The Animal Rescue Club - John Himmelman - Google книги An animal rescue group or animal rescue organization is dedicated to pet adoption. These groups take unwanted, abandoned, abused, or stray pets and attempt to find suitable homes for them. Many rescue groups are created by and run by volunteerswho take animals into their homes and care for them — including training, playing, handling medical issues, and solving behavior problems — until a suitable permanent home can be found. Rescue groups exist for most pet types reptile The Animal Rescue Club, rabbit rescue or bird rescuebut are most common for dogs and cats. For animals with many breeds, rescue groups may specialize in specific breeds or groups of breeds. Animal rescue organizations have also been created to rescue and rehabilitate wild animals, such as lions, tigers, and cheetahs; a job which is normally shared or backed by zoos and other conservation charities. These animals are normally released back into the wild where possible, otherwise they will remain in captivity and may be used in breeding for an endangered species. Widely recognized as an umbrella organization for animal rescue groups, Petfinder. Animal shelters often work closely with rescue groups, because shelters that have difficulty placing otherwise healthy and pet-worthy animals would usually rather have the animal placed in a home than euthanized ; while shelters might run out of room, rescue groups can often find The Animal Rescue Club with space in their homes for temporary placement. Some organizations such as Old The Animal Rescue Club Haven work with older animals whose age would likely cause them to be euthanized in county pounds. Each year, approximately million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters due to overcrowding and a shortage of foster homes. In the United Kingdomboth shelter and rescue organisations are described using the blanket term rescuewhether they have their own premises, buy in accommodation from commercial kennels, or operate a network of foster homeswhere volunteers keep the animals in their homes until adoption. Kennels that have a council contract to take in The Animal Rescue Club dogs are usually referred to as dog pounds. Some dog pounds also carry out rescue and rehoming work and are effectively rescue groups that operate a pound service. Some rescue groups work with pounds to move dogs to rescues. By law, a dog handed in as a stray to a UK pound must be held for seven days before it can be rehomed or euthanized. Many The Animal Rescue Club not-for-profit rescue organizations now not only focus on rehoming rescued animals, but rehabilitating and training them as well. Severely abused animals cannot move quickly from their previous environment into a new home. Specialized and trained rescue staff must identify signs of aggression and anxiety and work to remedy these behaviors. Like people, the recovery process is different for all animals. Some might recover immediately while others might always should signs of trauma. There are two major differences between shelters and rescue groups. Shelters are usually run and funded by local The Animal Rescue Club. While some shelters place animals in foster homes, many are housed on-site in kennels. Some rescue groups have facilities and others do not. Foster homes are heavily utilized in either case. Within the dog rescue community, there are breed-specific and all-breed rescues. Almost every breed is supported by a network of national and international rescue organizations with the goal to save abandoned dogs of this breed. All-breed rescues are not limited to purebred dogs. Instead they save dogs of any breed. Many work with specific shelters to support their efforts. Most rescue groups use similar adoption procedures, including completing an application, checking a veterinary reference, conducting an interview can be in person or by phone and a home visit. Rescue organizations are usually volunteer-run organizations and survive on donations and adoption fees. Most animals in the care of rescue groups live with foster home volunteers as members of the family until an appropriate adopter is found. There are a number of different techniques that can be used to make the transition from life at a rescue's foster home to an adoptive home easier on the animal. Generally, rescue groups provide adopters with basic information to aid in a successful transition. Often, adoption counsellors are involved in the The Animal Rescue Club in order to ensure that the pet is being sent to a good, fitting home. Questionnaires for adoption vary between organizations, but are essentially used to ensure that the animal being adopted suits the lifestyle of the prospect owner and will have all of his or her needs fulfilled. The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies accounts for the largest amount of dog and cat shelters in Canada. With shelters throughout the country, it is estimated thatcats and 46, dogs were taken in during The remaining majority were left The Animal Rescue Club be euthanized, sent back to their The Animal Rescue Club owners, or stayed in the shelters, possibly being transferred from one to another hoping for better outcomes. The rise of social media The Animal Rescue Club since aided in adoption of pets, as shelters and rescue groups can now post pictures and biographies of the animals on their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. These outlets allow for people to, often without intention, find suitable pets in need of homes. Online interviews are now also possible, as well as international adoption through many organizations. Developments such The Animal Rescue Club social media pages help shelters find appropriate adopters by venturing outside of their immediate surroundings and creating online networks, allowing more people to be exposed to the information and possibility of animal adoption. The Animal Rescue Club and cats of the Dominican Republic, for example, is an organization that creates profiles for stray animals in the Dominican Republic, and uses an almost entirely online platform to find homes for them, usually overseas, before sending them by plane, spayed and neutered, to be picked up by their new owner. Wildlife rescue groups, unlike many other animal rescue organizations, focus on the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    Amelioration of Pet Overpopulation and Abandonment Using Control of Breeding and Sale, and Compulsory Owner Liability Insurance

    animals Article Amelioration of Pet Overpopulation and Abandonment Using Control of Breeding and Sale, and Compulsory Owner Liability Insurance Eva Bernete Perdomo 1,* , Jorge E. Araña Padilla 1 and Siegfried Dewitte 2 1 University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain; [email protected] 2 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Overpopulation and abandonment of pets are long-standing and burgeoning concerns that involve uncontrolled breeding and selling, illegal trafficking, overpopulation, and pet- safety and well-being issues. Historical and current prevention measures for avoiding these problems, such as sanctions, taxes, or responsibility education, have failed to provide significant moderation or resolution. Globally, millions of pets are commercially and privately bred and abandoned annually, damaging biodiversity and ecosystems, and presenting road safety and public health risks, in addition to becoming victims of hardship, abuse, and illegal trafficking, especially in the case of exotic species. This article proposes a novel comprehensive management system for amelioration of overpopulation and abandonment of pets by using greater control of supply and demand of the pet market, highlighting the role of the compulsory owner liability insurance to prevent pet abandonment and all its associated costs. This system aims to act preventatively, through flexible protocols within the proposed management system to be applied to any pet and any country.

  • (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013

    (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013

    Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA) Veterinary Report on Puppy Mills May 2013 Puppy mills are large-scale canine commercial breeding establishments (CBEs) where puppies are produced in large numbers and dogs are kept in inhumane conditions for commercial sale. That is, the dog breeding facility keeps so many dogs that the needs of the breeding dogs and puppies are not met sufficiently to provide a reasonably decent quality of life for all of the animals. Although the conditions in CBEs vary widely in quality, puppy mills are typically operated with an emphasis on profits over animal welfare and the dogs often live in substandard conditions, housed for their entire reproductive lives in cages or runs, provided little to no positive human interaction or other forms of environmental enrichment, and minimal to no veterinary care. This report reviews the following: • What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? • How are Puppies from Puppy Mills Sold? • How Many Puppies Come from Puppy Mills? • Mill Environment Impact on Dog Health • Common Ailments of Puppies from Puppy Mills • Impact of Resale Process on Puppy Health • How Puppy Buyers are Affected • Impact on Animal Shelters and Other Organizations • Conclusion • References What Makes a Breeding Facility a “Puppy Mill”? Emphasis on Quantity not Quality Puppy mills focus on quantity rather than quality. That is, they concentrate on producing as many puppies as possible to maximize profits, impacting the quality of the puppies that are produced. This leads to extreme overcrowding, with some CBEs housing 1,000+ dogs (often referred to as “mega mills”). When dogs live in overcrowded conditions, diseases spread easily.

  • Mental Misrepresentation in Non-Human Psychopathology

    Mental Misrepresentation in Non-Human Psychopathology

    Biosemiotics (2017) 10:195–210 DOI 10.1007/s12304-017-9299-2 Mental Misrepresentation in Non-human Psychopathology Krystyna Bielecka1 & Mira Marcinów2 Received: 25 October 2016 /Accepted: 10 July 2017 /Published online: 4 August 2017 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract In this paper, we defend a representational approach to at least some kinds of non-human psychopathology. Mentally-ill non-human minds, in particular in delusions, obsessive-compulsive disorders and similar cognitive states, are traditionally under- stood in purely behavioral terms. In contrast, we argue that non-human mental psy- chopathology should be at least sometimes not only ascribed contentful mental repre- sentation but also understood as really having these states. To defend this view, we appeal to the interactivist account of mental representation, which is a kind of a constructive approach to meaning. We follow Mark Bickhard in assuming that only an organism – either human or non-human – capable of detecting its own misrepre- sentations is representational. However, under his autonomy-based account of biolog- ical function these minds are incapable of misrepresentations because these minds are, ex hypothesi, unable to detect error in such representations. To solve this problem, we argue that adding a historical dimension – as in Millikan’s view on mental represen- tations – to Bickhard’s account of function makes mental misrepresentation of mentally-ill minds possible. Using Bickhard’s dynamic account of function, it is possible to explain why delusions and other mental disorders can be seen as locally functional. However, an etiological dimension can further explain why misrepresenta- tions seem to be globally dysfunctional.

    Uniting Pets and People Since 1947

    Ever Wonder How Many Animals Were Brought To HSHC Last Year? 2,896 cats and 1,350 dogs as a starter. These 4,246 animals, plus representatives from more than a dozen other species were brought to The Humane Society of Harford County in 2010. The Humane Society of Harford County is an “open admission shelter”. Unlike the "no kill" shelters located in communities throughout Maryland and the United States that are generally highly selective in the pets they take in, “open admission” means that HSHC is obligated to and accepts responsibility for taking in any animal brought to the shelter by the citizens of Harford County and Harford County Animal Control. In an average year we accept approximately 4,500 animals, and in the last year this included dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, hamsters, raccoons, rats, chinchillas, tropical fish, sugar gliders, snakes and more. We have chosen to accept the animals that are rejected by the no kill shelters and animal rescue groups; this includes aggressive dogs, feral cats, the sick and the old. And with each animal that enters our shelter, a decision must be made. There are basically two types of animal intakes. The first is owner surrender, where the legal owner of an animal is no longer able to ‐ or chooses not to ‐ care for it and the owner signs over custody to our care. The other category includes animals brought to us by animal control and strays brought in by the general public. In general, these animals are evaluated over a four day hold period by our staff ‐ primarily for health issues and temperament ‐ to determine suitability for being placed into the adoption pool.
