Featured Story: SUPERDOG STELLA
Source: PawFriendly.com - Pet Stories
|
Our dog Stella is a brindle (brown/white) Boston terrier
breed. She is the sweetest puppy, always jumping on our
bed waking us up in the morning, following us around as
we're getting ready for work in the morning, and
faithfully waits by the window for us to get home.
We just recently lost her for 2 whole days during a
horrible rainstorm and was afraid we would never see
her again.
We brought her over to my sister's house because we had
to take a trip to NJ for a weekend wedding. When Stella
arrived at my sisters house my fiancee had already left
and proceeded to drive home, and my sister's little girls
were so happy to play with Stella. But Stella, being a
young dog and still unfamiliar with new surroundings
panicked and had her little doggie accidents in the
house. My brother in law put her in the backyard and
called me to come get Stella back fearing she was not
potty trained. So when my fiancee went to go back to
pick her up, driving about 20 miles roundtrip to get
her, Stella apparently had broken free from her leash,
crawled under the fencing from the backyard and started
to run away through the neighboorhood.
Of course the search started immediately. My fiancee,
Anthony spent 6 hours searching for her Thursday night
9/14 and came home at midnight crying..."

HOW TO RENT WITH PETS - TIPS ON FINDING (AND KEEPING) A PET-FRIENDLY RENTAL
Excerpted from: hubpages.com/hub/renting-with-pets
|
Landlords want to protect their investment. As a pet
owner, you want to show a prospective landlord that
you are a responsible tenant and a responsible pet
owner. You want to convince the landlord that it would
be a good thing to have you as a tenant! Here are a
few things to consider when renting with pets:
Create a resume for your pet.
It might sound funny to have a resume for an animal, but it can help show
a landlord that you are a responsible pet owner.
Include helpful information like obedience and
socialization classes, any volunteer work your pet
might have done (eg. pet-assisted therapy work),
references from veterinarians, dog trainers, pet
sitters, neighbors, previous landlords, etc.. You
could also include a copy of your pet's vaccination
records to show that he's healthy and is up-to-date
on vaccines. It also helps to show that your pet is
spayed or neutered. Finally, include a short write-up
about you as a pet owner.
Offer a prospective landlord the opportunity to visit you at your current residence.
He can then meet your pet and see how well you keep your current rental unit.
Try to take a few days off when you move into a new place to help your pet adjust.
It's new for your pet too, and sometimes even the quietest pets will get anxious in new surroundings and make excessive noise, disturbing the neighbors.
