physical Therapy and Your Dog
ARthritis:
Massage Blend Oils you will need: 8 Drops Lemon 6 Drops Lavender 8 Drops Ginger 4 oz. Carrier Oil of your choice *Fractionated Coconut Oil or Sweet Almond oils work great. Blend oils together in a single bottle. Use oil blend topically for muscle and joint massage. You can also put a drop or two on paw pads and inside upper ear.
Having your dog seen by a pet physical therapist is by referral from your veterinarian. Your pet physical therapist should also have all access to your dog’s medical records for evaluation. This type of treatment isn’t just walking your dog around a room; there are a ton of mobility options. Treadmills and under water treadmills (aqua therapy) can be used to build muscle tone along with helping align the body’s natural gate. Yoga balls and similar devices can be used for stretching and also aligning limbs. Physical therapy can be a miracle in itself. There have been numerous cases of immobility in the dog, to actually moving and walking again after treatments.

Winter is on its way with all the cold and windy weather. We will be pulling out the thermal underwear, winter coats, gloves and hats to protect us. Our dogs need protection as well when going out into the cold, but in case hypothermia or frostbite sets in, knowing what to do can save your dog’s life. First, what is hypothermia? Exposure to extreme cold can chill the entire body, even those with heavy fur coats. An abnormally low body temperature is known as hypothermia. If the core body temperature of the body drops too far, (the core is the center of the body, either ours or the dog’s), the dog can die. Dogs with short, smooth fur are at higher risk of being too cold, while dogs with heavier, thicker fur, while still at risk of extreme low temperatures, are more able to deal with the cold. Either way, it is important to know the signs of hypothermia and frostbite and how to respond. Prevention is best of course, and dogs that are at a higher risk of hypothermia and frostbite, an insulating coat and even dog boots may insure you never need to treat for these killers. Hypothermia and frostbite can develop quickly and symptoms can be as simple as a dog shivering, while seeming okay otherwise. If the dog is shivering, it should be moved to a warmer place immediately or provided with insulating clothing. Without intervention, the shivering will become lethargy and next to weakness with shallow breathing. Tips of the ears, the tail and other extremities have
the least fat and protection. These areas can freeze (frostbite) and if not treated immediately may have to be amputated. Frostbite and hypothermia are both extremely dangerous, requiring veterinary attention as soon as possible. To assess whether your dog has a cold related injury, first determine if the dog has been exposed to icy wind, snow, cold or has been in cold water. Next, is the dog shivering, is it sleepy, disoriented, or exhausted? If you can take the dog’s rectal temperature, is it below 98 degrees? If so, your dog has hypothermia. Wrap the dog in warm blankets and if you have a hot water bottle, wrap it as well and place it against the abdomen. Provide warm liquid for the dog to drink if it is conscious. Next check your dog’s tail, ears, feet and scrotum (if it is a male dog) for pale skin or extreme cold. Using a warm cloth, gently massage the area. Don’t rub hard or squeeze it to avoid further damage to the skin. Warm the areas further by beginning with cool water and warming it slowing to avoid serious pain and burning. Let the dog stand in the water to warm up the feet. If the skin becomes dark, get immediate veterinary assistant. In both hyperthermia and frostbite, please take the dog to your vet as soon as possible for assessment and any further treatment.

What is DM?
Signs of Degenerative Myelopathy By: Trish DeVall
The case of degenerative myelopathy in dogs is a progressive disease of the spinal cord. This disease is typically found in older dogs. In the beginning stages of this disease comes loss of coordination in the back legs. In most cases the dog will tend to wobble and drag the back feet from time-to-time. This disease can be devastating to watch as your four legged friend struggles for hind mobility. The timeline of DM is roughly 6 months to 1 year in progression and the dog will become a full paraplegic. In some cases the progression will continue and loss of urinary and fecal continence may occur. Degenerative myelopathy is not a painful disease. Diagnoses of degenerative myelopathy is by elimination. This is a spinal cord disease and at this time there is no way to determine the disease. Most veterinarians will look for other causes of hind end weakness before coming to the conclusion of DM. Myelography and MRI’s can be used to rule out any other causes. Some other similar causes of hind end weakness can be from herniated intervertebral disks that put pressure on the spinal cord. Others can be tumors, cysts, infections or other injuries. At this time there is no cure of degenerative myelopathy. The results of a dog that has DM, sadly, is grave results. Monitoring the quality of life is the most responsible option. Physical therapy and good nursing skills are a good responsible start.

Transporting Your Dog Safely By: Belinda Hendrickson, PhD
When you put your child in your car or any loved one or even yourself, you make sure to buckle your seatbelt. But when you transport your dog, it is a different matter. How often you drive around your town and see a dog hanging its head out of the side window of the car? Police officers everywhere are seeing a new problem with owners allowing their small dogs on the laps while driving. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you are in an accident with your dog in the car? First, the dog may actually be the cause of the accident. If your small dog is on your lap, leaning on the car door and looking out the window, it could easily impact your ability to steer and react to sudden changes in traffic. Police officers are now saying that you could be fined for “distracted” driving for allowing your pet to sit in your lap while driving, especially if you have an accident. The second issue with an unrestrained dog in your vehicle is that in an accident, the dog becomes a projectile. While your seat belt keeps you in place, the dog whether large or small, will be thrown around the car. Not only will your dog be injured, often severely, but your animal might hit you or your other passengers.
We have often seen pickup truck owners allow their dogs to ride in the open bed of the truck. It is illegal in most states to allow any animal to ride in the open bed of a truck over the speed of 25 miles per hour. As I am apart of rescue personnel, sometimes we have been called on to save pets that survived accidents. In one instance, two pickup trucks collided and both rolled over. The driver of the first truck was killed, as was his dog who had been riding in the open bed of the truck. The poor dog was thrown yards away from the actual accident. It was not known if the dog died from the injuries of being thrown or by being hit by another car. The second driver was killed as well, but his dog survived the accident. That dog was in an airline approved plastic crate which was tied down in the truck bed. Although the truck rolled over and the crate was a bit squashed, the dog survived. In another instance, a pickup truck driver had placed his dog in the bed of the truck on a leash. The leash was then passed through the rear window of the truck and tied. The driver miscalculated his speed, traffic and wind conditions and had to swerve suddenly when changing lanes.
The large dog was flipped over the side of the truck, hanging by the collar and leash. The owner realized what had happened and pulled over to the side of the road, where he jumped to release the dog from the leash and place it inside the truck. The dog died from a broken neck. As a dog rescue, we transport hundreds of dogs as much as 500 miles each year. For our protection and for the protection of our dogs, we always use and recommend the plastic crates that are approved by airlines. Every crate is then secured either in the van or the bed of the truck to prevent them from being tossed out or from becoming a missile in the event of an accident. While these hard plastic crates can cost upwards of $300, you can easily find one through garage or yard sales and Craigs List. We have paid as little as $25 for a medium to large size plastic crate. To select a crate for your dog, grab your measuring tape and determine how tall your dog is when sitting down, how long your dog is from nose to rear end. And finally determine how wide your dog is approximately. The crate should be as tall, wide and long as your dog. Take your dog with you to try out the crate, making sure that the dog can stand and turn around easily once inside. Once you have acquired your dog crate, you will need to obtain tie downs to secure the crate to the bed of the van or truck. Typically you need a minimum of four tie downs to secure all four corners of your crate. For car owners, if your dog and crate are to large for the vehicle’s interior, we recommend a dog seat belt harness. Most pet stores and online pet suppliers carry pet seat belt harnesses. These dog belts should be sturdy enough to restrain the dog based on size. Most attach directly to your car’s built in seat belt and are easy to use.

The fun filled festivities of Halloween can be incredibly fun for you and your family. But, there’s something to say about the scary holiday that your pet has to endure. The costumes, the candy, even the festive pumpkins can be a danger when there are pets around. We’ve compiled a list of some safety tips that may help your four legged friend make it through another Halloween.
Lifestyle
Halloween Safety Tips for Your Dog
1
.Trick-or-Treat candies galore! Candy can be great for a sugar rush, but make sure to keep them out of reach from your dog. There are several ingredients that are poisonous to your dog. The artificial ingredient xylitol for instants can be fatal to your dog if consumed. All forms of chocolate can be dangerous. Some symptoms of chocolate poisoning may include; vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate and even seizures.
2
. Dogs left outside on Halloween can become a problem. There have been multiple cases of pranksters young and old that have injured dogs on purpose. Teasing, stealing and even killing dogs has occurred. It’s best to be proactive in this case and keep your dog safe and indoors.
3 4 5
. Lit pumpkins can be a danger. Keep all lit pumpkins away from your dog. If a dog nocks over a lit pumpkin it can cause a fire. . Halloween decorations can also be hazardous. Keep all electrical cords and extra outlets up and away from your dog.
. Pet ID’s should be on during any holiday season just in case. When there becomes more activity around your house it’s best to always have identification on your dog just in case of an escape or accidental let out.
Have these 4 things ready in case of an Emergency. Make sure to have an Information Sheet about all your animals in visual site.
Have an emergency location for your pet.
Always have a First-Aid Kit on hand.
Have identification on all your pets, including contact information.

His name is Scout, he is a 4 year old Black Shepherd who was an owner turn in, they had to move and could not take him with. Scout initially came from a shelter in Guatemala. He has a good disposition, energetic which is so sad to see because he has a congenital spinal injury and has lost a lot of mobility in his back legs and it pains me to watch him walk. But with limited activity and a place to settle down he would be great. He has a lot of anxiety here in a shelter but I am sure in a home he would calm down A LOT! He doesn’t like cold baths but prefers them luke warm! Uncertain about cats and he doesn’t show his friendly side with dogs here as well. He would need some TLC in grooming, and it seems he has never been bathed before. Find out more at
