Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association  Rt. 46 Ledgewood, NJ 07852 Our family at Noah’s Ark wishes you and your family a healthy, happy and wonderful 2003!    Everyone talks about making resolutions, diets, cut spending, do a good deed well here is your chance to make a difference in someone’s life!  We have some wonderful and friendly cats who are just waiting to share a lap with you! A lot of folks want kittens and puppies, which is fine, but they grow up to be adults- so why not do things a little different and get an adult cat or dog? We have a six year old cat who is by far the most personable, friendly and loving cat in the shelter. His name is Smokey. We also have a playful lad who loves to snuggle and still acts like he is a year old- but in reality he is 6 also- his name is Bailey. And for those that prefer the younger ones, we have a handful of 6 month to 1 year olds who are still full of kitten There are so many wonderful cats here, if you fulfill just one resolution, make it the one about making a difference, it will make you feel so good inside! And just think about the smile you will bring to your new cat or dog when you bring them home and show them their new house!

Purpose Alliance Of Responsible Pet Owners Of Northeast Florida THE REASONABLE VOICE REGARDING ANIMAL ISSUES It has became apparent to us that there is a dire need for a new proactive organization to analyze area animal related problems and develop programs to prevent or solve them instead of only accepting unwanted animals in shelters. We have organized as an all volunteer organization calling ourselves the Alliance of Responsible Pet Owners Of Northeast Florida.(ARPONEF) Our mission is to be the leading provider of information and assistance concerning animal welfare and related public health issues, taking whatever steps necessary to preserve our historic relationship with animals. Our purpose is to make a lasting contribution to the quality of life for animals and people with respect to animals being a public health and safety issue. Animal bites, rabies, and other zoonotic diseases threaten the safety of everyone when animals aren't properly maintained and enclosed. Our membership is comprised of many concerned pet owners, pet clubs, pet fanciers, pet rescuers, veterinarians, pet groomers and boarding kennels, dog behaviorists and trainers and others in the pet industry who offer our animal expertise to the community as a public service. We will strive to change the "attitudes" of pet owners - addressing animal problems with a positive message, education, and assistance. Responsibly caring for animals involves educating their owners and instilling realistic expectations of companion animal behavior and of the commitments involved in pet ownership.

13. Breed Specific Legislation select a link Tail docking of specific breeds is based upon to address the core issuesrelating to animal welfare. http://www.ankc.aust.com/tail docking.htm

Please select a link: Conference Summary Breed Standards Breeds (by group) Committees National Registration Statistics National Events Code of Ethics Policy Statements Judges List Regulations Visiting Overseas Judges Press Releases Hall of Fame Contact Details AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KENNEL COUNCIL TAIL DOCKING PRESS RELEASE The Australian National Kennel Council [ANKC] totally opposes any move to ban the tail docking of some breeds of purebred dogs. Opponents of tail docking now claim that it is performed for cosmetic reasons because their previous claims such as 'cruelty' cannot be substantiated and fail in logic. The ANKC rejects the claim that tail docking is carried out for cosmetic reasons. Tail docking is a long established animal management practice based upon injury prevention and health enhancement. In the United Kingdom 64 practising and experienced veterinarians have publicly opposed any move to ban tail docking and a further 37 have committed to the opposition. They have done so due to their belief that docking does serve a useful purpose, that their experience has shown docked puppies experience no adverse effects, and that the opposition to docking is not based on science and considered reason.

Dog fanciers should attend. JUNE 19TH UPDATE: Rep. Terry Spence, Speaker of the House and sponsor of HB571, announced late yesterday that he will amend the bill to remove all breed-specific references. He will introduce today an amended version that does not include the blanket label of dangerous for pit bulls, Rottweilers, wolf-hybrids, and other breeds. The Speaker would like to see the bill come to a House vote Thursday (tomorrow, June 20th) or next week. In addition, Speaker Spence plans to introduce a resolution that will create a study group on the issue of dangerous dogs in Delaware. The study group will hold public hearings. Delaware dog club members have already expressed interest in participating in that study group. The AKC and Delaware dog clubs will continue to closely monitor this issue. Interested dog owners in this state should remain vigilant to insure that effective, enforceable dangerous dog legislation is approved that will not unfairly penalize owners of certain breeds. AKC thanks Delaware dog owners for their quick attention to this issue! June 17, 2002

Support Rescue and this site with Book Orders The Animal Welfare Act of 1966 LEG UPDATE: LA Breed Specific Threat May 2, 2000 (Last update 4/26/00) LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Following the Los Angeles City Council's passage in March of the ordinance to increase the costs for the unaltered dog license and breeder permit to $100, other related issues have appeared on Council agendas and the Animal Regulation Commission remains a window on animal control activity and sentiment. Reports on the April 24 Commission meeting were published online and are cause for further concern. The meeting, held at the Madrid Theater in Canoga Park, was part of the Commission's outreach plan, which sets one meeting each quarter in one of the six areas serviced by the department and was attended by approximately 50 Valley residents and at least a half-dozen department employees. ValleyPet reports Department of Animal Regulation General Manager Dan Knapp's new stated policy to increase euthanasia of dogs from South Central and North Central Shelters and move a temporary mobile shelter from East Valley to South Central to create additional holding space at South Central to minimize danger to employees and dogs from dog fights resulting from crowded conditions. As we have written before, Californians have enjoyed a decade of freedom from the breed specific laws as a result of the courageous efforts of our board member, Judith A. Brecka and others in successful trial court litigation that provided the leverage to achieve in the state dangerous dog law and a prohibition on any breed specific programs in the state. This provision is now contained in California Food And Agricultural Code Section 31683. "Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent a city or county from adopting or enforcing its own program for the control of potentially dangerous or vicious dogs that may incorporate all, part, or none of this chapter, or that may punish a violation of this chapter as a misdemeanor or may impose a more restrictive program to control potentially dangerous or vicious dogs, provided that no program shall regulate these dogs in a manner that is specific as to breed."
