Save a life! Adopt a homeless Pet! Playful Jim Jim clearly likes to climb into things. In the morning, he will hang out with you in the bathroom while you get ready, sometimes climbing into the sink and lying on his back to chase water dripping from the faucet. He just loves to play! He chases his feathery toy and a laser pointer. Jim is a cute, cuddly fellow with a huge personality. He has never used his foster family’s furniture as a scratching post. He likes everyone, including the family dog who licks him all over. (Jim loves it!) He likes you to pet him when he eats and will come when you say “treat.” Jim usually sleeps with his tongue hanging out. You can even touch it and he won’t wake up. When he is sleeping nothing disturbs him! Based on size, temperament and the long tail, they believe he could be part Maine Coon. Interested?

Critter magazine is published monthly by Peaceful Kingdom, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. CRITTER MAGAZINE P.O. Box 9394 Knoxville Tn 37940 (865) 579-5164 cjtrammell@comcast.net www.peacefulkingdom.org CRITTER TEAM Laura Buenning, Jessica Grizzle, Juan Noltenius, Tom Swain, Carmen Trammell, Pam Vandergriff, Heidi Weimer ADVERTISING Magazine space is no-cost to organizations or individuals caring for animals who need homes. Monthly business 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; underfunded shelters may instead 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.

He is quite the goof ball. Bill is a 2 year old Golden Labrador mix, with lots of energy to play. He loves chasing balls, playing with stuffed toys, and going on walks; though he needs some leash training to stop him from pulling too hard—so you will need to be strong, and strong minded. Bill Murray knows how to sit and shake on command and he’s very food motivated. All he wants to do is play and be yours. TVGRR is not sure if he is housetrained but Bill is a quick study, learning new things easily. This handsome boy gets along with dogs but not cats. He would love to be in a foster home or a forever home soon!

One of the most effective means to prevent this is proper training. The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley (HSTV) offers a new low-cost training program to help their adoptive community keep the commitments to the dogs they adopt. Group classes are $30 per class and limited to 3 clients. Classes cover a variety of common behavior and training issues. They are held 6 days a week, including mornings and weekends to provide flexibility for your busy lifestyle. Private in-home classes ($50 per class) are also available for dogs that may not do well in a class setting with other dogs. HSTV Adopters receive the first class free and then a $10 discount per class. Non HSTV adopters are also welcome. See humanesocietytennessee.com/training-2/ for more information. The HSTV training program is funded through a grant from the PEDIGREE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides grants to organizations that help dogs in need. Learn more about the PEDIGREE Foundation at www.pedigreefoundation.org. The Pantry For Feeding Pets (PFFP project) began to help people coming to local food pantries for food for themselves, who were also have difficulty feeding their dogs and cats. Often what happens is that dog and cat owners think they will have to abandon their pets, sacrificing the love and companionship of their animals because they cannot care for them properly. Pantry For Feeding Pets volunteers believe that just as no person in our community should go hungry, neither should their pets go hungry or be forfeited for lack of food. In March 2009, after soliciting for pet-food donations, PFFP began distributing dog and cat food to owners in economic need, shut-ins, and formerly homeless veterans. From January 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015, PFFP distributed 18,516 pet-food family portions. Serving the Knox County and surrounding areas, Pantry For Feeding Pets distributes free pet food to Senior Citizens, and low income families through Fish Hospitality Pantries.

After a total of three tail amputation surgeries and several months in a loving foster home, she has learned to enjoy life as a dog.
