Even if is harder and less guaranteed, can a dog begin obedience training at adulthood? please, read details.?

What I want to know is if any normal street or wilderness dog can learn obedience to an acceptable degree, it doesn’t have to be champion on those "best Dog Shows". Also, even if there may not guaranteed, have this happend before?; It maybe puppies better, or perhaps the majority of properly trained dogs are more "houseborn, house raised", but that is not what’s important in my question- what’s important is the answer about the likelyhood that it may happend ( Can it happend, could it be that a street dog become acceptably trained, even if the number of these dogs is less than the number of dogs that are well trained that are already house pets; In other words, can it happend with proper training or is it almost always nearly impossible to train an adult untrained dog to behave acceptably well, and it requires a miracle?); Also, ignore which method should be used, as long if there is a method and not simply a matter of absolute luck without the possibility of Human influences. Thanks

yes a street dog (or even a wild dog or animal) of any age can be obedience trained if the person doing the training can gain the animals trust and knows what they are doing. food allways works best.

Does anybody kno a website that can show you a local pet shelter?

I want to volunteer for one in Norridge!

This should help you sweety. That is awesome you want to do that. Pet shelters need people who really love and care about animals the way I see you do. I love them as well. I wish people knew that animals feel joy, pain, lonliness, hunger…Some people just don’t care or have a clue.I hope you find what you are looking for. If this isn’t it, go to Google.com and ask there. Good luck and God bless.

I am looking to buy or adopt a pet pig. Does anybody have info about where I could adopt one?

I would like it to be pink and small. My mom won’t allow it if it will grow to be really big. Also, can you potty train a pig?

Please reply if you have any of this information or if you have a pig that I could adopt from you! Thank you guys so much!

I’m not exactly sure where you can get a pig… But you should first check if it’s even legal to have one where you live. Some areas don’t allow certain animals to be kept as pets, and they can be taken away from you if you have an "illegal" pet. No one likes having their pet taken from them, so you should avoid any problems early, and see if your house is appropriate for a pig.

How much money do you approximately need to have to help buy supplies for a animal rescue center?

We are starting a animal rescue center and I need to know ideas to make your own toys and treats, ways to earn good money, and how much money i would possibly need.

I do not know how much it would cost.

I can suggest a few things you would need:

1) A good relationship with a veterinarian who will make home visits and the money to pay for same as well as a relationship with a spay/neuter clinic.

2) At least a few large cages, traps for capturing feral or stray cats, cat carriers.

3) Easily washed bedding materials and towels. Bleach and detergent.

Those are only a few. I am sure there is very much more.

Are you looking for 1 on 1 training or a group situation?

www.dogtrainers.com.au

That is a few that you could start making enquires with.

I wouldn’t bother with bark busters as they are very expensive and the results aren’t great.

Hanrob seems to be quite well organised and having read their website they seem to work on the right principles.

They do 1 on 1 and group lessons – which are great for socialising the dog.

Good luck on your quest to train you dog

What breed of dog is it?

Does anyone know the policy for the humane society in Tampa?

I recently got laid off and unfortunately I can no longer afford to care for my cat. So I plan on returning her to the Humane Society (where I originally adopted her from). Here’s my question:
The Humane Society In Tampa, FL is a no-kill shelter however I have heard rumors that they WILL put down animals that have any medical issues. Does anyone know if this is true?

Thank you so much for any information!

The "policy" of all humane societies is to help rehome surrendered animals – IF at all possible. Some humane societies are "wealthier" than others. They may have a full-time vet on staff to evaluate and treat animals. Others do not have that luxury.

Last week we had five wonderful bunnies surrendered to us because the owner has lost his home. Shelters are now being overwhelmed with the numbers of surrendered animals from people who can no longer provide for them.

I am so sorry you must lose your cat. Please talk to the people there (they will never make a promise) about her chances for adoption. The safest route for you is to try to find someone who can give her a home till you are on your feet financially.

Best of luck to you and your cat.

Has anyone tried, or does anyone know a person who has attempted to adopt a pet in New York?

I am currently unemployed. I will be receiving 56 more weeks of unemployment pay ($405 a week). I also have a little more than $2,000 in the bank.

I am planning to go to North Shore Animal League in Long Island to adopt a cat.

I’m curious to hear if anyone has or knows someone who attempted to adopt a cat while unemployed, from a large NY shelter such as North Shore Animal League.

Thanks!

DO NOT GO TO NORTH SHORE!!! They are just a business, they charge more than a legitimate shelter and the animals are often sick.

I don’t know if adopting while unemployed is such a great idea. It’s great that you will be receiving so much unemployment pay, but what happens if you still don’t have a job when your 56 weeks are up? Also, $405 really isn’t that much money if you’re living on LI. I am still shocked at how expensive everything is, and I’ve lived here most of my life.

If you have considered the consequences and are committed to getting a cat, and giving it excellent care, no matter what the cost, then you should check the town shelters. I’ve read about people on Craigslist who went to the Babylon shelter, for example, and didn’t really need anything but the adoption fee. You can check around.

Another option is to watch the Craigslist posts.

http://longisland.craigslist.org/pet/

People are always giving away/adopting out cats on there.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

My family wants to start an animal rescue?

My family and I would like to start a non-kill animal rescue. We need to know what laws we need to follow and what permits we need to get. We need advice on how to start as well. This is a dream of ours and I am so happy we are following it.

I volunteer as a wild life rehabilitator. One of my very good friends runs it out of her home. Before you get into this make sure you’re prepare for this. This is VERY costly and VERY time consuming and can be VERY emotionally draining. It is extremely hard work and it won’t be all cuddling and cute animals.

As for the laws and permits, that depends on where you are from, the laws and what animals you plan on rescuing. We do wild life and my friend had to take a course and get licensed. The course cost around $200. There’s also shots you’re going to need (ie. tetanus and rabies)

The way it worked with my friend was, she started working at an animal shelter to get some experience and so that they could watch how she did with the animals. Then she started fostering from them. Taking home a squirrel here and there. Starting off very small, then getting more and more critters. Then the woman she fosters from would supervise and get her to do things like giving needles and other things so she’d be able to do it on her own. Now she runs one from her house and I volunteer for her.

Soon I’ll take the course, then start fostering from her. It is the single most rewarding thing I’ve done with my life. It is a huge stress relief (having a baby animal in your hand kind of takes away all your worries because they need you and you don’t have time to worry about anything else) but they also add tones stress too. At one point we had 30 squirrels, 10 chipmunks, 3 groundhogs, a loon, a duck, a sea-gull, a crow and 3 raccoons (I wasn’t allowed to help with the coons because of the risk of rabies and I wasn’t licensed for them) as soon as we were done feeding we had to start again and that was with four other volunteers.

You’re going to need a lot of space as well because cages need to be built. Also you need to prepare yourself that some animals are going to die. It will be heart breaking, but you have to move on. Some will just be too far gone to save. Also some animals will have to be put down. Some animals are either just in too much pain with no hope of survival or far too aggressive and should be put down. I hope you’re prepared for this. Good luck to you!
