HAPPY NATIONAL MUTT DAY!

 

HEY GUYS! 🐾

PLEASE READ MY MOM'S POST FOR NATIONAL MUTT DAY! YOU SEE I ASKED HER TO PUT IT OUT FOR ALL MY FRIENDS!!!

December is the time of year filled with holidays, family, friends and good cheer. But let’s not forget our faithful canine companions, especially the mixed breeds. Twice a year on December 2^nd, and July 31^st, we celebrate National Mutt Day, also known National Mixed Breed Dog Day. This day was created in 2005, by Colleen Paige, an Animal Welfare Advocate. Her intent is to raise awareness of the unfortunate situation that mixed breeds face in our nation’s shelters as approximately 80% of the dogs in the shelters are mixed breeds. The pure breeds that end up in the shelters are generally rescued quickly by individuals who purchase these dogs for considerably less or they are rescued by a pure breed rescue organization.

The ASPCA notes, “approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters every year”. Many dogs that enter the shelters are often abandoned or abused, but each one deserves a forever home. Sadly, a large percentage of dogs that are euthanized due to the continual over-breeding and the sale of pure-bred puppies by puppy mills to pet stores that are ill or neglected.

Many mixed breeds possess unique characteristics that result from the mix of their breeds. They tend to be healthier and live longer and their behavior is often better. They learn and obey commands just as easily as a pure-bred. They are competent at performing the tasks of search and rescue, bomb detection, drug sniffing, and as guide dogs. They also provide us with health benefits such as daily walks along with social interaction with our neighbors.

So, this holiday season visit your local shelter and you may find your perfect companion. There are many healthy and loving mixed breeds desperately waiting for their forever homes. If adoption/fostering is not an option, donate food, supplies or a financial donation. Each shelter has a wish list, and they appreciate your donations. If you need more convincing to adopt a mix breed, just remember Benji, a mixed breed Terrier famous for several films from 1974 through the 2000’s and Spike, a Labrador Retriever/Mastiff mix who was best known as Old Yeller and the list goes on.

“In every heart, there is a hole. In every shelter, there is love in which to fill it.” ~ Collen Paige

WHY DO WE FOSTER?

 HEY GUYS! 🐾

 WHY DO PEOPLE FOSTER A PET? WELL, HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS!

-          IT SAVES LIVES FROM OVERCROWDED SHELTERS.

-          IT GIVES THE RESCUE GROUPS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE A DOG’S BEHAVIOR AND PERSONALITY IN A HOME.

-          YOUNG PUPS CAN BE TAUGHT BASIC MANNERS BEFORE ADOPTION.

-          YOU CAN PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR A DOG TO DECOMPRESS.

-          YOU CAN PROVIDE HOSPICE CARE FOR A SICK OR SENIOR DOG.

-          YOU CAN PROVIDE AIDE WHEN THERE IS A NATURAL DISASTER.

RESCUES OFTEN SUPPLY FOOD, LEASHES, CRATES, VETERINARY CARE, AND TRAINING FOR THE FOSTERS. FOSTERING IS A TEMPORARY COMMITMENT AND THE REWARDS CAN BE WONDERFUL, FROM COMPANIONSHIP, TO FEELING GOOD ABOUT SAVING A LIFE, TO THOSE SNUGGLES, PLAYTIMES, AND THOSE WARM AND SLOPPY KISSES. IT MAY BE HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FOSTER PUP WHEN THEY ARE ADOPTED, BUT REMEMBER YOU SAVED A LIFE!!! 

THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS IN NEED OF RESCUE AT NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILTIY PLEASE CONSIDER BEING A FOSTER. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE GO TO THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE TO SEE THOSE IN NEED AND YOU CAN CONTACT VIA EMAIL Kathleenfrett1@gmail.com.

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.

SHE WAS LIVING IN A CRATE THERE FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG AND NOW SHE HAS BEEN IN THE SHELTER FOR 8 LONG MONTHS. SHE IS IN NEED OF RESCUE AS SHE GUARDS HER FOOD. THIS BEHAVIOR MAY HAVE RESULTED FROM HER BEING IN THAT TERRIBLE SITUATION. ROSIE IS 3 YRS OLD, WEIGHS 40 POUNDS, IS SPAYED, UP TO DATE ON HER SHOTS, HEARTWORM NEGATIVE, AND MICROCHIPPED. LET'S HELP ROSIE AND SHARE HER STORY AND FIND AN APPROVED 501(c)3 RESCUE TO PULL HER FROM THE SHELTER. ANY RESCUE THAT CAN HELP CAN EMAIL: kathleenfrett1@gmail.com.AT NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY. HASN'T ROSIE SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH AND PAID THE PRICE?

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! 🐶

PLEASE HELP OUR SHELTERS!

 HEY GUYS, 🐾

HERE'S A COMMENTARY FROM MY MOM!

WHAT DOES EUTHANASIA MEAN? WELL, IT'S DERIVED FROM THE GREEK LANGUAGE MEANING "GOOD DEATH".  IT MEANS TO DELIBERATELY END A LIFE DUE TO PAIN AND SUFFERING. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S ALWAYS HAPPENING IN OUR SHELTERS TODAY. DUE TO THE OVERCROWDING, TOO MANY HEALTHY ANIMALS ARE BEING EUTHANIZED JUST FOR SPACE. THESE ANIMALS DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE! THEY SHOULD BE IN THEIR FOREVER HOMES, LOVED AND CARED FOR TILL THEIR END. 

HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS THAT OUR SHELTERS ARE OVERCROWDED:

- PUPPIES AND KITTENS BORN WHO ARE UNWANTED AND HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF FINDING A HOME. THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET.

- TOO MANY UNREGULATED BREEDERS. 

- AS FAMILIES ADJUST TO POST PANDEMIC LIFE, THEY ARE FINDING IT DIFFICUTLT TO CARE FOR THEIR PETS OR THEY NO LONGER WANT THEM.

- HOUSING CHALLENGES, AS PETS ARE NOT ACCEPTED OR THERE ARE WEIGHT OR BREED RESTRICTIONS.

- LACK OF ADOPTERS OR FOSTERS. 

I WILL NOT DISAGREE THAT THERE ARE REASONS TO EUTHANIZE AN ANIMAL, AS IN THE CASE OF PAIN AND SUFFERING. BUT OUR SHELTERS ARE IN CRISIS WITH TOO MANY HEALTHY ANIMALS IN NEED OF A HOME AND THE SHELTERS HAVE NO MORE SPACE TO ACCOMODATE THEM, THEREFORE, MANY ARE EUTHANIZED, THIS IS A SAD REALITY, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES. SUPPORT THE RESCUES THROUGH FOSTERING OR ADOPTING A PET. CONTACT OUR POLITICIANS TO MAKE CHANGES TO IMPROVE OUR SHELTERS. SO, HERE'S A THOUGHT.......

SO, PLEASE CHECK OUT "FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY" FACEBOOK PAGE TO ADOPT, RESCUE OR FOSTER! YOU CAN BE THE LIGHT OF THEIR LIVES!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMANE?

 

MY MOM'S COMMENTARY!

- WHAT DOES HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS MEAN? TO ME IT MEANS COMPASSION, KINDNESS AND BEING CONSIDERATE IN THE TREATMENT OF OUR ANIMALS IN LIFE AND IN DEATH. 

- WHAT DOES ANIMAL SHELTER MEAN? TO ME IT MEANS A TEMPORARY HOME OR SANCTUARY TO KEEP DOGS, CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS SAFE UNTIL A FOREVER HOME CAN BE FOUND FOR THEM.

- WHAT DOES HUMANELY EUTHANIZE MEAN? TO ME IT MEANS TO GIVE REST TO A PET THAT IS TERMINALLY ILL AND SUFFERING OR IS TOO OLD TO GO ON WITH A QUALITY OF LIFE. WHEN IT COMES TO BEHAVIORAL ISSUES THE JURY IS OUT FOR ME. 

SADLY, I SEE THE FACES OF SO MANY DOGS AND EVEN PUPPIES THAT ARE POSTED ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE TO BE EUTHANIZED IF NOT ADOPTED OR RESCUED. TOO OFTEN THEIR CRIME IS DUE TO LENGTH OF STAY AND LACK OF SPACE FOR INCOMING DOGS. THEN THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE EUTHANIZED DUE TO BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS. (IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT AN ANIMAL'S BEHAVIOR CAN DETERIORATE AS A RESULT OF BEING IN A SHELTER).  I LOOK AT THEIR PICTURES AND I SEE HOPE IN THEIR EYES FOR A FOREVER HOME THAT MAY NEVER COME AND I AM DEEPLY SADDENED. SOME OF THE SHELTERS THAT COMMIT THESE "HUMANE EUTHANIZATIONS" ON A REGULAR BASIS ARE: NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, CALIFORNIA, TEXAS (SAN ANTONIO, HOUSTON, FORT WORTH, DALLAS), FLORIDA (MIAMI DADE) AND THERE ARE MORE IN OUR COUNTRY. EVEN "NO KILL" SHELTERS CAN EUTHANIZE 10% OF THEIR ANIMAL POPULATION AND MAINTAIN IT'S "NO KILL" STATUS.

I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE A COUNTRY IN CRISIS NOT ONLY FOR US BUT ALSO REGARDING OUR ANIMALS! THERE ARE TOO MANY PUPPY MILLS AND BACKYARD BREEDERS, TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO HARM OR KILL ANIMALS, TOO MANY SHELTERS THAT ARE UNDERSTAFFED OR MISMANAGED, TOO MANY IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS WHO DO NOT SPAY OR NEUTER THEIR ANIMALS, AND TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO SURRENDER THEIR PETS BECAUSE "THEY ARE NOT A FIT FOR THEIR FAMILY" OR "I HAVE NO TIME FOR THEM"!!! I BELIEVE THAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDS TO BECOME MORE HUMANE IN THE TREATMENT OF OUR ANIMALS, SO MORE ANIMAL LIVES CAN BE SAVED. SO LET'S START BY OPENING YOUR HOME AND YOUR HEARTS AND ADOPT, RESCUE AND FOSTER!

ROSIE, HAZEL AND CHEVY IN URGENT NEED OF RESCUE!!!

URGENT RESCUE NEEDED!!!

ROSIE, HAZEL AND CHEVY ARE IN NEED OF A RESCUE! 

FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY POSTED A PLEA FOR HELP ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THE THREE PUPS BELOW: (MY MOM CONDENSED SOME OF THEIR INFORMATION)

ROSIE: "Back in early December this beautiful girl was one of 180 animals rescued from hoarding hell in Brick Township. Rosie, like many of the other dogs in this nightmare, was found shoved in a crate, piled one on top of another. Rosie is the last remaining hoarding dog at our location in Jackson and she is still in desperate need of help. Rosie failed her temperament test for guarding her food, can anyone blame her after what she went through? Who knows what she was fed, who knows how often she was fed, but unfortunately because she does guard her food she needs rescue by an approved 501(c)3 Rescue. Please any 501(c)3 Rescue that can help, or if there is someone out there willing to foster this sweet girl for a Rescue, please email kathleenfrett1@gmail.com and please keep sharing for our last remaining hoarding survivor! Rosie"

HAZEL: "She came into the shelter at the same time of the hoarding dogs back in December. She was only 8 months old!!! Her people dumped her and got themselves a new puppy. She is literally growing up in the shelter and thinks this is her life. Well Hazel this is not your life and we are on a mission to find you a forever family. Hazel passed all temperament testing but is in need of rescue because she can be nervous around new people.. Any 501(c)3 Rescue that can help Hazel, please email kathleenfrett1@gmail.com. If you are interested in fostering, please message us as hopefully we can connect to a rescue. Hazel comes with a small sponsorship to any rescue who can pull her. This is being donated by the volunteers who walk her."

CHEVY: "This fantastic boy is still in desperate need of a 501(c)3 Rescue! Chevy is the nicest boy who ended up in the shelter through 100% no fault of his own. Unfortunately, he needs rescue for food. Chevy just needs someone to love him and of course throw him tennis balls all day. Chevy is dog friendly but due to his size and energy he may be too much for some dogs. Any rescue that can help please please reach out to kathleenfrett1@gmail.com. If anyone is interested in fostering this great boy, please reach out. We have rescues that want to help him but they need fosters!"

PLEASE HELP THESE BEAUTIFUL PUPS!

REMEMBER!

TODAY IS NATIONAL ADOPT A SHELTER PET

 

HI GUYS! 🐾

TODAY IS THE DAY TO GET OUT AND VISIT YOUR LOCAL SHELTER BECAUSE IT'S NATIONAL ADOPT A SHELTER PET DAY!!! THE AMERICAN HUMANE SOCIETY CREATED THIS HOLIDAY IN 1981, TO RAISE AWARENESS OF DOGS STUCK IN SHELTERS. BUT EVENTUALLY PET OWNERS WANTED THIS DAY TO INCLUDE EVERY PET IN A SHELTER. SO NATIONAL ADOPT A SHELTER PET DAY WAS BORN!

DID YOU KNOW THAT IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 6.5 MILLION ANIMALS GO INTO ANIMAL SHELTERS IN THE U.S. EVERY YEAR. DID YOU KNOW OF THE 6.5 MILLION ANIMALS, 3.3 MILLION ARE DOGS AND 3.2 MILLION ARE CATS. SADLY DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF PET SHELTERS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY OVER 1.5 MILLION ANIMALS ARE EUTHANIZED EVERY YEAR OF WHICH 860,000 ARE CATS AND 670,000 ARE DOGS. 

SO, PLEASE GET OUT AND SAVE A LIFE. THE FOLLOWING QUOTES SAYS IT ALL!
