Pippin is a 20 lb., 1
year old male Whippet/
Terrier who is the King
of Cute! He is
affectionate and loves
to snuggle. Pippin is
housetrained, cratetrained, and leashtrained. He likes other
dogs and is curious
about children. With
sighthound instincts, he
loves to chase and
needs a fenced yard. Pippin runs with his foster mom in
Lakeshore Park, and would be a great candidate for agility
training.
To meet Pippin, contact Mary:

Cover Girl:
Sweet Tara is a precious red-brown adult Chow
or Husky mix. She has had a happy home for a
long time, but when her family moved to the city,
she didn’t adjust well. Tara felt confined in her
small city yard, and has played Houdini for a
year trying to find enough running room. She
always came back home, but her family has sadly
concluded that Tara is telling them she just isn’t a
city girl. Tara is a beautiful, gentle spirit who will
be an easy keeper in the right environment. She
loves other dogs and will be a wonderful playmate. She is undemanding, funny, and very, very smart. To meet Tara, contact Carmen at 865335-6510 or cjtrammell@comcast.net.

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

Boss will be 3 years old in
May. He raced at 71 lbs. Boss
has done well living with
Greyhounds and a small dog
and visiting with a cat. He's a
sweet goofy boy that likes his
people and will make
someone a wonderful
companion. Boss has
learned about stuffies and fluffy
dog beds, but he will still go
into his crate when asked.
Boss entered our obedience
training program and did very well. He enjoys performing and
likes attention. Boss is a really sweet boy.
Dash is 3 years old.
He is getting used to
the idea of retirement
at an early age, and
thinks hanging out
might be a great job
for him. Dash has
received basic
obedience training
and did very well. He
is now learning house
manners.
Star is a female Greyhound, who will be 4
years old in July. She is

babies to walk by letting them
hold on to him. He has loved
his people but found himself
abandoned to have his life
ended. However, a caring
vet preformed a needed
dental and declared Zev in
good health. Do you have
love enough to let this senior
boy find a place in your
heart and home?

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month
Each year in the United States, approximately 4 million homeless cats
end up in our animal shelters. By adopting, you’ll be saving a life.
Adopting a cat will enrich your life and theirs.
* Having a cat can reduce your blood pressure and prevent heart disease.
* Cats will keep you entertained with their playful antics.
* Cats are very affectionate and love to cuddle with you.
* Cats do not need to be housebroken, using the litter box comes naturally.
* Cats are very clean because they bathe themselves all the time!
* Cats are independent and can be left alone while you are at work.
* Cats don’t need a lot of space which makes them perfect pets for apartments.
* Cats get plenty of exercise indoors playing with you.

Feral cats. Abandoned by their human families or simply lost, unsterilized housecats eventually band together in groups called colonies. Without
human contact for a prolonged period, the cats revert to a wild state. They make homes wherever they can find food. Mothers teach their kittens to
avoid humans and to defend themselves. Their numbers steadily increase, even if meager scraps are all the food to be had. No one knows exactly
how many feral cats live in the United States, but the number is estimated in the tens of millions. They are often wrongly portrayed as disease-ridden
nuisances, responsible for endangering native species. As a consequence, feral feline communities are frequently
rounded up and because they have had little or no human contact and are thus unadoptable, they are killed.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a comprehensive plan where entire feral colonies are humanely trapped, then
evaluated, vaccinated, and neutered by veterinarians. Kittens and cats that are tame enough to be adopted are placed
in good homes. Adult cats are returned to their familiar habitat to live out their lives under the watchful care of
sympathetic neighborhood volunteers. TNR works. Cat populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviors
associated with breeding, such as the yowling of females or the spraying of toms, are virtually eliminated. Disease and
malnutrition are greatly reduced. The cats live healthy, safe, and peaceful lives in their territories. Learn more about feral
cats and TNR at www.alleycat.org.

PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION
FOR COMPANION ANIMALS
Recommendations from the
Knoxville Veterinary Medical
Association
Companion animals are social creatures by nature. They need
companionship and regular interaction. They need physical
exercise, medical attention and social interaction.
Exercise is essential to both the mental and physical well-being of
a pet. Every healthy pet needs to be able to walk, run, or play on
a regular basis. Continuous physical restraint such as tethering
by a chain, cable, rope, or continuous confinement in a pen, is
counter to an animal’s need for mental stimulation and physical
exercise, and is not proper care.
Lack of regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation may
lead to behavior problems such as self-mutilation, destructive
behavior, fear, and aggression.
A pet needs a relationship with at least one other living being.
Chronic isolation is unnatural and unhealthy for a companion
animal. Human contact that occurs only when food and water are
replenished does not constitute proper attention.
A companion animal without companionship may be a lonely,
bored, depressed, or anxious creature. A companion animal that
has neither human nor animal companionship may become sick,
anti-social, or both.
Pets also need medical attention from a veterinarian on a yearly
basis. Vaccines must be kept up to date in the best interest of the
pet and public health.
Companion animals without routine medical attention may harbor
infections transmissible to people or other animals. They may
have unknown painful diseases affecting their everyday lives
and ultimately leading to suffering and death. A pet owner should
establish a relationship with a veterinarian to keep a pet healthy,
prevent disease, and treat disease that may occur.

UNWANTED PETS! Only 1 in 9 cats and dogs born in

Altered animals make more affectionate companions.
Altered animals are less likely to bite because they are
more even-tempered.
PET’S SAFETY! Neutered males are less likely to
roam, run away, or get into fights. Spayed females are
less likely to attract unwanted animals into your yard.
SPAYING & NEUTERING EXTENDS YOUR PET’S
LIFE! Altered animals live longer, healthier lives.
Female cats and dogs have reduced risks of uterine,
ovarian, and breast cancers. Male cats and dogs have
reduced risks of prostate cancer and disorders.
SPAYING & NEUTERING RESULTS IN A
CLEANER HOME! Neutered cats are less likely to
spray and mark territory. Spaying eliminates carpet
stains from bloody fluid passed
