Three out of ten dogs in shelters are euthanized each year, with dogs making up 51% of pets in shelters. It is recommended to adopt rather than buy pets due to overpopulation issues from puppy mills and lack of spaying/neutering. When adopting, consider personality over purebred status and that shelter dogs are often already house trained.

Ch14beyond mendelteacherabsent
This document discusses several concepts in genetics beyond Mendel's laws of inheritance:
1) Incomplete dominance where the heterozygote shows an intermediate phenotype like pink flowers between red and white.
2) Codominance where both alleles are expressed equally like blood types.
3) Pleiotropy where one gene affects multiple traits like dwarfism or gigantism.
4) Epistasis where one gene masks the expression of another like coat color in mice.
5) Polygenic traits determined by multiple additive genes like human traits of skin color, height, and intelligence.
Justice for the Voiceless
This document discusses deliberate cruelty and neglect of animals, which can occur on factory farms, SeaWorld, puppy mills, horse racing, and dog fighting locations. It notes that cruelty and neglect of animals can increase human crime, domestic violence, decrease food quality, and raise death rates. The document provides solutions for helping animals such as adopting instead of buying pets, checking food sources, and signing online petitions.
Public service announcement
This public service announcement encourages adopting pets from shelters and rescues. It notes that over 5 million dogs and cats end up in shelters each year. Adopting a shelter animal saves lives by providing homes for these animals. The document features photos of several dogs and cats that were adopted from shelters to demonstrate the rewards of adopting rescue animals.
POSTER1
Some states and countries have enacted laws targeting specific dog breeds like pit bulls in response to well-publicized incidents involving dog fighting. While breed specific legislation aims to increase safety, temperament testing shows American Pitbull Terriers have an 85.3% passing rate compared to 81.9% for all breeds on average. Studies also find that unneutered male dogs and dogs that are chained or tethered are significantly more likely to bite than other dogs, and the majority of fatal dog attacks in 2006 involved unneutered dogs that were used for guarding, fighting or breeding rather than as pets.
Do not buy adopt!
A presentation about importance and reasons of adopting our pets from streets rather than buying them from petshops.
Adopt A Pet
Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is usually cheaper than buying from a breeder or pet store. Many pets end up in shelters because their owners were unprepared for the responsibilities of caring for them. Each year, hundreds of animals have to be euthanized in shelters because there are not enough homes available. Adopting helps reduce pet overpopulation and prevents animals from suffering or facing euthanasia.
Animal cruelty
This document discusses various types of animal cruelty. It begins by defining animal cruelty as neglect, abuse, combat, and hoarding that endangers animals. Common types of animal cruelty include neglect, hoarding, beating, torture, and animal fighting. Dogs, horses, livestock, alligators and seals are often victims of abuse. Reasons for cruelty include seeking power, control or shock value. The document outlines specific abuses such as neglect of chickens on factory farms, dog fighting, horse starvation, seal clubbing, and alligator wrestling. It concludes by suggesting ways to help such as reporting abuse and donating to animal welfare organizations.

SMG Toons Pound Puppies: Mission Adoption Marketing Report
Studio Movie Grill partnered with 12 animal rescues across 10 theater locations to host adoption events for Pound Puppies: Mission Adoption screenings in April 2013. Live puppies were available for adoption and donations were collected. Dog rescues distributed 30 DVD copies and SMG donated 600 movie passes to incentivize adoptions and donations totaling over $6,000 in value. Three puppies were adopted at the events, and high turnout led one location to add an extra adoption day. The screenings and partnerships helped local animal rescues in their mission to find homes for puppies in need.
About Animal Shelters
Animal shelters temporarily house neglected and abused animals until they can be returned to their owners or adopted by new owners. However, only about half of sheltered animals ever find homes, with the other half needing to be euthanized due to overcrowding. Shelters house various domesticated animals but are mainly populated by dogs and cats. The average shelter stay lasts five days as operators consider health and adoptability. Approximately 5,000 shelters in the US are run by either local governments or independent nonprofits, though there is no single oversight organization.
Animal Shelter Database Presentation
The document presents a proposed database system for managing operations at an animal shelter. It outlines business needs such as tracking animal care, adoptions, staffing, and donations. The system will classify entities and attributes, such as animal types and medical services. Procedural rules describe workflows for intake, adoption and donations. An entity-relationship diagram and sample reports are provided to demonstrate how the system meets the shelter's information management goals.

2.4 Spay and Neuter on a Budget - Dr Jeffrey Young
Dr. Jeffrey Young graduated from Colorado State University's veterinary school in 1989 and established Planned Pethood Plus, Inc. in 1990 to provide low-cost mobile spay/neuter services. He has sterilized over 165,000 animals and trained veterinarians worldwide in efficient surgical techniques. The document discusses minimizing costs for spay/neuter programs through good surgical skills, affordable equipment and supplies, and optimizing staff roles to maximize the number of procedures and impact on reducing pet overpopulation.
What is an animal shelter?
Prior to popular belief, an animal shelter is not a place you drop animals off whether stray or to be cremated, rather a true animal shelter is a building that shelters animals from the elements. In Central Oregon, animal shelters are very popular. Regardless if you believe the economy is in a recession or not, many people have been building their own chicken coops, animal shelters and pens for raising their own eggs, meat and produce. There are several types of animals shelters and this article gives you an idea as to what to look for if you’re in the market for an animal shelter.
The Importance Of Adoption
1) The document discusses the importance of adopting shelter dogs rather than buying new dogs from breeders. There are millions of dogs in shelters in need of homes, and some may be euthanized if not adopted.
2) Shelter dogs will appreciate new owners more because they have likely experienced neglect or abuse in the past. By adopting a shelter dog, owners can provide the love and second chance at a good life that these dogs deserve.
3) Adopting a shelter dog is beneficial for both the dog and the new owner. It saves the dog's life and allows owners to feel good about rescuing an animal in need.
Animal Abuse
Over 300,000 animals die from abuse each year, experiencing unnecessary pain and suffering. All animals deserve respect and compassion, as they help humans in many ways such as seeing-eye dogs. While abuse can be stopped if everyone works to help abused animals, spread awareness, and treat all creatures with kindness, animal abuse remains a widespread problem.
Animal Adoption
Dogs living in shelters are often kept in small cages with no room to play or receive attention and love. Hundreds of lost or stray dogs end up in shelters each day due to owners being unable to be located, unwanted litters from breeders, sudden changes in owners' situations, and impulse purchases. It costs taxpayers $2 billion annually to house and euthanize homeless animals, with over 50% of dogs and puppies in shelters being euthanized. Adopting a pet from a shelter can help address the overpopulation problem.
Animal Adoption Presentation
This document discusses the process of adopting a pet. It emphasizes considering your lifestyle and what type of pet is suitable for your situation. The general adoption process involves visiting local animal shelters to find a pet, filling out applications, and waiting for approval. If approved, adopters pay a small fee and prepare their home before bringing the new pet home. The goal is finding a good match between pet and owner to prevent neglect and ensure the animal has a loving home.
Bullying Powerpoint
1. There are different types of bullying including physical, verbal, indirect, social alienation, intimidation, and cyberbullying.
2. Bullying statistics show that it is a widespread problem, with over 75% of students experiencing harassment and 20% admitting to bullying others.
3. Warning signs of being bullied include coming home with damaged belongings, injuries, losing interest in activities, and feelings of helplessness or wanting revenge.
Animal Shelters
Shelter animals make great pets and should be adopted over buying from stores or breeders. The majority of animals in shelters are healthy and adoptable. Adopting provides animals with homes and saves lives, as many shelter animals would otherwise be euthanized. Shelter animals are often already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and receive health/behavior evaluations. They tend to be very friendly since they want human attention and companionship. Adopting is also more affordable than other options, helping both the animal and adopter's wallet.
