 Happy Dog Days

       

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Fox Fences on Lockport Road for their generous donation of 50 feet of fencing. This will enable us to expand our dog play yard to include a second fenced area, allowing our volunteers to socialize, train and play with more of our homeless dogs at one time. Time spent out of their kennels meeting new people and being showered with love is critical to the happiness and well being of the critters at the shelter. Thank you Fox for making their day!!!

  Hot Weather Hazard


 

Summer has arrived and loads of folks are out soaking up the sunshine. Many dog owners enjoy bringing along their four legged best friend when pursuing summer pleasures. We would like to remind everyone to be cautious and to keep your pooch cool and safe as the temperature climbs ever higher. Sometimes it is best to leave Fluffy safe at home.

Dogs have very few sweat glands that are located on their paw pads. When the temperature soars, the only means a dog has to cool himself is through these sweat glands and by panting. These weak methods are quickly overcome by high temperatures and a dog can rapidly succumb to heatstroke.

The most common cases of heatstroke involving dogs have to do with leaving a dog in a vehicle on a hot day. Well-intentioned owners often feel that leaving the windows cracked and returning to the car in a short amount of time are sufficient precautions to take. The reality is, even with the windows down the temperature inside the car can quickly reach 120 degrees or more, which can be deadly for your pet!!

       Problems With Pulling?

    

Is your dog always in a hurry? Does he drag you along when he goes for “his” walk? If so, try the following tips to help educate Fido that these walks are for both of you and there is no pleasure to be had when he is yanking you along.

Leash manners need to be taught to your dog, and not all methods work for every dog. As with all types of training keep sessions short, so your dog does not become bored. Train often and try to keep things lighthearted and fun. If you find yourself losing patience stop immediately and begin again at a later time when you are calm.

You can teach your dog to formally heel by your side and to concentrate on you and nothing else, but we are going to focus on being able to take a nice walk with your pet that you can both enjoy. Dogs usually pull you along because they naturally move at a faster pace than we do and they are usually in a hurry to visit all the smells along the way. Dogs often pull because they have excess energy they need to wear off, so if you can exercise him some before beginning his leash training, it would be beneficial to do so. This can be accomplished by playing fetch or other active games in a fenced yard or hallway. You can also begin training your dog to be calm even before your walk begins. If your dog becomes so excited by even seeing you reach for her leash, you must insist she be calm before proceeding with her walk. Does she jump and spin excitedly? Ignore your dog and wait quietly until he has settled. If she begins to bounce again, complete the process until your dog can calmly begin her walk.

Interested In Helping With The Oil Spill?

** Help Our Planet **

Bring Your Pet Hair, Wool and Bird Feathers to

A Pawsitive Experience

to Help Contain the Deepwater Oil Spill

  • Wondering what to do with all that pet hair shedding all over the house, auto, clothes and clogging your vacuum?
  • Feel a desire to extend a hand to someone outside the home?
  • Have lots of gently used clean nylons, maybe a run or two in them?
  • Frustrated with the current Deepwater Horizon oil spill and would like to help?

Beginning IMMEDIATELY - A Pawsitive Experience will be accepting the items listed below, to forward to "A Matter of Trust." A Matter of Trust is a San-Francisco based non-profit who has been accepting donations of non-filthy pet fur (since 1998) for crafting oil-absorbing hair-mats and hair-stuffed containment "booms" made from recycled pantyhose. The pantyhose legs, when filled with fur, wool, hair or feather, work as containment tubes to surround the oil, which clings to the tubes (but is not absorbed) making it a good natural cleaning aide.

What is needed and how to package:

  1.  

Every type of fur, horse hair, wool waste (from you sheep if you have them) and feathers. Make sure there is no trace of garbage, metal or paper in with the hair/fur.

  1. Washed nylon stockings, even with runs.
  2. Place in separate clear plastic bags (nylons separately, separate different types of pet fur/feathers, where able, etc.)
  3. Label it "debris free (fur, feathers, wool)" and "washed nylons."

Prepare and bring your donations on over. A Pawsitive Experience will do the rest.

Donations will be accepted every Saturday and Sunday, from 9am to 10am, weekly through July 2010. You may also make other arrangements to drop off your donations at a more convenient time. A Pawsitive Experience is open 7 days/week from 6am to 9pm - located at 6440 Schultz Road, Lake View, NY 14085. 716.627.9234. (www.Pawsitive.biz for directions).

Your donation can also be dropped off at the SPCA, 2100 Lockport Rd. in Wheatfield.
