Trey

I was standing on our deck and I watched 3 pups travel into the woods.. There is 10 acres of common ground behind our home. I tried to grab them, but they ran away except the third one, that is why I named him TREY! No collars and no tags. Who does this to an animal? Trey was "FULL" of ticks and was wagging his tail and was so sweet! I wanted to keep him. But weeks ago we had to put our German Shepard Harley down, he was very sick his spleen had a large tumor and we didn't even know until it was too late. Harley was 11. We have his sister Hannah still, they were liter mates, and Hannah has many things wrong with her. She has hip-dysphasia, Lupus, an immunity disorder, and arthritis, and she does not get around very well. We have another girl we adopted 5 years ago. She was a shelter dog, who was abused and she is very active and it makes our girl nervous. BUT~ After LONG consideration, we havedecided to ADOPT TREY! YEP~ HE is coming home with us after he gets all his shots and neutered! e believe STRONGLY that NO MORE DOGS should be BREED! There are so many Dogs and Cats living in shelers because of ignorant pet owner trying to make a buck! I believe that he LAWS must change! Until et owners are trained and educated, the should NOT be able to even OWN a PET! I believe that anyone owning a pet should be held respondsible very every pet they own. PLEASE HELP to STOP the BREEDING of DOGS and CATS Shelters are over flowing with Puppies and kittens and mature Dogs and Cats needing and wanting a chance at life! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do "spay" and "neuter" really mean? Female dogs and cats are spayed by removing their reproductive organs, and male dogs and cats are neutered by removing their testicles. In both cases the operation is performed while the pet is under anesthesia. Depending on your pet's age, size, and health, he or she will stay at your veterinarian's office for a few hours or a few days. Depending upon the procedure, your pet may need stitches removed after a few days. Your veterinarian can fully explain spay and neuter procedures to you and discuss with you the best age at which to sterilize your pet.Spaying or Neutering Is Good for Your PetSpaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat. Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle. Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease. Spaying or Neutering Is Good for YouSpaying and neutering makes pets better, more affectionate companions. Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory. Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Estrus lasts an average of six to 12 days, often twice a year, in dogs and an average of six to seven days, three or more times a year, in cats. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals. Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering can make pets less likely to bite. Neutering makes pets less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights. Spaying and Neutering Are Good for the CommunityCommunities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals. Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks. Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals. Stray pets and homeless animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and frighten or anger people who have no understanding of their misery or needs. Some stray animals also scare away or kill birds and wildlife. Fix That Bunny!When being conscientious about the pet overpopulation, don’t forget to spay or neuter your pet rabbit. Altering rabbits can reduce hormone-driven behavior such as lunging, mounting, spraying, and boxing. Spaying females can prevent ovarian, mammarian, and uterine cancers, which can be prevalent in mature does. Also, rabbits reproduce faster than dogs or cats and are the third-most surrendered animal to shelters.Spay or neuter surgery carries a one-time cost that is relatively small when one considers its benefits. It's a small price to pay for the health of your pet and the prevention of more unwanted animals.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
