Nine County Shelter Directory, pp. 21-22 Meet Big Boyd Boyd was found as a malnourished stray in Anderson County. After extensive efforts to locate his family he was neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and listed for adoption. Public Animal Shelters Boyd is a strikingly handsome 3 to 4 year old Black and Tan Coonhound. He is an active and funloving guy in search of a dedicated family that will include him in day to day life. He LOVES to go for car rides and visit all the local pet friendly businesses. His interests include hiking, running, long walks, playing fetch, and eating. He is cat friendly and gets along with gentle, playful dogs. He is a lap dog that shares his foster mom’s bed every night. Other Humane and Rescue Groups Boyd has not been crated and would not do well alone for long periods. He is terrified of thunderstorms, fireworks, and gunshots and should not be outside alone during any of those events.

Monthly business 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; underfunded shelters may instead 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.

Winter walks through ice-melting agents can be downright dangerous, if licked off bare paws. Some advice from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will help you prevent coldweather dangers from affecting your pet’s health. • Keep your home humidified and towel dry your pet when you bring him or her inside. • Never shave your dogs down to the skin in winter, and bath them as little as possible during cold spells. • Wash and dry your pet’s feet and stomach to remove ice, salt, and chemicals; check for cracks in paw pads or redness between the toes. Massage petroleum jelly or other protectants into paw pads before going outside to help protect from salt and chemical agents. Booties will provide even more coverage. • Use pet-friendly ice melts whenever possible, and thoroughly clean up any coolant or antifreeze spills from your vehicle. Consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol. • Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside. If they must be outside while you are at work, make sure they have a draft-free, well-insulated shelter and plenty of ice-free water.

One of the most effective means to prevent this is proper training. The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley (HSTV) offers a new low-cost training program to help their adoptive community keep the commitments to the dogs they adopt. Group classes are $30 per class and limited to 3 clients. Classes cover a variety of common behavior and training issues. They are held 6 days a week, including mornings and weekends to provide flexibility for your busy lifestyle. Private in-home classes ($50 per class) are also available for dogs that may not do well in a class setting with other dogs. HSTV Adopters receive the first class free and then a $10 discount per class. Non HSTV adopters are also welcome. See humanesocietytennessee.com/training-2/ for more information. The HSTV training program is funded through a grant from the PEDIGREE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides grants to organizations that help dogs in need. Learn more about the PEDIGREE Foundation at www.pedigreefoundation.org. The Pantry For Feeding Pets (PFFP project) began to help people coming to local food pantries for food for themselves, who were also have difficulty feeding their dogs and cats. Often what happens is that dog and cat owners think they will have to abandon their pets, sacrificing the love and companionship of their animals because they cannot care for them properly. Pantry For Feeding Pets volunteers believe that just as no person in our community should go hungry, neither should their pets go hungry or be forfeited for lack of food. In March 2009, after soliciting for pet-food donations, PFFP began distributing dog and cat food to owners in economic need, shut-ins, and formerly homeless veterans. From January 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015, PFFP distributed 18,516 pet-food family portions. Serving the Knox County and surrounding areas, Pantry For Feeding Pets distributes free pet food to Senior Citizens, and low income families through Fish Hospitality Pantries.
