ADOPTION UPDATES
BUDDY
Billy Boy, now Buddy was adopted about 3
years ago. Look how handsome he turned
out to be. Buddy is doing great.
Dan
Thank you to everyone who has
adopted an animals and given
them a new and better Ufe.
When you adopt you actually
save 2 lives, the life of the animal
you adopt which then opens up a
space for another animal to be
brought in for adoption.
If you have adopted an animal
from HS CAR we would love an
update with a picture on how
they are doing in their new home.
We love those
Belk,
now named
Snowy
He has become comfortable, exploring his
new home, getting acquainted with us,
playing, sleeping on a cushion in my home
office, sitting in the sun on the windowsills.
I work from home so he has been spending
a lot of time in my office with me. He's a
good little guy and we are so happy to have
him. He's also got a very loud purr!
Thanks for all your help!

One issue with this time of year is flowering plants, blossoming trees and the explosion of
weeds. Being that most dogs taking in 70% of the information they gather about the world
through their nose this can become an issue. To help deal with the pollen you can add local
honey (Clover preferred but any honey will do if you can't find it) about an eighth of the
teaspoon per 25 pounds 3 to 5 times a week. Along with helping with digestion issues
honey can help build your dog's pollen tolerance to decrease sneezing, sinus issues and
alleviate symptoms of asthma. Dogs like small children will attempt to eat almost anything.
There are a lot of plants and bugs that contain toxins that although they are not deadly can
make your dog very sick. So if your dog throws up keep these guidelines in mind. Watch and
wait for a little while it may be a one-time occurrence from something they ate. If they
throw up more than once make sure you look at their behavior. Are they refusing to eat? '
Are they being lethargic? Has there basic activity level changed? Are they sensitive to
touch? Was there a foreign substance in the vomit? Was there blood in the vomit? Are they
drinking any water? If the answer to the majority of these questions was no then the
problem should work itself out. The two exceptions are the questions about water and
blood. If these are yes then you have to look at the amount involved. If they're drinking a
little less are a little more than normal they're probably okay if the levels are extreme go to
the vet. If there is a trace of blood that is usually okay if there is excess go to the vet.
