Box 16230 Knoxville, Tn. 37996 (865) 579-5164 [email protected] www.peacefulkingdom.org/Critter CRITTER TEAM Juan Noltenius, Sharon Popek, Cathy Shepherd, Tom Swain, Carmen Trammell, Pam Vandergriff, and Heidi Weimer 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; 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.

Gas money is the only cost, though it is sometimes provided if someone wishes to drive but cannot afford gas. Expires March 31, 2011 This is a wonderful way to make a real difference and save the lives of dogs that would otherwise likely be euthanized.

Callie and Abby PREVENT A LITTER . . . FIX YOUR CRITTER! Reduced Cost Spay/Neuter Resources and Subsidies for Low-Income Citizens WHY SPAY & NEUTER? SPAYING & NEUTERING SPARES THE LIVES OF UNWANTED PETS! Only 1 in 9 cats and dogs born in the U.S. will find a home. The rest will be destroyed because nobody wants them. SPAYING & NEUTERING CALMS YOUR PET! Altered animals make more affectionate companions. Altered animals are less likely to bite because they are more even-tempered. SPAYING & NEUTERING INCREASES YOUR PET’S SAFETY! Neutered males are less likely to roam, run away, or get into fights. Spayed females are less likely to attract unwanted animals into your yard. SPAYING & NEUTERING EXTENDS YOUR PET’S LIFE! Altered animals live longer, healthier lives. Female cats and dogs have reduced risks of uterine, ovarian, and breast cancers. Male cats and dogs have reduced risks of prostate cancer and disorders. SPAYING & NEUTERING RESULTS IN A CLEANER HOME! Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark territory. Spaying eliminates carpet stains from bloody fluid passed by female dogs during the heat cycle.
