Upcoming Events

Tooele Animal Outreach is hosting bi-weekly adoptions at Rockstar Pets located at 762 N. Main Street in Tooele. Rockstar Pets has been generous to allow TAO to have cats be adopted out of their store daily. This has allowed us to save even more animals from local shelters. Come stop by on Saturday, November 29th from noon until 5:00 p.m. to check out the wonderful animals we have available. Consider adding another family member this holiday season to your household.

Winter Tips for Pets When the weather outside turns cold and snowy, Arvada Animal Management reminds you to think about your pet's safety and recommends the following guidelines to protect your companion animal: Keep your cats inside. Outdoor cats can freeze, become lost or stolen, injured or killed. During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes choose to sleep under the hoods of cars where it is warmer. Before starting your car you should bang loudly on the hood and wait a few seconds to give the cat a chance to escape. Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm. Dogs frequently lose their scent in snow and ice and can easily become lost. More dogs are lost in the winter than any other season, so make sure they always wear I.D. tags. Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when they come in out of the sleet, snow or ice. Salt, antifreeze or other chemicals could hurt your dog if ingested while licking their paws. If you have a shorthaired breed, consider getting a warm coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck for your dog. Look for one that covers the dog from the base of the tail on top to the belly underneath. While this may seem like a luxury, it is a necessity for many. Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during the cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold. Your companion animal could freeze to death. Cold weather sensitivities: if your dog is sensitive to the cold due to age, illness or breed type, take them outdoors only long enough to relieve themselves. House breaking puppies during the winter: puppies do not tolerate the cold as well as adult dogs and may be difficult to housebreak during the winter. Winter feeding: if your dog spends a lot of time engaged in outdoor activities, increase their supply of food, particularly protein, to keep their fur thick and healthy. Pet bedding: make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep and is far away from drafts and off the floor. You should consider a dog or cat bed or basket with a warm blanket or pillow in it. Antifreeze, even in very tiny doses is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Unfortunately, because of its sweet taste, animals are attracted to it. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle. To prevent accidental poisoning; more and more people are using animal friendly products that contain propylene glycol rather than traditional products containing ethylene glycol. Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (1-888-4ANI-HELP) if you suspect your animal has been poisoned. Related Keywords"

Anytime is the perfect time to consider opening your home and your heart to a new best friend, but why not consider it, just because it's Summertime, and because you're feeling the need to do something WONDERFUL for someone who needs it so badly?! Give a homeless dog or cat (or maybe even two!) a new "leash" on life. Shelter animals have proven time and time again to be the very best pets. They're intelligent little furry people who KNOW when they've been rescued, and they'll reward you with unconditional love beyond your wildest imaginations. Sure... some of them need some extra love, training and TLC. Fortunately, though, that's usually ALL they need (besides food and shelter, of course) to be the best friend you've ever had.

Even if you're not ready for the commitment required to adopt a new pet, please support the homeless pets in your area in other ways. Donate to your favorite animal charity, or volunteer at your local animal shelter. A little bit goes a long way, so please find it in your heart to donate the whole year through. You can find your local shelter by visiting www.hsus.org.
