Petwatch in Progress July 2007

Petwatch In Progress:

I have had a number of reports on found bunnies. If you know owner or would like to adopt a rabbit, let us know. Also, Oscar the dog is in need of a permanent loving home. Don’t forget we have a blog site now for up to date info. We do not send out emails to everyone everytime we post so please check the blog to check on an animal issue or email us at the address above. We are in need of more foster homes, so if you find an animal, consider what you will do with it, as you cannot count on a local volunteer all the time. We do have some old pet food and some pet supplies for those who do foster, tho we are not really equipped for bunnies!

Also, the coyote issue is being addressed in Dixon Branch with trapping being active in their area right now. Do be careful as the coyotes are obviously well adapted to our urban setting and have been seen on city streets day and nite and sometimes are in packs. Keep small children/pets safe! Become BIG with picking up small ones and yelling. Then call 311 immediately. Do not mess with their dens found in the creeks and let the professionals handle the wild animals.

I will be out of town for vacation mid July, so we are happy to welcome Tiffany Shaw to our Petwatch family who will be training on our Blog work soon and helping Nancy while I am gone! Have a great pet friendly summer! Karen
