Tips for caring for pets

Dog Adoptions

Animal Rescue
Second Chance Dog Rescue is one of San Diego’s largest and most successful non-profit 501c3 organizations dedicated to saving homeless dogs. JARR exists to foster harmony between humans, animals, and the environment in order to create a kinder, more compassionate world. Once you have visited with a pet and decide you’d like to adopt, you will fill out an adoption application. Most animal rescues charge a fee for adopting a rescued dog, in order to cover the expenses they have incurred on that dogs medical care or to aid in the care and rescue of other needy pets.

Pet parents know how expensive vet visits can be. Imagine the cost of caring for 1700 dogs in just six years. Speranza is located on a 17.5 acre horse farm in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, which provides the perfect setting to offer time, patience and love to those animals needing a second chance.

You may want to start a rescue because you love animals, but you still will have to effectively communicate with people. Many animal shelters handle all types of animals and you will find kittens, puppies, and even older pets available for adoption. With approximately 40,000 dogs, cats and small animals euthanized in L.A. annually at a cost of $14 million, it is a crisis in need of resolution.

All adoption services end 30 minutes before the ARL closes, so please plan to arrive at least one hour before closing if you plan to visit with the animals. Sarge’s original mission is to save animals from euthanasia in the Haywood County Animal Shelter, because when we started, more than 50 animals per week were being put down because of lack of space.

Adoption Process

People leave their unwanted dogs and other pets on the roadside or fields or woods under the assumption that by instinct they will revert back to wild and survive; in reality this is not the case. Through the PFE program, individuals ages 60 and older can get $50 off the adoption fee of a cat of any age or dog 6+ months. The National Aquarium Animal Rescue Program has successfully rescued, treated, and returned nearly 100 animals to their natural habitats—led by only a handful of paid staff and a network of well-trained, big-hearted volunteers.

Although a foster network also requires an enormous amount of dedication and comes with its own set of challenges, you benefit by having a network of people to help share the care, financial responsibility and adopting out of animals. When it comes to pet adoption, you have a few options: You can go to your local animal shelter or humane society; visit your nearest rescue group; or answer ads that you find online or in your newspaper.

President Elect Training

Do you have an unruly dog or cat that just won’t behave? People love to praise their dogs and sometimes they are so anxious to do this that the animal is hearing a string of “Good Boys,” but it has not yet completed what he was supposed to. Over time this tells the puppy that he does not have to sit all the way down but rather a slight crouch will do. The puppy will believe that close is good enough.
