7 Things Pet Owners Do that Drive Veterinarians Crazy

PAWS Chicago Received 76 Pets From Tornado-Ravaged Oklahoma

16 PAWS Chicago volunteers drove to Oklahoma City to pick up the animals from Oklahoma City Animal Care & Control. The center needed space for the animals that were separated from their owners during the tornado, so PAWS drove the animals to Chicago in eight vans, then gave them complete medical care, vaccinations, microchips, and spay/neuter surgeries.
The animals were available to adopt starting last Monday, and 29 Oklahoma dogs were adopted the first day. Some are still in foster care to heal from illness or injury and will be put up for adoption soon.

Cruel, Heartless Words from FDA Veterinarian

Sharing a great idea from Karen:

I kept forgetting to go to the feed animals links, so I
came up with a solution. I have been doing it for over a
month. I put a reminder on my daily calendar, so now I
get an alert every day at 10am. I also have these links
in a bookmark folder on my bookmarks bar in Safari.
(BTW, I am on a Mac, all this might have to be done
differently on a PC, but I am sure there's a way.) When
I get the alert to feed animals, I click the bookmark
folder and choose the option to open in tabs. I click
as appropriate and am done. It takes no more than 30
seconds in all, if that much. My links:

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED

How to help the animals:

1. http://www.hipaws.com/help.html
Help feed the ones that never got adopted.

2. Always remember to check with your local shelter
to see what they need. Your donation will go directly
to the animals, in sharp contrast to some of the large
national groups, whose donation income goes toward
large administrative salaries and other expenses, not
necessarily for animals.

3. IFAW responded when the animals of Oklahoma
needed help.  But they can't do it without you.  
Please help!
