[quote name='gooeydog']Good for you, the peace of mind will definitely pay off, knowing you have a permanent ID in place should you be seperated from her by accident. [quote]Good for Dahlila, but don't forget to register it[/quote] No kidding. I had Annie done at the SPCA walk in spring, and was told via email before the event and at the actual booth that they were handling the registration (filled out the form and handed it in right there), and it was included in the fee. I thought that was all there was to it til I tried to access it online to update the contact list and found out she's not even registered. Called the SPCA and they told me that they weren't responsible for registering the chip.... when they'd taken the registration form from me at the stand! So who knows how many other people got their dogs done at the same place and their dogs weren't registered (I'm going to have to get another form sent and pay again).... definitely make sure it gets done.[/quote] Thanks I'll ask about that on Saturday at their Wag Walk because I think they said something about Cinco where all they needed was our info in the computer and they'd send the info to AVID. [quote]And make sure you not only register it, butthat you're in the right database as well! We used Home Again for years, and the registry was run by the AKC. Well, this past year, Home Again has started their own registry, so now there are two different databases that your dog can be found through. Here are the two Home Again registries, you can register your pup on both, but we still use AKC Recovery as our main database. [/quote] I'm going to use the homeagain website to register my babies because they all have different brands. Elmbrook did use Avid so Cinco has an AVID chip in him(in the wrong spot btw :roll: ),Dahlila has Homeagain and Lizzie pretty sure we'll use Homeagain. And the ID website has a list of other companies they work with on the site. My question is that we paid about $36.00 for the chip For Dahlila and we paid about $90.00 last december for Cinco's adoption. On the website it said we have to pay about $17.00 for the enrollment fee. Did we pay for that when we paid $36.00 for Dahlila's chip? And Elmbrook puts the cost of the chip in with the adoption fee so would we still have to pay for Cinco's enrollment also?[/code]

Finaly! We had it done at the vets during her appoinment. They didn't have it at the vets office when Dahlila was a puppy. She got her bordetella and Rabies today also. Except for her front teeth being a little yellow she's healthy. We just got to go out a pet supplie store to get some doggie toothpaste. We also made appointments for Cinco and Lizzie in a few weeks. On the plus side Cinco got a treat!

RIP Sweety!

it madr me think of Max and Blacky :cry:

Yay :D Heres hoping he stays like this! :D

lol Cinco gets mistaken all the time.

Ahhhhh the cuteness is killing me! You should put a warning in the title!

You guys crack me up and scare me at the sametime :o :lol: I can just see what goes on in the secrete section :o

Awww thats soooo cool! I can't wait for Saturday to take Cinco to the wag walk and get see all the people who took care of him at the shelter.

:o Thats just stupid! They're supposed to be helping these people not making things worse for them! As if the poor woman wasn't going through enough hell already :evil: Don't they realize that these people depend on these dogs? And basicly their lives depend on them! :x

This isn't about someone in need or anything but this just came to me earlier and it's been bugging m ever since so here it is. My friends would be step sister is blind and has a guide dog. But if she lived in a Katrina area could they make her evacuate with out her dog? Or would they make an exception because she's blind?

[quote name='courtnek']I tend to think they accept sponsors no matter what. same as Petfinder. even here, you log on and see cat and dog cloning ads... I think the messageboards sit apart from the business the site is running... :o[/quote] Exactly.

[quote name='courtnek']did they find his poor distraught little ower yet? poor kid. thats hard enough on an adult..... :o[/quote] idk I think if I remember correctly they contacted the owners parents. It's late I'll look for it tomorrow. After all the horror stories on the news I'm just glad he was found!

[quote name='newfiemom']Yuck!!! That is a nasty food. Maybe if enough of the people on Dogster complain, they will be inclined to find a different sponsor.[/quote] Thats just it, I'm not speaking for anyone else but I'm sure alot of people do this, but i never pay attention to the ad on their. The important stuff is usualy in the middle or on the right. Luck i didn't see dads until now although I was on dogster ALOT today. edited to add that I'm going to contact dogster about it.

[quote name='JackieMaya']Cinco, it could very well be certain shelters that maybe the HSUS isn't involved with. If it's true, I sure hope they find homes for all the furbabies![/quote] Well now they're saying somewhere somehow someone misunderstood. Apearently they're looking for SOME foster home or something before it COMES down to eunthasia.

[quote]Dog taken from sobbing boy at Superdome located, newspaper reports MSNBC Updated: 3:07 p.m. ET Sept. 8, 2005 Amid the heart-wrenching moments of devastation from deadly hurricane Katrina, there is at least one bright spot. Snowball, a small white dog taken by police from a sobbing little boy as he and his family were boarding a bus at the Superdome, has been located, USA Today reported Thursday. Snowball is now at the Louisiana SPCA in Gonzalez, La., and will be reunited with his owner, U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinarian Terry Conger told the newspaper. The Humane Society of the United States and the Louisiana SPCA rescued 43 dogs and 16 cats from the Superdome and delivered them to a temporary shelter at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center. The dog is reported to be among an estimated 3,000 animals brought into the Louisiana shelter system. When the police took the dog during the Superdome evacuation, the boy cried "Snowball! Snowball!" until he vomited. At the time authorities said they didn't know where the boy or his dog ended up. The sad story of Snowball prompted an outpouring of emotion from pet lovers around the country who went on the hunt for the boy and his dog. One woman set up a reward offer to encourage the search for Snowball. The story was first reported by The Associated Press. Late Monday, there was a ray of hope when the United Animal Nations said Snowball was safe, citing news from the state veterinarian’s office. However, the information could not be verified because there was some confusion over whether Snowball was a terrier mix, a poodle or a bichon frise. On Thursday, the president of the Humane Society of Southeast Texas in Beaumont blasted officials for not doing enough to take care of the pets of hurricane victims. The organization is offering to temporarily take care of the pets while the evacuees find a new home, said Cindy Meyers, board president of the group. It’s important that animals are taken care of in evacuations, Meyers said, adding that it’s “inexcusable” that pets are being separated from their owners. "Pets are family members and they need to be cared for just as the people do," she said. The Associated Press contributed to this story [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9255741/[/url][/quote] YAY :D

[quote name='pwrpufgirlz'][quote name='CincoandDahlilasgirl'][quote name='JackieMaya']I looked at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Disaster Relief website which details their rescuing of pets left behind after Katrina. I didn't see anything about any animals having to be euthanized to make more room. They've set up several large-scale animal shelters to accommodate the animals, and have set up identification sites for evacuees to be able to identify their pets. Here's the link: [url]http://www.hsus.org/[/url][/quote] Either it's so new info that their site hasn't updated it yet(I'm sure they have alot of work to do) or it's just certain shelters. It's all over dogster and some email lists.[/quote] hate to take off the rose colored glasses dear, but don't believe everything you see posted on dogster.[/quote] I normaly don't. I just thought since it was on some other email lists and other forums b4 I saw this one on dogster and that you think people wouldn't lie about something like this espicaly now with everything going on.

[quote name='Doberfanatic']Supposedly someone from the IL Dobe rescue is taking in a whole family (dobes and all) from this crossposted message.[/quote] Thats cool :thumbs:

Like I said b4 maybe it's just certain shelters. I'll email ASPCA.

Here is what is REALY going on...[url]http://www.dogster.com/forums/index.php?t=82482[/url] [quote] I have come across an email on various site's forums (this one included) which adresses a need for foster homes for the animals displaced by hurricane Katrina. The email basically states the following: "If you know anyone, anywhere, that is willing to take in even one cat or dog, please have them contact Lynda at the information provided below. Lynda V. [email][email protected][/email] Please submit via email the following information; Your name, your telephone number, your city, your state and a veterinarian reference. We are compiling a master list so we can start placing animals from a shelter in Jackson. Right now there are 240 dogs, and 100 cats that need GOOD HOMES. As you can imagine, there are going to be many more. Animals will be delivered to you. The shelter we are working thru: C.A.R.A. Inc. (Community Animal Rescue & Adoption) Post Office Box 231 Clinton, MS 39060 they are a 501 C3 " (Not all of the places this message has been posted includes the Shelter info at the end). I very much wanted to help by fostering so I have sent two emails to the address provided, only to have them come back "address failed". I've been trying to figure out what to do and found this message on that shelter's message board: "Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:42 pm Post subject: Hurricane Evacuee Animals @ CARA ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ There has been a BIG misunderstanding regarding the need for foster homes at CARA. We have a few pets that were owner give-ups due to their home situations. The mention of 240 dogs & 100 cats is incorrect. These are the numbers of CARA's shelter animals, not the evacuees. We would love for people to adopt them as well as the evacuee pets. We are expecting more pets to come to the shelter, so please keep checking back with us. As for the delivering of these foster pets, there are only a few women & men that run the shelter. We don't have enough people nor vehicles for transporting. We are sorry for the confusion and hope this will help clear some of it up. _________________ Sharon L. Pritchard Office Manager/Web Designer Community Animal Rescue & Adoption 960 N. Flag Chapel Rd. Jackson, MS 601-922-7575" I'm sure many other people have been trying as I have to contact Lynda so I wanted to pass along this new information.[/quote] So sorry everyone!!!

:o glad there safe!
