Thank You
A Heartfelt Thank You to our wonderful Vet, Dr. Hunter Hodges
and all the caring staff at Brassfield Animal Hospital for taking
care of our precious sweet Lucy for 9 years of her too short life.
When we found out at Christmas that little Lucy had a brain
lesion we were obviously completely devastated. Dr. Hodges
worked with us to do everything to keep her active, pain free
and with us as long as possible.
He and the entire staff were always calm, consoling and
compassionate and available to us at all hours. We could not
have been in better hands when our world was falling apart.
Thank you for always being there for us.

Dr. Magnotta is originally
from Connecticut, but
has called North Carolina
her home for the past few
years. She completed
her veterinary degree at
Oklahoma State University
in 2012 and has been in
private practice since
graduation. Her interests
include senior care,
dermatology, and pain
management. She loves
hiking, traveling, spending
time with her family,
Melissa Magnotta, DVM
and volunteering in the
community. Dr. Magnotta
recently joined the team at Brassfield Animal Hospital and is
excited to help you provide the best care for your pets!
SENIOR PETS
We wish it were only the grey hairs when it comes to aging!
Similar to the elderly, our pets experience issues that are seen
more commonly with age: achy joints, senility, and major organ
dysfunction to name a few. Veterinary medicine has come a long
way in being able to provide care for senior pets and it is our
responsibility as pet owners to provide them with the best care into
their golden years.
Many senior animals have arthritis in one or more joints.
Hesitating to jump on furniture, struggling to stand, and moving
slower are signs that your pet may have some joint discomfort.
Make sure your home is senior pet friendly and safe, so that normal
daily routines aren’t a
challenge. Even pools and
stairs can pose a danger to
an older, unsteady animal.
There are a number of
products that can help
you provide the best
care, including ramps,
orthopedic bedding,
slings, raised food bowls,
and carpet runners.
Here at Brassfield
Animal Hospital we are
well-equipped to help
ease those achy joints
by utilizing cold laser
therapy, acupuncture, and
Leeber
medication. We can also use prescription diets that contain fatty
acids, glucosamine, and antioxidants to promote joint health. Don’t
forget that added weight makes getting around even harder!
Cats with damaged and weakened muscles may not want to
stretch back to groom themselves or use a scratching post to keep
their nails trimmed. Sadly, we see too many older pets with matted
coats and nails grown into their pads. Help them out! If they won’t
let you, we can help!
If your older pet has not seen their doctor in the last year,
schedule an appointment! Do that blood work your veterinarian
has recommended! Age is not a disease, but we tend to see certain
ailments more often as animals age. Pay attention to changes in
water consumption, appetite, urination, defecation, and activity
level. Your observations at home help us with a diagnosis. We
recommend semi-annual exams and at least annual blood work, so
we can be proactive about your pet’s health! Kidney disease, liver
disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism are just a few diseases that
we can detect on blood work. Your veterinarian may suggest a diet
change, medication, and/or further diagnostics.
Knowing that our pets have similar health complications, we
should not be surprised when we see signs of dementia or cognitive
dysfunction in aging cats and dogs. Cognitive dysfunction is similar
to Alzheimer’s disease in people. Barking, difficulty sleeping
throughout the night, restlessness, aggression, pacing, confusion,
and house-soiling are signs of senility. Be patient with your pet
and let your veterinarian know you’ve picked up on these cues.
We can start your pet on a diet with antioxidants and fatty acids,
supplements, and sometimes we may consider a medication to help
nerves communicate better. Introducing new toys, food puzzles,
and exercise can help improve and delay cognitive dysfunction.
Over a year ago, my dad called upset about his 12 year old
Labrador Retriever, Leeber. Leeber stopped jumping on the couch,
slipped easily when walking, and would fall over when going to
the bathroom. My dad thought it was time. Not only did Leeber
demonstrate signs of arthritis, but he would bark all night and
repeatedly get up and down, unable to relax. After radiographs and
blood work, we decided to be aggressive with pain management
for arthritis and treatment for cognitive dysfunction. Fast forward a
year later, Leeber has more good days than bad days. He takes two
pain medications and multiple supplements a day. He is sometimes
caught attacking snowmen in the yard, attempting to jump over the
fence, and scavenging the floors for food, leaving both father and
veterinarian grateful.
Keep a close eye on your senior pet’s health and help him get the
most out of his golden years.

Cover Story
Rockingham
County Animal
Shelter
Rockingham County Anim
al Shelter
has come a long way,
from be ing just
a “pound.”
By: Brittany Flynn
G ol iat h
L
ong before the 1955 classic “Lady & the Tramp” when
Nutsy took his iconic “long walk” and Lady watched him
go down the hall to never return, Animal Shelters were
considered pounds and Animal Control Officers were
considered dog catchers. The name fit these facilities well, as stray
dogs and cats were a nuisance and rarely made it out of the pound
without some type of license. Today animal sheltering has evolved past
the “long walk” for dogs and cats and now provides hope for animals
that are seized and surrendered to their local animal shelter.
Animal Shelters provide warmth, shelter, quality food and
compassionate employees that truly care for the animals. They offer
adoptions, work with rescue partners, provide community outreach
and educate on responsible pet ownership. A little over five years
ago Rockingham County had a tiny “pound” behind a veterinarian
office. With considerable effort and county and community support,
Rockingham County Animal Shelter was built; a facility that is 10,000
square feet offering comfortable indoor kennels for dogs of all sizes
and condos for the cats living here.
The Rockingham County Animal Shelter has an adoption area
located inside the shelter offering dog and cat adoptions for a minimal
fee. Every adoption includes the pet’s spay or neuter surgery, microchip
and updated age-appropriate vaccinations. Through donations we
are able to offer cat adoptions for only $15. Dog adoptions start at
$75 and puppies are available for $110, but through many generous
sponsorships from supporters of the animal shelter, these prices can
be even lower on the dogs donors choose to sponsor. The Rockingham
County Animal Shelter provides many outlets where animals can
be viewed including the Animal Shelter website, Facebook, a local
pet store, Petfinder, Pet Tango and Triad Happy Tails Magazine each
12
month. Being able to adopt an animal from a shelter gives each animal
adopted a new start at life in a loving home as a pet and a member of
the family. For many adult animals that come through the shelter this is
a second chance at life.
Another way animals leave the shelter is through owner reclaims.
Owners come through the shelter every day in hopes of finding their
beloved family pet. Licensing with the pet’s name, owner’s name and
phone number help reunite many animals with their family quickly,
resulting in a short stay at the shelter. What happens, though, when
their collar is lost during their adventures outside of their home?
Microchips are an amazing way to get lost animals home. Once
implanted underneath the fur the owner’s and pet’s information are
registered. When your pet comes into the animal shelter and is scanned,
his/her identification can be easily found even without a collar. We
have had the opportunity to reunite many pets with their owners and
this doesn’t just pertain to pets that have been lost for a couple days;
some of the animals that have come through the shelter doors have
been lost for several months to several years. These owners, some that
had given up all hope of finding their lost family member, are shocked,
surprised and overcome with many feelings of happiness and gratitude
that they will soon be reunited with a long lost member of their family
when they receive that phone call saying their pet is at the shelter.
While we love seeing animals adopted or reunited with their owners,
there is another way out of the shelter for these animals. Rescue
partners have been a big resource that the shelter utilizes. Rescue
groups come in all shapes and sizes; from breed specific groups, cat
or dog only organizations, to all breed rescues. These partnerships
not only help healthy, happy animals but animals that are in need
of medical attention that our shelter cannot offer. We have had the
opportunity to work alongside the Humane Society of the United
States for a large scale seizure with more animals than the shelter
was able to hold, especially since we already had numerous animals
that already resided here. The Humane Society of Charlotte stepped
forward to help thirteen dogs that were living in deplorable conditions
causing many of the animals to need around the clock supportive care
and experienced fosters to care for them until they were well enough to
be adopted. Many breed specific groups have been wonderful partners
when the shelter has received less than desirable pure breeds that are
being overlooked for adoption because of their age or current health
status. Martinsville-Henry County SPCA has become a frequent
visitor to the shelter, transferring many animals into their care from
every age, size and breed. The shelter is not only the beginning of
a new life; it is also the beginning of an amazing adventure for the
animals and people alike. So far we have transferred animals as far
south as Florida, as far west as Texas and even as far north as Canada.
Sheltering has come a long way from the “long walk” and the
Rockingham County Animal Shelter has come a long way from
just a “pound.” We give hope and shelter for all those in need. We
encourage you to come by our facility and visit with the animals, meet

Jessica Taylor, DVM - Guilford-Jamestown Veterinary Hospital
Doctor Taylor grew up in Georgia, but has called North Carolina home since 1998. She completed her Bachelor of Science
in Animal Science from North Carolina State University in 2000, and she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from
the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006.
As member of Guilford-Jamestown Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Taylor strives to help owners strengthen the bond with their
pets through preventative care and education. She has special interests in cardiology, pain and arthritis management and
endocrine diseases such as diabetes. She is a member of the American and North Carolina Veterinary Medical Associations
and the American Association of Feline Practitioners.
Dr. Taylor lives with her husband, two beautiful daughters, a lazy hound dog, Indiana and a very bossy cat, Eugene. She
enjoys volunteering in her church and the community. In her rare free time, she loves spending time with her family, especially
outdoors, running, and also enjoys reading.
Top 5 Things You Don’t Want to Tell Your Vet (but Should!)
1. You forgot to give the heartworm pill…again! Life gets busy- we
understand! When you come in and tell us you still have pills at
home, we already know that the math doesn’t add up. We can see
when you last purchased it. But, please, don’t be afraid to tell us here is why we need to know!
•We can tell you if you are still in the safe zone - a few days late may
not be a big deal
• I f you have missed a few doses, your pet may be at risk - even a few
months down the road after missing the pill. There is a small window
where the heartworm pills will kill the immature heartworms. If
we miss this, the larva can mature and turn in to adult heartworms.
It can take up to six months for a positive result to show up! If we
don’t detect them early, damage can occur to the heart and lungs and
can make your dog very sick. Let us know when the last missed dose
happened, and we can develop a plan to ensure your pet is safe.
•M
issing a dose or three during the winter shouldn’t be a big deal,
right? Remember Christmas Day 2015? It was over 70 degrees and
sunny. Mosquitoes can be present all year in our climate, so we need
to be vigilant all year! Plus, many preventions protect against more
than heartworms (fleas, intestinal parasites).
• Your veterinarian may have other choices!!! There are injectable
products for those of us who forget. There are topical options for
pets who are geniuses at spitting out a pill. Ask us - we will help you
come up with a plan!
2. Your pet ate something…but you can’t (won’t) tell us what. If your
pet isn’t acting well, we need to know all the details. Unfortunately,
they are really bad at
filling us in, so we rely
on you. Even though
your vet has told you before not to give people
food, we need to know
that Fido got a ham
hock. Or that Fluffy may
have scarfed a pill off
of the floor. We really want to help your pet feel better as quickly as
possible, so we won’t and don’t have time to judge you about what
is in your house. Having an idea of what they ate can direct what
tests we need to perform and how to start treatment.
3. Your cat goes outside. Indoor kitties tend to live longer and have
lower risk for infectious disease. But some felines just have the
urge to get outside! If your cat started as an indoor only pet but has
transitioned to spending time outside, we need to know. Vaccines
for Feline Leukemia are very important in preventing this communicable and life threatening disease! However, most indoor only cats
don’t need this vaccine due to low risk. Also, no one wants fleas in
their house, but the outdoor world is a great place for your mouser
to pick them up. We can talk about ways to ensure everyone is safe
and sane!
4. You already gave your pet some OTC medicine at home. When you
bring your pet in for a problem, it often has been going on for more
than a day and isn’t getting better on its own. The veterinary nurse
will ask if Fido is on any medication, and almost all owners say,
“No”. Then the doctor comes in and asks again if you have given
Fido anything for the problem. It sometimes takes asking three or
four different ways before we discover that an owner gave a pill,
supplement, aspirin or even some of their own medication. This is
very important for us to know! Pets do not metabolize medication
the same way as people, and many seemingly harmless doses can be
toxic to pets. It can also significantly change what medications we
can prescribe going forward. Tell the staff everything, no matter how
small, that you have put in, or on your pet!
5. You have a budget. We understand that unexpected costs can upset
our budget, and sometimes our pets pick the worst time to get sick!
Veterinary medicine is amazing in that we have many wonderful
tests to investigate and diagnose problems. Your veterinarian will
recommend the best course of action to get to answers quickly.
However, if you know you have a certain amount available, please
let us know. There are special medical credit lines and alternative
plans that we can discuss with you to make sure your pet receives
the best care possible. Having an open dialogue will make sure
everyone is on the same page!
Your veterinarian is your pets’ family doctor, and we rely on you,
the owner to be their advocate! Being open and honest about your
pet and their environment will ensure that your life together will be
as long and healthy as possible. So help us out and we will repay the
kindness in treats for your furry friend!

Training Your Pet
By Brad Howell, Red Beard Dog Training
D
og ownership is a great experience. Despite all we
provide (food, shelter, veterinary care, etc.) the return
we receive is much greater!
Our dogs shower us with unconditional love and
provide us with material for goofy videos to post on
social media. They snuggle up to us when we’re sad and never pass
judgment on all the horrible mistakes we make as humans. Despite all
of the emotional support our dogs provide, we have to remember that
their needs are much different than our own.
There are a lot of opinions on what is the best way to train or raise
our dogs. There is no right answer and every dog is different. But
advocating for them — even sometimes at the expense of people’s
feelings —is paramount to their success.
a dog’s needs. We all
know that super sweet
Golden Retriever
down the street that
is the perfect dog, but
that’s just not reality.
Television is also
bad about portraying
every dog as a teddy
bear with no special
boundaries. Children are easily influenced and they like watching TV.
Which leads me to my next point…
Structure is a good thing
Dogs and kids are a great combination with the right supervision.
However, when their interactions aren’t monitored, it can — at best—
be extremely unfair to the dog, and — at worst — very dangerous.
Just because the dog tolerates kids pulling on their ears, giving them
bear hugs and riding them like horses doesn’t make it right to do. Kids
are bitten more than any demographic of people and often times it is
on the face. This is a clear violation of the dog’s space and is easily
avoidable in most cases.
If your dog is acting uncomfortable or showing even clearer warning
signs (growling, snarling) do not punish the dog for giving a clear
warning. Remove your children from the situation and be vigilant about
their requirement to respect the dog’s space.
Learning what your own dog is comfortable with around your own
children is much easier to determine than your kids with other dogs.
If in public, always ask the owner for permission to approach and
pet. Even if they grant the permission, pay attention to the dog’s body
language. If they do everything they can to avoid the interaction, it is
best to leave them alone. A fearful dog will typically get all the space it
can, but once they are at the end of their leash it can put them in a very
tough spot.
People have the best of intentions when it comes to interacting with
our dogs, but the best intentions don’t always make for the best results.
We already shower them with love and give them great homes, but we
don’t have to stop there…be an advocate for your dog.
Even the most basic training is essential. Most dogs are begging for
your leadership. They don’t want to shoulder the burden of being in
charge. Learning to leash walk is arguably the most important task to
learn. You must use a leash at all times in most cities and you will be
more likely to walk your dog more the better it behaves on-leash.
Asking your dog to complete simple commands before getting a nice
scratch on the head or a treat is also a good habit. They don’t require
world-class training to have solid structure.
Crates are not cruel and are life-savers in many cases. Get your dog
comfortable in a crate! Even dogs that do not stress out in the house and
are not destructive should be comfortable in a crate in case they ever
travel or are required to be confined to recover from an injury/surgery.
Don’t be afraid to say “no”
Socialization is important for dogs and can mean a lot of things…
it all depends on the dog. Sometimes that can mean playing off-leash
at the dog park or politely taking treats from humans. Other times, it
means just being able to walk in the presence of other people and/or
dogs without having a meltdown.
I was recently working in a store to help a client’s very nervous
German Shepherd with some socialization. The dog was very fearful
but was gaining some confidence after a few minutes of uninterrupted
socialization. She watched the employees and customers go about their
business and became more and more comfortable the longer people
ignored her. This was huge progress. Just as we were about to leave a
lady began making a beeline to us from the far end of the store. My dog
immediately began to get nervous. Seeing that she was clearly coming
to us without hesitation, I told the lady to please give us some room and
that she could not pet the dog because it was very nervous.
The lady looked at me like I was crazy and continued to approach.
My dog began to bark loudly as she stared directly at it and spoke in
a baby voice telling it everything was OK. I backed away and told her
more firmly to stop or the dog would bite her. She left in a huff, but an
angry person is better than a bit person. Just as importantly, I’m glad
she ultimately didn’t further the shepherd’s distrust of people any more
than she already did.
The lady meant well, but it’s a classic example of misunderstanding

Trixie
is 9 years
young! This girl loves
to go places and is social
with people and kids.
She is an all-around
great girl. Trixie came
to us after being left at a
local shelter and needed
some extra help to find
her forever family. She
is a typical Hound
dog whose nose drives
quite a bit of her day-to-day activities. As long as there is no cat
around, Trixie is all for lots of love, affection, and adoration from her
humans. She doesn’t mind other dogs!
Visit www.reddogfarm.com for more information. n
Sugar is a super
Nemo
is an
adorable small pony
gelding that is 4 years
old. He is quite a fancy
little mover and most
that see him trot think
he would be ideal to pull
a cart. Nemo appears to
have very little training
and is very nervous when
approached. He and his
pasture mates were abandoned by their owner and were taken in by
animal control so we do not know his history. He is very sweet and
with patience and time we believe would be a great pony!
If you are interested in adopting Nemo, please complete the adoption
application at www.reddogfarm.com. n
Daisy
sweet 8 year old female
Boer goat. She has
been well cared for and
loved by her owner.
Sadly, her owner’s
circumstances changed
and they could no
longer keep her. Sugar
is up-to-date on her
vaccines and is very
healthy. She loves to be
scratched on her neck
and gets along with other goats with no problem.
came to Red Dog
Farm when her owner had to go
in to Hospice care. She has been
primarily an only dog but doesn’t
mind other dogs so long as they
are respectful of her space. She
seems to prefer smaller dogs over
larger dogs but really prefers a
little space. She is a tad shy when you first meet her, as her world
has been turned upside down. With a little space and some time, she
warms up fairly quickly to her people. Daisy would love to find a
forever home where she is the apple of someone’s eye. We are still
getting to know her but will keep you updated. In the meantime, she
is up-to-date on her vaccines, spayed, and microchipped.
Apply to add Sugar to your family and herd by visiting us online at
www.reddogfarm.com. n
If you are interested in adopting Daisy, please fill out an application
at www.reddogfarm.com. n
Princeton
was surrendered to
us when his owner
could no longer care
for him. He is sweet
and social but is still
young so he will
need someone to
continue to help him
learn his manners.
He loves his hay!
Princeton doesn’t
seem to mind the cat
in his foster home
and takes most things in stride.

Mufasa
- Hear me roar...
This little fella was found by an
employee of the North Carolina
Zoo. We think he was looking for
his family and thought the lions
might make a nice pride. Don’t
worry he wasn’t actually anywhere
near the Lion exhibit. However,
we thought the name Mufasa was
fitting for such a big personality
in a little body. This fella appears to have some determination in
him. He just came to us and has an eye infection. He is currently on
some medication and is expected to make a full recovery. He will be
available for adoption near the end of June, so hurry and apply today.
If you are interested in adopting Mufasa please visit us online at
www.reddogfarm.com. n
Harrison.
It’s hard
to believe that at 5 months
I could be such a worldly
little fella. I’ve been a
hitch-hiker (saved from
the side of HWY 220),
I rescued a kind person
from that Highway (she
scooped me right up and
brought me to rescue),
I’ve chased big cats across
the wild (my fosters back
Hayley Graves Foundation
yard), and played in the
World with Super Heros (small children)! But I have lived this life!
Now I need to move on to the next adventure! I need to find the next
family to save! Harrison will only be adopted to a cat free zone.
If you think I need to save your family please email The Haley Graves
Foundation at [email protected] or you can apply online at
www.thehaleygravesfoundation.com. n
Say hello to Loretta! Loretta
is a 3-year-old, medium-sized
female who is good with kids
and other dogs. She is sweet
and loving and likes nothing
more than to be snuggled up
on the couch watching a good
movie, getting belly rubs. She’s
perfect on a leash, she barely
pulls and stays right with you.
She was dumped at the shelter
when her “family” was moving and left her behind. She was there for about
3 months and her time was up so we took her in to the rescue.

Tiger
Jethro
is a one-yearold Boxer mix that is
one handsome boy. He
is about 73 pounds and
is appropriately named
as he has beautiful,
golden honey fur with
black brindle stripes
which makes his coat
resemble that of a Tiger. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and
microchipped. Tiger is smart, curious and does well with most other
dogs. As one of our kennel staff said, he is the perfect mix between
relaxed and playful. Although Tiger is sweet and loving, Tiger is also
big and strong and needs someone capable of handling his strength
and size. He would do well with training and needs regular exercise.
is a 3-year-old Boxer/
Lab mix who is full of sweetness and
tail wags. He is smart and would
pick up training fairly quick. Jethro
also likes to play. We often hear him
playing with one of his favorite toys,
which is his food bowl. After he eats
he likes to flip his bowl over and play
with it like it’s a hockey puck. Sweet,
smart and playful make Jethro a good
fit for almost any home but he does
need regular exercise and a fenced
yard would be great. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and
microchipped. Jethro is a great dog and he is sure to be just the right
size to fit into your heart and home.
Call SPCA of the Triad at 375-3222 for more information. n
Velvet
Marmalade
is a bit shy, but has
really started to blossom. This
gorgeous one year old Lab/Chow mix
with beautiful long fur gets along
with other dogs and is very loving.
She walks well on a leash and knows
basic commands. Velvet also likes to
play and enjoys her chew toys. She
is gentle, friendly and once she trusts
you, she is quick to roll over and ask for belly rubs. She is spayed,
up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. All she needs now is
someone that can continue to help her blossom and who will provide
a stable, loving home. The best fit for her would be a calm and
relaxed home with no small children. Velvet’s sweet personality will
be sure to win your heart.
is a beautiful
4 year-old, orange and white tabby
with such a sweet personality.
Calm and quiet, Marmalade likes
to watch all the activity going on
around him but he also has lots of
curiosity and playfulness hiding
behind that cute face. He gets
along well with other cats and also
enjoys a hearty meal and a good
long nap! He would fit into almost
any home, but being older he would probably be more comfortable in
a calm, relaxed home without small children. If you think you have a
space in your heart big enough for Marmalade, then contact us right
away about meeting your new snuggle buddy.
Portia.
Snowy white with
beautiful green eyes, that is Portia!
Portia is an 8 year old domestic short
hair cat. She loves to be petted, brushed
and pampered like the beautiful snow
princess that she is. Portia prefers
to spend most of her daytime hours
perched upon her throne (a chair in
the front office with her cat bed on it).
When she’s not getting her beauty rest
she can be found at the top of her watch
tower (a.k.a. the cat tree) looking out over all of her feline subjects. As
she sleeps the days away, Portia dreams of living in her very own furever castle with her very own human. Could you be Portia’s knight in
shining armor and make all Portia’s dreams come true?
Call SPCA of the Triad at 375-3222 for more information.

Sarah
came to the SPCA
when her owner passed away and
nobody in the family could take her
in. Sweet, talkative and beautiful,
Sarah is about 14 years-old. She
is in good health but she does
have some benign growths, mostly
on her face. Great news is these
growths are being removed and
Sarah will be able strut her stuff
and show off her true beauty.
Sarah has been spayed, is up-to-date on all her vaccines and has a
microchip. She is best suited for a home with no children, one that is
calm and relaxed...a home where she can purr to her heart’s content
and get nothing but lots of love!

just likes to have fun. She currently

possibly worse—abused.
Sampson needed to see

Merit Pit Bull
was found in an
abandoned home with another dog
who is also safe with Merit Pit Bull
Foundation. She had no hair when
she was brought into Merit’s care,
but has really blossomed in her
foster home. Her hair is starting to
grow, thanks to her medicated baths
and she feels more comfortable
now. She currently lives with other
dogs and a cat and would do well
in an adoptive home with other
animals. Wilma is approximately 5
years old and is crate-trained.

toys just don’t have a chance. Nikki is a small guy and we are not
sure how big he will get...but his cattitude will take him far. Nikki is
neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and tested for Felv/FIV.

Oakley
Sable
is a beautiful chocolate
Burmese/DSH mix. The light
undercoat is apparent in her pictures.
She was abandoned at the AARF
house, but maintains a happy and
friendly attitude. She’s looking for a
home with people who will adore her.
She is very outgoing and talkative.
We’re not sure of her age but she is full
of energy. Come by the AARF house
and meet her and give us your best
guess!

our cats at the AARF House (311 Harvey St, Winston Salem) during
our adoption fair hours. Go to www.aarfanimals.org for information

Mystic
is a stunning white
male cat with vivid green eyes. He
is outgoing and friendly and loves
to be petted and brushed. Oakley
and his “brother” Owen came to
AARF when their owner died.
They would like to be adopted
together. Oakley was born in the
spring of 2011 and is neutered and
current on shots. He is FIV/FELV
negative.

Panda.
is one of numerous
AARF kittens looking for permanent
homes this spring. AARF and Forsyth
County Animal Control team up
through the Community Care Program
to save many pregnant cats, nursing
moms and kittens, and orphaned
kittens by placing these at-risk felines
in foster homes until they can be
adopted. Even if you cannot adopt,
you can help with this effort — AARF is always looking for foster
homes for the temporary placement of cats and kittens.
My name is Panda and I
was born around January 2014. I was
abandoned in a parking lot when my
owners found out I was pregnant. A nice
man saw me, picked me up, and took me
to AARF. I carried my babies full term,
but for unknown causes my babies were
deformed and had to be removed by
C-section. Despite my rough start, I’m
the sweetest cat. I love nothing more than to be pet and cuddled. I
absolutely love belly rubs. I don’t even mind being picked up and
held. I’m very laid back and would do well in a household with kids.

Pickle
is a thoughtful,
affectionate kitty, born around March
2016. His foster mom thinks he’s going
to be a “look before he leaps” kind of
cat, but once he’s in the game, he’s in it
to win it and he loves to play with his
litter mates! When Pickle was six weeks
old, he showed up on his foster mother’s
porch with his mother and three litter
mates, and moved into the house three
days later. He’s been in foster care ever since. This gorgeous kitten
will be a wonderful addition to a household that can provide him with
a calm environment and lots of affection.

is a sweet nine year old
Jack Russell/Parson Terrier mix that
was surrendered to the Guilford
County Animal Shelter. He became
very depressed at the shelter and
had numerous health issues that
included intense ear infections, an
upper respiratory infection and he was severely overweight due to
inactivity. Today, Zeke is a happy boy in a foster home. He is eating
healthy food, taking long walks and his ailments are cured. He has
been fully vetted, is heartworm negative and up-to-date on vaccines.

lavish all of the attention!) and with a family of older children willing
to take him for long walks and car rides (which he loves!).

along with some dogs (provided proper,
slow introductions are made), he loves to lay out in the yard and sun
himself and he is heartworm positive (though that is highly treatable
and successfully so). Blue has not had it easy prior to joining our

family, he is learning to love life again! If you can give this beautiful

beautiful 3 y/o boy with crystal blue
eyes? Do you enjoy walking in the
woods and getting “thank you kisses”
afterwards? Then Sully is your boy.
His most ideal family will be one
with older children. Although he
would thrive best as the only dog
in the family, he is good with other
non-dominant dogs. He is currently
being treated for heartworms. No
worries. His adoption fee is sponsored
($45) which includes current shots,
microchip, neuter and of course lots of kisses.
Lil-Bit
is a 5 year old
Russian Blue mix that was
surrendered to the shelter. As
a long time resident of the
shelter, this lovely lady isn’t
fond of other cats but loves
attention from people. Give
this girl a head rub and you
instantly have a new friend.
She is a laid back girl that
will be happy in a sunny
window. Lil-Bit’s adoption fee
is only $37.50 and she comes spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
Marla
is a 2 y/o domestic
short-haired female who came
to the shelter as a stray. Marla
is the Diva of the cat-room. Her
favorite resting place - your lap.
She is loving towards all humans
and as a Diva would do best as
the only cat of the household.
Her adoption fee is sponsored
($50). This include all current
shots, microchip and spay.

T
his is our little foster Pug named Harley, but we fondly call her Lady Bear or Sugar Bear. She’s an 11-year-old Pug who, due to lack of care from her
former owners, could not walk when she came to our rescue in November of 2015. However, she has made a great recovery
ever since she has been with the rescue and she has begun to pick herself up and walk a bit, but not very well, due to a disc
problem in her spine. Losing a lot weight has increased her mobility tremendously, even with her current disabilities, she is
a ball of energy and she can run and play with the rest of our Pugs just fine. Harley has become somewhat attached to our
young paunchy Pug, Copper, and she chases him around the house. She loves getting neck and back scratches from her foster family and will give anyone that walks through the door a big, “barooooo” with a bubbly, cute, playful bark. She is such
a cute sweetheart and her life would have been different had her former owners not surrendered Harley to the rescue. She
tends to drag her back legs around mostly, but for the most part, she can get around just fine. Harley may need a wheelchair
in the future. Do to her back issue, she has no control over her pooping and peeing and will need to wear diapers for the rest of
her life. However, if carried outside, she only needs a little bit of help and a boost then she can use the bathroom outdoors.
Harley’s owners (had her since she was a puppy), wanted to give her up because their jobs were too demanding, had a
10-month-old and another baby on the way. All suggested that she was not being walked like she should have, so they decided
that they couldn’t “take care of ” her anymore. We are unsure of what all of her damages are, due to lack of consistency in
records. We think that she could have a degenerative disc disease, Hip Dysplasia, or a combination of both. She’s up-to-date
on routine shots, spayed, heartworm negative.
Fostered near High Point, NC please - put in your application at www.pugrescuenc.org, adoption fee is waived for the perfect family. n

Spotlight on Ruff Housing
Ruff Housing’s
Enrichment Program
Is All About Your Dog
W
hen you look at your dog, what do you see? You’re
bound to see lots of cozy fur, an energetically
wagging tail and a happy face staring back at you,
just waiting to give you a big ol’ slobbery kiss. But
you are definitely seeing more than just a dog – your pet is a part of
your family. They are a lot like you in many ways, and that’s one of the
many reasons we welcome those slobbery kisses.
Just like you, they have unique needs, desires, thoughts and feelings.
There’s a lot going on under all that fur. Sometimes that can be easy to
forget when it comes to boarding or daycare. Luckily for dog owners,
Ruff Housing exists to make things a lot less, well – rough. This is
far from your average dog boarding. This is personalized care, where
your pets spend their days interacting with peers and people, getting
the attention they need and the play they desire to stay physically and
emotionally healthy.
You go on vacation, so it makes sense that your dog should too.
What better place for them to go than one designed specifically by dog
owners and dog lovers to give them the type of play and interaction
they require! To put it another way, Ruff Housing believes that dog
48
boarding does not have to be dog boredom. They provide a wellrounded, customized, fun experience for your dog that meets their
needs for socialization, physical exercise and mental stimulation.
It is the focus on the individuality of your dog that sets Ruff Housing
apart. The proof is in their newly launched Enrichment
Program. While they offer a standard group play that
works for many dogs, it is not ideal for every dog. The
Enrichment Program can be a great alternative for the
pup who needs some one-on-one time or smaller group
interaction. It can even be combined with the standard
group play to give your dog an all-around experience.
Ruff Housing believes in giving their canine guests
a rejuvenating and enjoyable experience, rather than
simply giving your pet a place to stay. The Enrichment
Program focuses on a mind and body balance,
something not often talked about elsewhere. Your
dog has a personality just barking to come out, and
the goal of this program is to give your dog the care
he or she needs to make that personality really shine.
Ruff Housing wants your dog to greet you happy
and refreshed when you pick them up and for that to
continue long after they leave.
To ensure that happens, a wide variety of exciting activities is
used to engage your dogs on their level and continue to build them
up. A typical day in the Enrichment Program can include FitPaws
balance training and exercise, practice of basic commands, learning
new tricks, treadmill exercise, nose work and even some relaxing
alone time with calming music and food puzzles. On top of that is
everybody’s favorite part – lots of love and personal attention for
your dog from their staff of dog lovers.
Ruff Housing’s mission statement says it all. “Your dog’s safety,
well-being and happiness are top priorities.” Each of those areas of
focus is imbedded into everything they do. Their state-of-the-art
facilities, procedures and staff far exceed industry standards. They
have indoor and outdoor considerations specifically for dogs and
