I f
the two of you sit at home
on a Saturday night charmed
with each other, but not the
crowds or the cost of going
out these days, consider
sharing your home and love
with a rescue cat or dog.
Layoffs
have stifled the American
Dream for many pet lovers.
People are losing their
homes while an
ever-increasing number of
family pets are entering the
local shelter system and
starting a life of
uncertainty.
Community Animal Network's
rescue phone lines are
flooded with calls from
those who are seeking help
because they know that
sickness and death lurk
behinds the municipal county
shelters' walls.
However, the same
problem faces all local
animal organizations: the
availability of funds and
volunteers to foster or
house animals in their homes
is not in proportion to the
number of animals needing
help.
You can
help by opening your home to
adoption or volunteering
your time to become a
pet-foster to an animal in
need. Rescue animals that
live in homes rather than in
kennel cages while waiting
for new homes have a better
chance of being adopted
because their caregiver can
tell the prospective
adopters about the animal’s
personality and house
manners and there is less
risk of sickness and
disease.
If you are unable to
adopt or volunteer, please
consider giving your support
to local animals through
monetary donations.
Local
animal rescue organizations
are not well-funded or
well-stocked with
|
continued from left...
volunteers which can lead
to cries for help going
unanswered and phone
management becoming
neglected.
Reflections of today’s
economics affect local
animals when people are
forced out of their homes
and into "no-pet" housing,
or when the owners in with
family members who are
often allergic to pets.
Many frustrated
callers claim to be huge
animal lovers that donate
regularly but can’t find
help for their pets. That
is because most donate
after watching a sad
animal rescue story on
television or after
receiving the latest
subscription newsletter
from a national charity.
Please know that those
funds are not available to
local animal
organizations that work in
your area. Without
donating locally, these
animal groups cannot offer
to help animals in our
neighborhoods.
Meet Community Animal
Network rescue cats,
kittens, and dogs by
appointment at Fashion
Island pet adoptions
between the hours of
12:00pm and 4:00 pm,
sponsored by Russo's Pet
Experience.

Willow Loves all toys and especially
the scratching post.
Willow always wants to be near you
and will sit on your lap. He likes to sleep with you and will follow
you everywhere, he will even follow you into the shower! However, he
will hide when strangers visit.
He loves to have his tummy rubbed and lay on his
back and likes to be carried like a baby over your shoulder.
The Family was forced to give
up the cat due to their adult daughter being hospitalized and unable to
take care of herself any longer. Mother asthmatic.

SICKNESS Or DEATH
It’s A Simple Dollars And Cents Decision!

DiAnna
Pfaff-Martin, The Animal Network of O.C

We know everyone would like help save -a-life and that is
why people consider adopting from the local shelter, or an animal rescue
group.
But before you do, you may want to know a few things;
First, you may be surprised to know that animal rescue groups are
not all the same! "Pro-Humane"
animal rescue groups operate under the same guidelines as
"Pro-Humane" animal shelters; meaning no all rescued will be
provided for until adoption. Especially those needing veterinary
expensive medical treatments.
Pro-Life /
Pro-Quality-Life animal rescue groups cover the cost of veterinary
care, surgeries and continual care for animals within the group. We
hope that you choose to support the animals within our Network of
local people rescuing and caring for animal in their home.

People haven't considered that adopting from a local shelter could
cost you transporting your new animal to and from the vet to treat
the common upper respiratory and kennel cough. And don't believe
that you could endure the suffering and heart ache if you were to
return the animal to most likely be euthanized.
If saving your bank account is important then you
should know the facts. Shelter animals often get sick 7 - 1 days
after you have adopted them and need treatment. If you don't have
the funds available your animal could suffer and if you have other
animals in your home the highly contagious upper respiratory
condition could be passed on.
The "real" cost of you new shelter pet will skyrocket
due to expensive treatments. Choose
Your New Pet Wisely! |
