CTB...Just for Kids

2012-01-25T04:56:00.000-08:00

In the United Staes, children under the age of 12 statistically experience their first loss with the death of the family companion animal. Celebrating The Bond...Just for Kids is an educationally based program that meets children at their level to help them share their thoughts and feelings. CTB...Just for Kids even makes "sharing" fun by incorporating art, writing and even "show-and-tell" with animals from around the world.

The album will be posted here!

UDS Service Dog Zap Remembered, Honored, Celebrated...

2011-12-19T20:02:00.000-08:00

By PAULA WOLF
Staff Writer
For most of the seven years Karen Wolff has worked at United Disabilities Services, Zap, the golden retriever, was there to say hello.

"When I came in the front door, he always greeted me," said Wolff, a consumer quality assurance specialist.

As the face of UDS' Service Dogs program, Zap touched the lives of countless people. So when he passed away Nov. 12 after 11 1/2 years of spreading good will and affection, it was a deep loss to many outside as well as inside the office.

FAQ's about Pet Trusts

2010-09-17T10:17:00.000-07:00

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Trusts

Articles

1. What is a “pet trust”?

A pet trust is legal technique you may use to be sure your pet receives proper care after you die or in the event of your disability.

2. How does a pet trust work?

You (the “settlor”) give your pet and enough money or other property to a trusted person or bank (the “trustee”) who is under a duty to make arrangements for the proper care of your pet according to your instructions. The trustee will deliver the pet to your designated caregiver (the “beneficiary”) and then use the property you transferred to the trust to pay for your pet’s expenses.

The Great Afghanistan Cat Rescue

2010-07-19T10:07:00.000-07:00

For some marines stationed in Afghanistan, one thing made their tour of duty much more bearable: the local stray cats and kittens.

No one minds the cats on the base. They’re cute, friendly, loving – and they keep the base free of snakes and mice (a huge bonus!).

But when one of the kittens, Kiki, went missing, Corporal Brian Chambers felt it. When Kiki surfaced a few days later in terrible condition, with four bad cuts on him, Chambers realised how attached he was to the cat. After Kiki received treatment and became his old self again, Chambers decided to get the cat out.

Putting up some of the money himself, and getting the rest through some wonderful donations, four kittens were taken on an arduous journey out of Afghanistan. Their journey, aided by rescue organisation Nowzad Dogs, took them through Pakistan, then New York and finally Houston and Detroit. Unfortunately two of the kittens didn’t make the trip, but Kiki did, and is now living with Chambers’ parents in Houston, patiently awaiting the day his new Dad can come and get him.

The Daily Local: Canine Officer to Be Honored at Animal Fest

2009-10-06T15:29:00.000-07:00

A retiring canine officer will be honored at the first annual "Celebrating the Bond between Humans and Animals" festival on Sunday.

The canine, "Beny," began working for the West Whiteland Police Department in 1999. His partner has been Police Sgt. Matthew Herkner.

"He was the first canine we ever had here," said West Whiteland Police Chief Ralph Burton. "He was a great asset to the department. I'm sorry to be losing him but he is getting old so he is retiring."

The canine officer will be presented an award at the festival and a picture collage will be displayed, according to Ken Neeld, owner of Philadelphia Pet Memorials, a co-sponsor of the festival. The other sponsor is Veterinary Referral Center and Emergency Services.

Neeld said that he hopes festival attendees leave the event with "a greater sense of value of animals as part of their families." He said he hopes that attendees also learn information about ways to tackle future issues they may have with their animals, such as behavioral problems.

Specialists in animal behavior and pet therapy will be attending the event along with a pet communicator. An animal cop will tell stories about tragedy and neglect.

Pets will also be able to participate in dog Olympics, according to Neeld. Service and medical dogs, who specialize in pet therapy through hospices, will attend the event.

Dear Pet Memorial Staff:

Thank you so much for inviting me to your event. You did an incredible job and being in the hospitality world here at this job, I know how much goes into the planning, and managing of an event. I had a wonderful time and met some lovely people and, what precious animals!

It was great and if you hold the event again next year, I'd love to be a part of it again if you would like.

Thanks again, GREAT JOB, now get a little rest, you deserve it!
