Be prepared to help an animal in crisis

As an animal lover, are you prepared to help bring an animal who is lost or injured to safety?

You can make sure you are prepared to be a "lifeline" for injured and stranded animals by assembling a Good Samaritan kit and keeping it in your car. Your kit should include:

Leash and collar
Strong-smelling food or treats
Small carrier or cardboard box
Collapsible water bowl
Bottle of water
Animal first-aid kit
Addresses and phone numbers for local animal shelters and emergency veterinary clinics
Through its LifeLine grant program, UAN helps Good Samaritans meet the high cost of emergency veterinary care for animals they rescue from life-threatening situations.

So if you do find an injured animal who needs lifesaving veterinary care, LifeLine may be able to help you meet the high cost of caring.

From EARS volunteer and animal advocate Rebecca Bauer of Sacramento, California

"I have been engaged in animal advocacy since Hurricane Katrina, writing letters and calling senators and representatives on various animal legislation to seek their support. The day after I called on the horse slaughter bill, it passed. Senator David Cox responded to one of my calls by sending me a personally signed letter confirming his support, and the list goes on. I never thought my small voice would make a difference, but it does!"

More than 1,500 horses find new homes

Last month, the tally of horses adopted through PMURescue.org rose to 1,500. That's 1,500 horses once exploited by the industry that manufactures hormone replacement therapy drugs from pregnant mares' urine (PMU) who have been adopted into permanent, loving homes.

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting a horse, visit PMURescue.org today. More than 350 horses are posted right now, awaiting their forever homes.

Learn more about the PMU industry here.

Meet Hokie! Hokie and his mom, Dariel Miller, are the newest members of the UAN staff. They answer the telephones and staff the front desk -- making a formidable welcoming committee for UAN. You'll be seeing more of Hokie in his new monthly e-Journal column, so we thought you'd like to get to know him.

Exactly what kind of dog are you, Hokie?
I'm a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel-Chihuahua mix. I bet you've never seen another dog like me!

What do you do all day at UAN?
In between naps I like to play with my favorite stuffed frog or eat some treats (people here LOVE to give me treats). I also greet the visitors when my mom is on the phone.

You're a little fellow. How do you keep up with the other dogs in the office?
The real question is: How do they keep up with me? I love to run, and my mom will tell you that I can run for hours before I get tired. The other office dogs can't do that ... so we usually keep playtime to about ten minutes.

Do you have some advice for us animal lovers?
I've got lots of it -- but you'll have to read the next
e-Journal to find out what it is!

Thank You for sharing your newsletter.
And theres so many unwanted animals, I fear that theres going to be a backlash , and they will be summarily executed.
People just dont care after thier pet grows out of the cute stage, and thats a tragedy.

First I want to thank you Melissa for sharing that News letter with us.Any knowledge to help save an animals life is much appreciated :)
And Gary..I agree 100% about people not (loving older pets like they should)
I'm one of those who LOVES older cats.I just LOVE them so VERY much.I love kittens too but older cats I adore and respect.
And I love kittens and wish they were not so easy to adopt.What I mean is that they should not give kittens to homes with small children.They do that so much it makes me sick!!!(shelters)In fact...they push it!!
Children should NOT be allowed near kittens.They hurt them by accident too many times and it makes me so angry just thinking about it.Mom's and Dad's want to amuse their children with kittens.Or just give them kittens to get them out of their hair or shut them up. :(
