Best Friends...by Samantha Glen. This book is about the founding and struggles and success of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Angel Canyon, Kanab, Utah. A must read for all animal lovers, and a great inspiration for anyone wishing to save these furrry angels.
Second Noah is in need of a decent used van. Although we are not taking in any new animals, we have become part of a transport network. We help transport animals from other owners, shelters and animal control facilities, to new rescues, or new forever homes. One lucky animal, Gabriel the blind chow, found love in Minnesota! To do this, many volunteers help transport these dogs and cats all over the country. We have been asked to transport as many as 7 dogs! Unfortunately my suv cannot hold many crates. A van would be so great to continue this all important work. If anyone has a used van to donate, you would be able to write off the value.
As the weather continues to get colder, please do not forget your furkids outside. Clean fresh water at all times, as well as clean dry bedding. Water freezes quickly outdoors, so keep it thawed by adding warm water throughout the day or consider investing in an electric bowl, or bucket. Better still, bring your pet indoors to keep them and you toasty warm! And, watch the salt you use on walks and driveways. salt and most chemical de-icers can burn their pads and most are toxic if ingested. Look for kid and pet safe products. Also, please leave your pet home when running errands. Your car may be warm when you stop at the store, but loses heat very quickly. It quickly become like an icebox inside without a constant source of heat. Even your pet's fur coat can keep him warm for only a short time.
Our efforts are supported entirely by adoption fees, fund raisers, annual memberships and donations. We gratefully accept donations of any size, as well as supplies for the animals, such as food,crates, carriers, toys, blankets etc. If you can donate any of these items, new or used, please contact us. We will arrange for pickup if necessary.
Second Noah has an adoption application to tell us something about your home and accomodations for your new pet, including your primary vet. We also have an adoption contract outlining your legal responsibilities towards your new pet. We require at least one home visit prior to placement to insure the adoption is a good match. Because of this we cannot place animals outside of Michigan.
Adoption PolicyAll Second Noah animals are for adoption primarily as household companions. None of our dogs are intended to be chained or tied outside or kenneled outside. If you do not have a fenced yard, please consider carefully the exercise and "nature call" needs before adopting.
We do not guarantee the hunting abilities of any of our dogs of hunting or part hunting breeds. If you are specifically looking for a hunting dog, we recommend you seek a reputable breeder of hunting breeds of your choice.
Our cats are intended to be indoor companions. It is well known that outdoor cats have a shorter lifespan due to the hazards of dogs, traffic and disease. An indoor cat is a healthy, happy cat and makes an excellent companion.
We discourage the declawing of cats. Declawing involves the amputation of the first joints of the paws. This is a mutilation of the foot. Training and other alternatives are a better option. Ask your veterinarian.
We do not adopt to students unless you are a permanent local resident. Every summer our shelters and pounds are filled because students have gotten pets, only to abandon them at the end of term when they return home.
Our Adoption Fees$95 for dogs, any age. Unless otherwise noted. All dogs over 6 months are altered. All dogs are up to date on shots and heartworm tested.
$65 for cats of any age. All cats over 6 months are altered. $25 All cats are Leukemia tested and also up to date on all shots.
