Adopt-A-Pet.Com Campaign To Help Get Homeless Animals Adopted

With the economic disaster contributing to a drastic increase in homeless pets, Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption web service, today launched a unique "Social PETworking" campaign to encourage users of social networking websites to advertise adoptable pets to their friends as a way to help homeless pets get seen and adopted.
To kick off the campaign, Adopt-a-Pet.com has declared June as "Social PETworking Month" and has set a goal of networking at least 30,000 homeless pets in the first 30 days. Adopt-a-Pet.com is also giving away a year’s supply of Purina ONE® pet food to a lucky pet lover who visits their website to help with Social PETworking.

The Pooch Manor Dog House is great for accomodating large dogs or multiple dogs. At almost three feet wide, this dog house is spacious and offers plenty of room for your dog to lounge. It is made of sturdy Asian fur to provide a long-lasting, comfy home where your pup can relax and call his own.
  "Social PETworking is a grassroots way for pet lovers to actively spread the word about individual pets in local shelters who need homes," said Dr. Pia Salk, human-animal bond expert and spokesperson for Adopt-a-Pet.com. "Using the power of tools like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and email, anyone can help save a life with just a few clicks of a mouse." Anyone who cares about homeless pets is invited to participate by taking the following simple actions:

 
  • Go to Adopt-a-Pet.com and search for a dog, cat, rabbit, or other animals (even horses and cows) in your local shelter
  • Choose the pet you want to help
  • Use the "share" tools on the pet’s page to add the pet’s photo and information to your MySpace page, Facebook profile, or Twitter feed, or email the adoptable pet to your friends, and encourage your friends to participate in the campaign.
"What better way to address the startling increase in pets being relinquished to shelters than to empower Internet users with a fun, easy way to actually save lives," said Salk. "Social PETworking enables anyone who cares about pets, including those who are not able to adopt, to be advocates for these pets and for pet adoption overall."

Tips On Giving Your Small Dog All The Care It Needs

If you are thinking about buying a small dog as a pet, remember that for the most part, they aren’t much different to a larger version. Having said that, there are certain points they need to be made aware of when looking after a small dog. Consider the following daily dog care routines, and how they’re adapted to meet the needs of your pint-sized pup.

What are you going to feed your dog?

Of course eating is the most obvious daily activity but the average kibble available from the grocery may be over-sized for your dog. You may need to go along to a larger pet food store if you want to find a kibble that will not be to big for his (or her) tiny jaw. Fortunately, canned food should not be a problem and will definitely be easier to obtain.

How to contain them:

Most dogs just require a properly fenced in yard for them to be safe – well that’s what the general belief is. Well so you would think but remember that larger dogs may be fine confined this way but a smaller dog may find ways to escape. Another problem is safety from above because it has been known for large birds of prey to swop down and carry of tiny dogs without any problem whatsoever. An answer to this might be to have a fully enclosed run or area for them to run around in.

Getting your pet to obey your commands:

Wysong Canine Biscuits™
Dog professionals tend to agree that tiny dogs are no more trouble to train than their larger cousins however, owners have a history of treating them in a way that spoils them and makes it more difficult. However tiny your dog may be, the small dog is still a follower of pack behavior where the important thing to remember is that you do not lead the pack, the dog does. One of the most important aspects of training is that the dog must imperatively be house trained even if the mess seems insignificant. Most dog professionals agree that pet dogs should be made to work as this makes it easier to train them and keep them obedient. If you can train your dog to perform small tricks and other normal things like fetching a stick for example you can then provide them with a small treat afterwards.

Wysong Canine Biscuits™ are made from high quality ingredients unlike the vast majority of conventional dog biscuits and reast. With our Canine Biscuits™ your dog’s treat is healthy and nutritious.

Doing something about the way your dog looks:

Keep in mind that grooming a small dog is slightly different to larger ones and cater for this. One such need is frequent manicuring since these tiny animals spend less time on rough surfaces than larger dogs, which usually wears the nails naturally. Brushing his teeth twice a week is mandatory, especially if he is on soft canned foods. As you can see, small dog care largely follows the same route as care for any other sized dog. The differences between each dog, may look minor and insignificant, but when you pay extra attention to each one aspect, it can provide the correct answer to a dog’s specific requirements.

Scoe 10X is the Future of Environmentally Friendly Odor Elimination

Sponsored By: Home and Garden Supermart
SCOE 10X is a 100% natural, environmentally friendly odor eliminating product. There are no harsh chemicals to harm people, pets or the environment. In fact, SCOE 10X may be applied right on your pet (such as in the case of a skunk spraying your dog) with no harmful affects. Pure science is used to kill the bacteria that actually create the odor you smell. In addition to being safe for humans and animals, SCOE 10X is safe to use on any surface and all colorfast fabrics and even leather.

SCOE 10X
The science behind SCOE 10X is what makes this product unlike, and very different from, all the other so-called odor eliminators on the market today. SCOE 10X is a beneficial probiotic odor eliminator. What this means is, SCOE 10X simultaneously performs the three separate odor eliminating functions that are needed to permanently eliminate the three components of biological odor: 1) SCOE 10X immediately captures and destroys odor molecules.

THE TOP 10 REASONS FOR PURCHASING SCOE 10X:
1. SCOE 10X is not sold in stores. We developed SCOE 10X for our Service Division’s use because every “odor elimination” product we tried failed to work.
2. SCOE 10X is the only odor eliminator that eliminates all three components of odor which permanently eliminates any biological or organic odor.
3. SCOE 10X permanently eliminates odor in seconds not hours or days. SCOE 10X is as effective removing stains as it is eliminating odor.
4. SCOE 10X contains no fragrances, alcohols or solvents (found in most other odor eliminator products like Febreze, ZeroOdor and Urine Gone) which are potentially dangerous.
5. SCOE 10X is completely non-toxic, hypoallergenic, biodegradable, environmentally friendly and very safe to use. SCOE 10X contains no biocidal properties whatsoever.
6. SCOE 10X is safe to use indoors or outdoors on any animal or plant life; including being used directly on you or your pet.
7. SCOE 10X is safe to use on any colorfast material including wood, concrete, metal, plastic, leather or fabric.
8. SCOE 10X has a shelf-life of 2 years before or after dilution.
9. SCOE 10X is shipped without added handling fees. You only pay the actual shipping charges.
10. Used as directed, if SCOE 10X does not meet or exceed your expectations, we will buy it back including standard shipping costs.
