but we can respond much faster if you send us an e-mail: rchshumane@yahoo.com
(inquiries
about cats) or laceyd1105@yahoo.com
(inquiries about
dogs) or rchs_amy@yahoo.com
(inquiries
about rabbits, rats, or other exotics).
Christmas
in July!
RCHS
has a desperate need for:
New
or gently used collars and
leashes
New
or gently used crates and
kennels (especially large ones!)
Heartguard,
Revolution,
Frontline, Interceptor (All sizes! Would
you be willing to donate one month’s worth from your own
pet’s supply?)
Foster
Homes Urgently Needed!
We have an immediate need for both dog and cat foster homes.
Remember, we do not have a facility and rely on a network of
foster homes to save lives. RCHS pays for all of our foster
animal's expenses, all we ask for is your time and love.

A
Pet's Ten Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years.
Any
separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want
of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for
my
well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't
lock
me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your
entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand
your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me,
remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or
uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the
sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old.
You too,
will grow old.
10.
On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you
can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there,
because I love you so. ALWAYS!
"The
greatness of a nation
and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are
treated." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
