			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dogdaze.jpg" target="thickbox" rel="lightbox[3524]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dogdaze-300x221.jpg" alt="dogdaze 300x221 Paying it forward in Syracuse " title="Hardeko Helping Paws Pantry" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3526" width="300" height="221" /></a><strong>It is estimated by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_group" title="Rescue group" rel="wikipedia">rescue groups</a> that 10 million pets will be abandoned this year in the US.</strong> This number staggers and motivates Ruth Sturgis.</p>
<p>Sturgis and her husband, David own <strong>Dog Daze Healthy Pet Shop in North Syracuse</strong>. Now they also operate <strong>Hardeko Helping Paws Pantry, a charity that offers free food and medicine to pets of proud people who have fallen on hard times.</strong> It&#8217;s their goal to help people keep their pets rather then abandon or surrender them.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to give you the food, and we&#8217;re going to encourage you to <a target="_blank" class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward" title="Pay it forward" rel="wikipedia">pay it forward</a>,&#8221;</strong> Sturgis explains, either through volunteer work or making donations to the pantry once they are back on their feet.</p>
<p><strong>How can you help?</strong></p>
<p>Three ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Donate food, beds, crates, collars, any sort of pet care items to Hardeko; call 410-1278 for details.</li>
<li>If you know someone on the verge of giving up their pet for financial reasons, steer them to the pantry at 309 South Main St., North Syracuse.</li>
<li>If your volunteer fire department in Central New York lacks animal respirators, ask the department to notify Hardeko. The pantry will donate several respirators in the coming months.</li>
</ul>

I don&#8217;t want to turn the heat up in the house any more than it is because I am out of work; I am trying to keep my bills and expenses down as much as possible. </p>
<p>Looking through some messages on Facebook this morning, I found a post that includes three photos: homeless women and their dogs &#8212; photographer(s) unknown. I was immediately drawn to the photos. In these hard times, the scenario could easily be any one of us. It could easily be me and my &#8220;kids,&#8221; knock on wood. </p>
<p><strong>The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalhomeless.org/" target="_blank">National Coalition for the Homeless</a> estimates that 3.5 million people are homeless.</strong> Further, they estimate that between 5% to 10% have cats and/or dogs. This number is as high as 24% in some areas of the US. For many, homelessness is temporary until they can find housing or rent subsidy. But for the homeless with pets, the challenge is greater. Faced with choosing between their pet and a roof over their heads, they choose to stay on the streets with their pets for the emotional bond that exists between pet and owner. Their pets also provide warmth and protection. </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/womanDog-v2.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="lightbox[2867]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/womanDog-v2-270x300.jpg" alt="womanDog v2 270x300 Faces of the Homeless" title="womanDog-v2" width="203" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2877" /></a>Recognizing the needs, people are joining together to form organizations to help. <strong>Animal Care &#038; Control of New York City</strong> has a unique program called the <a href="http://www.nycacc.org/safetynet.htm" target="_blank">Safety Net Program</a> which helps owners keep their pets (including the homeless) in order to prevent them from going into shelters. Their assistance includes low-cost/sliding scale behavior training for cats and dogs, reduced cost boarding/foster homes during crises, free guidance for pet-related landlord/tenant issues, reduced cost vet care for those on restricted incomes and more.</p>
<p><strong>Through volunteer collection sites, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.petsofhomeless.org/">Feeding Pets of the Homeless</a> accepts donated pet food</strong> and delivers it to food banks and/or soup kitchens which have agreed to distribute the food to the homeless and impoverished in local communities across the US and Canada. They also accept cash donations for veterinarian care and to purchase pet food.<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/womanBlanket-v2.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="lightbox[2867]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/womanBlanket-v2-300x225.jpg" alt="womanBlanket v2 300x225 Faces of the Homeless" title="Homeless Woman on Blanket" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2876" /></a>Los Angeles has many homeless people that own one or more dogs. <strong>The ASAP &#8211; <a href="http://www.asapnokill.org/Dogs_of_Homeless_People.html">Association to Save Abandoned Pets</a> has been trying unsuccessfully to get the homeless to bring their dogs in to the local vet.</strong> The ASAP will provide transportation and cover all medical expenses plus give the homeless owner a $20 bonus. Perhaps the word is just not getting out to them.<strong> If you find a homeless person in the Los Angeles area who is willing take his/her dog to the vet at no expense, please let ASAP know. Call (310) 306-8166.</strong></p>
<p>Here are <a target="_blank" href="http://www.petsofhomeless.org/photo_gallery%20pg%201.htm" target=+_blank">a few more photos</a> of the homeless and their pets. Keep it in mind that this really could happen to any one of us. Consider making a donation in your neighborhood.</p>

<p>The Food Bank strives to be responsive to the needs of its agencies, donors and volunteers.We were established to provide a year-round source of food to these organizations. Today our outreach includes fourteen counties in the tri-state area.</p>
<p>Please join <a target="_blank" href="http://www.siouxlandpawprints.com/" target="_blank">Siouxland Paw Prints Rescue</a>, a nonprofit pet rescue organization dedicated to the health and welfare of companion animals in Siouxland, and the Food Bank of Siouxland for the first annual pet food drive from November 20, 2009 to December 20, 2009. There is a tremendous and immediate need for both cat and dog food in hundreds of homes throughout Siouxland.  Your donation will help keep furry family members healthy and in their warm, loving homes instead of being surrendered to area shelters. </p>
<p>Any size, dry or canned, cat or dog food can be dropped off at PetSmart, located at the Lakeport Commons, both Bomgaars locations, all Fareway stores, The Train Depot, the STARS Barn, Sioux City Physical Therapy, Hinton Community School, Woodbury Central School of Moville and the Moville Public Library, and Bed and Biscuit Doggy Daycare.</p>

<p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=10315754" target="_blank">Homeless Shelter Offering Food For Pets</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;A Davenport ministry is now providing food for pets as well as for people. King&#8217;s Harvest serves meals to the poor and homeless several times a week, and starting Friday, it will also hand out pet food to those in need.</p>
<p>&#8220;The shelter says they have had a lot of requests for &#8220;doggie bags&#8221; recently, and that literally means take-away containers for dogs. Volunteers also say Quad City animal shelters are full and they hope to keep more animals from being abandoned.</p>
<p>&#8220;One client at King&#8217;s Harvest says hard times are also hard on pets. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people displaced at the moment and have pets in their vehicles along with their children and themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Director Terri Gleize says people in a tough spot shouldn&#8217;t have to make such difficult decisions. &#8220;I know they are going through really hard times and no one wants to give up something they love even in hard times.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;King&#8217;s Harvest clients can come get pet food once a month. The first shipment of food is being donated by Purina. Donations from the community are also being accepted at King&#8217;s Harvest on West 3rd Street in Davenport.&#8221;</p>
<p>Update &#8212; <a target="_blank" href="http://www.qctimes.com/article_a4c66818-b6dc-11de-810d-001cc4c03286.html" target="_blank">Quad Cities Times October 11, 2009</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Terri Gleize, the director of King&#8217;s Harvest, never thought the mission of the ministry that aids impoverished people in the Quad-Cities would expand to helping homeless people with pets.</p>
<p>&#8220;But she noticed the need for such a program when several people with pets in tow came to an overflow homeless shelter that King&#8217;s Harvest operated this past winter.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;I&#8217;ve always been a big animal person, so my heart goes out for people,&#8221; Gleize said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want anyone to lose their pet if they&#8217;re going through a hard time. It would be horrible to lose something that you really love.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;King&#8217;s Harvest has a few foster homes available to provide temporary housing for pets, but it is looking for more. The ministry also provides dog and cat food to people who visit its food bank, and it operates a rescue center for cats.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing a whole different crowd of people coming in,&#8221; Gleize said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a whole lot of people maybe in their late 20s with kids who have lost their house and are moving into apartments that won&#8217;t take pets.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;King&#8217;s Harvest is out of dog food at present and in need of donations of 15- to 20-pound bags. Canned cat food also is in high demand. Donations can be dropped off from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and 9-10 a.m. on Saturdays at 824 W. 3rd St., Davenport. Monetary donations can be sent to 5837 Wisconsin Ave., Davenport, IA 52806.&#8221;</li>

<p>&#8220;A group of metro-area pet lovers has teamed up to create a food pantry for animals in need.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pet Project Midwest, based in Clive, has a food and supply drive under way through the remainder of the year. Anyone who drops off pet food or items such as leashes, pet beds, toys or other necessities at Boesen the Florist, 3422 Beaver Ave., will receive a long-stemmed rose. Items, including basic medicines, are donated to families in need. The goal is to reduce the number of animals surrendered to shelters. </p>
<p>For details on donating, call (877) 570-7387 or e-mail info@thepetprojectmidwest.org.</p>
<p>A loved pet should never lose his or her home just because money is tight. This program provides pet food and supplies to families experiencing financial difficulties, thereby reducing the number of animals surrendered to shelters.</li>

Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) has introduced H.R. 3501 -- the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (HAPPY) Act -- which would amend the federal tax code to allow a person to deduct up to $3,500 per year for pet care, including veterinary expenses.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-markarian" target="_blank">Michael Markarian</a>  EVP/COO, Humane Society of the United States</em></p>
<p>I wrote last year about California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="http://hslf.typepad.com/political_animal/2008/11/veterinary-tax.html">misguided plan</a> to add a sales tax to veterinary services as part of a larger set of proposals to deal with the state&#8217;s multi-billion dollar budget shortfall. Thanks to the work of HSUS, the California Veterinary Medical Association, and state legislators, the governor&#8217;s idea was terminated, and California pet owners weren&#8217;t forced into an even more difficult situation where tough choices had to be made about cutting care for their animal companions.</p>
<p> <a target="_blank" href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/blogDog1.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="lightbox[2658]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/blogDog1-228x300.jpg" alt="HAPPY for dogs would amend the federal tax code to allow a person to deduct up to $3,500 per year for pet care, including veterinary expenses." title="HAPPY for dogs would amend the federal tax code to allow a person to deduct up to $3,500 per year for pet care, including veterinary expenses." class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2660" height="300" width="228" /></a>What&#8217;s an even more hopeful sign of the times, however, is that federal lawmakers, led by <a href="http://mccotter.house.gov/HoR/MI11/Home/" target="_blank">Rep. Thaddeus McCotter</a> (R-Mich.), are taking a much more foresighted approach by working to give pet owners a break during this economic downturn. <strong>McCotter has introduced <a target="_blank" href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h.r.03501:" target="_blank">H.R. 3501</a> &#8212; the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (HAPPY) Act &#8212; which would amend the federal tax code to allow a person to deduct up to $3,500 per year for pet care, including veterinary expenses.</strong> (The deduction applies only to household companion animals, not animals in laboratories, farms, or other businesses.)</p>
<p><strong>McCotter has been a strong supporter of animal protection, and has advanced issues that promote the safety of both people and animals</strong>, such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hsus.org/press_and_publications/press_releases/the_humane_society_of_the_7.html" target="_blank&quot;">dog bite prevention</a>. We&#8217;re grateful for his leadership in <a target="_blank" href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/features/mutts/blog/2009/08/politician_proposes_tax_deduct.html" target="_blank">this new effort</a> to help struggling families make ends meet &#8212; recognizing that pets are part of the family, too.</p>
<p><strong>During a stressful economic period, McCotter&#8217;s bill is as much a human health issue as an animal health issue.</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/how_pets_help_people/" target="_blank">Pets are good for us</a> emotionally and physically, and studies show that having a pet can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. If you&#8217;ve lost your job or are having trouble paying the mortgage or rent, caring for a companion animal provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment and lessens feelings of loneliness and depression.</p>
<p><strong>The legislation could be a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.examiner.com/x-17471-DC-Cats-Examiner%7Ey2009m8d7-Congress-considers-tax-relief-for-pet-owners" target="_blank">critical safety net</a> to prevent struggling pet owners who can no longer afford to care for their animal companions from relinquishing them at <a target="_blank" class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_shelter" title="Animal shelter" rel="wikipedia">animal shelters</a></strong> &#8212; which not only tears families apart but also places a financial burden on local municipalities and private shelters for the costs of housing pets and, tragically, euthanizing them. And by encouraging affordable pet care, the bill not only promotes animal health and well-being, but also could help to stimulate the economy by driving more business to veterinarians, animal hospitals, and pet care providers.</p>
<p>Pet care, in fact, can be big business. <strong>More American households can claim pets than children as dependents.</strong> Since 1998, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.americanpetproducts.org/press_industrytrends.asp" target="_blank">pet ownership has increased</a> from 56% of households to 62%&#8211;an estimated 71.4 million homes enjoy pet companionship. And to care for these animals in our lives, we collectively spend more than $40 billion &#8212; on food, veterinary care, and other supplies and services &#8212; every year.</p>
<p>Moreover, pet ownership is not just for the wealthy &#8212; 58% of households earning incomes of $55,000 or less per year own pets. While pet ownership does increase with income, a recent American Veterinary Medical Association survey revealed that pets are most likely to be a part of families with children led by full-time workers owning their homes. And the largest growth rate in pet ownership is among retired older couples.</p>
<p>You can follow the progress of this Act on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3501/show">this website</a>.</p>
<p>Pet food and regular veterinary care are necessities, not luxuries, for the companion animals in our lives, and we can&#8217;t skimp on these costs without jeopardizing the health and safety of our pets. If McCotter&#8217;s bill is passed into law, it will provide a helping hand to all of us, human and animal alike.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guardian Angels for Soldier&#8217;s Pet, an ALL volunteer 501c3 nonprofit public charity formed in January 2005 after learning that military service members across the country had pets that needed a caring, loving, and safe home to care for them during the pet owner&#8217;s deployment to fight the global war on terrorism (combat or peace keeping missions), but had been unable to find someone to care for them.  This left the military pet owners with only one option, which was to relinquish their beloved pets and pet ownership rights to a humane society, animal shelter, or animal rescue group never to see their pets again, know if they were placed in a new home, or ended up being euthanized.</p>

<p><strong>Since last September, Grey Muzzle has made 19 grants for senior dog programs in 12 states.</strong> Three of the most recent grants fund community programs in Virginia and North Carolina that provide food and medical services for older dogs whose owners have been impacted by the economic downturn. The organization hopes to raise additional money to expand these grants to more states by the end of the year.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I first learned of the extraordinary work of Grey Muzzle, I wanted to offer my support,&#8221; said Creel. &#8220;<strong>My book is about the love, strength, and determination of older dogs as they age with us and our families.</strong> Through the sale of my book via Grey Muzzle, 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Grey Muzzle&#8217;s efforts to save older dogs from being turned over to shelters or abandoned in these challenging economic times.&#8221;  <span id="more-2328"></span></p>
<p>Julie Nowicki, president of The Grey Muzzle Organization, explains, &#8220;<strong>One of our most important goals this year is to help low-income owners, especially our senior citizens, keep their old dogs despite financial instability by assisting them with veterinary care, food and supplies for their much-loved senior dogs.</strong> Research shows that pets enrich our quality of life, physically and emotionally. For example, old dogs make calm, affectionate companions for the elderly, while they keep each other active and engaged. Unfortunately, almost all of the animal shelters and rescue organizations that we work with have seen a big increase in the number of senior dogs turned in since last fall.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the owner, nurse, chef, and chauffer of a 14-year-old yellow Lab named Chester, Creel developed a particular affection and respect for old dogs. Knowing that Chester&#8217;s remaining days were limited he began writing about him. As he shared Chester&#8217;s story with others, people responded with incredible tales of struggles and triumphs of their own dogs. After interviewing scores of old dogs, Creel chose eight (in addition to Chester) to include in his book of poems, photography and sketches, Do Old Dogs Dream?</p>
<p><a href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/n65870360559_2533408_2620.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="lightbox[2328]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/n65870360559_2533408_2620-299x300.jpg" alt="Do Old Dogs Dream?" title="Do Old Dogs Dream?" width="299" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2333" /></a><strong>All nine dogs featured in the book were dearly loved</strong> but, unfortunately, that is not the case with so many senior dogs. That&#8217;s why Creel is giving all profits from the sale of his book to the rescue and care of old dogs. It is his hope that they, too, will not only dream of a life of comfort and love, but actually live such a life in their golden years.</p>
<p>Nowicki responds, <strong>&#8220;This book is such a beautiful tribute to the value of old dogs, and the bond they share with people.</strong> We&#8217;re very grateful that Mr. Creel has chosen to use the proceeds of his book to support old dogs and their owners, who would otherwise be separated at the time when they need each other most.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am honored that the book has been endorsed by the national associations of the Humane Society of United States and ASPCA,&#8221; states Creel. &#8220;Working together with The Grey Muzzle Organization, we can help raise awareness of the great qualities the older dog offers as a devoted, wise, and loyal companion. It is certainly my dream that senior dogs stay with the families who have loved and cherished them throughout their lives.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do Old Dogs Dream?</strong> is available at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.greymuzzle.org">www.greymuzzle.org</a> for $19.95. All book sale proceeds support Grey Muzzle&#8217;s grants to keep senior dogs with their owners.</p>

<p><a href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC02891.JPG" class="thickbox" rel="lightbox[2284]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC02891-300x225.jpg" alt="EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE by Debbie Eades" title="EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE by Debbie Eades" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2296" /></a><strong>Though the rescue of dogs and cats and their journey to a new life is the hard work of dedicated people from all over the world</strong> &#8212; yes, rescues even cross the oceans and seas of our planet earth to reach their forever homes &#8212; it is not without a tale worthy of telling. Incredibly pets speak volumes without saying a single word. It&#8217;s all body language and facial expressions. Perhaps that is why I love silent movies so much &#8212; they remind me of pet-speak.</p>
<p><strong>A couple months ago, I shared with you <a target="_blank" href="http://beingstray.com/dogs/canine-underground-railroad-is-traveling-a-road-near-you/">the hilarious story</a></strong> of one &#8220;leg&#8221; on the journey three spaniels took aboard the canine rescue railroad as told by the driver, <a href="http://coveredincathair.com/">Robin Olson</a>. She is typically a cat person, so her foray into the world of dogs had me laughing out loud to the point of tears. Even on the third reading of her story. How well I recognize the &#8220;death fart&#8221; and &#8220;the stench of pepperoni dog barf.&#8221; Imagine how it must have seemed to a cat person stuck inside the confines of a small car driving down the road.</p>
<p><a href="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Book_cover_2_436x600.jpg" rel="lightbox[2284]"><img src="http://beingstray.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Book_cover_2_436x600-218x300.jpg" alt="EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE" title="EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE" width="218" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2298" /></a><strong>Recently, another author, Debbie Eades, commented on a post I wrote</strong> about <a href="http://beingstray.com/misc/did-you-know/">the underground railroad for cats and dogs</a>.  For seven years, Debbie and her husband have been driving rescues from kill shelters to rescue groups and forever homes in the Cincinnati area. In that time, Debbie has accumulated hundreds of tales and photos of the journey for these rescued animals.  <span id="more-2284"></span></p>
<p><strong>From these tales has come a book: &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="http://everyrescueddog.homestead.com/index.html">Every Rescued Dog Has a Tale: Stories from the Dog Rescue Railroad</a>.&#8221;</strong> <a href="javascript:;" class="hackadelic-sliderButton"onclick="toggleSlider('#hackadelic-sliderPanel-53')" title="click to expand/collapse slider In her words:   ">In her words:   &raquo;</a> <span class="hackadelic-sliderPanel concealed" id="hackadelic-sliderPanel-53"></span></p>
<p><strong>Profits from the sale of the book go directly to help rural animal shelters and dog rescues around the country so that more dogs will have a happy ending.</strong> It is her hope that more people will be inspired to become a volunteer and save more lives. There is a great amount of satisfaction received from helping these animals in need.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few of the dogs Debbie and her husband have journeyed with over the years.</strong> You can click on any of the photos to read a caption about the dog(s). </p>

<em><strong>EVERY RESCUED DOG HAS A TALE</strong> is the story of homeless dogs fated to die on death row in animal shelters around the country that were saved by being transported by volunteers to other states. Each chapter is the story of one dog from his hapless beginning to his happy ending, complete with photos. Some stories are heart wrenching while others are full of humor. They all teach a lesson of how one person can make a difference in the lives of homeless animals. All it takes is a weekend drive and some free time.</p>
<p>In this book, you will meet <strong>Oreo, a pit bull puppy who was being used as bait in a dog fighting ring</strong> in New Jersey before being rescued and adopted by a family in Kentucky. You will also read the story of the <strong>Chocolate Chip puppies who were found abandoned in the woods</strong> in Tennessee after being tortured and beaten and left for dead by some future serial killer. They are taken to a vet and recover fully. Finally they take a Christmas weekend trip to Canada where they all get adopted by loving families. You will meet <strong>Sasha, a beautiful black Great Dane who is abandoned and tied to a doghouse in the dead of winter</strong>, with no food until her owner calls Great Dane Rescue and tells them to &#8220;come and get her&#8221;. Underweight and suffering with heartworms, she is saved by the rescue and recovers from her illness. She still waits for a happy forever home in Ohio now that she is well again. [Update: Sasha has been adopted!]</p>
<p><strong>The book contains 17 individual chapters, each profiling a rescued dog</strong>, with an additional 15 pages of black and white photos of many other dogs on their way to a happy ending. These stories will touch you and will hopefully entice you to become a transporter yourself after reading how easy it is to help.</em></p>
