| A NOTE OF THANKS |
March 7, 2003
Thanks
to a wonderful organization, S.A.V.E. Animal Rescue Group, we may have found a
potential home for the abandoned puppy!
I want to thank each and every one of you for
your efforts in trying to help find someone to adopt "Daisy" (yeah, we named
her!) A special thanks to Ann S. who put me in touch with a friend who was
familiar with this great organization that is based in Whitestone, Queens. I
spoke to a representative, told her about the puppy, and she made arrangements
for me to bring her to the vet in Whitestone, where she will have a check-up
and then be matched with a loving family.
If anyone is interested in donating time or
money to this group, you can check out their website: www.saveanimalrescue.org
to get more info. I left a small donation at the vet's office tonight when I
dropped off the puppy and it would be great if others could do the same, as
they are a legit organization that provides a wonderful and much-needed
service. Again, many thanks to everyone who helped!
Much love,
Diane |

Patrice:
I just
wanted to thank you for all of your hard work with Sammy. He is now adopted (as
of 3/1) into a wonderful home upstate in Maywood with a lovely couple. I met
with them yesterday with Sharon at Whitestone Animal Hospital and there was
just something about them that I knew clicked. He loved them and they loved
him. Seems like it was a match made in heaven. Both you and Sharon handled
everything with such care and dedication to him and that's without even meeting
him. I cannot thank you both enough.
I wish there were more people like both of
you in the world for these "silent animal voices."
Again, thanks for all of your hard work with
Sammy and with all of the other animals who are lucky to have you two on their
sides.
Regards
Ronnie |

| HOT TIP FOR COLD WEATHER: ANTIFREEZE IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR PET'S
HEALTH |
Alert from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center
(APCC)
As much of the
country begins to settle in for a long winter's nap, the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center (APCC) urges pet owners to step up precautions against the
dangers that your furred friends may face outdoors. Antifreeze, for example,
can be fatal to dogs and cats if ingested–even in very tiny doses. As
little as one teaspoon of ethylene glycol antifreeze can be deadly to a cat;
less than four teaspoons can be dangerous to a 10-pound dog. Note our poison
prevention tips to keep your pets safe this season:
- Clean
up any spills from your vehicle immediately.
- Regularly check your car for leaks.
- Store
antifreeze in clearly marked containers in areas that are off-limits to your
pets. Never allow your animal companions access to the area when you are
draining radiator fluid from your car.
- Consider switching to a propylene glycol-based antifreeze, which is
significantly less toxic than conventional ethylene glycol
antifreeze.
This will provide an added margin of safety for pets and wildlife, but
remember–no antifreeze is absolutely safe. If you suspect that your pet
has ingested antifreeze–or any poisonous substance–call your
veterinarian or the APCC's emergency hotline at (888) 4-ANI-HELP for
round-the-clock telephone assistance. For more information on poison
prevention, visit APCC online. |
