Spring is on the way, and countless individuals and families are thinking of making a fresh start with a new pet. What should they first know about:
• Finding an animal companion appropriate for their home and lifestyle?
• Various pets—including those previously abused, neglected, abandoned, or seriously injured—awaiting rescue and adoption?
• Avoiding the horrors of puppy mills and backyard breeding sites, where greedy companies and even your neighbors may irresponsibly over-breed dogs and cats? Get the answers for your listeners, along with animal adoption advice that could save lives, when you interview acclaimed pet expert Diane Pomerance, Ph.D. She’ll inform future pet parents about:
• Steps to researching the origins and background of any animal you’re thinking of adopting.
• Her personal story of adopting over 40 rescue dogs. These much-loved pets recovered and flourished, and rewarded the Pomerances with decades of devotion.
• Rescue groups, animal welfare organizations and shelters that can help you find the ideal pet.
• Preparing for your new family member and this lifetime commitment. Learn about socialization, animal behavior, diet, vet costs and special needs a rescue pet may require.
• More about the people/pet bond.
Ask Dr. Pomerance for inspiring stories about therapy pets, and even animals that saved people’s lives!
