Adopt a homeless Pet!<br />
Our mayflower Buddy is a 47 lb. American English Coonhound<br />
mix, and he has a beautiful long nose to prove it! Also referred to<br />
as Redtick or English Coonhounds, the breed is known for trailing<br />
and treeing game. Buddy is a big, goofy, wide-open kind of boy<br />
who loves everybody. Buddy can jump straight up in the air 4 or 5<br />
feet, like a spring, when you approach.<br />
Noah’s Arc volunteers pulled Buddy from a kill shelter where he<br />
was at the top of the euthanasia list for space. He’d come in as a<br />
stray and tested positive for heartworms, which have been treated.<br />

ADVERTISING<br />
Magazine space is no-cost to organizations or individuals caring for<br />
animals who need homes. Monthly business rates are $300/150/75/35<br />
for a full-page/half-page/quarter-page/business card ad in color, and<br />
$200/100/50/25 for grayscale ads. A one year subscription is $25.<br />
ADOPTION CRITERIA<br />
Each organization in Critter has its own adoption criteria. All<br />
organizations require an adoption contract and a fee to recoup basic<br />
expenses. All will require that your adoptee be a pet, not merely<br />
a utility animal for protection or hunting. Most will ensure that the<br />
animals are spayed or neutered at the time of adoption; underfunded<br />
shelters may instead require a spay/neuter contract and a deposit that<br />
will be refunded upon proof of spay or neuter. Most will want to visit<br />
your home and see where the pet will live. Because many of these<br />
animals have not been well treated in the past, extra care is taken to<br />
ensure their safety and happiness in the future.<br />

Road Trip with Pets<br />
UNLIKE the couple in this cute graphic, taking a road trip with your pet involves more than stuffing him or her and your<br />
luggage into the back seat of your car and cruising off down the highway; especially if you plan to be gone for a while.<br />
Luckily for us, the ASPCA has come up with a series of tips to help you prepare for your trip.<br />
• Prep pets for long trips by taking them on<br />
several short drives, gradually lengthening<br />
the time spent in the car. Pack your pets<br />
rabies vaccination record or make<br />
sure they are wearing the tag you got<br />
at the time of the vaccination.<br />
• Keep your pets safe in<br />
well-ventilated crates<br />
or carriers. Crates or<br />
carriers should allow<br />
the pet to stand, turn<br />
around, sit, and lie down<br />
stretched out. Secure the<br />
crate so it will not slide or shift<br />
when you put on the brakes. If you<br />
choose not to crate them, never let<br />
them ride with their head hanging out<br />
the window and keep them in the back seat in a<br />
harness attached to the seat belt.<br />

• Pack a travel kit with pet food,<br />
plenty of bottled water, leash, bowls,<br />
plastic waste bags, medications,<br />
and first-aid supplies. Their<br />
travel-feeding schedule<br />
should start with a light<br />
meal three to four hours<br />
before departure. Always<br />
opt for bottled water. Drinking<br />
water from an area he or she isn’t<br />
used to could result in stomach<br />
discomfort.<br />
• Stop every few hours to let your<br />
dogs stretch their legs and take a potty<br />
break. Do not leave you pets alone in<br />
a parked car. Even with the windows<br />
open, on a hot day the car soon becomes a<br />
furnace. In cold weather a car can act as a refrigerator<br />
holding in the cold and they might die.<br />

Reduced Cost Spay/Neuter Resources and Subsidies for Low-Income Citizens<br />
WHY SPAY & NEUTER?<br />
• SPAYING & NEUTERING SPARES THE LIVES OF<br />
UNWANTED PETS! Only 1 in 9 cats and dogs born in the<br />
U.S. will find a home. The rest will be destroyed because<br />
nobody wants them.<br />
• SPAYING & NEUTERING CALMS YOUR PET! Altered<br />
animals make more affectionate companions. Altered<br />
animals are less likely to bite because they are more eventempered.<br />
• SPAYING & NEUTERING INCREASES YOUR PET’S<br />
SAFETY! Neutered males are less likely to roam, run<br />
away, or get into fights. Spayed females are less likely to<br />
attract unwanted animals into your yard.<br />
• SPAYING & NEUTERING EXTENDS YOUR PET’S<br />
LIFE! Altered animals live longer, healthier lives. Female<br />
cats and dogs have reduced risks of uterine, ovarian, and<br />
breast cancers. Male cats and dogs have reduced risks of<br />
prostate cancer and disorders.<br />
• SPAYING & NEUTERING RESULTS IN A CLEANER<br />
HOME! Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark<br />
territory. Spaying eliminates carpet stains from bloody<br />
fluid passed by female dogs during the heat cycle.<br />

2017 Results<br />
The GoNorth Transport Collaborative is a<br />
group of animal shelters in east Tennessee<br />
that work together to transport animals to<br />
under-capacity northern animal shelters with<br />
high adoption demand. Most shelters in east<br />
Tennessee are perpetually overcrowded due<br />
to random breeding by roaming, unaltered<br />
pets. Pet overpopulation is generally not a<br />
problem in northern states, where spaying<br />
and neutering of pets is a routine part of<br />
responsible pet ownership.<br />
A total of 2682 animals were transported<br />
to northern shelters in 2017. Since the<br />
program’s inception in 2012, 11,275 animals<br />
have been transported from east Tennessee<br />
to partner shelters in northern states.<br />
Transports take place twice each week with<br />
an average of 25 animals per transport.<br />
Sending shelters that participate in GoNorth<br />
report that they have been able to eliminate<br />
euthanasia for space.<br />
East Tennessee shelter<br />
statistics are improving,<br />
i.e., more animals are<br />
saved and fewer are<br />
euthanized.<br />

Quincy is an elderly gent,<br />
quite spry for his age and<br />
ready for adventures. But,<br />
he also likes the calm life<br />
hanging out with family. He<br />
is about 9 years old and<br />
54 lbs. Quincy is a Golden<br />
Retriever / Golden Lab<br />
mix. He like car rides, other<br />
dogs, and people. Quincy is<br />
ready for a family who will<br />
love him; one that he can<br />
love back.<br />
Huxley (right) is a 1 to 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix with<br />
the cutest freckles ever. He weighs about 65 lbs. Huxley is a<br />
lovable, active boy, who<br />
needs an active family.<br />
He learns quickly. He is<br />
getting better on a leash<br />
and is working on basic<br />
obedience skills. He would<br />
do best with children over<br />
5 because he is young and<br />
playful, and might frighten<br />
or knock over younger<br />
children. He is pretty good<br />
with other dogs.<br />

Sydney (right) is an 8 year old<br />
female that is looking for a new<br />
home since her last adopters<br />
divorced and neither of them<br />
could take care of her. She is<br />
extremely playful and loyal and<br />
enjoys car rides and playing<br />
fetch. She is great with children.<br />
Sydney needs to be your only<br />
pet. She is housetrained and<br />
crate-trained.<br />
Nikki (left) has had three tail<br />
amputations and some OCD<br />
issues related to her early<br />
life in an outdoor kennel. She<br />
has mostly stopped her OCD<br />
behaviors and learned to<br />
enjoy life. Nikki would do best<br />
in a home with another calm<br />
dog or possibly as an only<br />
dog. She has been fostered<br />
in a home with cats. Because<br />
Nikki is easily stressed, she<br />
needs a home with no small<br />
children.<br />
