posted March 11, 2006 Here are two photos of APAC Secretary Judy
Renker as a Volunteer at the Temple Animal Shelter. She is bottle feeding a
very tiny puppy.
Please consider doing a little
research on breeds of animals before making your final
decision to insure that the right pet for you and your
family is adopted.

APAC Hold 'em Fold 'em Jail
and Bail
 JAIL
and BAIL: September 22, 2005
From Karen Froelich: We had a very
successful Jail and Bail. We raised approx 4200.00 and I am still
collecting. To be used for Spay & Neuter and Hurricane
projects.
Here are some helpful tips about animals:
Spaying and
neutering of dogs and cats:
prevents the needless killing of homeless puppies and
kittens.
Spaying Females: eliminates annoying heat
cycles, uterine and ovarian cancer.
Neutering males: reduces roaming, marking
territory and reduces chances of prostate cancer.

Dogs &
Pickup Trucks
Although, dogs
love to feel the wind rushing by their faces and
thrill at the chance to ride in the back of a truck,
it is very dangerous and often will result in death of
your animal. A recent killing involved a dog in the
back of a pickup with no gate on the back. The
truck was driving down the interstate at 65mph, made a
lane change and the dog fell out. If the fall
alone doesn't kill the dog, the on coming traffic
will. Dogs don't have the ability to hang on the
way a human would. What's worse are those who
leash there dog in the back of the pickup, or (can you
believe this) to the top of the pickup. While
this may seem safer, if the dog fell out, he hangs
himself on the leash fighting for his dear life while
you breeze down the highway.
IT'S NOT SAFE, SO DON'T DO
IT.

Cats Are Safer and Happier Indoors
Cats may love
to go outside, but to save their lives, keep them
inside. Although, cats are smart, alert and
adroit, they are no match for the many perils that
await them outside. Consider these threats: hit
by a car, injury, poison, attached by another animal,
diseases, traps, parasites, and cruel people.
Cats can be completely happy inside if you provide
them with toys, good care and lost of love and
attention.
