The animal service of Madison County posted a photo of a visibly emaciated dog on Facebook after they found seven neglected dogs in the mountain county. The dogs were said to be found flea-ridden, parasite ridden, have urine/feces scalded feet, and were scared as they dodged cars in the unfamiliar place with people trying to catch them.

In the Facebook post, they said, “Our shelter had room to take them in, the owner just had to call us. There are food pantries in the county for people who cannot afford to feed their animals, you just have to call. We have an organization in the county that helps with parasite prevention and vet care. Again, you just have to call. The level of neglect in these dogs is inexcusable!”

If you are a pet owner struggling to feed your pets in North Carolina kindly call the Animal Service at 828-649-3190 or Friends of Madison County Animals at 828-649-9798.

Tamworth Family Support Service welcomes the new legislation changes to ADVO. Its purpose is to help take a step towards domestic violence prevention by making the harm of a family pet a crime. 

Tamworth Family Support Service Manager, Lynda Townsend has seen cases where the women of Tamworth and their children have been traumatized as abusive partners harm or threaten their beloved housepets.

Through the new legislation, abusive partners are now easily detected, warned, and penalized. “A lot of women delay leaving because of fear to their pets, so hopefully this will make that real change,” said Townsend. Along with refuge environments, kennels will also be erected to help fleeing women take their pets with them.

Sarah Flickinger of Elliottsburg is a 2009 West Perry graduate. She started Flickinger’s Paws & Claws pet grooming way back in 2018 at Mifflintown. Her goal was to provide a better service in pet grooming than those from national chains.

All of the products they use are all-natural as they avoid chemicals that are harsh to animals and humans. After getting a lot of requests from Newport pet owners, she decided to expand and open a new shop there.

Flickinger said, “I had a lot people from Perry County inquire about service, but for many of them Mifflintown is too far of a drive.” The Paws & Claws in Newport will be open for appointments on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 am to 4 pm as well as Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 am to 4 pm.

Back in 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 10 which led to 1,800 deaths and $125 billion worth of damage. Ray Nagin who was the mayor of that time, issued a mandatory evacuation order where somewhere between 150,000 to 200,000 people didn’t follow. 19% of these people who didn’t flee had one reason – they didn’t want to leave their pets behind.

Fast forward today, a time when the pandemic is at its rise, what would be the reason for pet owners to avoid and delay testing or hospitalization? There would be four: lack of their pet’s accommodation, lack of pet care in their absence, not wanting to be separated, and not wanting to bother other people for pet care.

The Petco Foundation released an $825,000 investment to top veterinary oncology universities in the United States. This is to help pet parents cover the cost of cancer treatments their pets face.

Susanne Kogut, president of the Petco Foundation said, “Pet cancer is the #1 disease-related killer of dogs and cats, and a devastating diagnosis for pet parents who cannot afford treatment for their pets. With all the strides being made in the veterinary oncology field increasing treatment options for our pets, our goal is to make these lifesaving treatments available to more pets and their pet parents.”

Since 1999, the organization has invested more than $280,000,000 for animal lifesaving and will continue to do so.

Guests of all needs are welcome Orlando in theme parks including Disney. This makes them highly regarded due to their commitment to accessibility. Service animals can enter without question. But there is a difference when it comes to Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) because the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) doesn’t consider them as “Service Animals”.

According to Disney, an ESA can enter depending on the tasks it’s trained to do. For example, if the ESA is trained to calm down its owner when they suffer a panic attack, then the animal is welcome to enter the theme park. However, Disney requires the owner to put the animal in a leash or a harness at all times.

When the pandemic struck, a wave of panic-buyers caused a shortage of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, and puppies. You read that right. The demand and adoption application for dogs was high. While that may be good news because a lot of dogs deserve proper care rather than being in rescue shelters, this high demand for dogs isn’t beneficial.

The 400% rise in adoption application in the United States was only for designer dogs and pedigreed canines which leaves the others in shelters without families. MaryPat Thate, a New Hampshire breeder of Australian Labradoodles said, “I am sold out for the next nine months.”

What’s more alarming is, shelters are bracing for the lockdown dog bubble to pop. This is because once everything goes back to normal, everyone will be disinterested in the dogs causing an influx in rescue shelters.

Our canine companions are gifts from a mighty authority. Most of the time, they live with us in our homes guarding our properties. Other dogs work with the government and private entities to help find missing people, sniff out illegal objects, or track criminals and terrorists.

But there is one category of heroic canines that deserve as much respect – assistance dogs. There are two categories of assistance dogs. The first is a service dog which helps the physically impaired such as the blind for navigation and those with mobility problems.

The second are therapy dogs who provide comfort to those who are facing mental distress such as post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, and depression. If you ever come across one assistance animal at work, show appreciation by not distracting the pooch from their duty.
