a regular basis is:
- Alfalfa Hay
- Straw for bedding
- Equine Senior
- Fly spray/masks
- horse wormer (feed through)
- Rabbit pellets
- Potbellied Pig food
WHAT WE USE, not from Olsen’s Grain
- Any cat or dog food which is donated to families and other shelters in need
- Blankets for special needs animals that arrive
- Toys for puppies, vaccines
- Corral panels, used rusty, dented, does not matter, can pick up
- Any farm equipment, water troughs, buckets, hoses, old tack
PUPPIES NEED ADOPTION
BIG PUPPIES BIG LOVE
Three of the sweetest puppies in the world!
Morning Starr was more than happy to help
with the shots. They were healthy, happy,
and huge! If you are looking for a big dog
then these puppies are for you. One is all
black, that is the female. The other two are
brown and white both males. Call Golden
Bone at 928-567-5555 if you might be interested in these large pups! Call Golden Bone
and ask about Snookie, Jackson or Spencer
or any of the other fine dogs for adoption.
FEED ASSISTANCE
HELPING ANIMALS IN NEED!
Morning Starr Animal Sanctuary has been helping pet
owners to feed their animals in these hard economic
times. Even out of state! We recently sent 30 pounds of
ferret food to a retired veteran on a fixed income in
Washington State. We gave 60 pounds of cat food to
another sanctuary. We are glad to help in a pinch! If
you know of someone who could use some pet feed to
get them through a hard month please have them call
Morning Starr or email. We want to
help keep pets out of shelters and in
their homes with their loving families.
Many people are struggling these days.
No animal should go hungry!
Let us help!

IT’S HOT!!
Heat stroke can occur when our pet's temperature reaches above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature the body's immune system begins to go haywire and their
organs and blood begin to malfunction.
Death can quickly occur without lowering
their temperature and correcting any other
problems that can arise. Typically animals
with heat stroke stems from two common
scenarios. One, the animals were left in the
car, even with cracked windows. Secondly,
animals that are kept outside without
adequate shade or water.
Both of these situations are
very common and extremely
bad for your pet's health.
MORNING STARR JUST HAS
TO GET INVOLVED
Your donations have allowed us to
help with the cost of gas for a
rescue of 3 blind goats in Colorado, give some dog and cat food to
a rescue and to give vaccinations to
3 puppies for another rescue!
Thank you for giving!
Remember if you give now you can
receive this cute charm!
HELPFUL HINTS!
Aggression in Cats!
Most common type of aggressive behavior is play aggression, which is normal for
the young of all mammals. For cats, play includes stalking, pouncing, and
fighting. A young cat may hide in a corner and then stalk, chase and pounce on
an object or person! Kittens normally play with each other, with their mother and with a variety of moving objects. If none of these are available, they will treat humans arms and legs as playthings.
t
It is important to teach kittens an acceptable way to play right from the beginning. If possible, take home
two kittens so they can fulfill their need to play with each other. If this is not feasible, then direct the kitten to “fun” toys such as long strings (don’t let your kitten swallow it!) or ping pong balls. This will help
minimize those secret ambushes, and prevent you from becoming, in effect, a big squeaky toy. Always
keep these toys, especially the ones with strings, away from your cat when you are not around to supervise.
Many people misinterpret play as a sign of serious aggression. Playful cats “attack” silently and do not
typically break the skin when they bite. Seriously aggressive and potentially dangerous cats often hiss or
growl and bite more severely. Using a water spray bottle to keep the cat away is sometimes helpful. Hitting a cat is not recommended since it often causes a defensive reaction, may lead to aggression, and is
inhumane.

BITTER SWEET EXERIENCE
Sometimes it doesn't always go the way we want.
Morning Starr took in a very little Chihuahua who had
just given birth to 3 very large, for her, babies. Unfortunately the puppies did not survive.The little Chihuahua
stayed with us for a while and recovered from her caesarian operation that she had to have. She is now back with
her owners. She is also spayed so
she will never have to go through
that again.
We miss you little one!

Many different kinds and sizes. Lots of mini’s and babies.

In fact it’s a SNAP!
If you want to spay or neuter your pet or maybe some cats that
are just hanging around we can help assist you with our Spay
Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)! Here is a list of Veterinarians who have our SNAP applications on hand: Montezuma
Vet Services in Camp Verde, Tumbleweed Vet Clinic in Cottonwood and Jerome Humane Society in Jerome. You can also
download our application on our website on the home page. If
you are a Senior, 65 years or older assistance is a slightly larger
amount.
