Annual Christmas Open House December 14, 2013

Another year has passed and it is once again time to get ready for our Annual Christmas Open House on December 14,2013

Saturday from noon till 4:00pm. Everyone is invited. Last Year our day was a hugh success thanks to all the kind people who donated their time and talent for our cause. Again this year we are looking for all the crafty and creative people to help us with crafts and baked goods for our sale to raise money for the homeless animals at our shelter. Crafts like ornaments, table decorations, crochet & knitted items, gift bags and baskets are always welcome. Used items are accepted as long as they are clean, not broken and are pleasant to the eye for a new home.

Maybe crafts aren’t your thing but you can bake. Bake goods are always needed such as cookies, candies, pies, rolls, breads, brownies and more are always a great crowd pleaser. Perishable food items may be brought to the shelter a day or two before the sale or on the day of the sale (Saturday). Please label all items that may contain “nuts” because of people with allergies.

Santa Claus will be here at noon to greet all the children, both young and old, who may have a special wish for Christmas. “Free” photo with Santa, children only no pets please, are available while the supply lasts. Refreshments will be available.

Our annual Christmas raffle also takes place that day at 4:00 pm. and you need not be present to win. Great Prizes. Raffle tickets are available now at our shelter and clinic offices. If you would like to sell

some tickets to your friends, neighbors, co-workers etc. please stop by the shelter to pick up some tickets.

Remember volunteers 18 and older are also needed on that day to help sell items, set up and price items and meet and greet people. If you are able to give us some time please call the shelter and leave your name and phone number and the time you may be able to work. Call (586) 731-9210.

Remember that all God’s creatures are important to us. This could be your special way to help all those who cannot speak for themselves. They depend on US! Can you help?

Thank you so much for letting us adopt “Koda”.

He was such a great surprise for our 10 year old

daughter Isabella. She

loves him so much

and thanks us every

day for him.Koda is very well

behaved; he is so

mellow and is such

a blessing. What a

welcome new member

to our family.The Johnson Family

We feel that we were fortunate to f ind a dog so playful and lovable as “Buffy”. She loves to go for walks. We got her vaccines, spayed, teeth cleaned and nail trim. Her groomer is next. The bad is sometimes she does not want to eat, but we are working on that. Thanks again!

The Kaiser Family

“Caramel Kitty” just wanted to let you know she is very happy in her new home. Her mom & dad spoil her with attention and affection, and she is more than happy to reciprocate. In spite of the soft cozy bed and the cat condo in the window, her favorite place is her “scratch lounge” (card board box).

S h e wo u l d l i ke t o thank all the nice people at the Humane Society of Macomb for taking such good care of her and helping her f ind her “fur-ever home.”

P.S. Please give Caramel’s furry friends extra XXOO from her.

The Scherer Family

“Dixie” is adjusting well to her new home! She loves to play with all of her new family. Tug of war is her favorite game with her large chocolate cookie! She is a very protective dog, barking when someone comes close to the house. Dixie obeys all commands and is well trained.

She is a happy dog and is loving all the attention she gets! Thanks.The Bargy Family

“Frisky & Pepper”, “Tigger”, “Charley”One big happy family!

Thanks for all you do at the shelter.Marion Quint

Our beautiful Gypsy Targos Mayotte. Born 11-1971 Passed 5-1991. She is truly missed.

J. Mayotte

“Sierra” was adopted in June 02 and we love her very much. She is a great family member and we thank you for taking care of her until we came along to adopt her. Thanks for all the wonderful things you do.

The Szlag Family

This was “Tart”

but now is named

“Myia”. She was

adopted in 2012 and

we love her very

much. Thank you.The Schubring Family

When we got home on the first day we all spent two hours outside watching Levi getting the run of his new yard. The bone he came home with never left his mouth. Sadie and Levi get along just fine. They didn’t and don’t fight over food.

He has his own bed, but sleeps at the foot of my bed, which is ok. He is just a wonderful dog. I’m just glad we were able to bring him home. My Vet will come soon to check him out and start him on Heartworm Plus. I have to train him not to get into the trash, other than that he is just fine.

Thank you again and keep up the good work.D. Lambert and W. Aitken

Tic-SpottingIf Your dog has been romping around outdoors, there’s

a chance he may have picked up a tick. Those pesky little parasites can be tough to spot, especially on a big dog with a dark coat, but a careful examination after outdoor activities could save your pet (or you) from contracting tick-borne disease. I recommend doing a daily tick check, which can also alert you to injuries, skin lumps, and hidden burrs and debris you might otherwise miss. Here’s how to do it:

1. Take off your dog’s collar (in a secure location). Get comfortable.

2. Starting at his head, move your hands across his face, working your fingertips around and in his ears and eyelids, around the mouth, and all down the neck. Examine with your eyes, too, but hands often will feel what eyes miss.

3. Feel each part of your dog’s chest, up and down his front legs, between pay pads, across the entire back and belly, and down the rear legs and feet.

4. Examine your dog’s rear area, and feel all the way up and down his tail. Cover every square inch of skin.

5. If you find any ticks, pluck them off with tweezers, tick forceps, or anther tool or product. Seal it in plastic and dispose. –E.A.

Winterize Your Pet!1. With the onset of winter precautions

should be taken to protect your Pets!2. Do not let your indoor pet(s) outside

for long periods of time. Shorthaired breeds like Doberman’s, Chihuahuas, Terriers etc., may need coats or sweaters. Every pet is at risk of frostbite. Most common areas are ear tips, feet & and tips of tails.

3. Outdoor pet(s) should be brought inside the house or have access to a heated garage when the weather gets severely cold. If that's not possible make sure the doghouse is well built, insulated, slanted roof with an elevated floor. Dry straw is excellent bedding material. Doors should be covered with a flap to prevent drafts from the wind. The door should not face the North. Southeast is the best. The size of the doghouse is very important. A house that is too large for your dog will not keep him warm.

He needs a house that he can stand up in, turn around and lay down. His body heat will help keep him warm along with the bedding etc.

4. Outside dogs need more calories in the winter so they can build up fat, which acts as insulation. He needs 2-3 times more calories. Check the dog food bag to increase his food or contact your local vet for more information.

5. Fresh water must be provided several times a day. Pet stores do sell heated dog bowls.

6. Check your pets feet for slush or salt that may stay in their pads and cause irritation.

7. Cats should be kept indoors or in a heated garage that has built in hutches or in a well kept used barn. Cats will seek heat and sometimes sleep in the motor of your car. Be aware of paw prints on your car hood. It's possible that there's a cat getting warm

by your engine. Tap on the hood or honk your horn to scare the cat away.

8. By using common sense in the cold months our pets will be safe. Remember that the Michigan Law requires proper shelter for your pet(s) 24 hour per day for the weather, which includes sun, heat, rain, snow, wind etc.

9. Our shelter (during the winter months) gives away a FREE bag of straw for the outside dog. Straw will be available at our shelter after November 1st.

In 2012, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) in Urbana, Illinois, handled more than 180,000 cases about pets exposed to possibly poisonous substances. For more information please visit APCC’s website at www.aspca.org1. Prescription Human Medications The APCC handled 25,000 cases regarding human prescription

medications in 2012. The top three types of medications that animals were exposed to include: heart medications (blood pressure pills), antidepressants and pain medications (opioids and prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Many of these exposures were due to people dropping their medication when preparing to take it, and before they knew it, Fido had gobbled the pill off the floor.

2. Insecticides Insecticides are used in the yard, home and on our animals. While

only 11% of all calls to the APCC are about insecticides, over 50% of the calls to the APCC involving cats pertain to felines exposed to insecticides. Always read the label before using any insecticide on your pet, in your home or in your yard.

3. Over-the-Counter Human Medications More than 18,000 cases that the APCC fielded in 2012 regarded

over-the-counter human products. This group contains acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen as well as herbal and nutraceutical products (fish oil, joint supplements). Many of these products are tasty to pets, and some can be life threatening if ingested.

4. Veterinary Products and Medications Veterinary products made up nearly 6% of the APCC’s case volume

for 2012. Both OTC and prescription veterinary products are included in this group. Flavored tablets make it easy to give your pet pain or joint medication, but it also makes it more likely for them to ingest the entire bottle if given the chance.

While visions of sugarplums dance in our heads....our holiday traditions of candy and good cheer may not be so cheerful to our pets.Food, drink and plants that make our lives special sometimes can be harmful, even deadly, for our four-legged friends.

5. Household Products There were more than 10,000 calls to the APCC about household

products in 2012. Household toxins can range from fire logs to cleaning products. Some items can be corrosive, while other can cause obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract requiring surgical intervention.

6. People Food More than 5% of our cases in 2012 were related to the ingestion of

people food. One particularly common food accidentally ingested by pets is xylitol (the sugar substitute). Xylitol can cause seizures and liver failure in dogs. Visit www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets

7. Chocolate Chocolate is still the number one people food that pets ingest (we

received over 8,500 calls last year). Too much chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, high heart rate and seizures.

8. Plants More than 7,000 cases in 2012 were pet parents calling about their

animals eating plants. This is one category that cats lead dogs in the number of exposures. Lilies can cause kidney failure and death in cats. Please see our list of toxic/non-toxic plants for more information at www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants

9. Rodenticides When putting out baits to kill mice and rats, never underestimate the

resourcefulness of your pet. Nearly 4% of calls to the APCC in 2012 were related to baits. Depending on the type of rodenticide, ingestion can cause internal bleeding, kidney failure or seizures.

10. Lawn and Garden Products Fertilizers, which can be made of dried blood, poultry manure and bone

meal, are very attractive to pets, so it is not surprising that we get many calls (almost 3,600 in 2012) on lawn and garden items.

If you have any reason to suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435.

Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask...

To a poor and lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.

So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more that I can stand.”

Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.

This is the only thing I can give.

The love I left behind.Author Unknown
