Who has pets?
By: patrick jane Date: August 10, 2018, 7:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
First, I love ALL animals and critters. God's creatures caught
in a world of people, trying to scrape by. LOL, that's not what
the thread is about but hey. Tell us all about your pets, past
pets and all things pets.
I have one cat, my second. I had my first cat Ziggy for 12 years
and he passed. He was a black, gray and white tabby and most
beautiful for a boy. He was the most loving and touching, as in
physical touch that I have ever known.
So it took a year and my ex girlfriend and still good friend,
Melissa, called and said she had a very pretty kitten. Calico.
When I got there 20 minutes later she was up in a tree !!!
Anyway, my mom has a cat and two old dogs that I absolutely love
more than life. Small dogs but I like all sizes. Nobody can ever
convince me that cats are smarter than dogs. No way. Dogs are
the smartest 4 legged animals around, imo.

I have always had dogs/cats. Right now I have Sally a 8 y.o.
female Dalmatian and Summer a 2 y.o. female Basenji: both are
rescues. I am going through a divorce, so my ex will keep
Summer. I will be relocating to Texas later this year after I
retire and plan to get a cat as a companion for Sally in our new
place. I can’t imagine a life without a pet.

Hello Lora, I think you're my Facebook friend. Welcome and thank
you for you story. I sometimes think this is the last pet
because I can't go through losing another. But as you said and I
just thought yesterday, I can't imagine NOT having a pet. I will
always have one; they are part of who I am.
I love you posts on FB drawing attention to needy cats and dogs
and especially your inspirational short videos. Fell free to
start your own thread (topic) about rescue animals or anything
at all about pets and animals. You can post videos and memes
etc. I'll show you how or another member will.
I hope you keep coming back and visit a few minutes here and
there. Read some posts and explore a little when you have time.

Advantages of adopting shelter dogs
HTML https://www.sheknows.com/pets-and-animals/articles/815859/advantages-of-adopting-shelter-dogs-1
Thinking about getting a dog for your family? If you are like
many, you may be considering buying a dog from a pet store or
breeder. However, before you make a decision, consider the
benefits of adopting a shelter dog. Though pet store or
breeders' canines may seem the more advantageous choice, rescue
dogs can be equally rewarding and perhaps an even better
addition to your family. Here is why you should adopt a shelter
dog.
HTML http://cdn.skim.gs/image/upload/v1456339050/msi/sad-scared-dog-at-dog-pound_wdn2fj.jpg
How do dogs end up in shelters?
Each year millions of innocent dogs and cats are tortured,
neglected, abandoned, and abused.
These "castoffs" or strays struggle to survive under stressful
and, often, horrific circumstances – alone at the mercy of the
elements, without food or water, without the care or aid of
human beings, without love and compassion, and without hope of
companionship, friendship, help, or support from people.
Ultimately, these animals end up in municipal animal shelters or
welfare organizations, and if they are too weak or ill, or in
any way display aggressive behavior (keep in mind that they are
terrified and traumatized in their new environment), they will
be euthanized.
Some of the animals in animal shelters or rescue organizations
have been born and raised in puppy mills and never experienced
life outside a crate. Others are the inadvertent victims of
greedy and irreputable backyard breeders.
Others have been someone's family members and have been
surrendered to an animal welfare organization or shelter because
of various reasons (i.e., divorce, separation, relocation,
financial loss and so on) that we may never comprehend.
Pet stores, breeders, and puppy mills
There are many reasons to adopt a rescue dog rather than
purchasing one from a breeder or pet store. Many people assume
that if they buy a dog from either of these sources, it will be
healthier and sounder.
This is a misconception, as many dogs sold to pet stores come
from puppy mills where, until they are sold, are kept in
deplorable conditions, confined in crates that are small and
cramped and piled upon each other, fed inadequate diets, given
dirty or contaminated water, and provided with little, if any
veterinary care.
Having adopted many rescued puppy mill dogs myself, I have
experienced the many serious health and behavioral issues these
poor dogs encounter.
Shelter dogs deserve a second chance
Many people assume that if they adopt a dog from a shelter,
there must be something wrong with it. This is not true at all.
Many of the dogs that end up in shelters are there simply
because their human owners have been ignorant, cruel, lazy,
irresponsible, and neglectful.
These owners regard their dogs as chattel rather than as
sentient, loyal, and loving friends and family members.
Neglectful or abusive owners do not provide their dogs with
attention, interaction, socialization, or obedience training,
and have not treated their pets with the respect, appreciation,
and love they deserve.
In many cases, the dogs surrendered to shelters have been the
loving and loyal members of a family and now find themselves not
only in an unfamiliar environment but also restrained in a
"cell" or kennel with many other frightened, barking, growling,
anxious, yipping, and howling dogs. Imagine the stress and
terror they must feel!
Advantages of adopting a shelter dog
1. You'll save a life
One of the most significant benefits of adopting a shelter dog
is that you are saving the life of a sentient creature that is
in desperate need of a loving home. Innocent and vulnerable, she
depends upon human beings for her care and well-being and will
learn to trust and love her "guardians."
2. Sense of fulfillment
It is very fulfilling to save a life and watch it blossom and
flourish with love, care, appreciation, and respect.
3. Improved quality of life
Rescue dogs have the ability to lift your spirits as well as
improve the quality -- and increase the longevity -- of your
life. The health benefits associated with adopting a companion
animal like a dog are many and even scientifically
substantiated. Your furry friend will benefit both your physical
and emotional health.
4. Unconditional love
A rescued dog knows he has been "saved" and is grateful, loyal,
and unconditionally loving. He is eager and content to become a
beloved member of your family.
Adopting a rescue dog may require more time, attention, effort,
and patience from an adopter than a dog that has not been abused
or neglected. However, the joy and gratification to be derived
from saving a dog in need are boundless.

THE CATCH-PHRASE FOR RANDY GRIM IS “UNLIKELY HERO.”
HTML https://www.strayrescue.org/images/randy-with-friendly-dog.png
HTML https://www.strayrescue.org/
For decades, Grim has been trying to call national attention to
the scourge of abandoned, abused and feral street dogs. Now he
is succeeding—in the national media, in legislatures, where
others with more clout have failed — or never tried at all. Why
so “unlikely” a hero?
It takes an extra dose of real courage -- Mark Twain’s kind, the
kind needed to act when you really are afraid -- to mount daily
rescue operations on some of this country’s most dangerous
streets.
It takes an extra dose of courage for Grim even to publicize
these dogs’ world of misery. He is crippled by panic attacks and
phobias (of public places, parties, elevators, driving). After
rescuing his first street dog, he couldn’t look away. “How can
I?” he asks. “
Each one says, ‘don’t leave me here.’” And so the man who must
pop Xanax to walk through an airport refuses to leave a
starving, terror-stricken German Shepherd on a dark, icy and
stormy St. Louis street, even when a threatening tenement
resident has him on the business end of a gun.
Likening his position to captain of a punctured life-raft, Grim
rescues beaten, feral and abandoned city dogs from St. Louis’s
meanest streets. These are the untouchables, the dogs other
shelters, many with multi-million-dollar budgets, call
“irredeemable.”
To date, Grim has rescued many thousands of street dogs, many
suffering from gunshot wounds or amputations, others simply
scared. Almost by force of his crippling anxiety and phobias,
(possessed of what one reporter called a “sly and off-beat sense
of humor,”
Grim is, oddly, one of the funniest people on the planet) Randy
is a very special man who against all odds is gaining national
attention for an underground epidemic, a national disgrace. By
redeeming the dogs, he’s redeemed himself. Something in what
Grim is doing is catching on, and mattering.
Randy Grim officially founded Stray Rescue as a non-profit
organization in 1998, but that’s not where the story begins. If
you ask Randy’s family, they will tell you that he started
rescuing animals when he was a five year-old!
Wanting to get closer to his dream of working with animals, in
1990 Randy owned and operated “Bark Avenue,” a dog grooming shop
in Lafayette Square, where he would see stray dogs roaming the
streets – scared, hungry and in desperate need of help. It
quickly became clear to him that there were simply no resources
available to help get them off the streets to safety, and he
just couldn’t stand to see them suffering.
Taking matters into his own hands, Randy opened his door,
rescued as many dogs as he could and started taking them into
his home – nursing them back to health and giving them to any
friend or family member who would agree to take them. Randy’s
philosophy has always been, “if I don’t help these animals, who
will?”
About eight years later, Randy spent his life-savings to invest
in a building on 18th Street that was built-out as a shelter,
and Stray Rescue of St. Louis was officially born! The 18th
Street shelter is still in operation today – housing 9 dogs.
Through Randy’s sheer will, dedication and love of the street
dogs, Stray Rescue has grown and evolved into the organization
it is today. The state-of-the-art Pine St. shelter opened in
2010, usually operating at full capacity.
Stray Rescue also has 60 staff members (including an on-site
trauma center), a legion of 300 foster parents and more than
1,000 volunteers from around the community. On average, Stray
Rescue saves and adopts out 3,000 companion animals a year.
