Sergeant’s Pet Care Products Distributes Pet Health Kits To Animal Shelters Nationwide

Gail — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:11:01 +0000

Take the FREE Pledge and help bring pet health to shelters.  
Pledges received through June 30 trigger kit donations worth up to $250,000 with the help of American Humane Association

OMAHA, Neb., May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, a leading pet care product company, with the help of American Humane Association, is distributing Pet Health Kits worth up to $250,000 to shelters nationwide as part of its emBARK on Pet Health program.

The emBARK on Pet Health campaign asks pet owners to take a free pledge to become more mindful of their pet’s ongoing needs at www.embarkonpethealth.com. Each pledge triggers the donation of a Sergeant’s Pet Health Kit, which will help one of the millions of animals waiting for their forever homes at local shelters nationwide.

Sergeant’s Pet Care Products is committed to donating up to 5,000 kits, which will ensure these animals are sent home with all the products they need to get started on a healthy and happy life after adoption. With nearly 4,500 pledges taken to date, there is still time for consumers to visit the site and take their pledge so even more kits can be delivered to community shelters.

“There are millions of animals looking to be adopted in shelters nationwide at any given time,” said Patsy Sumner, vice president of marketing services. “We hope the Sergeant’s Pet Health Kits will give families an additional incentive for considering adoption this summer, knowing they will not only leave with a new lovable family member, but also with all the tools they need for a healthy start together.”

The first batch of Pet Health Kits will be delivered beginning June 3. Local shelters receiving the kits include:

   -- Humane Society of Atlantic County in Atlantic City, N.J. 

   -- Big Dog Rescue Ranch in Wellington, Fla. 

   -- Humane Society of North Texas in Fort Worth, Texas 

   -- Animal Aid USA/Miracle Ranch in Williamston, N.J. 

   -- Tri County Humane Society in Boca Raton, Fla. 

   -- Stanislaus Animal Services Agency (SASA) in Modesto, Calif.

All new pledges received from now until June 30 will benefit additional shelters, including:

   -- Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in Teterboro, N.J. 

   -- Guardians of Rescue in Smithtown, N.Y. 

   -- Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, Nev. 

   -- Five Acres Animal Shelter in St. Charles, Mo.

Each Pet Health Kit, estimated at a total retail value of $50, features the most popular Sergeant’s products designed to keep pets healthy every day. These products include:

   -- Sergeant's Fur-So-Fresh Whiff Shampoo 

   -- PurLuv Sizzlin' Strips 

   -- SENTRY Petrodex Dental Kit 

   -- SENTRY Calming Collar for dogs with Good Behavior pheromone technology 

   -- Sergeant's Vetscription Joint-Eze Plus

“Research shows that people with dogs or cats live longer, healthier and happier lives,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and chief executive officer of American Humane Association. “With these Pet Health Kits, we are hoping the newly adopted dogs will also go on to live long lives with all the tools they need for proper health.”

One Picture Saves A Life Free Workshop – June 15, 2013

Gail — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:13:01 +0000

Love photography? Love shelter pets? Join One Picture Saves a Life and The Animal Foundation for the One Picture Saves a Life Las Vegas Workshop.

8 million dirty, scared, and disorientated pets enter shelters each year – and the photos taken are what people see when looking to adopt. One Picture Saves a Life’s mission is to provide shelter staff and volunteers with the resources to successfully groom and photograph shelter pets, helping give them the second chance they deserve.

The public workshop will be a presentation by Seth Casteel covering some tips and tricks for taking better photographs of shelter pets, and will include a Q&A session and an Underwater Dogs book signing. We will help pair you with local shelters who need volunteers so you can put what you learned into action!

There’s a limited amount of space, so it’s first-come, first-served – sign up now! Apply, and One Picture Saves will email you closer to the event to give you more details.

Submit your application in the “Public Workshop” tab at http://www.onepicturesaves.com/get-involved/

June is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month

Gail — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 14:59:12 +0000

By Jane Harrell, Petfinder.com associate producer

June is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month and, with kitten season upon us, there are more cats in need than ever. Check out the articles here for great information on adopting a cat, a cat adoption checklist and more!

Thinkstock

But what if you can’t adopt? Here are some easy ways you can still help:

Donate your Facebook status. Just paste this message into the “What’s on your mind?” box at the top of your page: “June is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month. Save a life: Adopt a cat! http://www.petfinder.com”
Tweet, retweet and repeat the following (or your own brilliant message): “June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month. Save a life: Adopt a cat! http://www.petfinder.com”
Contact your local shelter or rescue group (you can search for groups near you here) and ask if they have a donation wish list or other flyer they’d like to you to post around your office or neighborhood. They may be holding special events for Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month which you can help promote.
Share an adoptable cat or a Petfinder cat-adoption Happy Tail on your blog, Facebook or Twitter page each day of the month.
Sign up as a foster parent or shelter volunteer then tell your friends how great it is. Contact your local shelter or rescue group, or register in our volunteer database.
Add a Petfinder widget or banner to your Web site or blog.
Write an op-ed about the importance of pet adoption for your local paper.
Contact your local shelter or rescue group and offer to photograph their adoptable pets and upload the pics to Petfinder.
Donate to your local shelter or rescue group or to the Petfinder.com Foundation in honor of Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month.
Pass on an understanding of the importance of pet adoption to the next generation. Talk to your kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and other up-and-comers about animal shelters and why Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, and pet adoption in general, is important.

“We are so excited to receive this award,” Bob Vetere, president and CEO of APPA. “Our main goal with the ‘Pet Interviews’ video series and the campaign as a whole is to promote multiple pet ownership and we could not be happier to see what a huge success the series has become.”

Video submissions are judged by expert practitioners and are evaluated based on how thoroughly they have met communication objectives. One winner, along with honorable mentions, is awarded in each category.

Grantham’s videos have received more than 100 million views and were named No. 2 on YouTube’s Top 10 videos of 2011.

Founded by APPA, the non-profit PAL campaign is designed to demonstrate the joys and benefits of responsible pet ownership and encourage increased animal adoption.

In Honor Poem – Please read and share

Gail — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:31:27 +0000

No matter how much you do; whether you rescue, foster, give hours, a can of food or share this, THANK YOU!

In Honor of those who rescue and support them.

My job is to assist God’s creatures.

I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs.

I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures without planning or selection.

I have bought dog food with my last dime.

I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand.

I have hugged someone vicious and afraid.

I have fallen in love a thousand times.

And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body too many times to count.

I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends.

I don’t often use the word “pet”.

I notice those lost at the road side and my heart aches.

I will hand raise a field mouse and make friends with a vulture.

I know of no creature unworthy of my time.

I want to live forever if there aren’t animals in Heaven, but I believe there are.

Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind?

Some may think we are masters of the animals, but the animals have mastered themselves…something people still haven’t learned.

War and abuse make me hurt for the world, but a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind.

We are a quiet but determined army and we are making a difference every day.

There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan, nothing more rewarding than saving a life, no higher recognition than watching them thrive.

There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play who, only days ago, was too weak to eat.

By the love of those who I’ve been privileged to rescue, I have been rescued.

I know what true unconditional love really is, for I’ve seen it shining in the eyes of so many, grateful for so little.

I am an Animal Rescuer.

My work is never done.

My home is never quiet.

My wallet is always empty, but my heart is always full.

~Author Unknown

ASPCA Names The Animal Foundation a Participant in The Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project

New program will help thousands of dogs and puppies find loving homes
through relocation from overcrowded shelters

LAS VEGAS, NEV. — The Animal Foundation today announced that it has been selected by the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) to participate in The Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, a new $1 million initiative that will fund much-needed treatments and services for shelter dogs and puppies at municipal animal sheltering organizations, ultimately preparing them for transport from overcrowded shelters to give them the best chance of finding permanent, loving homes. The project is being made possible thanks to a generous donation from Mrs. Carroll Petrie, a respected international philanthropist.

“We are so excited to be selected as a Petrie Foundation participant,” said Christine Robinson, Executive Director of The Animal Foundation. “The funds we receive will go a long way in finding animals who have ended up in our care through no fault of their own their forever homes.”

The Animal Foundation will use funds from the Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project to expand its rescue department and ultimately place more animals with its local and regional rescue partners. In 2012, The Animal Foundation placed 1,776 dogs with rescue partners (a more than 19% increase over 2011), and plans to increase placements in 2013 with assistance from the Petrie Foundation.

The ASPCA, through The Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, aims to save 16,600 dogs through a per dog or puppy subsidy for each animal transferred out through the following types of programs:
• Transfer to rescue groups;
• Transfer to other shelters;
• Adoptions through “Foster Adoption Ambassador” programs; or
• Adoptions through permanent off-site partner locations.

The subsidy per dog or puppy can be used for anything from crates and gasoline purchases for transport vehicles to “make-ready” veterinary services for the dogs (i.e. spay/neuter, health certificates, vaccines) that will prepare them to leave the shelter. The subsidy will only apply to lives saved above and beyond each participating groups previous year’s numbers.
For more information about The Animal Foundation, please visit www.animalfoundation.com. To provide a temporary home for an animal not yet ready to be adopted, consider becoming a foster parent. Email Register to see e-mail address for more information.

ANIMAL FOUNDATION SEEKING DONATED LINENS

Gail — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:27:25 +0000

Nonprofit The Animal Foundation, 655 N. Mojave Road, one of Nevada’s largest open-admission animal shelters and pet adoption centers, is seeking donations of new and gently used linens, including: towels, blankets, sheets, pillowcases, T-shirts and sweatshirts.

During summer, The Animal Foundation receives more than 100 animals per day.

Donated linens are used to make the animals more comfortable and to keep the young and underweight animals warm.

Due to the cleaning procedures for donated linens, items must be washed in a high bleach-to-water concentration, which breaks down materials quickly.

Additionally, once an item has been torn, it cannot be used again. Items with stuffing (comforters, pillows, dog beds, etc.) can only be used once as they cannot be completely disinfected.

Linens can be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily at the shelter. For more information, visit animalfoundation.com.
