Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions 21. How much does it cost to quarantine my animal? Generally, quarantine is done on the owners property, which would require a one-time fee of $20.00. However, if the animal lives in the County and is quarantined at the Shelter, there is a $20 impound fee plus $10 per dog to pick up and $12 per day for holding. If the animal lives in the City, there is a $20 impound fee plus $10 per dog to pick up and $5 per day for holding. 22. How long do you keep the animals before you euthanize them? We would like to keep the animals until they are all adopted; however, due to space, we can only keep them so long. An animal being turned in to the Shelter without identification is kept for a minimum of 5 days. An animal turned in that has identification (a collar, microchip, tattoo, license, etc..) is kept for a minimum of 10 days. An animal turned in by an owner will be held at the discretion of shelter staff. 23. Why do we have to spay or neuter an animal before it can be adopted? All animals that are adopted from the City/County of Riverside Animal Services must be spayed or neutered before they go home in order to comply with California law. On a more personal note, consider these facts: a. A spayed or neutered animal has a more friendly, mellow temperament. b. An unsprayed or unneutered cat will roam an area of 10 miles, while a spayed or neutered cat will only roam about 2 square blocks. c. By spaying and neutering your animals, youre preventing them from contributing to the pet over-population problem which will cut down on the number of animals that come into the shelter, giving the ones that are here more of a chance at being adopted.

Extractions: 513-797-PETS ORPHANED WILDLIFE Orphans . Every spring our clients find a variety of wildlife orphans, and call for information. First of all .Is it REALLY an orphan? Parents often leave their young for long periods of time. If you are sure that this baby is orphaned, then you should know that most very young mammals cannot maintain their own body temperature. They should be placed on a heating pad that has been wrapped in a towel, and set on low. Hypothermia and death can result without proper warmth. The next thing you must know is that in Ohio it is illegal to keep wildlife as pets, and you should contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. In our area, that is Second Chance Wildlife. 875-3433. Contact them, or our office immediately. We work closely with Second Chance and can help. In many cases these animals need special foods which are not readily available to the general public. Never give cows milk to wildlife. They cannot digest it. Here are some guidelines on various species Birds

Extractions: Ok, you all know about the normal hazards like a fast moving vehicle, the business end of a gun, drowning, heat exhaustion and other obvious dangers. Most people are ignorant of the dangers that are always present and could kill or cripple their dogs. As typical of the American news system, sometimes networks will air stories of weird cases of death but most likely you will never hear of the dog that died from a household incident/accident. Hazards Kitchen Bathroom Around the house Cars/Trucks ... Dips and collars Kitchen : So, what could be so dangerous about the kitchen. After all you or your spouse may use it everyday and you still have all your appendages and your sanity. Well let's talk about bones. Some bones are really dangerous (rabbit, chicken - they splinter) and so is the small rope or string that's sometimes used to truss up the meat. Splintered bones can wreak havoc on the digestive system and cause internal bleeding and the twine, rope or strings used in packing the meat can cause blockage of the intestines. Don't leave knives close to the edge of counters or tables since your dog (especially the large CO) may brush it off with their tail and possible injury your or themselves. Watch out for the same tails knocking pots off the stove - turn the handles inward and don't let them hang over the side of the stove.

Extractions: There is no successful flea control program that does not involve treating the environment. Attempting to control flea numbers on our dogs and cats is a multistep process. Adult fleas spend most of their time on an animal, but the flea eggs, larvae, and pupae are found in abundance in the environment in carpeting, rugs, bedding, and grass. To have a successful flea control program we must: Flea control is complicated by the fact that there are many wild animals which serve as reservoirs for flea populations. Cat fleas can infest over 50 species of animals worldwide. In the United States, coyotes, fox, raccoons, some rodents, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and ferrets can all harbor cat fleas. Flea control is also hampered by the evidence that some fleas are developing resistance to some of our flea control products, especially organophosphates.

Extractions: Up to 30 years There are actually three regional subspecies of red-eared slider in North America. One subspecies is called the red-eared slider. They get their name from the broad reddish or orange stripe behind each eye, though some red-eared sliders do not have this stripe. Young hatchlings have a green carapace (upper part of their shell) and skin with yellow green to dark green markings and stripes. Carapace color in adults fades to a muted olive green color. Some older individuals (especially males) become very dark, appearing almost black with few visible markings. The carapace is oval and flattened with a weak center ridge (keel). The plastron (the underpart of the shell that covers the belly) is yellow with dark markings in the center of each scute (part of the plastron).
