ATTENTION: Urge North Carolina's representatives to support the tax deduction for pet care expenses The HAPPY bill, or Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years (HAPPY) Act H.R. 3501 will allow pet owners to deduct pet care expenditures up to $3500 per year. This could come as a great boon to many pet families who suffer under great burdens keeping their pets healthy. Many who have pets in their families have discovered the total costs of vet bills, and when that pet gets sick it can become extremely difficult to carry on in this economy. U.S. Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) introduced the bill this past July 31st, 2009. Who knows, maybe pet families will see some ease of financial needs
ATTENTION Your pet or any homeless or lost animal that you find cannot be delivered directly to the Friends For Animals Adoption Center on Kirksey Dr. All incoming animals must go to Animal Control first ( the dog pound below FFA). Friends For Animals goes to Animal Control and saves as many animals as space will allow at the adoption center...which is limited . All adoptions must go through Friends For Animals. Maybe one day no more adoptable pets will have to die...maybe one day we can save them all...maybe... one day.
Dog Licenses available at Animal Control on Kirksey Drive below Friends For Animals Adoption Center / Shelter. $4 and proof of rabies vaccination (the number) is the only thing required. Annual pet tax: (pay to Sheriff's Dept / Animal Control) $10 for fertile pet and $4 for spayed or neutered. Five or more dogs in a kennel (confined in an enclosure) are $5 each for the first five ($25) and $1 each additional.

2nd chances and new beginnings
Friends For Animals found what at first looked like a dead puppy on the back of the truck down at animal control. The puppy was starving and all beaten up, physically and emotionally devastated.. Animal Control was literally in the process of pulling up the needle to mercifully end the puppy’s suffering ... it could not stand and would not eat. At that moment, we knew we could not walk away. Read more on Ug here...
All this little fellow had ever known was hunger and pain and cold, and he still is so sweet and trusting. So Dr. Chuck Zickus said he would call Dr. Anton at Healthy Petz and we could go over to his (Dr. Anton’s) clinic to x-ray and see what we are working with. FFAHS Representative, "I held him and rocked him and told him we could do this." (Dr. Anton and Dr. Zickus do so much to help out Friends For Animals ...THANK YOU!)
Each day he is changing into a curious, happy puppy. But he needs HELP. Right now, Ug is NOT available for adoption at this time. Update on Ug. Ug has now survived a bout with Parvo (Thanks to Dr. Sam Pearson and Morganton Animal Clinic). After removing the excess broken bones we have decided he is healing well so his jaw will not have to be wired. He will just have a "soft jaw that sets crooked. Ug also has what appears to be demodex mange. This baby WANTS to live! UPDATE: Dr. Mark McMahon (Burke Animal Clinic) will be removing another bone from inside Ug's mouth. You might remeber that Dr, McMahon is the same vet that performed surgery on Phantom, the rescued pit bull's face. Where there is love...there is hope.

Don't forget to stop by Animal Control below us on Kirksey Drive to check out the pets on death row. These pets are euthanized if not claimed or rescued. If you see one you want to adopt, Friends For Animals can rescue the pet for you so that you can adopt it. It hurts us terribly that approximately fifteen to twenty five animals are euthanized daily at the Animal Control shelter due to too many homeless animals and not enough room to save them all.
