ADVERTISING
Magazine space is no-cost to organizations or individuals caring for
animals who need homes. Monthly business sponsorship rates are $300/
150/75/35 for a full-page/half-page/quarter-page/business card ad in color,
and $200/100/50/25 for grayscale ads. A one year subscription is $25.
ADOPTION CRITERIA
Each organization in Critter has its own adoption criteria. All organizations
require an adoption contract and a fee to recoup basic expenses. All will
require that your adoptee be a pet, not merely a utility animal for protection
or hunting. Most will ensure that the animals are spayed or neutered at
the time of adoption; those that don’t will require a spay/neuter contract
and a deposit that will be refunded upon proof of spay or neuter. Most will
want to visit your home and see where the pet will live. Because many
of these animals have not been well treated in the past, extra care is
taken to ensure their safety and happiness in the future.

Feral cats. Abandoned by their human families or simply lost, unsterilized housecats eventually band together in groups called colonies. Without
human contact for a prolonged period, the cats revert to a wild state. They make homes wherever they can find food. Mothers teach their kittens to
avoid humans and to defend themselves. Their numbers steadily increase, even if meager scraps are all the food to be had. No one knows exactly
how many feral cats live in the United States, but the number is estimated in the tens of millions. They are often wrongly portrayed as disease-ridden
nuisances, responsible for endangering native species. As a consequence, feral feline communities are frequently rounded up and because they
have had little or no human contact and are thus unadoptable, they are killed.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a comprehensive plan where entire feral colonies are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and neutered by
veterinarians. Kittens and cats that are tame enough to be adopted are placed in good homes. Adult cats are returned to their familiar habitat to live out
their lives under the watchful care of sympathetic neighborhood volunteers. TNR works. Cat populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviors
associated with breeding, such as the yowling of females or the spraying of toms, are virtually eliminated. Disease and malnutrition are greatly
reduced. The cats live healthy, safe, and peaceful lives in their territories.
Spaying your female before her first litter will save 10 lives.
Join the battle against pet overpopulation in Knox County by
getting your female spayed before she has a first litter.

legs. Unable to stand or walk,
he fought the chain until skin

strong in spirit and
determination. His eyes
always meet yours with love,
despite the pain his frail body
has endured. With love and

Max is between 2 and 3 years old.
He has a tri-colored mediumlength coat. Max is a little shy with
strangers, but once he knows you,
you will never meet a sweeter
dog. He has no alpha or
aggressive behavior and gets
along well with his foster brothers
and sisters. He does need a
fenced yard for his safety.
Katie came from a truly
horrendous situation of abuse.
She had spent almost her
entire life in a rusted metal
cage, and hardly knew how to
stand on firm ground when she
was rescued. She has
adjusted well to her new life of
good care, exercise, and TLC
and is ready to be adopted!
Gertie, Gertie, Gertie! This adorable 5 year
old Border Collie mix came to the animal
shelter as a stray. The shelter staff fell in
love with Gertie, and ETBCR wanted to
help Gertie find a forever family that will take

human.

Gentle giant Kahmir (above) is a 1½ year old fawn male Mastiff
who was a stray before being rescued from a local shelter by
Friends of Rescued Mastiffs. He obviously lived indoors in his
former life. When left in a kennel run he climbed on top of the dog
house, jumped over the fence and came to the kitchen door at his
foster mom’s house. So, now he’s a house dog at his foster mom’s
house. He knows about drinking out of the toilet and finding snacks
on the kitchen counter (but is not allowed to do either). He seems to
be friendlywith other dogs, but he does not like cats! He loves to
chase his toy when you
throw it and brings it back.
Kahmir is still very much a
