C4P Animal Rescue Offers Great Advice For Preventing Your Pet From Going Missing

BEST PRACTICES: With recent "rash" of lost dogs, and dogs bolting on transfer from rescue to foster/adoptive home, we thought it timely to republish "HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR PET".... please consider adding below to adoption contracts... 

LOST PETS - PREVENTION IS KEY!

- Do not leave pets tied up in public places, even for a minute. They get stolen, or, they can get spooked by a noise or person, get themselves loose, and run.

- “Terms of Adoption” should include never leaving animals unattended outside to prevent kidnappings, as well as a requirement for notifying rescue immediately if pet goes missing.

- Print C4P Amber Alerts for Lost Pets info and provide to new guardian on adoption.

- Use extra caution and secure pets when storms are coming / “firecracker” nights.

- Don’t leave pets unattended in back yards – they are prey to large birds and coyotes.

- Have a recent picture on hand, including size relationship (beside a person or object) - as proof of ownership

 - Always have visible identification on your pet in form of name tag with your direct phone numbers and also city license tag - you may eventually need the City’s help!

- Always have a back up microchip – and make sure the issuing company has updated information every year. Consider leaving chip info in the rescue’s name, with secondary emergency contact info, not in adopter's name.

- Make sure pets’ collar and/or harness is snug and cannot slip over its head.

- Make sure there are no holes under fence; that fences are in good repair and there is nothing against the fence that a dog can jump onto, and then over the fence.

- With rescues, take them out into yard on leash for the first couple of weeks to ensure they are comfortable. Gradually increase their knowledge of their new neighbourhoods, but keep them on leash until you are absolutely certain they are under “voice control”.

- Because some of rescues tried to bolt out the door when first brought home, keep the leash attached to them for up to a week.  That way if they do get out, there is a leash for someone to grab if they can get close enough.  And just as important is if they do get away, a dog at large with a leash attached is going to be noticed so reports of the dog will come in much sooner and you will know that it is your rescue. 

- When adopting dogs out, make every effort to familiarize them to the new area before they go there permanently.

- Use management measures to ensure pet doesn’t bolt through door (baby gates, tethers, crates, leashes).

- Teach “sit stays” at the door, to habituate pet to not react negatively or impulsively to an open door.

- When walking your (new) dog, have a really good grip on the leash with both hands - one guiding the dog, and another with your thumb/hand through the loop  in case dog bolts. 

- Have a list of sources for live traps and their sizes so you know where to get them quickly.

- Maintain a list of vet clinics (address, telephone number, email, fax) by area. 

- Eventually, you will need to go on vacation, be away from your pet. Plan in advance how this will play out. Acclimatize them to a local kennel, or, acclimatize them to your mother in law’s place – wherever you are going to place them temporarily, make sure it is not an “unknown” and therefore threatening environment.

- Consider a GPS dog-tracking collar. System is designed for pet owners to quickly and accurately locate their pets by using GPS technology. It consists of a portable, handheld receiver that displays information received from the GPS-enabled collar on your dog. The handheld device uses a LCD screen to show the location and direction of your pet every few seconds and shows you the dog’s current movements.  

Tracking Systems can also be used to set up an invisible fence. When your pet breaks the barrier the GPS Dog Collar Tracking System will send you an audible alert. This invention is a real savior for owners of those escape artists! Websites for reference: www.garmin.com/products/astro

Found Cat - (Larwood, Gradwell, Brimley, Brooklawn)

I can't post on your FB wall but I found a small female cat this morning at 7:30am  She is de-clawed, fixed, has a collar.  Very pretty but extremely dehydrated.  Looks like she has been outside for a month or so.  How do I get this onto your FB profile? I found her "barely walking" at the bottom of Eastville.  This is close to Larwood, Gradwell, Brimley, Brooklawn.  I think she may have come up one of the ravines from the bluffs.  She is certainly a pet and is well behaved in our home.  She is drinking and eating.  I took her to a vet this morning and the vet said she should be fine.  Help!

Lost Dog - Kilo (St. Clair/O'Connor)

Earlier this week we had an unfortunate incident occur when a foster dog ran away from his temporary home. That pooch is Kilo, a black and tan-coloured mastiff mix, weighing approximately 30 kg (pictured). He was lost in the St. Clair and O'Connor area in Toronto.

Three-year-old Kilo was surrendered to us in early March with a broken leg which has been healing well. He also suffers from a torn shoulder, which is why he was put in foster care.

Kilo's foster parents as well as staff and concerned Toronto Humane Society supporters are now on the search for him but we need your help.

Here are some ways you can assist:
� If you see Kilo, please contact us and let us know where you spotted him. (Do not attempt to restrain the dog yourself).
� Spread the word to your friends and family and ask them to be on the lookout for Kilo or if they think they've spotted him.
� If you or someone you know will be out and about this weekend print out a photo of Kilo and ask people in park or other common dog walking areas if they've seen him.
� Go virtual with this message and again share Kilo's details with your friends and family and ask them to help with the search.

If you or someone you know has spotted Kilo or has any information on the dog's whereabouts please contact the Toronto Humane Society. During operating hours you can reach us at 416-392-2273 (press "0" for the front desk). If your call is after hours, please leave a message at ext. 2145 or 2248.

Preventative measures
If you are a dog owner yourself, the Toronto Humane Society would like to take this opportunity to remind you of tips that can help prevent your animal companion from running away from home.

These include making sure your yard is escape-proof; if any spaces need to be fixed, don't delay. Train your dog to respect your commands; no dog should be allowed to bolt out a door, even to a fenced area. Teach him to sit while the door is being opened, and to not go out until you give him a release. Your dog should also wear a visible tag at all times with your contact information on it.

Found Cat - Victoria Park/Eglinton

I found the cat this evening hiding under a car. Seems to be an indoor cat. Older. Was extremely thirsty and hungry. Has used the litter box already. Ran into the bath tub and stared at the faucet until I ran the water to drink.

 

Mostly white in colour.

Very friendly.

Found in the Victoria Park/Eglinton area.

Have a safe haven for the next day or so, trying to avoid taking it to the shelter.
