Summer is here and it will be a hot one. Please be mindful walking animals on pavement, this can burn their pads, which is very painful. Touch the surface with your hand if you can't keep it on the surface for 10 seconds you will burn their paws.

K-9 killed in Franklin Co. shootout honored statewide in funeral service by: Darran Todd Posted: Apr 18, 2022 / 03:44 PM EDT Updated: Apr 18, 2022 / 09:24 PM EDT

as seen:https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/k-9-killed-in-franklin-co-shootout-honored-statewide-infuneral-service/

FRANKLIN COUNTY, NC (WNCN) – On Monday, the Franklin County Sheriff’s office honored one of their own in a traditional celebration of life. A K9 officer, by the name of Major, was shot and killed in the line of duty on April 10. This all happened during a shootout with an armed robbery suspect in Granville county. CBS 17 attended the ceremony along with more than 100 officers from all across the state who came to pay their respects to Major, who they said was a faithful servant and a great friend. State troopers, Clayton Police, Wayne County Police, and Nashville Police were just a few of the agencies in attendance. Corporal Jamie Lariviere was Major’s partner for the past two years and spoke with a CBS 17 crew about his loyal companion “That dog saved my life and very well could have saved my teammate’s lives,” he said.. “The law enforcement community is strong and the people that do this job love to do it. They don’t second guess coming out every day and it shows that they came here to support me,” he said. Deputies said the 21-year-old suspect accused of killing the K-9 is William Darius Eichelberger. They say Eichelberger stole a car in Granville County and they later found him hiding under a house. It was at that home, where deputies said Eichelberger shot at them and they fired back. Sadly, Major lost his life during the exchange. We asked Cpl. Lariviere if he would do things differently if he could go back in time. “I don’t regret anything that we did. We made a decision as a team and I felt a calling that that was mine and Majors’ job to do that day. That the Lord blessed us with the opportunity to do that. I don’t regret anything that we did,” he said.

Happy Hounds Dog Training 10 Steps to help your new dog start off on the right paw By Pat Marshall

Set your new dog up for success. Let him know what he is allowed to do. Show him where he is supposed to

potty, what he is allowed to play with and what he is allowed to chew on. Give him time to settle into your home and routine before exposing him to a lot of new people and places. Prevent your new dog from practicing undesirable behaviors. Manage the environment by using crates, baby gates and leashes. Anytime you can’t watch your dog, please put him in his crate. Dogs that are given too much freedom too soon get into trouble. As your new dog learns the rules of your household, he can be given more freedom. Control resources. You have immense power in this dog’s life, both to enrich it and to give it structure. Dogs love structure and crave mental stimulation. You could give him a bowl of food for free which he eats in a minute or less and forgets about, or you can use the food for a training session. If you don’t have time to train that day, put the food in a Kong or Buster Cube so that he gets some exercise (physical and mental) while he is eating. Be generous and creative with rewards. Most dogs respond well to food, so using their dog food for training gives them a “job for pay”. Many dogs love balls and toys and would be thrilled to work for the joy of playing a game with you. Teaching your dog to sit to get games started and to give up toys when asked will help them learn self control and make the game much for fun for both of you! Don’t expect your other dogs to love the new guy or vice versa. Give them time to get to know each other before they spend much time together. It’s great when the new dog fits right in, but that doesn’t always happen. It is much easier to avoid jealousies and fights in the beginning than to try and fix problems later. Each dog also needs individual time with the people in the family. Make good manners a part of life for your dog. Dogs that learn to sit for everything don’t get into trouble for jumping on people. They also learn to wait their turn instead of barking for attention. Teach your dog how to ask for something nicely by sitting instead of barking or jumping up. Reward your dog when he is calm and minding his own business. If your dog is lying down quietly, drop a piece of kibble next to him as you go by. Reward him whenever he is being calm and you will see him start to be much calmer in general. Exercise your dog! A tired dog is a happy dog and is much easier to live with. Most dogs need more than just a walk around the block, so teach the dog to love playing fetch, Frisbee or some game that uses up a lot of energy. Find a good training school that uses positive reinforcement methods. Taking a basic class with your new dog will help him learn to bond closer to you and your family. Most rescue dogs have never had any training and don’t realize how much fun it is to work for a person. Your new dog will also learn to pay attention to you and ignore other dogs which will make it much easier when you take him for walks! Ask for help if you are having any behavior issues. Most dogs that are given up to shelters and rescue groups just need to be shown what to do so that they can become good companions. Have FUN with your new dog! You are both starting on a great new adventure together and I hope you have many wonderful years together!

About This Shelter Our mission is to prevent euthanasia of unwanted, abandoned, and abused puppies, pregnant, and small dogs. Bi-Stone Small Paws Rescue provides foster and veterinary services, including spay/neuter and arranging adoptions and transfers to no-kill shelters.

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

Education, not shame

Visit our main website here: https://www.cribs4canines.com

In a perfect world, every dog on the planet would be living in the comfort of their human’s home; snuggled up on the couch or snoring from their dog bed. However, this isn’t how things are at all. Our team members have witnessed the evil and harsh reality of what dogs endure in this cruel world. They are the voice for these helpless animals and at times also a savior. Our team is comprised of passionate souls that want nothing more than the welfare for the dogs in the community to be treated fairly, kindly, and at the very least humanly. At the very start of 2019, a group of animal rescuers in Waco, TX set out on a mission to help members of the community to take better care of their backyard dogs. With no shelter, these dogs stood helplessly in the rain, bared the wind with no protection, and curled up in a ball in hopes of staying warm at night. They went out searching for used dog houses or igloo shelters, collected old blankets and straw, and gave them to the homeowner at no cost. This act of kindness became a regular thing and within a matter of weeks, donations from various companies, individuals, and groups started pouring in…giving Cribs for Canines enough materials to make 200 dog houses. The intent was to place the houses throughout McLennan County, to dogs in need of shelter. The mission isn’t just protect the dogs. Dog ownership requires a large amount of responsibility : food, water, and shelter. Public laws are in place to prevent dogs from going without but it is often overlooked and ignored. Cribs for Canines want owners to keep their dogs, and by providing them the means to take care of their dogs properly: they keep dogs in good homes, off of the streets, and out of the shelter.

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. madisonbrookeohler@gmail.com

Dog Breed

:Staffordshire Bull Terrier https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/staffordshire-bull-terrier/ HEIGHT 14-16 inches WEIGHT28-38 pounds (male) 24-34 pounds (female) LIFE EXPECTANCY 12-14 years

About the Breed

From his brawling past, the muscular but agile Staffordshire Bull Terrier retains the traits of courage and tenacity. Happily, good breeding transformed this former gladiator into a mild, playful companion with a special feel for kids. At 14 to 16 inches, Staffies do not stand particularly tall. But, weighing anywhere between 24 to 38 pounds, Staffies pour a gallon of dog into a quart-size container. These are rock-solid, muscular terriers. The head is short and broad, with pronounced cheek muscles, and the tight-fitting coat comes in several colors. Staffies still resemble the pugnacious brawlers who once ruled England's fighting pits. But today's responsible breeders are producing sweet-natured, familyoriented Staffies with a reputation for being a patient nanny dog for kids. These are true-blue loyal companions, but the old fighting instinct still lurks within, making it vital that Staffie pups be socialized with other dogs to learn good canine manners.

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.

Temple TX Call us at 254-771-9090

www.petangelstx.com

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!

As summer heats up, it’s tempting to bring your pet with you on car rides around town. Sadly, many people believe that cracking a window is enough to keep their dogs cool in the car while they make a quick pit stop—but they couldn’t be more wrong. When it’s 80 degrees outside, your car will be a staggering 114 degrees in less than 30 minutes. Worse still, dogs can’t cool themselves down as easily as people, and once they overheat, they can suffer extensive organ damage or die. That’s why leaving an animal alone in a car is more than just a bad idea, it’s a form of animal cruelty. And since the ASPCA can’t be everywhere at all times, we need YOU to be our eyes and ears on the ground. That’s why we’ve created a hot weather safety infographic that you can share with friends and family on your social media networks, alerting others to the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars.

How To Tell If Your Pet Is In Pain Animals cannot tell us when they are not feeling well or are hurting so pet parents need to become adept at reading the sign(s) their pets exhibit when they are in pain.

www.aztecpethospital.com

1. Excessive Vocalizations - These may include whining, whimpering, yelping, growling, snarling, and even howling. 2. Focused Grooming - Dogs in pain will often lick their paws to soothe themselves. They will also clean and care for themselves if there is a wound present but may also lick an area when an internal pain is present in an attempt to fix it. They will also lick their paws to rub their eyes if they are experiencing eye pain. 3. Sleeping, Drinking and Eating - Many dogs may sleep more when in pain either because they are trying to heal or it is painful to move around. A loss of appetite and changes in the way and amount they drink is also common. 4. Changes in their Breathing - Is your dog panting even though he/she hasn't been exercising? Does his/her breathing seem faster or more shallow? These can be signs that it hurts him/her to take a breath. 5. Changes to their Eyes - When a dog has eye pain they may squint and their pupils may be smaller. However, the opposite is true for pain in other parts of the body, the pupils will appear larger. 6. Cannot get Comfortable to Rest - Is your dog sitting or lying down in an unusual position? Are they having trouble staying put? For example, they may try to sit or lie down and then almost immediately get up and move around again. 7. Withdrawing or Seeking Attention - Some pets will try to distance themselves from you or even hide, whereas others will want constant attention. 8. Aggressive Behaviors - When animals are injured or in pain they will often react by growling or trying to bite you so use caution when dealing with your pet. Even your normally docile animal may react this way. On the other hand, dogs that are normally aggressive may be more docile when in pain. Pay attention to changes in your pet's behavior. If you notice any of these signs please make an appointment to have your dog seen by your veterinarian. The earlier we find out what the problem is the sooner your buddy gets the help he/she needs. Cats are notorious for not showing when they are in pain but if you watch for the following signs you can get your feline friend the help he/she needs now. Hiding. Cats will likely bite or scratch, and they aren't discriminatory so be careful. They will react when the painful area is touched or moved but, also when they think they are going to be touched or moved. Sitting still and hunched up. Breathing - They may breathe faster and more shallow than normal and may even pant. The movement of their stomach and chest muscles may be different as both are used in the breathing process. Loss of interest in people, other pets, or activities. Neglecting to groom themselves or over-grooming in one area. Purring, excessive meowing or unusual vocalizations. Most people interpret purring as confirmation their cat is content and happy but purring can also signal your fur baby is in pain if he/she is also exhibiting one or more of the signs stated here. Purring may even increase if a cat is experiencing pain. Eyes - As with dogs, a cat's eyes can be very telling when they are experiencing pain or discomfort. This is true both for eye pain itself and for pain elsewhere in their body. Often times pain elsewhere in the body will result in larger (dilated) pupils, while pain in the eye(s) can result in either larger or smaller (constricted) pupils – depending on the underlying injury or disease process, and whether one or both eyes are affected. Squinting may indicate pain, either in the squinting eye(s) or elsewhere in the body. Similarly, a “bloodshot” appearance can indicate pain in the affected eye(s). Restlessness or aggression toward friendly surroundings. Going outside the litter box or not using it at all. Loss of appetite or drinking less. If the cause of their pain is their teeth or mouth they may drop food or water out of their mouth.

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.

Happy New Year! 2012 is going to be a wonderful year for animals in San Antonio. You may be aware already that the Austin city shelter has gotten to a greater than 90% save rate due largely to the efforts of Austin Pets Alive! The great news is that San Antonio Pets Alive! has already been formed to make San Antonio a No Kill City with an estimated life-saving launch date of 1/19/2012. This new organization will use best practices from many different cities to get to a No Kill San Antonio as fast as possible - which would make us the largest U.S. city to be No Kill! The world has long believed that there are not enough homes for the pets killed in shelters but according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are over 100,000 homes available to new pets in San Antonio each year. If we convince just 20% of those homes, through marketing, awareness, and adoption events to adopt a shelter pet instead of purchasing a pet, enough animals will be saved to make San Antonio a No Kill City (where only terminally ill or dangerous animals are euthanized). Currently, the city of San Antonio euthanizes

over 18,000 animals per year, or around 50/day. This is a crisis that needs immediate attention. SAPA will have a laser-like focus on the dogs and cats who are literally hours from euthanasia, and will provide temporary and emergency foster homes, medical aid, and adoption services to make sure they survive. Our first priority will be to save every single puppy and then move on to saving every single kitten, then on to the adults who end up on the euthanasia list. Just like every animal ends up in the shelter through the action of one person, we need for every animal to get out of the shelter alive through the action of individuals like you who all step up to help. It is going to take the San Antonio community to help make this a success! Let’s all make a New Year’s Resolution to save our San Antonio animals! San Antonio Pets Alive’s success will be possible because of YOUR thoughtful contributions (time and money). Because only by working together can we reach a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. Your tax-deductible gift will give hope and a loving home to San Antonio’s animals. Please don’t delay. I urge you to give

your most generous gift now so that we can rescue animals that are currently in danger of euthanasia and help re-home them in the new year! Thank you and bless you for your kindness In partnership and excitement Dr Ellen Jefferson Executive Director

Services 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.

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.

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/)
