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; 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.

foster family. He wants nothing
more than to be near people.

loves adults but does tend to
get nervous around young
children, so he would be best

Hip Dysplasia is a very common disease that affects many breeds of dogs. This disease is caused
by the abnormal development of the hip as the puppy develops and grows. Genetics are the major
contributing factor but trauma or other injuries to the hip can also contribute. Hip Dysplasia leads to
loosening of the hip joints and deformation of the joint. This leads to arthritis, pain and muscle weakness.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO
HELP DRIVE SHELTER/
RESCUE DOGS
Every week there
are lifesaving
transports that go
through Knoxville/
East Tennessee.
These transports carry one or
more dogs or puppies to places
where rescue groups have
available space, or even where a
forever home is waiting. Each
transport is a series of “legs” in
which volunteer drivers each
give a few hours on a weekend.
Gas money is the only cost,
though it is sometimes provided if
someone wishes to drive
but cannot afford gas.
Expires March 31, 2011
This is a wonderful way to make a
real difference and save the lives
of dogs that would otherwise likely
be euthanized. For more
information, contact Caryn at
carynaddo@aol.com or 865-5488215. References and background
check are required.

Donnie is a larger Basset who
is as gentle as a lamb and loves
the people in his foster home. He
is just a little wary of cats and
other dogs, but is good with
them. He does not have a mean
bone in his big ole body. He’s
also a smart guy, and his foster
Dad says he has a very nice
gait, meaning he looks very
handsome and elegant when he
walks, like a show dog.

ask much from life, just ear
rubs, treats, and a sofa to
snuggle on. Oh, and your
total adoration.

classes and teach her with
loving kindness.
Rosie is a sweet,
affectionate, active 6 year
old who is blind in one

Reduced Cost Spay/Neuter Resources and Subsidies for Low-Income Citizens
WHY SPAY & NEUTER?
SPAYING & NEUTERING SPARES THE LIVES OF
UNWANTED PETS! Only 1 in 9 cats and dogs born in
the U.S. will find a home. The rest will be destroyed
because nobody wants them.
SPAYING & NEUTERING CALMS YOUR PET!
Altered animals make more affectionate companions.
Altered animals are less likely to bite because they are
more even-tempered.
SPAYING & NEUTERING INCREASES YOUR
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
by female dogs during the heat cycle.
