Rhea Serran, Media and Communications Specialist, 916/808-5091(mobile) December 28, 2006 New Year’s Pet Safety Tips New Year’s is a time to reflect on the past and to celebrate the future with friends and family. But it can also be a terrifying time for pets. The City of Sacramento, Animal Care Services reminds all pet owners to keep your furry friends safe and secure during this joyous holiday by following a few simple tips:
If you lose your pet, please visit the City’s Animal Care Services Web site at www.SacPetSearch.com to view photos of found pets, visit the City shelter at 2127 Front Street and contact other animal care agencies in the area. If you have found an animal and are trying to locate the owner, you are also welcome to use the resources at the Lost and Found Center at the City’s animal shelter. Animal Care Services is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. (closed Sundays, Mondays and holidays – including New Year’s Day). Hector Cazares, Animal Care Services Manager, 916/808-7433 December 19, 2006 City’s Animal Care Services Volunteers Bring The City of Sacramento’s Animal Care Services volunteers didn’t want Christmas to go to the dogs. Instead, they decided to bring Christmas to the shelter animals. Beginning at 10 a.m. on Christmas Eve, December 24, and on Christmas Day beginning at noon, volunteers will provide dog walks, treats and companionship to the cats and dogs at the City’s Animal Care Services at 2127 Front Street. The volunteers bring joy and confidence to the disposition of the animals, which increases the possibilities of adoption. Many of the volunteers provide dog walking and other services on a regular basis. However, Christmas is an even more important time to give the gift of exercise and friendship to a shelter animal. The City’s Animal Care Services is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Without the help of the volunteers, many of the animals will be confined to the kennels and cattery for two days. “The longer the animal does not have interaction, it is more likely that they will become ill, depressed and lose their social skills – this may cause them to be considered less desirable for adoption,” said Hector Cazares, Animal Care Services Manager. He adds, “The animal shelter has limited resources. Without the commitment and friendship of the volunteers, many of the animals could be euthanized. The animals receive the much needed attention, exercise, and care that they deserve, and the volunteer receives companionship and a positive feeling of doing something for the community.” Animal Care Services volunteers receive eight hours of general shelter training, including a ride-along with an Animal Care Officer. For more information about volunteer opportunities at the City of Sacramento’s Animal Care Services, please call (916) 808-8166.

The City of Sacramento’s General Services Department, Animal Care Services Division, encourages residents this holiday season to consider giving the gift of friendship by adopting a cat from your local shelter. Current crowded conditions at the City’s animal shelter are at a point where painful, difficult decisions need to be made regarding our adult cat population. As time and space quickly work against these magnificent four-footed felines, we are asking for your help placing our lovable, sweet adult cats in the warmth and comfort of a permanent home. Sadly for adult cats, most people who adopt gravitate toward the cute, bouncy kittens. Older cats sit by and watch as one loving family after another passes them over for a charming kitten from this season’s litter. But for the abandoned, forgotten, and heartbroken adult cats,you just might be their last chance to find the love and warmth of a home where they can live out their years in comfort. Please consider adopting an adult cat from the City shelter. For a short time, we’re offering our beautiful feline friends at a reduced price of $65 – “two for the price of one” – on adult cats that have been deemed compatible with each other. By adopting a pet, you will receive not only a lifetime of unconditional love and acceptance, but a vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered feline companion, and a 5 lb. bag of cat food, a break-away collar, cat carrier, adoption kit with coupons and a training CD. Adopting shelter animals directly helps reduce the suffering caused by pet overpopulation and unnecessary euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals. Prior to adopting a pet, please consider the life-long commitment, time and money that a pet requires.
