New Group Formed to Support the needs of Dogs

and their Responsible Owners in Providence, RI Great Photographer?
Providence Barks, a new public-spirited citizens group has
been formed to identify and support the needs of dogs
and their owners in the city of Providence. The group has
been established by the owner of the east side pet bou-
tique, “Plaid & Stripe” after his realization that dog owners
in Providence were a potential civic and political force but
unlike other cities like New York and Los Angeles were
virtually invisible because of their lack of organization.
“Having lived in New York City and spent a substantial
amount of time in Los Angeles, both cities with large
dog populations, I have seen first hand what a city can do
to meet the needs of dogs and their owners. Both cities www.BellPhotographyStudio.com
feature extensive, well appointed dog parks and ordinances Janet Bell 401 447 9974

those residents who own dogs,” said Bugbee. He contin-
ued: Not only are Providence’s ordinances virulently anti-

dog, but the current laws are all but unenforced leading to
conflicts among those who own dogs and those who don’t.
Registration and Enforcement Leads to Strength.
Providence Barks feels strongly that the city’s lax attitude
towards enforcement of registration and licensing ordi- PET SITTING & DOG WALKING SERVICE

Bugbee says Providence Barks is also suggesting that Vet techs, pre-vet students,
additional licensing sites be established throughout the city CPR certified & more…
to make the process as easy and convenient as possible. “I

MSPCA Closes Three Bunny

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of

Initiated Legislation:
Rhode Island’s Rabies Law

Pet Owners in Rhode Island have initiated a legislative
effort to change the state’s 2 year rabies booster law to
the national 3 year standard and on behalf of The Rabies
Challenge Fund www.RabiesChallengeFund.org
The Center for Disease Control’s National Association
of State Public Health Veterinarian’s (NASPHV) Com-
pendium of Animal Rabies Prevention and Control 2008
states that, “Vaccines used in state and local rabies control
programs should have at least a 3-year duration of im-
munity. This constitutes the most effective method of
increasing the proportion of immunized dogs and cats in
any population.” They specifically warn that, “no labora-
tory or epidemiologic data exist to support the annual or
biennial administration of 3 or 4 year vaccines following
the initial series.” Also endorsing the NASPHV’s Rabies
Compendium are the American Veterinary Medical As-
sociation (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital
Association (AAHA).
What You Can Do to Help:
Contact your legislator and ask them to introduce a bill
changing the 2 year booster requirement to conform
to the 3 year protocol recommended by the National
Association of State Public Health Veterinarians Rabies
Compendium and ask your pet-owning friends to do the
same. Visit www.rilin.state.ri.us/ to assist you in finding
your legislators.

Behavior Problems www.GraciesGourmet.com
Most people put their cats out in response to behavior problems. Litter box problems
are the number one feline behavior complaint. Trust me, I know. You may recall a past
article about my own cat litter box issue. I am happy to report that this issue is finally,
completely resolved. There are specific steps one should follow when they are dealing
with litter box problems, but here is a very brief overview:
Furry PetFriends
Care Services
• Schedule a vet exam to rule out medical causes • Spay or neuter • Provide one more
box than the number of cats • Avoid box liners and deodorizing sprays • Scoop box
daily, wash with mild dish detergent weekly • Clean all urine/feces stains outside the
box with an enzymatic cleaner designed for this purpose • Choose and stick to a litter
your cat likes, usually unscented, fine-grain, & scoopable • Choose the box your cat
likes best, usually jumbo size, uncovered, & shallow • Choose easily accessible loca-
tions away from noisy appliances • Contact a professional if problems persist

The next most common behavior problem is scratched belongings. Before you resort
to declawing or putting the cat out, take a look at these simple suggestions: Insured & Bonded Pet Care
• Ask your vet to show you how to trim your cat’s nails, and trim them regularly Dog Walks
Pet Sitting
• Provide horizontal and vertical scratching surfaces in high traffic areas Farm Animal Care
• Provide multiple textures for scratching, such as carpet, sisal, and cardboard Birthday Parties
• Make inappropriate scratching locations less attractive by covering them with and much more…

Dog and Cat Salon New Baby or Child Allergies
286 Maple Ave. Plaza Barrington, RI Sometimes when a new baby arrives, parents feel the need to
put the cat outside to keep the child safe or to alleviate
allergies. With proper precautions and supervision, plenty of
cats and babies are able to live in perfect harmony. There are
lots of old wives’ tales, concerns about toxoplasmosis, and
safety questions. If you are expecting a baby or plan to adopt,
please look into the classes and books available to assist you.
As far as allergies are concerned, studies have found that
among children with allergies other than pet related allergies,
having pets does not seem to make the situation worse. In fact,
exposure to pets at home may protect children from
developing pet allergies until at least age 7.

Don’t Cats Belong Outside?

Many families let cats out because they feel bad for the cats,
being cooped up inside all the time. I agree that cats do need
the opportunity to have plenty of mental and physical
stimulation and room to run and jump. However, simply
opening the door isn’t always the answer. Cars, cat fights,
attacks from dogs or coyotes, and toxins are very real hazards
for outdoor cats. It is estimated that cats who are let outside
live to an average age of six years, whereas indoor cats live
upwards of 10 or 12 years.
That said, I know there are cats out there who insist on being 27
let outside, or homes that will continue to let their cats out. If
your cat is going to go outside, here are a few suggestions to
help keep them safe: • Install invisible fencing in your yard to
keep cats away from roads, driveways, and woods • Install cat
doors with locking mechanisms • Install cat fencing in your yard
(Google “cat fence” ) • Build outdoor cat containment “jungle
gyms” with access via one of your windows

As a final alternative to letting cats out, try window boxes that

allow cats to sit “outside” while still being safely inside, such as
the Cat Window Veranda by Drs Foster and Smith or the Feline
Solarium (www.thefelinesolarium.com).

I hope this information helps your cats to enjoy a safer, less

stressful springtime season. Remember, there is usually another
answer that may take a little more time and a little more effort,
Treats your best friend can’t resist.
but in the end, you and your cat may just be happier for it. Pawtucket, Rhode Island

“Lola”
“Bailey”
??/??/?? – 1/5/2009
Hi everyone,
This is Bailey and I am writing you to say
goodbye. Just recently I have had more and
more trouble breathing and it makes me
tired. I cannot sleep at night and sometimes
I am scared that I can’t get any air at all. A
couple of days ago I told Mommy that I am
ready to move on. I feel that my duty has been
completed here.
I am a little afraid of who is going to take care
of my mom. I protected her – no matter what.
When she would talk to other people she
would sometimes laugh and refer to me as her
shadow. I guess that means I did a good job. I
really tried to be there whenever she needed
me and I hope she will be safe once I am gone.
My dad was a pretty incredible guy too and my
most favorite part was that he would bring me And then there were times when mom and
bones every week.
Other than Mom and Dad, I’ve had some
incredible friends. My best friend is Traer,
she saved my life more than 4 years ago when
she rescued me from the dog pound. And
then there was all the people in the office:
Danny who would feed me French Fries and
$.99 burgers when Mom wasn’t looking (and
sometimes when she saw it); Jeremy who
would always light scented candles when I was I will miss you all!
Lola’s last day at the beach taken by her mom Laura Kranitz.
Dear friends of Lola,
Last month my dear furry friend Lola went to
the big ole’ doggie park in the sky. She had a

all in her doggie world. It was her time, and she

So thank you all from the both of us.

Drummer is a one year old neutered male
and up to date on shots. He is a wonderfully
happy, sweet, socialized dog! He gets along

City of Boston Animal Shelter - Boston, MA • 617.635.1800 or 617.635.1913

Tally – I am a stunning female pit mix. You
will be so proud to be seen with me because
I am just a beautiful dog. I weigh about 60
pounds. I am all tan with a faint mask on my
face. I have been at the shelter since October
25th. I’m not really hyper but I can get car-
ried away during play. I need a firm owner.
Dozer – Everyone here loves me because I’m
such a good boy. I am a 66 pound, 8 to 12
month old, black and white pit bull mix. I am
young but calm. I don’t really stand out but
just ask to see me if you come by. My name is
Dozer and I’m number 444.
Lulu – Because of the speckles on my face
and chest and the shape of my face, every-
one thinks I might have some pointer in me. I
would probably be called an “American Shel-
ter Dog” but petfinder doesn’t have that as a
breed option. What do you think. I’m a little
hyper but I’m still young (6-8 months).
Torrie – Hello everyone! I am just another
cute pittie. Yes, I am a little hyper but I can
be such a good girl with just a little training.
I have been at the shelter since 12/16/08.
We are all spayed/neutered at the shelter. I
am about 2-3 years old and weigh about 49
pounds. I am so cute. Check out my picture.
Do you see those cute ears?

Friends of Attleboro Shelter - Attleboro, MA • 508.761.5617 • AttleboroPets@Hotmail.com

Lexus, like the car she is also a luxury dog!
Due to personal reasons, her family can no
longer keep her so Miss Lexus is looking for
a new home. She will be celebrating her first
birthday soon, not sure if the exact date but
early February. She is a valentine girl, look
at the heart shaped face. She also still needs
basic training but can sit and wait.
Sox was born in 2005. He was found and
brought to us by a concerned citizen. He
was definitely someone’s cat as he came to
us much cleaner than an outdoor cat could
every be. He loves attention and would make
a great addition to any family.
Thelma was abandoned near the shelter
with her pal Louise. We think she is between
1-2 years old. Thelma is a playful young girl
who hasn’t been taught much. Thelma will
do best in an adult, dog experienced home.
We don’t know her past but we do know
she needs training from the start. She needs
structure and crate training.
Cornelius was brought into the shelter
because he was lonely and trying to make
friends at someone’s house. Unfortunately
the cat and dog there weren’t looking for a
new friend, so he ended up here. He is very
sweet, lovable and low-key. If you’re looking
for a new friend, please inquire about your
potential new friend, Cornelius.

Mansfield Animal Shelter - Mansfield, MA • 508.261.7339 • adopt@mansfieldshelter.org

Milo is only seven months old. He was
surrendered when his owner’s housing
situation changed.
Lexi is housebroken, and great with kids,
cats, and most dogs. She was surrendered
because of allergies in her family. Lexi is a
sweet girl who knows commands such as:
sit, paw, and down. She would make a great
family pet.
Tex is a sweet, friendly, easy going two year
old who loves to rub against you and roll on
his back when you pet him. Tex would make
a good pet for most families.
Macie is a four year old, female Lab/Shepherd
mix. She was surrendered when her owner
moved and couldn’t keep her. Macie is good
with people but she does not get along with
other dogs.

urgent dogs. Not interested in working with the dogs directly? Maybe you would like to
help with our fundraising and education efforts? If interested, please contact:
