Pet Deposit – A one-time fee that protects the landlord and the property from damages made by a pet. It may or may not be refundable depending on the condition of the unit once the tenant moves out. If there are damages, the pet deposit will cover the repairs. If not, the tenant gets to keep the deposit.

Pet Fee- A non-refundable charge tenants pay in a rental unit for the privilege of keeping a pet with them. Like a pet deposit, it is also a one-time fee.

Pet Rent – A recurring charge that is added to a tenant’s monthly rent. Like a pet fee, the pet rent is also for the privilege of keeping a pet in the apartment unit.

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district forbade bringing of animals and pets into school properties unless it was for learning purposes with the permission of the school principal. But recently, they have amended the rules regarding that.

Now, assistance dogs are allowed as long as the animals are certified and will not roam around school facilities. This allowed support for individuals with autism, seizures, and hearing problems.

Every dog to enter school premises based on the amendment must be a therapy, guide, or a service dog with a vest for identification. But first, parents must write a letter to the school district regarding the entry of the service dog. Attached to the letter should be a diagnosis of the child from a professional with a recommendation to use an assistance animal.

Beethoven is a deaf 7-year-old, 100-pound mix of American Bulldog, Shar-Pei, Alaskan Malamute, Bullmastiff, and Terrier. Despite his disability, he never lets his deafness get in the way of providing relief for patients who are in the direst situations.

Some of the patients Beethoven has taken care of is a teenage boy with Huntington’s disease. He couldn’t move any part of his body but a single finger. Yet, the boy’s eyes lit up when he held Beethoven’s leash a month before he died in hospice care.

We owe Beethoven’s dedication as a therapy dog to his handler, Cynthia “Shanon” Zeisloft, a Muscogee County Sheriff’s Deputy. She is better known as Lt. Z or just Z.

A long time ago, U. S. Army Staff Sergeant Nick Vallejo arrived in Afghanistan for deployment. He met “Bane”, a 3-year-old Labrador-Collie Mix whose ears and tail were partially cut off by the barbaric locals. Bane had been seeking Nick out every breakfast where they both shared bacon.

Just about six months ago, SSgt. Vallejo made a plea for taking Bane home with him. His letter reached the inbox of Tory Mettler, a volunteer for Lorain County Dog Kennel and Fido’s Companion.

But before that, SSgt. Vallejo consulted with his wife Emily about taking Bane back home with him. Then they began raising $5,000 through an organization called Nowzad. Bane now lives with SSgt. Vallejo and his family in the U.S. where he will be given all the love and care he deserves.

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.

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.
