  • Travelling with Your Bichon Frise
    The Insider’s Guide To The Bichon Frise Travelling With Your Bichon Frise On the road with your Bichon Frise: As a Bichon Frise owner, you should take special care to see that even if your Bichon Frise is excited to be in the great outdoors, yet it should not lean out of the window or be injured by being flung around the car.. To prevent such an occurrence, you could do the following: Before setting out, give your Bichon Frise a small snack, roughly 1/3 of his normal diet. When you reach your destination, you can give him the rest Use a seat belt or a harness made specially for dogs so that they remain firmly in one place Of course, there are those pet carriers that double up as safety harnesses which you could safely use. But these days, you could also opt for safety sitters that join up with the shoulder seat belt of your car so that it keeps your Bichon Frise from being thrown, in case the car lurches forward rudely. This, as you perhaps know, can easily connect with any front or rear seatbelt. It comes with a handy buckle that can be fixed to your Bichon Frise’s leash. © 2005 -2011. www.your-bichon-frise.com The Insider’s Guide To The Bichon Frise If not this, perhaps your Bichon Frise would be more comfortable with a back seat mesh that could also be useful as a car barrier which will prevent your excited Bichon Frise from leaping into the front seat.

  • Coat Color and Cat Outcomes in an Urban U.S. Shelter
    animals Article Coat Color and Cat Outcomes in an Urban U.S. Shelter Robert M. Carini 1,*, Jennifer Sinski 2 and Jonetta D. Weber 1 1 Department of Sociology, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY 40292, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Sociology, Bellarmine University, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 21 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Simple Summary: There is continuing debate as to whether individuals prefer companion cats of varying coat colors, and if so, how color preferences may affect whether cats in shelters are euthanized, adopted, or transferred to another organization. This study analyzed outcomes for nearly 8000 cats admitted to an urban public shelter in Kentucky, USA from 2010 through 2011. While coat color overall was not an important predictor of cat outcomes, a tiered pattern among particular colors was detected. Specifically, black and white cats experienced the highest and lowest chances of euthanasia, respectively, while brown and gray cats experienced more middling chances. Orange cats’ relative chances of euthanasia were more difficult to gauge, but orange and white cats had similar euthanasia and adoption outcomes in the most nuanced model. In addition, there has been persistent speculation that the public’s interest in—and preference for—black cats might spike before Halloween due to cats’ associations with the holiday. However, the present study found that a subsample of more than 1200 entirely black cats did not experience improved chances of adoption or transfer to a rescue organization in October compared to other months.

If you work or volunteer at an animal shelter, you’re probably a Mutt-i-grees® expert! North Shore Animal League America coined the word Mutt-i-gree® to change public perception of shelter pets and convey their desirability and availability. The concept evolved to become the Mutt-i-grees® Movement, a sustained campaign to bring an end to euthanasia by increasing both adoptions and spay/neuter programs. The movement also features a unique and crucial humane education element that encourages children - tomorrow’s pet owners - to become compassionate and responsible adopters. Like other social movements, the Mutt-i-grees® Movement represents the coming together of people from various fields who share common goals: individuals who have adopted pets; individuals who work or volunteer at public and private shelters and rescue groups; and educators, parents and concerned individuals who seek a more compassionate and humane world and want to improve the quality of life for people and the animals they love.
