Our client family has some paw-sitive things to say about Casa McKibben

It was so nice to feel like our dogs had the best of care. Mark lives for this, it's evident when you meet him ... Such a blessing to know that we have somewhere safe and fun for our dogs to stay when we need it.

•� Ariel

Mark is absolutely committed to helping aH dogs and will go the extra mile to do his best, no matter how ''crazy'' the dog is. We made a new friend and now have a great dog trainer to go to!

•� Debbie

Our high maintenance elderly basset hound had a really great experience. They were really good about giving him his medicine and love. They went way above and beyond and built him a custom ramp to get up and down the stairs.

•� Matthew

What a Year! We Started in full swing with the show, the food drives and our radio show had a Nielsen rating. We are grateful for the year we had and are looking forward to the Best 2023.

Yes, us, AGAIN!!! We are Zeus and Perseus and we have been waiting forever, getting closer and closer to being in rescue a year already! We are a pair of adult male piggies and have gotten to enjoy life in several different foster homes. We are very handsome, but Perseus is also a little shy. We would like a home with lots of space to play and run as we are energetic young bucks.

How Tight Should a Dog Collar Be?

Mar 31, 2021

Authored by Tractor Supply Company

https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/ pet/dogs/how-tight-should-a-dog-collar-be?

How to measure your dog for a collar

It is essential that you measure the dog‛s neck on a cloth tape measure because this is the most reliable way to get your pet‛s measurements. You should always select a collar that is fitted to the dog‛s neck properly. The dog‛s collar should not be too tight to provide the dog with a comfortable fit. Measure the dog‛s neck size first. You should also consider the collar size as well because it will help you determine the collar fit. The more snaps you can get on the collar, the more comfortable the fit will be.

How to adjust a dog collar for a proper fit

For the proper fit, you will first need to check your dog‛s neck. Once you have checked your dog‛s neck, the collar should be snug enough but not tight. It should not have any buckle part that protrudes and must be large enough to spread in all directions.

The shoulder of the martingale collar should be small enough that it can slip through the dog‛s skin. A number of pet collars have an adjustable length that is adjustable to one inch.

Make sure the collar is not too loose. Once you have the dog‛s neck adjusted, you can put a leash on the dog. The leash will stop the dog from touching its neck, but it should still be able to be tightened slightly. The leash should also not be restrictive.

How to test the fit of your dog‛s collar

When you are walking your pup, you should always check the fit of the collar. With the learning curve associated with a training collar, you will most likely end up with a loose collar. You should always try the collar on the dog. If the collar is fitted t ightly, you should remove it because this is the easiest way to determine the collar fit.

Training your dog—a great way to test your dog‛s collar and leash

We are so grateful for the service of our nation’s retired Police K-9 and Military Working Dog Heroes that we want to honor them in retirement, and ensure the best quality of life for them, by providing assistance with medical costs, food and end of duty services. We rely on donors like you to fund our project, because there are no public funds for police and military working dogs.

We are now working with Congress to change that with the K-9 Hero Act.

For the last three years Project K-9 Hero has been working on the K-9 Hero Act in coordination with Congressman Ron Wright and his office. Right now Project K-9 Hero, Congress, and the Senate are gathering support to take this bill to a vote.

The K-9 Hero Act was a vision we had at Project K-9 Hero and a vision our Founder, Jason Johnson, had over many years on how we can take funding from the federal government and help give that to non-profits to spend on medical bills for retired federal K-9s.

This bill will allow for any military working dog or federal law enforcement K-9s to seek services through non-profits like Project K-9 Hero and allow us as an organization to take in grant money to spend specifically on medical bills for those dogs.

This bill will allocate $5,000,000 of federal grant funds each fiscal year from 2021 through 2025.

The future of retired working dogs with respect to ownership and provision of medical services is often unclear and the medical treatment required by many former working dogs is significant enough that it creates a hardship for the individuals, often former partners, who take in these canine heroes. At Project K-9 Hero we set in to fill this gap.

This bill will help us at Project K-9 Hero free up some of our other donations where we can help spend it on a deputy sheriff dog or a state police dog or a city dog. Not only does it impact our federal community but it will impact our local and state communities as well.

Jason Johnson states, “For me it’s a legacy as the Founder of Project K-9 Hero. I want to make sure that the work is being carried on for generations to come. It’s time our government take into consideration that if we’re going to use them and treat them like heroes when they’re on duty and during their service that we're going to treat them the same way in retirement.”

We encourage you to reach out to your Senator or Congressman to ask them to support H.R. 5081, The K-9 Hero Act. These heroes spent their entire careers protecting us. Now it’s our turn to protect them. ead the status of this bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5081/text

About This Group

CTLAFP is a group that supports the families of missing pets and supports those who find stray pets. We are a Facebook support group for folks in the lost pet community. We started the page in 2012. We have an admin team, a moderator team, scanners, fosters, and over 30,000 members. We do not have funding, we are not a 501, we are not a rescue.

Our goals are to reunite pets and their families above all. To keep pets out of our over crowded local shelters, we ask regular citizens to

open their home to lost pets. We offer an adoption page for those who have held found pets over nhours and we also help raise funds for vetting found pets. We attend pet events and host our own events through out the community to allow these members the chance to find homes for their fosters.

On April 10th, HOTLFP/C4C, alongside Bellmead Animal Control Officer Randi, the local fire department, a local veterinarian, and many volunteers and vendors, served Bellmead families and their beloved dogs at the second annual Bellmead Family Dog Day! The event provided low cost vaccines and HOTLFP/C4C microchipped over 90 dogs for free, helping increase their chances of a safe/successful reunion if they’re ever lost. The event had lots of fun activities for humans too: activities, games, food, and more. We’re looking forward to the event next year, and upcoming microchipping events in other parts of Central Texas!

We could use help restocking our microchip supply: if you’re interested in donating microchips, please contact us at CRIBS4CANINES@GMAIL.COM

In April, Heart of Texas Lost and Found Pets/Cribs 4 Canines teamed up with the city of Bellmead (near Waco), at Bellmead Family Dog Day to hold a free microchipping event.

In the heat of the day, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier was brought to the HOTLFP/C4C pavilion to be scanned for a microchip. Randi Winget, Bellmead animal control officer, stated that he was handed to her as a found dog.

This little nugget was extremely skinny and appeared to be unstable. Michelle Ann, Vice President of HOTLFP/C4C, scanned him and no microchip was found. After being posted to multiple lost and found pet groups on Facebook, with no response from an owner, another board member, Tammy Andrews, took him home to foster until an owner could be found.

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073692554041

We are a 501c3 non profit organization working in Waco, Texas and the surrounding areas. Our efforts are divided between TNR and rescue because both are equally important to us.

TNR helps maintain the community cat population while providing healthier and safer lives for the cats. By fixing community cats, the number of unwanted kittens needing to be rescued decreases. Which helps us and the community as a whole.

However, we cannot fix them all and kittens are still needing our help. We accept kittens without mom, kittens with mom, and adult cats that are sick or injured. We fully vet each one from intake to adoption and while it is hard to say goodbye, we know they will thrive with their forever family. Being a rescue is challenging, but we believe it is our duty to help provide animals with everything they need.

About the Breed

About the Breed

A remarkably bright workaholic, the Border Collie is an amazing dog'¿maybe a bit too amazing for owners without the time, energy, or means to keep it occupied. These energetic dogs will settle down for cuddle time when the workday is done. Borders are athletic, medium-sized herders standing 18 to 22 inches at the shoulder. The overall look is that of a muscular but nimble worker unspoiled by passing fads. Both the rough coat and the smooth coat come in a variety of colors and patterns. The almond eyes are the focus of an intelligent expression'¿an intense gaze, the Border's famous 'herding eye', is a breed hallmark. On the move, Borders are among the canine kingdom's most agile, balanced, and durable citizens. The intelligence, athleticism, and trainability of Borders have a perfect outlet in agility training. Having a job to perform, like agility'¿or herding or obedience work'¿is key to Border happiness. Amiable among friends, they may be reserved with strangers.

GetALong Dachshund Rescue

About this Rescue

GetALong Dachshund rescue is a Dachshund rescue serving Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. We step up for Senior Dachshunds and those with severe medical needs. We also rescue young dachshunds. Our main purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home our dachshunds in forever homes to live their lives in a safe loving environment.

We sometimes find ourselves providing loving arms and a safe foster home for the severely ill to live out their last days being loved and cherished, sadly all too often they are experiencing this love for the very first time.

Many of the dachshunds we get are abandoned in shelters because they can no longer provide their owners with healthy puppies to be sold. Or they have gotten old and are in need of medical attention so they are sent to the shelter for someone else to care for. All too often the only medical care they have ever had was their first shots as puppies.

Some of the Dachshunds who come to us are purebreds. They come to us in all shapes sizes and colors. If you are truly looking for a pet that wants nothing more then to please you and love you, then please consider adopting one of our seniors. They are full of love and ask for nothing more than to be loved in return.

BARI- Bari’s estimated birthday is 8/19/12, a very slim 11 lb, handsome reddish tan boy with white markings, he is fostering with IGCA Rescue North Texas. Bari is a special needs puppy mill rescue still working hard on socialization, human trust and physical attention. Everyone who spends time with Bari grows to love him. The happy dance he does, when he knows he is going outside, and his frolic through the yard as he runs back to the door is joyful to watch. He fits in beautifully with a group of dogs as he is easy and demands no attention causing jealousy. He prefers his kennel and a comfortable bed to toys and attention. Do you and your pets have a place in your home and hearts to become Bari’s forever family?

TAVISH-If you’re looking for a very loving, calm IG in his middle years, Tavish is your lad. Tavi (also known as Butterbean) is a charmer and whip-smart. He already knows many commands/words and learns more as his foster mom teaches him. Tavi loves a routine and finds it comforting to know what’s happening (and when) as regards to walks, potty breaks and feeding. This is partly the breed and also due to his blindness, caused by cataracts. Please don’t think of Tavi as a “special needs” dog; his foster mom believes he has been blind for quite awhile, since he’s very comfortable with his sight loss. He gets to know his home pretty quickly to make his way around and will zero in on your location when you say, “come!” and clap hands. He’s just a regular dog who happens to be blind.

EMMA ROSE- I'm a chill girl just looking for someone to snuggle with. I love laying outside in the grass just soaking up the sun and am very comfortable with using a supervised doggie door. I'm patient with my hyper foster sister and have never had a single issue with food aggression, even when foster sister tries to steal my treats! Emma Rose has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. She is currently symptom free (we found the mass by chance, during a routine vet visit) and has started treatment. At this time she is expected to have a good quality of life for at least the coming year, if not longer.

WALLACE- Wallace is a sweet boy who has made amazing progress during his time in rescue. He came to us from a puppy mill and was terrified of everything. People were very scary and it took a couple of months before he would willingly let his foster mom pet him. Wallace has discovered the joy of toys and he has become more and more playful. He loves the other dogs in the house and will frequently be seen cuddling with them on a dog bed. While Wallace has made a lot of progress, he is still continuing to grow. When new or confusing situations present themselves, he will get scared and is unsure of how to react. He is looking for a patient and loving home to help him as he continues on his journey, and you will be rewarded with lots of love!

Spay/Neuter Your Pet

as seen at:https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-petcare/spayneuter-your-pet

By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis. Millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (female pets) and neutering (male pets).

Here are some of the medical benefits:

Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases.

Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.

And behavioral benefits:

Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they'll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!

Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house. Once he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other animals.

Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering.

Spaying/neutering your pets is also highly cost-effective. The cost of your pet's spay/ neuter surgery is far less than the cost of having and caring for a litter.

Debunking Spay/Neuter Myths and Misconceptions

Spaying or neutering will not cause your pet to become overweight. Lack of exercise and overfeeding will cause your pet to pack on the extra pounds—not neutering. Your pet will remain fit and trim if you continue to provide exercise and monitor food intake. Neutering is not a quick fix for all behavior problems. Although neutering your pet often reduces undesirable behaviors caused by a higher level of testosterone, there’s no guarantee that your dog’s behavior will change after he’s neutered. Although the surgery will reduce the amount of testosterone in your dog’s system, it won’t eliminate the hormone completely. Neutering will also not reduce behaviors that your pet has learned or that have become habitual. The effects of neutering are largely dependent on your dog’s individual personality, physiology and history.

About us

LARAS House Shelter is a 501(c)3 No-Kill Animal Rescue Organization located in Mexia, Limestone County, Texas. The organization started in 2008, and our shelter opened its doors in 2010. At any given time we may house as many as 100 + dogs and puppies and often a similar number of cats and kittens at both the shelter and in our foster care homes.

Our intakes usually come from Limestone County, Freestone County, Leon County, Navarro County, McClennan County and sometimes much further. People that are seeking a no-kill shelter come to LARAS House. We adopt well beyond those boundaries for the right 'forever home' fit. We adopt out-of-state as well and partner with Rescues and Shelters across the United States.

New Favorite Day Rescue

TASHA HILTS HENDLEY AXL OUR MISSION

New Favorite Day was founded in 2020 to fill an unaddressed need in Rains County, TX. Rains County, the 4th smallest county in Texas, has no animal control, no intention of providing government assistance, and an intense stray and unwanted animal population. We work closely with fellow rescues in our county to help find unwanted pets homes (in Texas and other states alike), keep our citizens safe, and raise each other up.

Our goal is to have a central location in Rains County to provide pet resources to allow owners to keep their pets, locate lost & found pets, and give unwanted pets a loving temporary home until their forever home finds them.

Our Story

PoundPup and Friends Initiative - PPFI·Wednesday, January 22, 2020·

PoundPup originated in 2010, when our founder went to the local “pound” to pick up Polly (that’s her stray photo from the shelter website). Polly was apparently deaf and blind, and had mange. Her prognosis did not seem to be very good, and shelter staff released her free of charge, in hopes that she may have a few good days in a loving home. Many medical treatments later, Polly emerged healthy and very spunky. This is when PoundPup and Friends founder, Liz Rainey, realized that with proper funding, we could probably save a lot more animals from going to the pound, or getting adopted out of the shelter. An idea was born, but lack of funding soon stopped the program. But the idea lingered in Liz’s head, and on August 17, 2017, she filed the necessary paperwork to get PoundPup and Friends Initiative formally registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We want to assist displaced, stray or unwanted pet animals in an effort to keep them out of shelters and avoid euthanasia or exposure to dangerous elements, human or natural.

Complete Care:

From the moment that your pet enters our care, we adhere to the strict guidelines and standards set for by the International Association of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories.

Pet Angels guarantees that ashes that are returned are genuine. We use the Pet ID Tag system originally developed for human cremation. This Pet ID Tag can withstand temperatures exceeding 2800 degrees and will remain on your pet throughout the entire cremation process.

What is Pet Cremation?

The staff at Pet Angels Cremation would like to express’s our deepest sympathies for your loss. We recognize that the love shared between a pet owner and a loyal pet is undeniable. In our opinion there is no better tribute to a fallen companion than to memorialize the love shared between an owner and pet through cremation. This allows pet owners to say goodbye to their four-legged companion in a dignified and loving way. We offer both Private and Simple Cremations, which are explained below.

Cremation Options:

Private: This is a private cremation service where your pet’s remains are separated from others. The pet’s ashes are returned to the pet owner in a beautiful urn of their choice. Also included in a private cremation is our Essential Remembrance Package.

Simple: This is a “group” cremation where several pet companions are placed into the chamber together. There is no ash return with simple cremations. We will dispose of the pet’s ashes in a beautiful setting never to be disturbed.

Atlas was a mostly feral wolfdog who had been running loose near Winnfield, Louisiana for close to two years after his family moved and left him there. We agreed to take him if he could be trapped. Our VP along with a wonderful woman who lived in Winnfield finally caught Atlas, but not until somebody shot him point blank in the face. He almost lost his life right when Trish was gaining his trust. His story is a particularly tragic one, but he will be forever safe with us. He is a fractured, broken soul and we love Atlas very much.

Tiny is from a litter of wolfdog puppies that I raised for someone. I ended up rescuing all of them. The two males were placed with a friend who is experienced with wolfdogs and they will never be used for breeding. The females ended up staying here at the sanctuary. Potential adopters all wanted to use them to produce puppies they could sell. Tiny was a teeny tiny runt. After her bottle she always fell asleep on my lap or shoulder. She was a feisty little girl and holds a very special place in our hearts. She was the first puppy to howl and it was an adorable teeny howl. Tiny and siblings are upper mid content wolfdogs. Her brothers DNA tests came back at 83 and 87 percent wolf content.

Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains in Greentown, Pa. Our mission is to provide the best possible long-term care for displaced senior German Shepherds. (Senior being 8 years and older.)

We also provide sanctuary for senior German Shepherds with Degenerative Myelopathy which is a disease that affects the spinal cord, resulting in slow progressive hind limb weakness, paralysis, and eventually death.

Displaced senior German Shepherds have come to us from as far south as Florida and as far west as California, but we primarily focus on Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.

We are a cage-free, home environment on a little over three acres where the senior German Shepherds in our care get 24/7 supervision, the best medical care, high-quality dog food and home-cooked meals, lots of orthopedic dog beds, plenty of short frequent walks, and lots of love and interaction with people and other dogs.

Fun facts

Cows poop up to 15 times a day, which can be as much as 115 pounds of manure per day, or approximately 21 tons per year. The large quantities are often put to good use, though – manure, to fertilizer, to fuel, or biogas to create electricity and heat for developing parts of the world.

Heart Of Texas Lost & Found

Want proof that microchips help reunite pets with their families? Meet Angel.

Angel is an Akbash/Pyrenees mix who went missing two and a half years ago. Her dog father, Doc Paulson, worked extra hard to prevent the gentle but cunning escape artist from finding her way out of the fence. But one day, she left and didn’t return. He called her microchip company, posted her online. He searched and searched and searched— all to no avail.

In December of 2021, one of our volunteers. Susan Widaski notified our rescuers of a large white dog living in a wooded area in Woodway, TX. It had been there for months, being diligently fed by a gentleman close by. Unfortunately, the dog evaded rescue.

In January, rescuer Tammy Andrews set up a trap for the elusive giant. She taught the Good Samaritan techniques for enticing the pup to the trap with food. Finally on February 22nd, it was was trapped and secured by Stephanie Cobbs. Who than brought her to livestock guardian dog expert Gail Forrest! After a microchip scan, it was discovered the pup was Angel. Doc Paulson’s beloved missing fur baby.

If Angel didn't have a microchip, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been reconnected with her family. The happy ending was tear filled and joyful! (Check out videos here: https:// www.facebook.com/groups/hotlfp/ permalink/3244701029106608/

THANK YOU!

Dog adoption from Zoi's starts with a general application. The application is used to evaluation not only the basic requirements for one of our dogs, but it also is used to make sure that the dog you are interested in is ideal for you. Some of our dogs come from difficult situations and we want to make sure that your adoption experience is a great one. We are adopting out family members and prefer homes where the animal is in the home, we do not generally adopt to outdoor only homes unless a dog requires it. Access to a fenced yard is also preferred, but dog friendly apartments are common these days and will be dependent on the dogs personality. Once the application is submitted it will be reviewed and if accepted we will arrange for you to take the dog home.
