4th of July Pet Safty Tips
July 5th is known as the busiest day at animal shelters. Here are some tips to help keep your fuzzy family members safe on the 4th of July:
Loud, crowded fireworks displays are no fun for pets please keep them at home.
Keep animals inside. Secure all GATES, DOORS, and LOCKS.
Make sure your pets IDs are on and microchip info is current.
Leave a TV or radio on loud in efforts to drown out the noises that may be going on outside.
Be sure to close all doggy doors.
Do not leave alcoholic drinks where pets can reach them. It could be fatal.
If your pet gets scared easily consider staying home.
A Big Thank You goes out to The Leader of The Pack Grooming in Lindon, Utah.

crate trained, but needs
lots of training as he is
big and strong , can be

sweet. He is groomed,
neutered, vaccinated and
microchipped. He is so

all you ask him to do,
fetches and brings it to

Thank
you all for your
enthusiasm and interest in
Shaggy. I thought at first
he was a Sheepdog, then the
Sheepdog rescue in AZ told
me if he had a tail, he must
be a Bearded Collie.
Now he is relieved of all
those thick mattting he had
all over his body, with
foxtails getting into sores.
But he will be fine and be
neutered, vaccinated,
microchipped and health
needs taken care of next
week. WE don’t know
total costs to be reimbursed
yet. Now that he is
shaved with white on chest
and under chin, we think he
must be a Sheepdog/Bearded
Collie mix or
LabraDoodle since he doesn't
shed. Please fill out
questionaire below.
Shaggy is doing great! He is
a wonderful boy. We can't
imagine life without him. He
sleeps through the night on
his bed with us and knows
where to potty. Thank you
for helping us find the
perfect companion! Here's a
few more pics of Shaggy."
Unfortunately Shaggy lost
his family and needs an
experienced very loving
home.
Thank you Candy owner of
K9
DESIGN
for helping relieve Shaggy
and bath him of
awful smell he must have
suffered with for over 6 mos
we estimate. He loves
to fetch, was so good at
groomers. What a great
groomer and filled with
REscuers. Support such
generous and compassionate
small businesses: call Candy
at 801-446-7996 or come by

We saw pet owners with
special needs dogs like
epileptic, bad arthritis and
others come in for special
care by this great
place. Candy is so kind and
gentle that the dogs are
very relaxed. We hope
Candy will want to work
together on kids program
which is a dream of hers as
well.
Now
he looks like a
ShaggyDoodle.

went accross his back. when

Organization allows troubled youth to train, trust dogs
Denise De Vynck suffered back injures after a head-on collision years ago. Her spirits were low, she needed a friend and she didn’t know where to turn.
In 1993 she found that friend in an unexpected form — a dog named Charlie.
The friendship that De Vynck found with Charlie served as inspiration for Save a Dog and Kids, the non-profit organization she formed in 1999 that has rescued over 1,200 dogs since.
“I had a parent come to me one day and say her kids did not like the after-school programs and wondered if they could correlate something with the dogs,” said De Vynck. “That’s when it occurred to me that I could have children help the dogs and in turn the kids would be helped.”
De Vynck has worked with children from every kind of background, but said she especially enjoys working with troubled youth. Once she gained her passion for animals, De Vynck said she realized dogs could further help the youth that she works with, and decided to pair the two together.
Save a Dog and Kids allows troubled youth to train and trust dogs.
De Vynck met with one of the nation’s leading experts on abuse, Dr. Frank Ascione, who said children who are abused or see abuse are predisposed to it. After talking with the doctor, De Vynck said Ascone’s research showed that animal therapy is one of the best ways to rid of abusive traits.
“Kids who have been through difficult situations have to feel needed,” said De Vynck. “All types of children can benefit from learning how to train and trust dogs. Those children who are troubled, have been abused or have depression learn to trust again. ”
Save a Dog and Kids does not just work with children, but anyone in need of a new friend. De Vynck explained that Charlie, her first rescued dog, helped her regain her health, and after gaining this happiness she realized she wanted to share it with others.
“Animals are such a gift, such angels,” said De Vynck.
Programs all over the United States have paired up with Save a Dog and Kids to transport the animals to their new homes. Flying Paws is a non-profit organization that flies animals to homes all over the country. Their rescue railroads consist of people volunteering their time and gas to transport animals from one state to the next.
“Bailey, one of the dogs, was transported across 15 states, with 15 different drivers to get to her new home in Chicago,” said De Vynck. “It is really cool to see people come together and help.”
De Vynck has found homes for over 1,200 animals all over the U.S., and those who work with the animals love seeing their progress. Kristen Queen is a new volunteer at the rescue and a student at BYU.
“It feels so good to see the progression of our work,” said Queen. “The process shows Denise’s love for the animals and it just feels good to know we are making a difference. ”

It’s a shocking number.
As the wolf-haters continue
their killing spree, only 20
breeding pairs of wolves
were found in Idaho’s
wilderness.
That’s nearly a 60 percent
decrease over the last five
years.
These numbers are truly alarming.
Breeding pairs, along with
their pups – many as young
as 10 weeks old
– are being wiped out at a
frightening rate.
By killing the parents, the
wolf-haters are killing
future wolf generations
before they are even born!
That means with the match, we can raise $401,000 for Idaho’s
wolves!
Why $401,000? As you may know, wolf-haters recently pushed a bill
through the Idaho state
legislature,
setting aside $400,000 for
the sole purpose of killing
wolves.
Thanks to you and wolf-advocates across America, we’re on track to
build a wolf protection fund
even larger than the
$400,000 wolf extermination
fund recently created by the
Idaho legislature.
As a donor to our unprecedented wolf defense effort, you will be
supporting our all-out
campaign to stop the
out-of-control wolf killings
in Idaho.
Our wolves are a national treasure. Their comeback in the Lower 48
is one of the greatest
conservation successes of
our lifetime. We’ve come too
far to see it all lost to
the anti-wolf hatred of
Idaho’s current political
leaders.
For nearly 70 years, Defenders has served as the voice of animals
that cannot speak for
themselves. And we’re your
voice too.

A drought in Pakistan has
left animals with no source
of food.
Thousands of animals have
died - and many thousands
more are suffering from
hunger and thirst.
Starvation is one of the
cruelest fates an animal can
suffer. First they
desperately seek food and
then they become weaker and
weaker. You can see the
confusion in their eyes as
their pain increases, day by
day. Adding to their
suffering, they start to
lose their ability to fight
off infections and disease.
Starvation is slow, painful
and without mercy.
IFAW's Disaster Response and
Wildlife Rescue divisions
are working with our partner
in Pakistan, the Ravi
Foundation, to feed and care
for cows, goats, sheep,
buffalo and peacocks
suffering from the drought.
By having a well-organized
and respected local partner
in Pakistan, we can quickly
help animals in need.
With help from generous
supporters like you, IFAW is
going to supply wheat straw,
wheat bran and other feed
for hundreds of animals. For
these animals, this will
mean the difference between
life and a painful death
from starvation.
I have sent an emergency
grant of $30,000, which will
provide desperate animals
with feed for three weeks.

"You need to know the truth.
I’ve never seen a killing frenzy as relentless as the wolf slaughter that’s been taking place in Idaho. The latest outrage, the creation of a state-supported wolf extermination fund, truly means no wolf in Idaho is safe.
I am deeply disturbed by the growing number of anti-wolf policies – and by the 466 Idaho wolves killed during this past year alone. And I fear for the many hundreds that will soon follow.
But with your help, we will weather this storm of hatred, ignorance and bloodshed.
Our wolves are a national treasure. Their comeback in the Lower 48 is one of the greatest conservation successes of our lifetime. We’ve come too far to see it all lost due to the anti-wolf hatred of Idaho’s current political leaders.
For nearly seventy years, Defenders has served as the voice of those animals who cannot speak for themselves. And we’re your voice too.
And it will send the wolf-haters a message – that we are not giving up. We are not going away. And we’ll keep fighting until wolves have the protection they need to thrive in our world.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your compassion and generosity.

for

As

the

are
due
- if
not
please
just
keep
on
signing
and
sharing
to
show
the
continued
interest
in
this
issue!
The
problem
is
that
right
now
many
puppy
breeding
facilities
that
sell
puppies
are
not
licensed
or
regularly
inspected
for
basic
humane
treatment
of
animals.
These
places
sell
online,
on
the
phone,
or
through
the
mail
without
even
giving
people
a
chance
to
see
the
animal
like
you
would
in a
regular,
inspected
and
licensed
store.
While
I'm
a
rescuer
and
would
always
encourage
you
to
adopt
an
animal,
the
fact
is
that
this
huge
USDA
loophole
is
being
exploited
by
those
who
breed
and
sell
animals
without
being
held
to
basic
animal

"Dear Utah
Animal
Advocates,
On Friday,
February 25,
the Utah
State House
of
Representatives
overwhelmingly
voted in
favor of
House Bill
210, a
disturbing
and inhumane
bill that
would allow
for the
killing of
feral
animals. It
has now
moved on to
the Utah
Senate for
consideration.
If passed,
HB 210 will
allow anyone
in the
unincorporated
(meaning
mostly
rural) areas
within the
State of
Utah to
decide for
themselves
whether an
animal is
feral and
"humanely"
kill said
animal(s).
Nowhere in
the bill is
the term
"humanely"
explicitly
defined.
The ASPCA
opposes this
proposed
legislation
for several
reasons.
First, it
often is
very
difficult to
determine
whether an
animal is
“feral,”
especially
in the case
of cats.
Second, this
measure
would
provide
airtight
legal
protection
to those who
kill animals
for fun, as
long as they
can claim
that they
believed
their
victims were
feral.
Third, Utah
has been
very
proactive in
working on
Trap-Neuter-Return
programs for
feral cats,
allowing
these
animals to
live out
their lives
without
contributing
to the cat
overpopulation
problem.
This bill
would defeat
the efforts
of many
volunteers
who have
worked
tirelessly
to help
these feral
cats.
Thank you,
Utah, for
speaking up
for these
under-protected
animals! "

The South Valley Animal
Shelter in Spanish Fork
received $2,000 for its good
customer service from
Maddie's Fund, a foundation
working with
Petfinder.com to improve
customer service.
Shelter
director Mike Morgan said,
"We're thrilled," adding
that the money is always
welcome.
He plans to use the money
for a more aggressive
vaccination campaign and
veterinarian care for
adoptable pets. Morgan said
people who want a pet but
can't afford the up-front
costs will benefit from
Maddie's Fund largesse as
well. The shelter will be
able to offer lower cost or
free adoptions to these
folks.
"We will try to use the
donation for things that
directly affect the pets,"
he said.
The shelter posts photos
and descriptions of
adoptable pets on
Petfinder.com, an online
database of homeless pets.
Secret shoppers phoned,
e-mailed or visited randomly
selected animal rescue
organizations and chose a
weekly winner based on that
organization's customer
service and response. If the
random shopper visited a
shelter and had a positive
experience, that shelter
immediately won $2,000.
That is how it happened
at the South Valley shelter,
Morgan said. Someone came
in, visited the pet areas,
took a tour of the shelter
and visited with the staff a
while. No one thought
anything was out of the
ordinary as Morgan said
people often do this. But at
the end of the visit, "They
said we'd won $2,000."
Morgan wasn't sure it wasn't
a joke until he received the
letter with the check.
According to the Maddie's
Fund website, a
representative visited the
shelter the week of Sept. 6.
Maddie's Fund developed
its customer service reward
program in response to a
survey of
Petfinder.com website
visitors who were motivated
to adopt a pet rather than
buy one. These motivated
adopters did not always
receive an encouraging
welcome. Nearly half the
time, shelters didn't reply
to potential adopters. After
this survey, Maddie's Fund
staff placed customer
service improvement at the
top of their priority list.
"The folks at Maddie's Fund
pledged $50,000 this year to
make it happen," wrote Betsy
Saul, co-founder of
Petfinder.com.
The shelter, at 582 W.
3000 North, is open 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Monday through
Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday. South Utah Valley

PICS COMING. PIPER is a 2 yr female Shorkie, that
is a Yorkie/Shih Tzu "Designer dog" and she is the
smartest, pp pad trained, fetches, happy and loving
little girl. Doesn't bark much and is a love once

Soldier
is all Yorki, all puppy, loving playful, and working on
his housetraining, but is doing well, putting on weight
as he was way too skinny, and he is so adorable and
teacup too. He is not much of a barker, prefers to
play, rub against the other dogs, you, roll on his back.
Adorable. He is tiny at 5 lbs. and so smart and
adorable. Young little ones like this are hard to
come by. Yeah he was
adopted
"BECAUSE
OF ECONOMY AND LOSS OF JOB THIS
OWNER NEEDS A HOME FOR THESE
TOGETHER. tHESE WERE ADOPTED FROM
RESCUE THAT NO LONGER EXISTS AND
SHELTER IN CA: Here are
the pictures and bios you asked for.
Please let me know what I need to
do. Thanks!
Twinkie - Chiquawa/Terrier mix.
11 years old. Sight is a little
gone, meaning he won't climb
stairs anymore. A little hard
headed, but a big heart. Loves
to have his belly rubbed.
Loves to play bite. Good with older
kids (like over 6). Loves to
walk. Good at dog park but
really doesn't care for his but to
be sniffed. Loves to play with
Pilar. They are great buddies.
I got Twink from the Laguna Beach
Animal Shelter when he was 1-1/2
years old. He loves walks. He
drinks a lot of water. Twink
can't jump on beds or couchs any
more.
Pilar - got her from the Little Dog
Rescue from Orange, CA. I have
contacted them to see if I can have
them find her another home.
Pilar was sponsered by John Wayne's
third wife, Pilar, so they kept the
name. I call her my Hollywood
dog. She is all girl, but can
run with the boys. She is a
happy dog, loves to lay in laps.
Plays well with other dogs, most
sizes. She is a love.
I've had her since she was 1-1/2
years as well. She is about 15
pounds. She loves walks and
car rides. She is about 8
years old now. She loves to get into
bed with you - can still jump up.
I have had both dogs on the Banfield
Insurance since I've had them.
I am so lucky to have had them.
My current situation is I found out
my spouse is gay and has kept that
from he as a secret fantasy
lifestyle. We are separating.
I'm moving to my mom's condo where
they don't accept dogs and my spouse
doesn't care for dogs. So I'm
in a bind. Ideally, I would
love to find a foster family and get
my dogs back when I'm back on my
feet. I have a house I rent
out in the Liberty Wells area, but I
can't afford to live there until I
am back on my feet (laid off from
the home building industry back in
March '09). Or if there is an
awesome family who would love these
great dogs, I would be thrilled.
I have attached pictures.
Any help you can give me would be
greatly appreciated!"

We hope that a large
donation of $500 including all vetting for teacup dogs like we have been given in the past will
help reimburse vetting for all rescue pets to date:

Dogs Like Shaggy. She
has the most wonderful Rates
and is the most loving
groomer. Call her for
$30 small dog, $50 large dog

Thank
you all for your
enthusiasm and interest in
Shaggy. I thought at first
he was a Sheepdog, then the
Sheepdog rescue in AZ told
me if he had a tail, he must
be a Bearded Collie.
Now he is relieved of all
those thick mattting he had
all over his body, with
foxtails getting into sores.
But he will be fine and be
neutered, vaccinated,
microchipped and health
needs taken care of next
week. WE don’t know
total costs to be reimbursed
yet. Now that he is
shaved with white on chest
and under chin, we think he
must be a Sheepdog/Bearded
Collie mix or
LabraDoodle since he doesn't
shed. Please fill out
questionaire below.
Now
he looks like a
ShaggyDoodle.
This 28" piece of matting
went accross his back. when
we rescued him for the
shelter he had been in for 2
weeks. How
horrible in this heat. Thank
you Candy for helping him.

She is friendly with everyone: kids and dogs. She is housetrained, sits, walks great on leash, is quiet, rides great in crate in car, and is so loving and sweet. She fetches and brings it back to you. Great family dog! She has the best new mom in San Jose. Thank you Elizabeth for giving her the best home.

Kit is the calmest, quietest, most loving little Poodle around 10 lbs and trained, housetrained, and just wants to be on your lap. Kit is the smartest trained of the little dogs. YOu can't get a better dog than this, no training needed, so sweet, loving and do whatever you tell her.
