Animal Shelter Standards: Governor’s Weekly Message – August 6, 2010

Governor Jack Markell explains the new Delaware law he signed this summer creating first-of-their-kind animal shelter standards for Delaware.

The law puts Delaware in the forefront of shelter standards in the country by ensuring that shelters provide proper veterinary care to animals, take reasonable steps to increase the likelihood of animal adoption, and address euthanasia procedures and methods.

Markell also shares the story of an abandoned pet they brought into their home.

The law was sponsored by State Senator Patricia Blevins (D-Elsmere) and championed in the House by State Representative Melanie George (D-Bear/Newark). All five animal shelters in the state– Delaware SPCA, Kent County SPCA, Delaware Humane Association, Faithful Friends and Safe Havens Shelter – support the new standards.

How to Give Your Rabbit All the Care He/She Needs – A Video by the Marin Humane Society

It’s important to learn how to properly pick up and hold bunnies. Rabbits generally like to be with other rabbits, as long as they’re a good match for each other. Bunnies behave better if theyve been spayed or neutered, and they require regular vet checkups.

Watch more of the Marin Humane Society’s videos about taking care of rabbits at http://www.marinhumanesociety.org/Adoptions/rabbitvideos.html .

See rabbits who are available for adoption, and learn about everything the Marin Humane Society does to help animals, at http://www.marinhumanesociety.org/Adoptions/sca.html .
