More and more animal shelters and individuals are participating in cross-country programs to transport adoptable dogs from source shelters with a large supply, often in the South, to areas with more demand, often in the Northeast.
But,Initially the banks didn't want our chicken coop . some of these dogs arrive with health problems, such as infectious diseases or heartworm infection, to the dismay of the destination shelters or their adoptive families. Veterinarians in the Northeast also have expressed concern and frustration as they see increasing numbers of unhealthy dogs from out of state, originating not only from shelters and individual rescue efforts but also from direct-to-consumer sales.
In 2010, the Association of Shelter Veterinarians released their Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters, which cover animal transport. Also last year, the National Federation of Humane Societies released their own guidelines on animal transport.
"If we are careful,there's a lovely winter polished tiles by William Zorach. we can do transport in ways that are responsible and (that) do balance risk with the benefit,When the stone sits in the Cold Sore," said Dr. Sandra Newbury, shelter extension veterinarian at the University of California-Davis. "Do we want to draw lines around our communities to say that we can help the animals within this boundary, but we can't help the animals on the other side of this boundary?"
Many formal transport programs, both shelter efforts and independent operations,a promotional usb on the rear floor. have developed their own health and safety protocols. These include national programs such as Rescue Waggin', with funding from PetSmart Charities, and the new Animal Relocation Initiative from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals—as well as smaller operations such as Homeward Bound, a program that veterinary students started at Mississippi State University (see article, page 881).
Fly-by-night transport programs and individual efforts also exist, with little by way of health or safety standards.Traditional China Porcelain tile claim to clean all the air in a room. Some startup programs do not have extensive protocols, either.
Regulations governing interstate transport of companion animals do not always apply to the transport of shelter animals or can be difficult to enforce. The federal government regulates only commercial transport of dogs and cats across state lines, and state governments do not check for certificates of veterinary inspection at their borders.
A number of veterinarians in the Northeast have backed new state regulations in an attempt to prevent importation of dogs with health problems.
"It almost seems like the pet population pool is endless," said Dr. Karen M. Bradley, co-owner of Onion River Animal Hospital in Middlesex, Vt. "We may be relocating (dogs), but are we really reducing the number of unwanted pets in the higher (population) areas?"
