SO WHAT ABOUT ROSIE?

 HEY GUYS! 🐾

SO, WHAT ABOUT ROSIE? SHE IS THE LAST REMAING DOG WHO CAME FROM THAT TERRIBLE HOARDING CASE BACK IN DECEMBER IN BRICK! HAVE WE SO QUICKLY FORGOTTEN THAT SITUATION?  ROSIE IS STILL AT THE NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY. THE SHELTER NOTES ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE: "ROSIE WHO IS A PETITE 40 POUND HOUND MIX, IS EASY TO WALK AND EASY TO HANDLE. ALSO, SHE DOESN'T MIND OTHER DOGS." SADLY, ROSIE NEEDS A FOSTER (MOM/DAD) AS SHE FAILED HER TEMPERAMENT TEST FOR FOOD. ROSIE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH AND SHE DESERVES TO BE IN A LOVING FOSTER HOME. 

SO, LET'S GET THE WORD OUT AND SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA ROSIE'S STORY SO WE CAN FIND HER A FOSTER! WE JUST DID FOR STAN LEE AND HE WAS RESCUED, NOW LET'S DO IT FOR ROSIE!

CELEBRATE NATIONAL DOG DAY & CLEAR OUR SHELTERS!

 

HEY GUYS! 🐾

NOT ONLY IS TODAY "CLEAR THE SHELTERS", BUT IT IS ALSO NATIONAL DOG DAY! SO MY MOM WROTE THIS ARTICLE IN HONOR OF NATIONAL DOG DAY. WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY IT! 

                                                     NATIONAL DOG DAY

As a pet parent of two beloved dogs, I am writing about National Dog Day, which is celebrated on August 26, each year. This day honors our canine companions and promotes the rescue of dogs from abuse and homelessness. “National Dog Day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation. Their motto is "Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time". President George W. Bush, a dog owner himself, sent a letter to the foundation in support of National Dog Day.”

Not only do our dogs provide us with love and companionship, but they also play an important role as service and/or therapy dogs. Trained dogs lead the blind, the visually impaired and assist the deaf and hard of hearing. They aid physically disabled individuals who have mobility issues. Some dogs are trained to be medical response dogs in aiding individuals with medical constraints such as epilepsy or diabetic conditions. Research shows that dogs are beneficial as constant companions to children with autism for they help the child in building relationships and with interactions. Other dogs are be trained for search and rescue or to seek out bombs and drugs.

Our dogs may not be service/therapy dogs, but I believe that they are an important part of our life. Dogs improve our mental health by reducing our stress when we stroke them, they keep us fit when we go for walks, and they provide us with a sense of security. They are not judgmental, and they give us unconditional love. Their crazy antics can make us laugh and raise our spirits. I chuckle when I think of my two large dogs taking over our bed, forcing us to sleep on the edge all night. I wouldn’t trade them for the world for they bring joy to my life. I wish all dogs could have a forever home where they are safe and loved, no dog should ever be homeless or abused. Let’s honor our loving companions on this day and maybe we can open our hearts and homes to help an abandoned dog, for so many are in need.

          PLEASE ADOPT, RESCUE, FOSTER, AND CLEAR OUR SHELTERS!

ANIMAL SURRENDER AND SHELTER INTAKE FACTS

HEY GUYS! 🐾

MY MOM WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU THE RESEARCH THAT SHE FOUND REGARDING PET ADOPTION STATISTICS FOR ANIMAL SURRENDER AND SHELTER INTAKE.

-  6.3 MILLION ANIMALS (CATS AND DOGS) ENTER THE SHELTERS EACH YEAR. THAT'S AROUND 17,260 ANIMALS THAT ENTER A SHELTER ON A DAILY BASIS.

-  JUST OVER 4 MILLION (CATS AND DOGS) ARE ADOPTED EACH YEAR.

-  SADLY, 920,000 ANIMALS THAT ARE SURRENDERED ANNUALLY ARE EUTHANIZED, OF WHICH 670,000 ARE DOGS,

-  THE MOST COMMON DOG BREED IN A SHELTER ARE PITBULLS, FOLLOWED BY LABRADOR RETRIEVERS, GERMAN SHEPHERDS, DASCHHUNDS, CHIHUAHUAS AND BOXERS.

-  SOME OF THE COMMON REASONS THAT ANIMALS ARE SURRENDERED: DEATH OF AN OWNER, HOUSING ISSUES, FINANCES, AND AGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR.

-  THE RATE OF ADOPTION IS HIGHER FOR PUPPIES THAT ADULT DOGS.

-  THERE ARE OVER 70 MILLION PETS (DOGS OR CATS) THAT CURRENTLY LIVE AS STRAYS IN THE UNITED STATES. 

-  STATISTICS SHOW THAT OVER 10 MILLION ANIMALS DIE EACH YEAR AS A RESULT OF ABUSE AND DOGS MAKE UP 65% OF THIS FIGURE. 

-  THE TIME AN ANIMAL STAYS IN A SHELTER BEFORE BEING EUTHAIZED DEPENDS ON THE LOCATION AND TYPE OF SHELTER. SOME SHELTERS HAVE A 5-DAY HOLD POLICY WITH EUTHANIZATION ON THE SIXTH DAY AND OTHERS HAVE 3 DAY HOLD POLICY. THE NO-KILL SHELTERS OFFER A PERMANENT SHELTER FOR THEIR ANIMALS. 

-  CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, NORTH CAROLINA, FLORIDA, AND LOUISIANA KILL MORE THAN 50% OF ALL DOGS AND CATS IN THE UNITED STATES.

- THE MAIN REASON ANIMALS IN SHELTERS ARE BEING EUTHANIZED IS DUE TO OVERCROWDING AND SHELTERS CANNOT SUSTAIN THESE ANIMIALS. SADLY, THEY ARE PUT TO SLEEP.

THESE STATISTICS ARE SOME OF THE EYE OPENING REASONS THAT THERE IS A PET CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY. MORE ANIMALS ARE BEING SURRENDERED THAN ADOPTED. UNFORTANELY, MANY OF THESE ANIMALS THAT ARE EUTHANIZED IN OUR SHELTERS, COULD HAVE BEEN PLACED IN FOSTER CARE OR A FOREVER HOME. EVEN WITH AN INCREASE OF NO-KILL SHELTERS, CHANGES STILL NEED TO BE MADE. WE CAN DO THIS BY FOSTERING OR ADOPTING. IF THIS IS NOT AN OPTION, THAN CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING AT YOUR LOCAL SHELTER AS THEY CAN USE THE HELP. SHELTERS ALWAYS NEED DONATIONS, OR FOOD AND PET SUPPLIES. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...GET THE WORD OUT AND SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THE SHELTER PETS IN NEED OF RESCUE OR ADOPTION, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED.

CLEAR THE SHELTERS STARTS TODAY!!

 

 

HEY GUYS, 🐾

TODAY STARTS "CLEAR THE SHELTERS", AND IT RUNS FROM AUGUST 1ST TO AUGUST 31ST. THIS IS THE 9TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR THAT NBC-UNIVERSAL IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TELEMUNDO AND AFFILIATED STATIONS ACROSS OUT COUNTRY INCLUDING PUERTO RICO ARE TEAMING UP WITH LOCAL SHELTERS AND RESCUES TO PROMOTE ANIMAL ADOPATIONS AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE. THIS MONTH-LONG EVENT SUPPORTS MANY SHELTERS AND RESCUES THAT CARE FOR OUR VULNERABLE ANIMALS. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE: "SINCE 2015, CLEAR THE SHELTERS HAS HELPED MORE THAN 860,000 PETS FIND NEW HOMES. LAST YEAR'S CAMPAIGN SET A NEW SINGLE-YEAR RECORD WITH MORE THAN 161,000 ADOPTIONS, WHILE RAISING MORE THAN $540,000."

SO, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LOYAL COMPANION, VISIT YOUR LOCAL SHELTERS AND BE PART OF THIS WONDERFUL EVENT. SO MANY ANIMALS ARE IN NEED OF A FOREVER HOME. IN YOUR SEARCH FOR YOUR BEST BUDDY, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A SENIOR PET. THEY HAVE SEVERAL ADVANTAGES, THEY ARE TYPICALLY HOUSEBROKEN, CALMER, AND LESS DESTRUCTIVE THAT PUPPIES. SADLY, THEY ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN THE SHELTER AS THEY HAVE AN ADOPTIONS RATE OF 25% COMPARED TO 60% ADOPTION RATE FOR PUPPIES PER THE ASPCA. BUT WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE, SENIOR, ADULT, OR PUPPY, REMEMBER YOU ARE MAKING A COMMITIMENT TO PROVIDE YOUR COMPANION WITH THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE!

P.S. IF YOU CAN'T ADOPT, PLEASE FOSTER, VOLUNTEER, OR DONATE, THE SHELTERS AND RESCUES CAN ALWAYS USE YOUR HELP! THANK YOU!

CHEWY MAN AND FAMILY! 🐶
