There is no vaccine yet and the virus still continues to put the entire planet in a recession. The news we receive from the T.V. and the Internet aren’t reassuring as well. For some of us, this can be quite alarming, depressing, or anxiety-inducing.

If you’re a part of the population who have been negatively affected by the current state of the world. Now may be the best time for you to get an emotional support animal. A new survey from CertaPet, a Texas-based company found that people who have gotten emotional support animals are better off mentally.

As Prairie Conlon, clinical care director of CertaPet, states “This study demonstrates that what those in animal assisted therapy spaces have long known: That a pet can drastically increase your quality of life.”

Last December 2, the Department of Transportation announced that it is currently revising the Air Carrier Access Act on the transportation of service animals via airplanes. The purpose is to ensure a safe and accessible air transportation system.

However, this does not mean that other trained service animals will leave their impaired owners. Service animals like guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, and mobility assistance dogs for those with mobility problems will remain permitted to stay in the passenger’s cabin alongside those they serve.

Emotional Support Animals will be considered as pets and their owners with a mental illness with a legitimate clinical diagnosis will have to pay travel fees.

Dogs of different breeds like Pit Bulls and Dobermanns are considered Emotional Support Animals (ESA) because ESAs do not fall under the category of pets under the Fair Housing Act or Americans with Disabilities Act. 

However, if a person declares a dog to be their ESA, no matter what breed it is, that person must provide sufficient documents that they are in need of the dog and that dog is recognized as a therapy animal for the person.

These documents are provided by the mental healthcare professional who treats the person in need of the ESA. If the healthcare practitioner comes from out-of-state and the authority seeking documents is from a different jurisdiction, the healthcare professional must indicate that they have provided services to the person with an ESA at least once before giving an opinion.

Derval O’Rourke wanted a dog so much so she told her husband about it. Then her husband answered her that if she made it to the top eight of the race she was going to run in and broke the Irish record at the World Outdoor Championships, they would get a dog.

She ran well and finished fourth at the race. They then got a dog who was two months old at the time and named her Berlino – the name of the competition mascot. O’Rourke said, “Berlino has brought so much joy into our lives. If I’d had a bad race, I’d lie on the floor and she’d end up lying on top of me. If there’s anything wrong with me she’s very intuitive about it. She’s an amazing companion. We know she won’t live forever, but the amount of joy she has brought us, we know that when the time comes, it will basically be a celebration of her doggie life.”

The Dolgeville group does a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program for cats. First, they spay and neuter cats that were trapped humanely. Then, they are given anti-rabies vaccines and are taken to a place for care, food, and shelter. This is called The Dolgeville Forward C.A.T. Project and it has helped more than 100 cats in the colony.

This year, the project will participate in the Staffworks Fund Save A Life Campaign. The campaign will then match donations from Nov. 30 through Dec. 31 to other animal welfare organizations throughout New York State and Pennsylvania.

To help support the organization and its efforts, mail to Dolgeville Forward C.A.T. Project, PO Box 71, Dolgeville, NY 13329. You can also donate through the Paypal link on the Facebook page at Dolgeville Forward C.A.T. Project Trap/Neuter/Return.

Carrots the blind cat wins the 2020 Blue Cross Medal for Britain’s most heroic pet after bringing happiness and comfort to patients and their families at Bradford’s Marie Curie Hospice. He works as a therapy cat and sits beside patients twice a week to be petted relieving them from feeling anxious and depressed.

“I’ll never forget one evening when we received a call from the hospice to say there was an older man facing difficult circumstances. He was very distressed and agitated and was requesting a visit from Carrots When he saw me with Carrots on my shoulder at the door, he immediately relaxed. Shortly after Carrots snuggled down on the bed with him, the man fell asleep,” said Katie Lloyd, Carrots’ owner.

Pets are for life and also cost money – Make sure that whoever you’re going to give a pet to can commit and afford taking care of animals and won’t just leave them at shelters when the going gets tough. Pets are part of a family. They require love, food, shelter, and healthcare as well just as humans do.

Pets are not toys – Animals have minds of their own and could potentially bite back due to primal behavior or if something is done to them they don’t like. If the recipient doesn’t know how to train and cannot understand an animal, both the person and the animal will suffer.

Due to the current pandemic, cancellations of events are everywhere. The Paul Bunyan Dog Training Association therapy dogs have also been affected by these cancellations. They usually visit patients at hospitals or seniors at care homes. But these places aren’t welcome to visitors at the moment.

Instead, the dogs and their owners visited and cheered the students of Bemidji State University in Minnesota. George the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Skye the Golden Retriever, Norway the Mayor Dog, and Hero the Chihuahua were the four stars of the visit.

“Under current conditions, we are doing more with outdoor visits, coming around to nursing home windows, or stationed outdoors near a facility for staff or visitors to stop by for puppy hugs and snuggles as needed,” said Tracy Parthun, Therapy Dogs volunteer and Skye’s owner.

Sarah Cummings had been in the field of animal care for the last 10 years. Right after she graduated from high school, she has been working as a veterinary technician for different veterinary hospitals since 2010.

But like everyone else, this year wasn’t also good for her. She got laid off from her job in a small clinic that was practiced by a family. So she started doing online consultations and formally set up Underdog Enterprise, a dog-training and animal services business last March.

Most of her clients are dogs but her services are diverse and depend on the animal customer. “It’s a discussion of what do you need,” She said. You can visit “The Underdog Enterprise” on Facebook or call 607-437-9607 for more information.
