Pets and July 4th
Many of you already know this, but for
those of you who don't... More dogs are
lost on July 4th than any other day of
the year. The fireworks can be terrifying
for them, and dogs have been known to
jump over 10 foot fences or go right
through locked windows or doors in their
panic. They wind up lost, in shelters,
or hit by cars. One dog was impaled on
a fence last year!
Keep dogs and cats indoors. Even if your cats are an indoor/outdoor cats
please them securely inside.
If you are taking your dog with you on July 4th, to a picnic or friend's
house or whatever, keep that dog secured at all times. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS
TO WATCH FIREWORKS. THEY WILL NOT ENJOY IT. Last year 3 dogs I know of got
out while visiting in friend's yards. The dogs were in strange neighborhoods
and couldn't find their way back since they didn't live there. Keep 2 secure
collars and 2 leashes on the dog. A terrified dog can bolt with the strength
of Hercules. Make sure the dog's ID is current and intact. If the dog is
not microchipped, you still have time to do it. And if God forbid the dog
gets out, make sure you have a current picture available so you can do flyers
and Internet notices immediately.
If you are going out and leaving the dog home, leave on the radio with classical/soothing
music loud enough to help drown out the noise, make sure all windows are
closed and pull the blinds to help block out some of the noise. If you can
crate the dog, do so. Do not leave the dog with access to the yard! Make
sure he/she is in the house and all windows are closed. I myself give my
dogs a mild sedative as well. And even if you are home, keep a close watch
on your animals. - Stephanie

Lost Dog - Valley Village area
Nala is a female Jindo mix (shepherd
mix) tan and wht. She is very sweet and
friendly with dogs and people, but may
be timid. Please ask anyone you know
in that area to keep an eye out for her.
She ran out the door last night and they
still have not found her. Her tag fell
off, so she does not have one on. She
has a brown leather collar on and is
microchipped. Please if anyone hears
anything or spots her contact Shaun @
818 731 5158 or you can email me back
at Gowiththeflobeau@yahoo.com She may
go to the dog park in her area because
it's her favorite place to be. They will
put up flyers tonight and I will be checking
out the shelters. I thank everyone in
advance for any help we can get. - posted

Trained, loving Doggie needs a
great home - Millie is a wonderful dog who
was thrown from a car in Inglewood. I went
to her and despite being totally scared,
she came straight towards me, tail wagging
and hopped right in my car. Since then she
has been living with trainers and is totally
obedient. She is about 2 years old. and a
beautiful brindle color. She is loving and
sweet and very active. She has all her shots
and is spayed. The one strike against her
is that she is 1/2 American Stafforshire.
The trainers who trained her insist she is
a very special dog and would make a wonderful
pet. She has been without a home of her own
for way too long. Please help Millie!!! If
you or anyone you know would like to give
her a loving home, please let me know ASAP.
