Animal Rescue Superhighway
Animal Rescue Superhighway: "Koala Kids Club Today s Child ~ Tomorrow s Ambassador Koala Kid’s Club - a humane education program developed by The Animal Rescue Superhighway - is a program for children in kindergarten through sixth grade, designed to teach that all life is to be respected and to appreciate the interdependency between humans and animals.
Is Crate Training Your Pet Cruel Or Not?
Some people are under the misconception that putting a dog in a crate is cruel to the animal. If this is done improperly, then yes I agree. However, if the Crate Training Technique is implemented properly this is not so. With this Article I hope to explain and convince you how and why this is beneficial to both you and your pet.
Let us begin with the improper uses of a dog crate. First and most important is never, ever use a crate to punish your animal. You will only create the idea that this is a bad place for him. Another improper use is to keep your pet in the crate for long periods of time. Depending on the age of your pet, the time limits will be different. For a list of time limitations by ages, you can go to a detailed guide on Crate Training. Also, please teach your children to respect the dog's crate. They should not be permitted to play in the crate, or pester the dog while he is in it.
Now let me explain why Crate Training your pet is important. Your pet has a den instinct inherited from ancestors years and years ago. If a crate is introduced properly to your pet, he will think of this as his den or safe place. Your dog will feel that his crate is a secure place for him to go when he is tired or stressed. In reality, his crate serves to replicate the sense of a den that he instinctively craves.
Another feature a crate can offer is it can be used as a great technique for housebreaking your pet. Most puppies will not soil their den, and if done properly this holds true in the crate as well. Make sure your crate is the correct size for your pet. You do not want to make his area too big. Your pet should be able to stand and turn around comfortably. Most of the Midwest styles come with a divider panel which let you adjust the size of the crate to grow with your puppy. This is a great feature because you only need to purchase one crate. Next you should get your pet on a schedule for potty breaks. Take your pet outside 15 to 30 minutes after each meal until he relieves himself. Praise him a great deal when he does. Choose a word you would like him to associate with doing his business. I use the word "make". When you take your pet outside, tell him let's go "make". When he accomplishes this, praise him with "good make". Depending on your dog's age will determine how often during the day and night he should be taken outside. You can use the link to the Crate Training information I have mentioned above to find your pets time limitations.
Crate Training also helps to keep your home from being destroyed in the early puppy chewing stages. It is a fact that all puppies like to chew. They are like children and need to be taught what is expected of them. Until they are over this stage a crate is the perfect place for your pet when your are not able to keep an eye on them. Place a few chew toys with some treats inside and they will be happy and content while you are busy.
I have used this method with my dogs. I am a die hard animal lover, and if this was cruel in any way I would be the first one screaming to stop this practice. My current dog is a German Shepherd we adopted at 5 weeks of age. He was badly injured and abandoned at an Emergency Vet. To make a long story short, they fixed him up and offered him to us. We started Crate Training him right away. When he was about 2 years old we decided to take his crate down. Buster (our German Shepherd) cried and moaned the entire night. We actually had to put his crate back up. That night he slept like a baby all night long. Now, does that sound cruel to you?

Princess Theodora Von Auersperg
Princess Theodora and her foundation invite you to "Save a Soul" Will You Lend A Paw?
Princess Theodora Von Auersperg had not given much thought to the plight of our furrier friends, until upon a chance visit at a local animal agency a woman grasped her arm and pleaded, "Please, you must save a soul today." At that very moment a pair of curious green eyes wrapped in a coat of soft black fur and a gentle soul pierced the heart of a princess.
Prince was the first of six feline friends that now enjoy the warmth and compassion of Theodora and her husband Michel. The mission of The Princess Theodora Foundation - 'Save a Soul' - is to offer resource for the care and feeding of animals, by offering ten percent of Princess Theodora's net proceeds from her product sales and all net proceeds from the foundation's fund raising events and promotions toward charities that support the humane treatment of animals and animal rescue operations.
"We all are put here for a higher purpose, and ours is to help provide care for creatures that cannot care for themselves." -- Princess Theodora Von Auersperg
The motivation behind our cause is purely a loving one and comes straight from our heart. All we care about is to raise more awareness about the importance of humane treatment, respect, care and love toward all animals and the many blessings that come with inviting and making them part of our lives. Animal rescue, prevention of animal abuse and animal neglect are our top priorities. We do not pursue at all any specific agenda to convert mankind to a vegetarian or vegan diet, neither do we condemn people wearing furs or leather goods. Nobody is perfect. All it matters is that you have your heart in the right place.
Meet Some of Our Friends
One agency that has particularly caught the attention of Princess Theodora is "Hope for Life Rescue" in Virginia Beach, Virginia. For more than 7 years, this "urban sanctuary" for abandoned, abused, neglected and left-behind-street animals, has offered a safe, compassionate, and loving place for animals desperately in need of a home and people who will love them. With no set adoption fee, this non-profit organization operates on donations, used to insure all their animals come with complete medical package which includes all tests, shots, and spay/neuter.
610 Jack Rabbit Road, Suite #1 Virginia Beach, VA 23451 Office Telephone: (757-491-4609)
As the only non kill SPCA in the Tidewater Area the Norfolk SPCA has been doing wonderful work for many years in both their locations and they deserve all the credit and support they can get.
916 Ballentine Blvd. Norfolk, VA 23504 Office Telephone: (757-622-3319)
Please Join Us
Hearts just naturally open up to whole new dimensions of love and joy when animals are brought into the home. Their unconditional love brings us closer to nature and what really matters in life. These little angels - healers here on earth - are here to mend the human heart with their love and companionship.
This compassion is not necessarily universal, and is why we're trying to help those that help these creatures get fed, find shelter, and find the love they richly deserve.
They need our help, and we hope that you will join us in our efforts.

PetSafe Dog Doors - Choices For Every Home
Whether you have a dog, cat, or multiples of both, letting them have the option of when to go out and when to come in can save so much time. This type of freedom also helps to eliminate the scratching, barking, and other negative forms of behavior they exhibit when they want to go out and you cannot let them. PetSafe Dog Doors are the answer for you and your pets.
Of course, having any Dog Door assumes that you have a pet safe area into which
your pets can go once they do go out. Make sure your pet once outside, can be safely contained in your yard while he's enjoying the fresh air and taking care of business.
There are multiple sizes and styles of PetSafe Dog Doors and each has a purpose. There are simple styles of Dog Doors that can be installed easily into screen doors or regular doors. The flaps are weather proof, easily movable, and return to their original position immediately. Most pets figure out how to come and go the first day.
You also have your choice of styles that can be built into a garage door or other exterior walls. These are ideal for pets who are not allowed in the house alone for long periods while the owners are at work, etc. If your pet needs to be contained in the garage, it is the perfect solution for when he feels like heading to the backyard for a nap in the sun.
Prices range from about $50 to over a few hundred for the large electronic styles. The PetSafe Dog Door can accommodate Wall Mounting, Door Mounting, or even Sliding Glass Door Mounting applications. It provides you and your pet a great freedom, especially on the long days of your work week.
At Busters Canine Supply Outlet we offer all types and styles of PetSafe Dog Doors. We have Videos to show you how easy it is to install these doors in all the applications mentioned above. Many of our Dog Doors are now on Sale.
