Helpful Links
There are oodles of great
pet-related sites on the Internet, but we've chosen to narrow down our
LINKS list to just a handful of sites that pertain to the issues we're
most passionate about:
•
Pet Overpopulation
•
Spay/Neuter (especially
early-age spay/neuter)
•
Rescue/Adoption
•
Lifelong Pet Ownership &
Care (including providing for medical needs later in life)
•
Emphasis On The Need For
Behavior Training (puppies, mainly, but older dogs, too)
•
Pet-Friendly Rental
Housing
•
Pet Safety
In addition, here's a link
to the site of an animal communicator we've worked with and whom we
respect. Her name is Mary Marshall and her site is
www.medicinehorsewoman.com. Another person we've
found to be very helpful is energy healer Kathy Barr. Her site is
www.theheartsjourney.net. This sort of thing may
seem a bit "out there" to some, but believe me...we've found both of
these women to have extraordinary gifts. If you've got animal
behavior or health issues you can't get a handle on, we urge you to
contact these women.
As with any site's links to
other sites, we may not necessarily agree with every statement you'll
find on these sites, but we feel these are valid and credible sites and
deserve inclusion here.
 www.spayusa.org
This site includes educational info regarding
the rate of reproduction of cats and dogs, benefits of spay/neuter,
importance of early-age spay/neuter (which we practiced quite
successfully at our nonprofit spay/neuter clinic) and helps people
find spay/neuter resources in their area. The site also has
information and advice for starting your own spay/neuter program.
 www.pets911.com
By typing in your zip code, you can find local
animal "lost and founds," pet-friendly apartments & rental housing,
shelters and rescue groups, animal hospitals, veterinary emergency
clinics and spay/neuter resources. Another site where you can
find pet-friendly apartments is
www.apartments.com.
 www.alleycat.org
Possibly the best site for all things
related to feral cat management. This is a great organization,
and their mission ties in closely with our mission to control pet
overpopulation. (We lectured on feral cat management at a
statewide veterinary conference held at the Purdue School Of
Veterinary Medicine. We also helped broaden the programs in our
city for dealing with feral cat management, including helping get
feral cat management legalized and supported by the city.)
Another good site is
www.feralcat.com,
the site of the Feral Cat Coalition. You can also check out
www.indyferal.org, an organization with whom we've done
a lot of work.
