In the Humane Society (in my state overall), the number of dogs that need homes fall and rise VERY fast.
One day, for example, had 64ish dogs, next day, there was 84.
After 2 days, the number was at 72. Then 3 days later, 66.
Do dogs really get adopted that fast?
or
what kind of dogs are usually euthanized?
There was this GORGEOUS tri pomeranian, it was there for a day, then it was gone on the website.
He was 8 years old though.

Answer by NikkiM
They usually euthanize dogs with illnesses that they cant afford to care for, or dogs that just aren’t being adopted.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) November 19, 2011

With so many people being forced into foreclosure in the current economic crisis, a Florida entrepreneur is helping displaced pets find great homes. Shelters and rescues are at maximum capacity, and Pet Pros Services innovative “pet adoptions agency” is helping match financially challenged pet owners with loving families looking to adopt a dog or cat.

According to pet expert, Deborah Moore, of Dogs and Puppies Central, “Pet Pros Services is one of the most innovative pet adoptions services we’ve seen. Nothing is more heartbreaking than being forced to give up a beloved pet. Knowing where and with whom your dog or cat is being placed, having a role in the approval process, and having the opportunity to keep in touch with your pet can provide great peace of mind.”

Pet Pros Services takes an innovative approach to the pet adoptions process. Their staff consists of trainers, pet health professionals and other pet experts who meet with owners to learn as much as possible about each pet being placed with their service. This cutting edge approach allows them to match each pet with the right family – greatly improving the success rate of each adoption. With adoption fees starting at just $ 100, this is an affordable service that even financially strapped pet owners can take advantage of.

Pet Pros’ owner, Garvin Mark has a knack for finding homes for pets whose owners can no longer keep them. The experienced 40-year-old Orlando businessman and University of Michigan MBA grad founded Pet Pros Service 2 years ago.

“My clients want to know what kind of home their pets are going to, what kind of people they will be living with. They want to be able to stay in touch with their pets through photos and e-mails,” says Mark. “Our service provides that sense of comfort. These are not strays. They are loved members of a family that simply can’t keep them anymore.”

And Mark seems to be “right on the mark” when it comes to this philosophy. Pet owners are flocking to his innovative pet adoptions service, both to find homes for their pets, and to be matched with “pre-loved” pets for their families.

Pet Pros Services boasts an impressive adoption success rate; 95% of pets placed with them find homes within 7 days. Just ask Chris and Vicki Smith, a Seattle couple who found themselves unable to keep their dog. Mark found a loving home for their 8 year old Pitbull, Harel in just 3 days.

“I don’t think we could have found such a wonderful family on our own,” states the couple.

“The new owners have told me that Harel turned into the best dog anyone could ever want, so loving, so playful. Pet Pros truly did a remarkable job and we are truly grateful we found such a great service. Harel has a family that loves and has time for him.”

Pet owners today are much more attached to their cats and dogs. Pets are like children to many, and having no choice but to give up a family companion is one of the great tragedies of the current economic climate. Pet Pros adoption services offers an attractive alternative to shelters and rescues which many pet owners are embracing.

Pet Pros offers nation-wide pet adoptions and re-homing, pet finder service, home dog and cat boarding, pet home cleaning, dog walking services, pet transportation, taxi and more. Pet Pros is based in Orlando, Florida.

I went to a friends house with my 1yr old pit bull dog. I had mention to him that I wanted to neuter him to make him more mellow. He recommended I didn’t do that because it would just make him more aggressive because of his nature. To me it didn’t make sense but he really confused me. He suggested I don’t do it, so what gives? Hes no vet but he breeds them so I don’t know!

Answer by Snickers
Your friend is an idiot. He breeds pitbulls, so I’m sure he does not neuter. He appears to be a BYB

Currently my dog is in heat season. There was a stray dog that jumped into my house compound to drink my dog’s water and the male is making my dog more “heatier” and nervous. What should I do to avoid this problem? I do not want her to get pregnant. Help…….

Answer by Lola
Get her spayed. If you cannot afford it, check your local shelters – many of them will do discounted or free spays and neuters if you provide proof of income.

I just got a a 3 month old Bichon frise puppy and the vet put a lot of pressure on me to neuter him so I had her do it but now I am reading that it is really bad to neuter a puppy this early. Has anyone had any experience with neutering a small breed puppy this early? Thank you.

Answer by Corine Nguyen
No it’s actually good. You should always wait a month or 2 before neutering or spading a dog.

I need help! I adopted a stray female a few months ago and I need to find one of those places that neuter cats for free or at least cheap. I don’t make that much money. I have enough to feed and take care of the cat, but not enough for a $ 500 or more operation. If anyone could give me any information, it would be helpful. I live in Cincinnati, OH.

Best answer:

Answer by Elaine M
Spaying never costs $ 500, it’s usually a $ 140 operation–you can phone any vet in your area to ask their prices, plus ask if they know where low cost spaying is offered.

I’d also phone the animal shelter and ask the same thing, as well as googling ‘feline rescue’ and your city and state, and emailing the ones in your area about low cost options. You’ll cover the whole spectrum this way and know for sure what the costs are in your area. Since Cincinnati is pretty big, they’ll likely have special services for people on budgets, Chicago has a vet clinic that does low cost spays for $ 15 per cat but they fill up fast and it’s only a few days of the month that it’s offered.

Just come back from hols in Sicily and theres a stray dog there that id like to bring back but where do i start

Best answer:

Answer by Lorraine
You don’t say where you are so I presume the US.

If by any chance you are UK then you need to look on the DEFRA site. The whole thing would be very expensive as it would need its pet passport to come into the country and that takes at least 6 months from beginning to end.

So I guess to start with you have to look at the restrictions in place for the country you want to take the dog into.
