Courtesy Post: Adopt a Puppy or Dog at Chicago Animal Care and Control
October 14, 2009
Dear Friends of Petraits,
When I visited Chicago Animal Care and Control at 2741 S. Western Avenue in Chicago there were a number of wonderful dogs and puppies waiting for loving homes (Petraits attached).
Bear is an adorable, sweet and fun fuzzball of a 14-week-old shepherd/chow-mix puppy who is looking for a patient dog-lover with time and energy to devote to house-breaking and training a dog. He will probably be about 55 pounds as an adult.
Flower is a 50-pound, seven-year-old shepherd-mix who was found as a stray. She was obviously living with a family as he is trained in the commands sit and down … I’d guess she’s probably housetrained too.
Lottie is a shy and gentle, two-year-old, 55-pound black and white shepherd-mix who knows how to sit on command and takes treats gently from your fingers. Lottie’s ear tips appear to have had frost bite and fly bites from being left out in someone’s yard too often.
Midnight is a one-year-old 55-pound black Labrador retriever/basenji-mix with a curlie-q tail. He was relinquished to the shelter by his human. Midnight knows the commands sit and down.
Peaches is a well-mannered, active 65-pound, seven-year-old, female pit-mix who knows the commands sit and down and takes treats gently. She also walks well on leash and appears to be housebroken.
Rio is a four-year-old, 50-pound, plush-coated male cattle dog-mix. Rio knows how to sit on command and would do best as the only dog in the home.
Scout is an energetic, seven-month-old male, red Shepherd-mix with satellite dish ears. She loves to play ball and already knows the command to sit.
Spot is a eight-month-old, 25-pound, male energetic, tri-color rat terrier-mix puppy. He sits automatically when asked and takes treats very gently.
To meet and possibly adopt any of these great dogs, please visit Chicago Animal Care & Control in person at 2741 S. Western Avenue in Chicago. The shelter is open for adoptions Wednesday through Friday from 4pm to 7pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3, and 4 to 7. The dogs’ adoption fee is $65, which includes their spay/neuter surgery, rabies, distemper and bordatella vaccines, heartworm-testing, city license, de-worming and microchip.
If you’d like to volunteer to walk dogs, or socialize cats, or foster pets for CACC, please contact Kathy at kbwilson60612@yahoo.com
The next volunteer orientation will take place on Saturday, October 24 from 11:00AM - 2:00PM.
To see the rest of the pets available at Animal Care and Control, go to their website at http://www.chicago.petfinder.com

Obama's Award today
I subscribe to BarackObama.com, and this is the e-mail I received today. I just wanted to post it here because I am so proud. I am proud to be an American at this time, proud to have a President with Barack Obama's moral and cultural values, proud that our President, who just happens to be from MY city - Chicago, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today. I am excited to see what wonderful things will happen next!
"
This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.
But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.
That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.
This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.
So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

New kitties!!!
A kind client of mine recently found this adorable male kitten and decided to keep him. Then, when walking her dog, I found his mother! She's at my home at this time and needs a permanent home soon. Pass the word on to anyone who may be interested. (I did find the owner, but they are not able to care for them and have relinquished them to me. )
Of course, with the help of either PAWS or Tree House, they will get their spay/neuter, shots and microchips...

Courtesy Post: Tiki Wants to Walk with His Family Again!
Announcement from Support Handicapped Pets Foundation
http://www.hpets.org/pets-who-need-help/18-tiki.html
Tiki resides with his family in Washington where he has been a loyal companion for 10 years. He is a Labrador/ Husky/German shepherd mix who has earned his Canine Good Citizen and has done work as a therapy dog. His owner describes him as the "best dog I have ever known" and would like to assist him in walking again. Tiki is very depressed that his hips no longer allow him to run and play with his owner's grandson. He really wants to be able to walk with his family again. Unfortunately, Tiki's owner is unable to afford the cost of a dog wheelchair and has turned to the Handicapped Pets Foundation for assistance. The family is struggling to survive on a part-time income and would be extremely grateful for assistance in getting their Tiki mobile again!
Please make a contribution in support of Tiki - the first $200.00 contributed towards Tiki will be matched dollar for dollar in an effort to get him walking as soon as possible. Make your donation count twice and help Tiki get a wheelchair!
To make a contribution in support of Tiki, please click here. You may reference "Tiki" in the purpose line of the form to designate your contribution specifically towards a dog wheelchair for him.
If you would prefer to make a contribution by mail, please send a check made payable to Handicapped Pets Foundation, 14 Veterans Road #22, Amherst, NH 03031.
Thank you in advance for your support and for truly making a difference for handicapped pets!

Giants!
Despite my woes, having the privilege to spend time with gorgeous creatures such as these Giant Schnauzers, I am put back into perspective of how lucky I am.
Allie's first bath
Allie is having some trouble with making poopy today, so I gave her a warm herbal bath to soothe her little behind and her itchy skin.

Twittering...
I finally got the hang of Twitter. I have it also feeding directly into my Facebook status updates. Pretty cool. So, please follow me on twitter, too @andrea4animals. I don't normally have too much time to actually write a blog posting, so between the 3 places, you'll definitely know whats going on with AndreaForAnimals.com!
Don't forget about my fosters - they need permanent homes! (pix below)
Thanks for caring about the animals!
