Discovering A Kitten The Rewards Of Pet Adoption

There are many places to get quality pets, by looking on bulletin boards at your local veterinarian. You can even look in the newspapers; most are giving them away, to place pets in a good home.

Here though is a story, how when I wasn't even looking, I found a friend.

One evening about two years ago after a nice rain storm I went for a walk with my stepson and his friends. The smell after the rain storm was refreshing. Our house is set off in a corn field out in the country, beyond a small creek bed.

There is an old bridge that we across going to the main road, so the boys decided to run ahead to see what the rains had brought down the creek. Normally after the rains the boys would find something, this time it was a plastic bag full of kittens. In the bag were three kittens, very week and tiny and covered in mud, fleas and debris from the dirty water.

We brought the kittens home and gave them all a nice warm soapy bath. The warm bath helped stimulate and reviving their cold limp bodies. Afterwards we wrapped them in towels and used a blow dryer to warm them up.

Out from under the filth were three beautiful white kittens, crying their heads off. We knew at this point they were going to be alright. We took them to our barn and fed them a mixture, which contained some pet milk until the kittens were satisfied.

The neighbors wanted to take two of the kittens and we kept the other one. You might remember, if you have seen any of the Pink Panther Movies, Inspector Clouseau's constant companion named Cato. This name fit the kitten perfectly. He was full of life, playful and was a superb attack cat.

It most likely will give you more pleasure then you may have realized, taking care of God's creatures. Have you ever wondered about the cruelty inflicted by people on pets? How do these pets begin to trust people again after they are rescued by someone who is caring?

The Rewards Of Dog Adoptions

We've all seen stray dogs roaming the street looking scared, hungry, and frazzled. It tears your heart out. It always makes me wonder how they ended up that way.

Some slightly luckier strays might end up in shelters or getting rescued by a compassionate person. Not all dogs end up in shelters because they were

necessarily "bad" or had behavioral problems. A lot of them end up in shelters because people buy dogs without considering the effort and expense of dog

ownership. Some end up there because an owner dies or goes into a nursing home. Some are also are either given or simply dropped off there because of

divorces and neither person wants or can care for the dog by themselves. But there's many dogs end up discarded because they were used by breeders or puppy mills

as sort of breeding machines. Then when they no longer serve that purpose, they are given up

Rescued dogs who have been neglected or abandoned need training and gentle to be a good member of your household. However, they most likely will need less training than a puppy would. People don't know that a good percentage of rescue dogs aren't just mutts, but come from breeders (as mentioned earlier) or pet stores, and are pedigrees. Either way rescued dogs can make great pets and can, with your compassion and patience adapt to your lifestyle and family members. You`ll then be rewarded with their loyalty and affection. An abandoned dog is usually eager to become part of a loving pack where they feel safe and loved - since they are by nature pack animals. Many who adopt these rescued dogs describe their new family members as eager to please and form strong bonds with their human "pack".

Should you go to a shelter or rescue society (usually for a specific breed such as greyhounds), there's usually a fee which covers a medical exam, spaying or neutering, and any necessary shots. It also contributes to the cause of the shelter which is after all to keep doing what they do. You will likely meet with a volunteer worker at the shelter so you can meet the dog before you adopt and to see if it`s a good match. If the dog chooses you too with a loving gaze, then that`s a good sign that you've been approved to receive their friendship hopefully for many years to come.
