What To Do If...
You are having behavior or other issues with your dog or cat
Never strike or hit/abuse an animal out of anger
for bad behavior; this does nothing to fix the problem,
makes matters worse, and constitutes cruelty. Before
you consider giving up on the companion who loves you
and relies on you for their lifelong care, try to understand the behavior from their perspective. Unlike humans, pets do not act out maliciously to annoy or hurt
their guardians. They have simple motivations that
sometimes collide with what is important to humans.
Many times, there are actions you can take to help
modify the behavior. You might need to make some
simple changes or do a little detective work to get to
the bottom of the issue, or you may have to compromise with imperfection to a certain
extent when all is said and done. The biggest problem is that most people are not very
well-versed in how to deal with behavioral issues, and animal behavior is not taught to us.
Please seek the help of a behaviorist/trainer for a detailed plan of action. There
are many free behavior resources available online or via the free national telephone
behavior help lines listed in the previous section. A local pet help line is available via
the Humane Society of Southern New Mexico as well; call them at 575-523-8020. Or,
if you can afford to do so, hire a professional local trainer. They are all listed earlier in
this guide. There are also national behavior help lines listed in the guide.
You encounter a loose dog or are approached
by a dog you don’t know (bite prevention)
Because we are not taught about dog behavior nor language, we don’t often see
the bite warning signs, nor do we act in a safe way around unfamiliar dogs to deter
a bite/attack or reduce the severity if attacked.
To help prevent children, especially, from
being bitten by dogs, teach the following
basic safety tips:
• Do not approach an unfamiliar dog.
• Avoid direct eye contact with a dog.
• Do not run from a dog or scream.
• Remain motionless (e.g., “be still like a tree”)
when approached by an unfamiliar dog.
• If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and
lie still (e.g., “be still like a log”).
• Do not play with a dog unless supervised by an adult.
• Immediately report stray dogs or dogs displaying unusual behavior to
an adult.
• Do not disturb a dog that is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies.
• Do not pet a dog without allowing it to see and sniff you first.
• If bitten, immediately report the bite to an adult.
50
What To Do If...
You find a dog or cat
Hold onto the animal for as long as you can to look for the owner; assume the
animal is lost, not a stray. Caring humans assume the worst and fill in blanks with
negative stories, but the truth is the cat or dog may have an owner who loves and
misses him/her. No matter the condition you find the animal in and even if they are
acting skittish/scared, it could be that the animal has been lost for a while or has
traveled a long distance, and it is not necessarily a reflection of a bad owner. Many
animals also have these skittish characteristics outside of their comfort zones.
Look for ID tags or see if a dog “leads” you to his/her home. If not, immediately
fill out a “Found” report at the local animal shelter and check their “LOST” reports;
if possible, take a picture to place with the report at the shelter. Have the animal
scanned for a microchip at a vet’s office or the shelter as well. Additionally, free
classified ads are offered by most newspapers for lost and found animals, so call the
Las Cruces Sun-News (541-5400), The Bulletin (524-8061), and American Classifieds
(527-3463) to ask them to run a free ad; American Classifieds will post it also at
www.dogcruces.com. Also check the LOST reports online at www.hssnm.org and
www.actionprogramsforanimals.org, and report your lost pet to both organizations.
Put up a few big, bright posters at key locations where the dog was found,
preferably on poles near stop signs or traffic lights (though local ordinances may
prohibit this). An alternative is to use your car’s back windshield for this signage
with washable window markers you can get at Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, etc. The
poster should be readable from the street by passing cars, but you can also paste a
detailed flyer to it if you wish and post those around the area you found the animal,
too. Sample words for the big poster are as follows:
FOUND DOG
Black Lab Mix
555-5555
If the owner does not claim the lost animal, consider trying to find the dog
or cat a new home yourself if you can hold onto and care for the animal in the
meantime. See the “What to do if … you need to find a new home for your
dog or cat” section for advice on re-homing animals. If at all possible, please
hold onto the animal until the owner or new home can be found because our
municipal shelter is already overburdened as it is.
51
What To Do If...
You lose a dog or cat
Start searching for your lost pet immediately in your home (to make
sure they are not hiding) and in your neighborhood. Ask family members and
neighbors questions about when they saw the pet last, etc. Depending on your
dog or cat’s personality, they may be closer to home than you think. Indoor-only
cats usually don’t travel too far but may be hiding and may not come out when you
call, and gregarious dogs who love people will not travel as far as those weary of
strangers.
Create flyers and big posters to put up around your area (though local
ordinances may prohibit this). An alternative is to use your car’s back windshield
for this signage with washable window markers you can get at Wal-Mart, Hobby
Lobby, etc. Big posters with basic information should be posted at stop signs and
traffic lights or anywhere cars traveling in the area can read them from inside
their cars. You can also create smaller, detailed flyers with the pet’s name, and
offer a reward if you can afford it. Tape flyer copies to the bigger posters, post
them all around your neighborhood, and use a message as follows on the bigger
posters/your car windshield:
LOST CAT
Yellow Tabby
REWARD
555-5555
Check your local shelter(s) daily (in person) for at least one week,
and fill out a LOST report with them. Be persistent because some
animals can hide a long time, be picked up by people, or travel far
distances. It is a good idea to keep checking back at your shelter at
least once a week for up to three or more months. Check the FOUND
reports at the shelter, in all the newspaper classified ads, and on the
online postings at www.hssnm.org, www.actionprogramsforanimals.
org., and www.dogcruces.com; submit your lost reports to these online
sources as well. Additionally, free classified ads are offered by most
newspapers for lost and found animals, so call the Las Cruces Sun-News (5415400), The Bulletin (524-8061), and American Classifieds (527-3463) to ask
them to run a free ad; American Classifieds will also post it at www.dogcruces.
com. Also keep an eye out for flyers posted at vet offices and newspaper ads
featuring adoptable pets. Check online pet adoption sites, such as
www.petango.com, where your pet could end up being listed.
Consider hiring a professionally-trained pet detective. A Missing Animal
Response technician is available in our area. That contact information is as follows:

What To Do If...
You need to find a new home for your dog or cat
If you can’t keep your pet for whatever reason, the last
thing you should do is relinquish the pet to a shelter. The sad
reality is that our shelter still puts down more than 60% of the
animals it takes in, and if you can find a more appropriate home
or other option for the dog or cat, that would be worth your
WE NEED time and effort. Cats are especially at risk because the kill rate
at our shelter for them is more than 80%.

match for them. Create a flyer for your pet, and post it throughout your community where there are boards that allow you to
do so (vet offices, pet businesses, public offices, coffee houses,
etc.). Send the flyer to all your contacts via e-mail, asking for
them to forward it on to their contacts. Post flyers to target
your intended audience. For example, if you are looking for a home for an active dog,
post the flyer where active people shop and carry out their activities. Lastly, run ads in
your newspapers’ classified sections for the pet as well.
Call all local rescues, sanctuaries, and animal-welfare non-profits or some of those
in the state of NM to see if they might accept your pet or offer re-homing assistance.
All these references are listed in this guide. Give it some time, and try to find an
appropriate match for your pet. It is not a good idea to simply give the animal to
anyone who comes along. Interview and talk to the person to ensure your pet is going
into a good home.
You think your pet ingested something toxic
or got bit by a rattlesnake
Contact the ASPCA’s National Poison Control Center, 1-888-426-4435, for
advice. Seek immediate medical attention for your pet at your veterinarian
office or the emergency vet clinic if after hours or on a holiday. Some toxic
human food and beverage items to keep from pets include the following:
• Alcoholic beverages • Substances containing caffeine, such as coffee
• Chocolate • Fatty foods, especially drippings and grease from cooking
• Chicken and turkey bones • Grapes and raisins • Onions • Macadamia nuts
• Salt and sugar • Yeast dough • All medications (aspirin is especially harmful to cats)
Many other things in or around your home can cause serious illness or even
death in your pet. Here are some examples:
• Antifreeze • Bait for rodents
• Batteries (they can contain corrosive fluid)
• Car care products, such as cleaners or oils
• Fertilizer • Household cleaners
• Ice-melting products • Nicotine products
• Pesticides for insects
• Plants that are toxic to pets
• Pool or pond products • Poisonous snakes

What To Do If...
You want to add a new dog or cat to your family
Consider rescuing a dog or cat from a local animal shelter
or sanctuary instead of buying from pet stores or other sources.
Studies show that of the 165 million pets in homes in the U.S.
today, only 20% of those were adopted from shelters. Yet, our
country’s shelters put about 5 million pets to death each year.
In our area, check your local shelter first, the Animal Services
Center of the Mesilla Valley. You can also search on the Internet
at sites such as www.petango.com for a specific type of animal.
Check online postings for animals needing rescue or homes
at www.safehavenanimalsanctuary.net, www.hssnm.org, and
www.actionprogramsforanimals.org. Make sure you pick an
animal that fits your lifestyle and family/home environment, and
that could very well be an older, mellow dog versus a puppy.
When you get your new furry family member home, remember that it takes time for
them to settle in and time for existing family members to get to know the new pet. If
you have existing pets, introduce the new member slowly and safely, such as introducing
new dogs to pack members one-at-a-time and keeping the new member in a kennel the
majority of the first week and not leaving the pets unsupervised at first. Just like people
do, many animals need time to warm up to new members of the family, and issues you
experience in the first days or weeks may subside or disappear later. Give the situation
time and the new pet a real chance to become part of your family before exchanging or
returning the animal to the agency from which you adopted.
You want to adopt a pure breed dog
These days, about 25% of the animals that end up in shelters
are pure breeds, so check your local shelters and sanctuaries
first. Then, if you can’t find the breed you are looking for
there, look to a breed rescue instead of buying a dog from a
pet store or off the Internet, etc. Many of these animals come
from puppy mills, which are not only cruel but do not produce
healthy animals. All of the NM breed rescues are listed in this
guide, and you can also search for others on the Internet.
Be sure to do your research on breed characteristics and
needs before you adopt. Oftentimes, people pick a certain
breed based on looks, popularity, or cute Hollywood films,
but that’s not necessarily the right match for your lifestyle.
You want to help a cat stuck in a tree or other high area
Cats can easily get themselves stuck in a tree or on top of a light
post, but then fear sets in and they can’t come down as easily. These
days, AC departments and fire departments do not come out to rescue
cats in this situation. Usually, if the cat made his/her way up, they can
make their way down on their own. Some cats have been known to
stay put for days, so the best thing to do is leave them alone instead
of call to them and scare them more. If you do call to the cat, be sure
the person doing so is the one who is the cat’s main caretaker. You can
also place food at the base of the tree or pole to try to lure them down,
preferably something aromatic like tuna or sardines. If the cat does not
come down after a few days, try calling the local news outlets to see
if media attention will get someone out to help bring the cat down.
