SPCA Of Wake County Slashes Pet Adoption Fees For The Holidays

The SPCA of Wake County is slashing adoption fees for adult dogs to help animals find homes for the holidays.

Adoption fees for adult dogs will be reduced by 50% through Dec. 31. All adoptions include spaying or neutering, vaccinations and microchipping.

A gallery of adoptable animals can be found online.The SPCA of Wake County, located at 200 Petfinder Lane in Raleigh, is open seven days a week from 11 a.M. To 6 p.M.

"Every dog deserves the joy of a warm home, especially during the holiday season," said Samantha Ranlet, communications manager for SPCA Wake. "By adopting, you're saving a life, and there's no better gift than providing love and comfort to a pet who's been waiting for a family of their own."

The Wake County Animal Center is also running a holiday adoption special.

Between Dec. 1 and Dec. 22, dogs are only $25 and cats are only $5. Every pet adopted from the Wake County Animal Center is spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.


Brandywine Valley SPCA's Annual Mega Adoption Event Helped Pets Find Their Forever Homes

GEORGETOWN, Del. – Families from around Delmarva, came to Brandywine Valley SPCA for their annual Mega Adoption Event, and many, went home with a furry friend.

Finding a New Home 

The event successfully helped a local father and daughter find a companion. Both Rod and Leanne Stotler know this will be a big investment. "We were going to look and see what was there, they all kind of call to you, but this one has my birthday. It's cute and seems to like me."

At the sale, families could get a dog or cat for only $35. Due to the size of the event, many volunteers worked to make the operation run smoothly. Bryanna Evans worked as a volunteer and said her job was meaningful.

"It's an amazing feeling, to see that connection between dog and person. You know they're going to have a great life with that dog."

The Stotler family already has a full house. Rod tells WMDT, that this is not their only pet "We have five cats: that's my daughter's thing. They seem to grow in our house."

However, their new puppy 'Turbo' fit the bill, and they can't wait to bring him aboard. "That will be interesting, we're going to give Turbo some time to adjust to a different setting. I think since the cats are bigger than Turbo, I think they won't be too scared."

With Christmas right around the corner, the family hopes Turbo can build a bond with their other pets.

"We can't wait to see him under the tree, all the cats and the dogs love sleeping under the tree. We're hoping Turbo does the same."

Felines vs Caines

Speaking of pets, the debate between dogs and cats has been a conversation for years, and during the Brandywine Valley SPCA event, it was put to the test.

Families walked through the rescue center to find their special furry friend. Some went to the cat section and others prioritized the dog area.

Operations Manager Laura Page tells WMDT, that there are distinct differences between the two pets. "If you want a place to rest and you had a bad day, get a cat, because they are like chamomile. Dogs are like Red Bull; they get you going and up in the morning."

Now as for the debate, people were drawn to what they liked the most. WMDT's Leila Weah was at that event and took home a furry friend of her own. Leila's says 4-month-old Aspen is fitting right in with the rest of the family.

And if you would like to rescue an animal, stop by the Brandywine Valley SPCA at 19022 Shingle Point Road Georgetown, DE 19947, or visit their website for more information.

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a...

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m...
