CAPS Rescue Fund
The CAPS Rescue Fund benefits from your support. CAPS has rescued a number of puppy mills dogs during its investigations of USDA licensed facilities. We have placed most of these dogs in wonderful homes. A few older dogs are in long-term foster care, and CAPS is responsible for the cost of their care. Not only will your donation help with the expenses for the foster dogs, but it will also help cover veterinary bills, including spaying and neutering, for additional dogs that we rescue from puppy mills.

Rimadyl - What is Rimadyl? - Companion Animal Protection SocietyWritten by Super User
What is Rimadyl?
Rimadyl, manufactured by Pfizer, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis) in dogs. It is commonly prescribed for older dogs. Other commonly known drugs in the same class include Deramaxx, Aspirin and Advil. Carprofen is the active ingredient in Rimadyl. Although it may provide relief to some dogs, it has been connected with serious side effects that include decreased blood supply to the kidney, platelet deactivation and stomach ulceration, occasionally resulting in death.
For a little more background please check out the FDA report update: CVM Update - Update on Rimadyl and also The Senior Dogs Project - Rimadyl: News, Views, & Advisories.
Rimadyl has made the headlines several times. See several relevant news articles at:
- I-Team: Rimadyl - CBS4boston.com
Even painkillers for dogs have serious risks - USA Today
What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?
The symptoms for which Rimadyl might be prescribed include:
- a reduction in the dog's activity level (early sign)
- less playful
- less interest in his/her favorite games
- reluctance to climb stairs
- lameness or limping
Rimadyl warningsThe treatment of animals as well as the manufacture of pharmaceuticals are businesses. When risks are attributed with a drug or medication, that risk information should follow a communication path from the manufacturer to the veterinarian (in the case of Rimadyl) and finally to the consumer, on behalf of the companion animal. To the consumer this should come in the form of an information sheet and hopefully a verbal explanation. When this communication path fails, be it for Rimadyl or other drugs such as Deramaxx, the dog is at risk. Much information can be found on the internet regarding Rimadyl, Deramaxx, and even Proheart 6. See Rimadyl on Google.
Labeling and repackaging
Manufacturers are responsible for providing a label or printed information describing a drug and possible associated risks. It sometimes happens that veterinarians repackage drugs into smaller containers and the label does not get passed on to the consumer. In this case the companion animal owner should be asking about the information sheet as well as the drug itself.
Selecting a veterinarian
If you are a new companion animal owner and have not yet selected a vet, ask how he/she treats pain. Try to get a feel for whether your future vet is knowledgeable about Rimadyl, Deramaxx and some of the other drugs which have received undesirable reviews. When in doubt, Google it.
If you have had a dog treated by a vet who prescribed Rimadyl, think back to how the interaction went. Did the veterinarian communicate to you the risk information and/or provide for you a fact sheet concerning the drug?. Be informed of generic names such as carprofen. If your veterinarian has prescribed Rimadyl, did he/she also do a pre-screen for preexisting conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease or tendency towards gastrointestinal ulceration? Just as these are red lights, there should also have been a discussion around performing regular blood work to ensure that organs are working correctly and the dosage is appropriate for your companion's metabolic rate.
Deramaxx - What is Deramaxx? Is Deramaxx dangerous? - Companion Animal Protection SocietyWritten by Super User
What is Deramaxx?
Deramaxx is a pain-reliever developed for dogs by Novartis Animal Health Products. It is referred to as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Although it may provide relief for some dogs, it has also been connected with serious adverse reactions and has been linked to side effects that include (but are not limited to) vomiting, anorexia, depression/lethargy, weakness, anemia and in more extreme cases, death. For a more detailed list of side effects, please visit:
For an FDA chronology check out: Dog Owner Continue To Cite Problems With Deramaxx - CBS4Denver.com
I-Team: Potential Deadly Danger For Pets - CBS3.com
Vioxx Debate Echoed in Battle Over Dog Drugs - Washington Post
Even painkillers for dogs have serious risks - USA Today
How much is enough?
Your companion animal is not capable of clearly communicating to you how much medicine is enough. With fast metabolizers, the administered dosage should clear the system in a reasonable timeframe, whereas with a slower metabolizer, the drug, Deramaxx in this case, may take excessive time, far beyond what is expected to clear. This can bring the concentration up to toxic levels and upon administration of the next dosage, send Deramaxx to an even higher level of concentration.
Be informed, make sure your vet is informed about Deramaxx
Veterinarians and companion animal owners should be informed in advance of the potential side effects and adverse reactions of Deramaxx . If your dog has liver or problems, avoid Deramaxx at all cost, regardless of whether the animal is a fast or slow metabolizer. If you are a new companion animal owner and have not yet selected a vet, ask how he/she treats pain. Try to get a feel for whether your future vet is knowledgeable about Deramaxx , Rimadyl and some of the other drugs which have warranted undesirable publicity.
If you have had a dog treated by a vet who prescribed Deramaxx , think back to how the interaction went. Did the veterinarian communicate to you the risk information and/or provide for you a fact sheet concerning the drug? Another thing which can happen to further confuse the situation is repackaging Deramaxx , Rimadyl, or other drugs into smaller vials. Be aware that many drugs such have generic names as well (carprofen for Rimadyl).
Carmen's Column - Companion Animal Protection SocietyWritten by Super User
Carmen's Story
CAPS rescued Carmen, a Chihuahua-terrier mix in 1996. She was living on the streets of Arenales, Puerto Rico. Due to demodectic mange, she was missing half of her fur and had infected, bloody sores on her body. Her stomach was bloated because she had given birth to puppies (two died and local people took the other two). Tom Howard photographed Carmen in front of a warehouse. He noticed that she was weary and dejected. Mr. Howard showed Carmen's photo to his wife, Deborah, the president of CAPS. He told her about the overwhelming number of unwanted dogs - Puerto Ricans call them "satos" - on the island.
Ms. Howard arranged for Nilsa Diaz from the Ciudadones Pro Animales de Aquadilla to rescue Carmen and take her for veterinary treatment. Several months later, Mr. Howard went to Puerto Rico to bring Carmen back to the states. Mr. Howard and Carmen appeared at a press conference that addressed the plight of the satos. Carmen's story appeared in a Puerto Rican newspaper.
Mr. Howard wanted to find a home for Carmen, but this feisty sata had other ideas. She became very attached to Mr. Howard and he couldn't part with her. Carmen is also very partial to her Abuela (grandmother) because she speaks Spanish to her and takes her for walks. Carmen spends her days sitting next to Mr. Howard in his home office and sunbathing. A true Puerto Rican, she is partial to warm, sunny weather. Her evenings are spent sitting right next to Mr. Howard on the recliner while he watches television and reads the newspaper. Mr. Howard tucks her in at night in her dog bed, which of course is situated on his side of the bed.
The Save A Sato organization, which rescues Puerto Rican street dogs and places them with no kill shelters on the mainland U.S., has excellent in-depth information on satos.
Beatrice's Holistic Veterinary CareWritten by Super User
Beatrice's Holistic Veterinary Care
I first met Beatrice, a one-year-old, spayed female Basset Hound, in January 2004. Beatrice's primary problems were a chronic cough caused by mycoplasma pneumonia and a congenital elbow deformity. An internal medicine specialist was treating Beatrice for the pneumonia with doxycycline, an antibiotic. Her cough had already started to improve on the medication. Beatrice had also seen an orthopedic specialist, who diagnosed the elbow condition as luxation of the radial heads of both elbows
I examined Beatrice to provide an opinion about complementary and alternative treatment options for her health issues. In the veterinary hospital, Beatrice showed a bright and friendly attitude. On physical exam, she had several quarter-sized hairless patches on her back, right hip, and right eyebrow area. Her ears had some moderate brown discharge and smelled of yeast. There were still some crackly sounds present in her lungs during inhalation, indicating that the pneumonia was not fully resolved. Beatrice's elbows were severely dysplastic, and she walked with a slight limp.
I took a swab of discharge from Beatrice's ears and several skin scrapings of the hairless patches to look at under the microscope. The ear swab revealed copious malassezia, a type of yeast. Malassezia is part of the ear's normal flora but can cause inflammation (otitis externa) when present in excessive amounts. Dogs with long, pendulous ears (like Basset Hounds), or dogs with allergies are predisposed to this type of infection. The skin scrapings were strongly positive for demodex, a mite that resides in the hair follicles. Demodectic mange in a young dog is typically associated with a genetic predisposition and immunosuppression.
I recommended an integrative approach, using conventional medicine, herbs, supplements, and acupuncture, to address Beatrice's health problems. This included continuing the antibiotics prescribed for her pneumonia by the internal medicine specialist. Beatrice's guardian, Deborah Howard, was already giving her a Lactobacillus acidophilus supplement, which can help prevent any soft stools due to antibiotics.
Beatrice's elbow condition cannot be corrected using complementary or alternative treatments. However, acupuncture and chondroprotective agents can be used to manage pain and inflammation that may result from the deformity. I recommended a supplement called Myristol, which contains glucosamine, cetyl myristoleate, MSM, and hydrolyzed collagen. I also gave Beatrice an acupuncture treatment after the exam, using points to address the pneumonia and immune system deficiency as well as her elbow condition. Acupuncture may be used on a consistent or as needed basis to help control musculoskeletal pain.
For Beatrice's ears I suggested daily cleansing for one week with Dermapet MalAcetic Otic ear flush, a gentle solution that contains acetic and boric acid. This solution will safely clean the ears and eliminate yeast without irritation. I also recommended a topical treatment, Neem-Col spray, for the demodex infection of the skin. Neem is an ayurvedic herb that has antiparasitic properties. Moducare, a supplement containing plant sterols, was prescribed to improve Beatrice's immune system function. Anecdotal reports show that Moducare is helpful for dogs with demodectic mange. I also recommended supplemental vitamins C, E, and selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids to support her immune system and overall health.
Beatrice is currently doing well with the ongoing care she receives in the form of supplements, massage, acupuncture and the love and attention of her family!
Baby, Mama and Grandma Basset Thrive in New HomesWritten by Super User
Baby, Mama and Grandma Basset Thrive in New HomesAn Update on South Dakota Puppy Mill Dogs Rescued By CAPS
CAPS rescued three Basset Hounds, Grandma, Mama and Baby, from Tammi Namken's facility in South Dakota on May 1, 2003. Ms. Namken had sent Baby Basset to another puppy mill for use as breeding stock. She was returned after a couple of months because of her deformed elbows . Four-month-old Baby Basset had a bad cough when she was rescued. Ms. Namken gave her away because of her elbows. She no longer wanted 18-month-old Mama Basset because she had given birth to a puppy with deformed elbows. Ms. Namken also agreed to give CAPS investigators 8-year-old Grandma Basset because the dog was no longer producing large litters.
Kansas City-based Mid America Basset Rescue sent volunteer Jim Bly to South Dakota to pick up the dogs from CAPS investigators. Jim a nd his wife, Chris, fostered the three Basset Hounds. They recently formed their own rescue organization, Western Missouri Basset Rescue.
Baby Basset, now called Beatrice, had severe Mycoplasma pneumonia, which was not properly diagnosed until she came to Fort Collins just before Christmas 2003 to live with APS President Deborah Howard. She recovered from the pneumonia but has some scarring on her lungs. She has congenital luxation of the radial heads of both elbows.
Tim and Lori Sanders of Tonganoxie, Kansas saw Grandma Basset, now called Millie, on WMBR (ABC affiliate in Kansas City, MO) Television's Adopt-a-Pet segment. They went to see her at the Bly residence in Kansas City, Missouri. All of the rescue Bassets ran out to greet t he Sanders with the exception of shy Millie, who hid in a hallway. Despite Millie's fear of men, she seemed to like Tim who petted her in the hallway.
Eric Whitaker and Rebecca Goodvin adopted Mama Basset, now called Grace, on June 7, 2003. They drove from their home in Lincoln, Nebraska to the Bly home. They were immediately drawn to Grace, who was outgoing, enjoyed playing with the other Bassets and the Bly grandchildren and was very protective of Beatrice.
An Update on Beatrice (formerly Baby Basset)
By CAPS President Deborah Howard
Beatrice sunning herself on her deck
Beatrice in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Baby Basset, now named Beatrice, has been living with me since December 23, 2003. Her veterinary bills were more than $2,400. Beatrice had been coughing since we rescued her from the puppy mill, and the veterinarian in Kansas City gave her one antibiotic after another without suggesting that she see a specialist. When I spoke to this veterinarian on the phone, he said he thought it might be a chronic problem, b ut didn't know what it was. I knew at that point that it was imperative to get her to Fort Collins, which is blessed with some of th e finest veterinarians in the country because of the CSU Veterinary School. Luckily, Jim Bly is a truck driver, and he was heading to Denv er. CAPS member Christine Gavlick, who has two Bassets of her own, was kind enough to pick up Beatrice at the truck stop. Beatrice stayed at the Gavlick house for a couple of days.
An internal medicine veterinarian did a scope of Beatrice's lungs on the day after Christmas. She had mycoplasma in
the lungs, w hich caused pneumonia. The pneumonia is gone, but she does have some lung scarring. She runs up the stairs, chases our red heeler mix and wrestles with him. Beatrice is also seeing a holistic veterinarian, who recommended supplements and vitamins to boost her immune system an d help prevent arthritis. She had some minor demodectic mange, which responded very well to Neem-Col, an Ayurvedic spray.
Beatrice also has congenital luxation of the radial heads of her elbows. She walks with a limp and it is difficult for her to go on walks. She seems to do well running short distances because of the momentum she gets from all four legs. A top orthopedist from CSU recommended surgery to remove the radial head if her elbows become really painful. The surgery, which costs $2400 per elbow, isn't necessary at this point because she isn't experiencing any pain. Massage therapy – Beatrice has a pro bono canine massage therapist – and acupuncture seem to help quite a bit.
Beatrice is a very sweet, congenial dog who loves to hug, kiss and sit in your lap. She walked in the Fort Collins St. Patrick's Day Parade with High Country Basset Rescue. She wore a large stiff white bow with green shamrocks and insisted on walking at the front of the group of Bassets. Beatrice walked close to the sidewalk where people were sitting so that they could hug and pet her. Toward the end of t he walk, she started to slow down, but she refused to ride in a wagon and insisted on walking the entire length of the parade and even bac k to the parking garage. She recently participated in the 1.5 mile Annie Walk, which is a dog walk and fest to raise money for children&rs quo;s library books, and the First Annual Pooch Plunge. Dog were allowed to swim for two hours on the evening of August 22 at Fort Collin& rsquo;s City Park Pool, which was recently renovated into a children's pool. More than 450 dogs participated.
An Update on Grace (formerly Mama Basset)
As told to Deborah Howard by Rebecca Goodvin
Grace is getting along fabulously! She loves to go for walks and greet new people and dogs on the way. She's hard to resist. T here are people in the neighborhood who come out of their houses to greet her when we're walking by. There are several other Bassets in the neighborhood, and she gets very excited when sees them. Grace also loves going to the Lincoln Farmer's Market on Saturday mo rnings. She soaks in the smells, but most of all she likes to find a shady spot where lots of people will walk by and stop to scratc h her tummy and behind her ears.
We don't have children, but Grace is excellent with them. A little girl, about 2-years-old, at the Farmer's Market climbed out of he r stroller to pet Grace. The girl's mother asked if we had kids and commented on how sweet and calm Grace was with her daughter.&nbs p; Perhaps, Grace and children get along so well because Grace is kind of kid-sized anyway.
Our friend has been terrified of all dogs since a childhood dog-bite experience. We are slowly working on increasing her comfort wit h Grace, who is perfect for this kind of work because she knows when to be calm. Last week my friend took the big step of feeding Gr ace a biscuit. When Grace is older, we would love to train her for certification as a therapy dog so that we can visit children's hospital s together. Grace is in great shape. Routine visits to the vet indicate that she's a happy, healthy girl.
An Update on Millie (formerly Grandma Basset)
As told to Deborah Howard by Lori Sanders
Millie is afraid of children and most men, including our two young adult sons. We have a 4-year-old granddaughter who adores Millie, but Millie tries to avoid her. In fact, she once jumped over our coffee table to get out of the way of our granddaughter. She has been cl ose to my husband ever since he made friends with her at the Bly house, and they spend evenings together while I am at work. Millie was quite timid around a group of teenagers decorating our Christmas tree. She wanted so much to participate that she tried to overcome he r fear by hiding under the tree.
When Millie first met our St Bernard, Buford, she snapped at him and ran away. After that, they became good friends. Before Millie c ame to live with us, Buford was depressed because of the death of our Malamute and wasn't very active. He now romps and plays with M illie and tries to keep up with her in spite of his arthritis. It is amusing to watch them running through the house, especially whi le Millie is scooting around corners.
During a storm, Millie shivers. She will follow people, even my sons, around the house and sit with them. Millie will also overcome her sh yness and come up to people if they are petting Buford.

Maggie Rescues Herself
Florida Puppy Mill Dog Finds a New Home Thanks to a Dedicated CAPS Member
On a recent investigation, CAPS President Deborah Howard teamed up with the CAPS Lead Investigator Julie Workman to rescue a dog from a puppy mill in Florida. CAPS had received a complaint from a concerned citizen who had rescued a Jack Russell Terrier from this facility. The dog bit this woman's mother and an animal control officer and had to be euthanized.
The breeds at this small puppy mill included Chihuahuas, Hairless Chinese Cresteds, Shih Ttzus, St. Bernard mixes and Cocker Spaniels. The Cockers were the only dogs that were clean and well-groomed. The owner persuades the local shelter to give her purebred and mixed breed dogs. It is clear that animal control won't do anything about the puppy mill because of this arrangement. In addition, the sheriff's office told the woman who had purchased the Jack Russell Terrier that they had visited the facility and found no violations. In rural Florida, keeping dogs in dirty conditions is acceptable. The owner's fiance, who gave a tour of the facility to Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman, said that he and his fiance had nursed some of animal shelter dogs back to health. Unfortunately, some of these dogs had been used for breeding.
Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman noted many areas of concern. There was a lot of junk, old dilapidated cages, filthy open bags of dog food, fecal accumulation, filthy drinking water, chickens, turkeys, goats and sickly cats. The burn and garbage piles were overflowing with debris. The smell was very unpleasant.
Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman saw several matted Shih Tzus on soiled newspapers on the back porch. This area had feces and standing puddles of urine. The porch was enclosed with rough pieces of scrap boards and chicken wire. In some areas of the chicken wire, the dogs had chewed holes. This caused the wire to project in towards their faces. One Shih Tzu was missing an eye. Sharp wires and improperly constructed cages can cause serious injuries.
There were two tethered dogs. The man admitted that a tethered dog had been electrocuted during a lightning storm. Yet, the dogs seen by Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman were chained to very tall trees. He said that the large dog tethered in the woods away from the other dogs had saved his fiance's life. They were grateful to him and therefore provided him a home. We thought this was a very sad way to show gratitude.
During the CAPS visit, a mixed breed, Maggie, was running loose on the property. She followed Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman and tried to make friends with them. The man said that that a family had moved away and left Maggie in their care. Maggie had had eight puppies a couple of months earlier. Two of her puppies lived on the filthy back porch with the Shih Tzus. When the man brought out the puppies, Maggie immediately went to them. The man shoved her away and said that they weren't her puppies. One of the puppies looked just like her. He said he was selling the puppies for $25 each and added that a woman had given them the puppies to sell. The woman who had rescued the Jack Russell Terrier told Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman that she had seen Maggie with the eight puppies a few weeks earlier and that they were definitely her puppies.
When Ms. Howard and Ms. Workman were leaving the facility, Maggie ran out to the car and tried to get in. The man yelled at her to get back in the yard. Then, he told them that they could take her for free. At first, they declined because they didn't have a foster home for her. Maggie, however, was not about to let them leave without her. After the man went back into the house, she slid under the fence and tried to get into the car again. It was obvious that she wanted to get out of this place. Once Maggie was in the car, Ms. Howard frantically called all of her rescue friends in Atlanta, but they had too many dogs.
So, in the end, Maggie actually rescued herself. One of our dedicated and very generous members in Atlanta paid for Maggie's veterinary bills and found her a home with a very kind retired Episcopal priest. He had recently lost a mixed breed dog to cancer and was looking for a dog that needed him as much as he needed her.
Daisy's Last Six MonthsWritten by Super User
Daisy's Last Six Months Were the Best in Her Life
CAPS Investigators Rescued Older Great Pyrenees from a Life of AbuseBy CAPS member Sharon Koermer
Daisy's last six months were quite possibly the best in her life.
CAPS lead investigator Julie Workman rescued Daisy from the Lorton puppy mill, a USDA licensed facility in Illinois that supposedly has no Animal Welfare Act violations. Daisy, a nine-year-old Great Pyrenees, lived out the last six months of her life at Julie's home.
The emphasis during this time was on restoring Daisy's understanding of a more normal and stable home environment by giving her lots of love, understanding, and quality exposure to a range of family members and friends. But adjustment took patience and perseverance.
As an abused canine, Daisy was afraid of loud noises, especially thunder and fireworks. On July 4th of last year, for instance, she was so scared by the fireworks that she ran through a fence and badly scratched herself.
Last October, a tornado ripped through Julie's town. The atmospheric turmoil so frightened Daisy that Julie's husband lovingly picked her up and carried her down into the family's basement for shelter. Daisy's fear, manifested by her intense shivering and whimpering, was calmed as they rode out the storm together.
At first afraid of men, Daisy instinctively watched their hands and feet for telltale signs of impending abusive action. She was also afraid to eat in front of people.
Daisy's overall anxiety resulted in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which causes severe diarrhea and pain. Treatment for this disease consisted of steroids, tranquilizers and a very calm environment.
This did not mean that Daisy didn't make considerable progress. It wasn't long, for instance, before Daisy became housebroken. She went to the door to let Julie know that she had to relieve herself in the backyard.
After a couple of months, Daisy felt comfortable enough to spend the evening hours in the living room with Julie's husband while he watched the television.
She also learned to enjoy having Julie brush her fur and even visited a groomer a couple of times. The groomer, Lois Burton, fostered puppy mill Chihuahuas Salsa and Gordita and found a number of permanent homes for CAPS rescue dogs. Salsa lives with Ms. Burton. Daisy's professional grooming included a fancy hairdo, but bows were excluded - Daisy just wasn't the type.
One day, Daisy got a special gift from CAPS President, Deborah Howard. It was a rhinestone collar with daisies on it. Everyone thought it made her so pretty. Julie was unable to get a photograph of Daisy wearing her special collar.
On strolls through the neighborhood, neighbors would often come out of their house to greet this transformed dog, offering homage to Daisy's transformation from an abused puppy mill dog to a happy member of Julie's family. In honor of Daisy, a local bridge may be named after her.
Back inside the house, Daisy's restored appetite drove her to ingenious, albeit comical ways of accessing stored food. It wasn't long, for instance, before she got to know where the treats were kept. And with the help of a feline resident named Spike, willing to act as an accomplice in Daisy's food quest, they would sneak into the kitchen. Spike walked underneath Daisy until they reached their point of pillage. Once there, they would undertake a maneuver designed to recover what they understandably believed was rightfully theirs.
But perhaps the warmest, most heartening display - imbuing that extra measure of meaning to the whole process of rescuing abused animals like Daisy - was the love Daisy and Julie's grandmother showed for one another. Grandma loved Daisy, and she did everything she could to comfort Daisy, making a fluffy bed, a body pillow, and a blanket to ease her arthritic pain.
Sadly, and all-too-quickly, while Julie was on a three-week CAPS investigation in Minnesota, Daisy unexpectedly died. She was with Julie's husband and grandmother when she passed away. Julie's grandmother sat up with her all night long because Daisy was in distress. An autopsy revealed that her heart had been enlarged from either genetic and/or stress related-reasons stemming from abuse.
Julie's husband called her in Minnesota to tell her of Daisy's death. Julie couldn't come home because she had a number of facilities to investigate. Later that day, she rescued Gizmo from Reuben Wee's facility.
Julie still feels very upset that she wasn't at home when Daisy passed away, but she takes comfort in knowing that she gave Daisy the best six months of her life.
CAPS investigators also rescued Daisy's breeding mate, Buck, and two-year old offspring, Sassy, from the Lorton facility. Due to his advanced age, CAPS has been unable to find a foster or permanent home for Buck. CAPS has to pay $150 a month for Buck's boarding. Julie visits him on a regular basis. If you live in Illinois and would be interested in providing Buck with a permanent home for the last few years of his life, please contact CAPS.
Sassy, the daughter of Buck and Daisy, was a two-year-old female Great Pyrenees who had been severely abused by the husband. This abuse caused her to be timid/aggressive. Sadly, without the permission of CAPS, a woman from Great Pyrenees Rescue in Illinois had Sassy put down immediately after picking her up from Julie. CAPS had not signed a relinquishment form. The vet who euthanized her did not even check for contusions or broken bones. One can work with dogs that are timid/aggressive due to.fear.to change.their.behavior. Unfortunately, some.rescue people.don't.want to take the time to work with dogs like Sassy. The rescue woman could have returned Sassy to CAPS investigators.

Sometimes well-meaning patients show up for their office visit intending to pay the copay or other amount due but then realize they've forgotten their checkbook, credit card, or cash.
Make it easy for these patients to pay you as soon as they get home or back to the office. The Medical Group Management Association suggests you give them a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a payment form that indicates the amount owed and whether they will pay by check or credit card. Include on the form space where they can fill out credit card information.
When you hand the form and envelope to a patient, ask the person to mail the payment later that day. Most patients will appreciate how easy you've made it for them and will be happy to get the task "off their plate" as soon as they have their checkbook or credit card in hand.
Do you need help improving your front-desk collections? From copays to coinsurance to past-due balances, TMA Practice Consulting can show you how to improve collections through practice policies and staff training.

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
I like this story very much and agree with where everyone was sorted. Dawn and Luna friends? Fantastic, Luna is one of my favorite characters and the way the books made it seem she was treated in her house sounded very lonely.
You said something at the beginning about pairing requests? Can I still throw something out there?
Hermione/Fred(Weasley) for some reason I love them together and would love to read more fics with that pairing.
Can't wait to read more. :D

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
I laughed my ass off when Buffy not only told Whistler off but Whistler said 'I told you so' to the Powers. I groaned when they lost their memories and everything went AU. I chuckled when BUFFY was sorted into Slytherin, especially the reason why. I can't wait to see where you go with this. Sign me up!

That was awesome. Does this mean you are going to add more sooner?
Also I could see the SAM transfers(Scoobs) pulling pranks on the Weasley twins or Marauders level.
I hope Xander, willow, Buffy, and Faith say "f-you to the gryffindor/slythern rivalry.

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
Very interesting. How did the Powers manage this? Is Joyce truly resurrected? Might others (Jenny, Tara) be resurrected later as well? I think the Scoobies should be getting some reward, not only for what they did, but also compensation for what was done to them. What happened to all the other Slayers? Brainwashed? Mind-wiped? Or simply allowed to drift off once they had no leaders/organization? In any case, once the Scoobies get back their memories (and they probably will, what with Willow's mojo) The Powers are going to have to find some way to reward/compensate them.
I think the sorting was rather accurate. I can easily see Faith and her 'boytoy' causing (more) havoc in Gryffindor. Dawn will be a moderating influence in Ravenclaw, probably, a bridge between Luna and the others. Interesting that Luna appears to possess some true sight, since she recognizes Dawn. Willow is excellent for Slytherin, though Buffy is only there because she's needed. Still, they'll shelter each other - Willow will use her Slytherin talents and supposed pureblood status to cover for Buffy, and Buffy will use her bluntness, assertiveness and strength to stand up for Willow when Willow wouldn't. I do hope they'll manage to make friends with Daphne and Tracey, who seem to be the only ones not overtly prejudiced/mean/evil in the House in their year. Fact is, they probably work in the same way Willow and Buffy will have to - Daphne provides cover for Tracey as the pureblood patron, and Tracey is a loyal and needed ally, considering how the inner politics of Slytherin probably work.
And I may be reading too much into this, but is there a hint to Willow's lesbianism in that she does not find harry attractive? And if so, who will she be with with? Will Tara return, or will Willow find another 'bad girl' (see Kennedy), probably from Slytherin?
Can't wait to see more of this.
Comments from author:
how did the powers manage this? well if the monks could alter everyone's memories, couldn't the powers do the same, plus more? I don't see bringing jenny back cuz the Powers have put Joyce with Giles, and that would just cause unnecessary conflict.
I'm glad you caught onto Buffy's placement... now just think, was the hat heeding the Powers That Be there, or does he truly think she will do the most good there...
I've never seen Faith and Gryffindor, but when i pulled that from the hat, i thought it could work and be different. and Luna... well i love Luna :D ...
Daphne... well, you'll see more of her in the next chapter, perhaps get an idea of what she's like...
I do have a pairing in my for Willow... :) thats all i'm saying, thanks for readig

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
I sort of agree with the last review. Only when you think about it Buffy is very cunning. She is often underestimated by her enemies. I can easily see her in the house that values ambision and power. Willow well that is a no brainer given her past. Faith I could see as a Lion because of her path to redemption. I would have made Xander a badger. I agree with Dawn placement. I would have loved to see Cordy and Oz but as its the core group I love it. Bonus points for bringing back Joyce. Love to see Tara too. Anywat nice fic so far. I can't wait to see the pairings. Though I hope its a bit of a surprise as long as its not slash is should be fun. Well other then Willow because I would love to see her with Tara again oddly I love that match. Well Love her and Oz too.
Comments from author:
thanks for reading... at the beginning i said i picked everyone out of a hat... i had chosen before like years ago and truthfully, Faith is the only one who was placed elsewhere then where i originally had her, weird how it worked out...
AS for Xander.. while i did find him quite Loyal in that sense, you only need to think about what he would do when he was upset or hurt by his friends.. he would find a way to hurt them back and i never thought that was very hufflepuff-y...
Just keep reading, who knows what will keep happening :)

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
I agree with where you sorted most of the Scoobies, but Buffy never struck me as ambitious. Some cunning surely but I would have pegged her as a Gryffindor. Or should I be reading more into the hat's 'where you would do the most good'?
Comments from author:
EXACTLY!!!! remember.. the hat knows more then it lets on, and it DID say where you would do the most good... hmmmm

Review of chapter "Let's Sort It Out" from
Nice story you have going on here, I like the way you brought them into the Wizarding World, something I havn't seen before. Although when then really figure out what happened Whistler is going to wish Buffy only took his ribcage for a hat. :)
I even gave a little cheer with the first appearence of Draco as it seemed he was going to be the nasty git we all know him to be, a truely rare thing in fanfics. But then you had him be all nice and smiley with Dawn, which has me worried he's going to be a closet white hat.
And then there's Luna, one of my favorite HP characters (along with Tonks, Remus and Hermione), any fic only gets better with liberal doses of Luna thrown in. :)
Well done and thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing where you take things.
Comments from author:
Remember, he knows nothing about Dawn... he just sees, a perhaps pretty girl there...

Review of chapter "The Normal Life" from
I *hope* many changes will be explained sometime soon. You've skipped over A LOT!
So far, I'm still confused...
So every Scooby but Dawn regressed at least 3 years (and Dawn only 1)?
If both Buffy and Faith are still Slayers they haven't accidentally crushed doorknobs, glasses, or broken anything because they don't know their own strength yet?
Is Willow now strictly limited to a wand-wizard? No "thicken" anymore?
Do any of them have wands? (nothing mentioned so far)
What happened to the dozens/hundreds of other Slayers in the world? No more demons or Hellmouths anywhere anymore?
What about the destroyed Council headquarters and the massive amounts of monetary (and other) assets they would have built up around the world over many centuries? All gone now? No more New Council or Watchers to support all the newly created Slayers?
See what I mean? It's like the story suddenly jumped into a totally AU and completely and totally ignored everything else, even for the reader...
Comments from author:
i seriously thought i had replied to this... oh a year ago... so my apologies... but there's a reason everything completely skipped and you're going wtf????
Remember Season 5 of Buffy when Dawn was introduced, remember how, for a little while we were all going, huh? who is this girl and why is she Buffy's sister and why is everyone acting like this is normal and she's been there all along... was there some kind of spell?
hopefully now that i've returned to this, everything will become clear... but are you confused??? good

About Ellen
I found my way back to Judaism in my early 20's when I was on a spiritual quest. As a student in the environmental studies program at U.C. Berkeley, I was disturbed about the rampant environmental destruction I saw everywhere around me, and began seeking a spiritual and ethical understanding of the roots of the environmental crisis. After exploring other religious paths, I recognized I had been avoiding my own (having had uninspired Jewish experiences in my youth.) Judaism, I thought, like all enduring spiritual traditions, must have the wisdom I was looking for; I just had never encountered it. Fortunately for me, living in Berkeley--a rich and lively Jewish community--I met many like-minded seekers and began studying with Reuven Goldfarb of the Aquarian Minyan, who helped me make ecological sense of the Bible.
This was the beginning of a long journey that led me to found Shomrei Adamah, Keepers of the Earth, the first national Jewish environmental organization in 1988.
Shomrei Adamah
Shomrei Adamah's mission was to explore and illuminate the ecological roots of Jewish tradition and make them accessible to wide audiences. Shomrei Adamah viewed the ecological and agricultural dimensions of Jewish life as a long forgotten aspect of Jewish culture. Shomrei Adamah developed a range of educational materials including several books: Let the Earth Teach You Torah, Ecology & the Jewish Spirit and The Splendor of Creation (as well as other materials available on this site in the Shomrei Adamah Archives).
Shomrei Adamah spawned 10 local chapters and was supported by 3000 members; it produced a quarterly news journal, provided speakers for events, ran educational wilderness trips, captured the imagination of many Jewish scholars, rabbis, leaders, and teens and their families, partnered with all the denominational movements, received major grants from foundations including Nathan Cummings, Covenant and Meyerhoff (in addition to major environmental foundations including Rockefeller and Beldon), represented the Jewish community at numerous conferences on religion and environment, and attracted the attention of The New York Times, Newsweek, National Public Radio, Utne Reader, Sierra Club Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and numerous Jewish publications.
Particularly memorable were its large, joyful public Tu B'Sh'vat--Jewish New Year of the Trees--seder extravaganzas engaging some of the great local artists and musicians in Philadelphia, N.Y. and Boston (aired on National Public Radio) and its All Species Parade that kicked off Philadelphia's Earth Day 1990 festivities, attracting 30,000 people.
Shomrei Adamah's work permeated the Jewish community and touched the hearts and minds of thousands of Jews. With extremely limited resources, Shomrei Adamah was able to move mountains.
Shomrei Adamah closed in 1996, but its message continues to reverberate through its books and educational materials.
After Shomrei Adamah
After leaving Shomrei Adamah in 1996, I rounded out my career by working at the Jewish Federation of Philadelphia as Director of Community Building. This work gave me a deeper sense of the inner workings of the Jewish community and greater insight into the issues of Jewish identity. I developed several flagship Jewish identity and spirituality programs including Friday Night Alive and a Jewish Arts Salon. My work touched both unaffiliated Jews as well as those more engaged with the tradition.
In the last few years, faced with an environmental crisis that could pose the most awesome challenge that humanity has ever known, I have returned to the Jewish ecological work I inaugurated 30 years ago, refreshed and revitalized, and with a greater understanding of Jewish identity, Jewish continuity and Jewish theology, and a firmer grasp on the ecological dimensions of Judaism.
I believe deeply in the power of religion (and Judaism in particular) to help us lead richer, more meaningful lives, and the power of religious communities to help make the world a better place. Today I am working to deliver the Bible's deep ecological message through writing, teaching, speaking and consulting. I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue such compelling work at this unique moment in history.

Consumers find credit cards very useful for buying online, as well as in-person transactions, so that they do not need to use cash. This article gives you some tips and advice to follow to get the most out of your bank cards. It will help you avoid the common pitfalls and what to watch out for when using your credit card.
It's good credit practice to consistently maintain two or three open credit cards. This can help you to build a credit history and improve your credit score, as long as you are sensible with the use of these cards. However, if you have over three, a lender may think that looks bad when pulling up your personal credit bureau report.
Before closing any credit card, understand the impact it will have on your credit score. Sometimes closing a card can have a negative affect on your credit, so you should avoid doing so. For the oldest cards that make up a big chunk of your credit score, it is worth trying to keep them open.
Credit Card
Paying your credit card bill on time is one of the most important factors in your credit score. Paying bills late can harm your credit, and cost a lot of money. You can avoid being late by putting your credit card payments on an automatic schedule.
You should always repay the full balance on your card on a monthly basis. In a perfect world, you shouldn't carry a balance on your credit card, using it only for purchases that will be paid off in full monthly. Using bank cards and paying the balance in full builds up your credit rating, and ensures no interest will be charged to your account.
Set up a budget you can remain with. Even though you have a credit card limit your company has provided you, you shouldn't max it out. Understand the amount you can realistically afford each month so that you will not incur interest charges.
Watch out for changes to the terms and conditions on your cards. It is common for companies to change credit terms very often. Many times, the terms that are buried deep in legal language, particularly the changes, that are most important. Make sure you read everything so you know what to expect as far as rates and fees are concerned.
Never keep a written copy of your password or pin number anywhere. Memorize your password, and never share it with anyone else. Anyone will be able to access your account if they get hold of your written pin number, especially if it is stored with your card.
Don't give into someone else wanting to borrow your credit cards. Even if you're talking about a relative, you can never trust someone enough to deal with the potential consequences. If they were to charge more to your card than you agreed to, for instance, the friendship could be damaged forever.
Card Information
Use caution when using your charge cards online. Before entering card information online, ensure you're using a secure site. This is the best way to keep all of your personal information safe. Also, ignore emails that ask for credit card information, these are attempt to get your information.
It is possible that your interest rate can be reduced, so do not think that you are stuck with the rate you were given. Credit card issuers have several interest rates they can use at their discretion. If you are unhappy with your current interest rate, call the bank or company and ask for a lower one.
Credit Card
If you have damaged your credit, think about getting a credit card that is secured. A balance is required as collateral with these kinds of bank cards. What these cards let you do is borrow money from yourself and you will pay interest to do so. It isn't ideal, but it's the only method to improve your credit. Choose reputable companies when you sign up for secured cards. Eventually, the company may offer you a normal, unsecured credit card. That will do even more to improve your score.
Some individuals make decisions to not carry any credit cards, so as to completely avoid debt. This can be a mistake. It's important to have, at the very least, one card, so you are able to build your credit. Use the card for a few purchases that you can afford to pay off quickly. If you have no credit, your score is lower and lenders will not know whether you can manage credit.
Convenience might tempt you to use a credit card for everything, but it is better to pay for small purchases with cash. Lots of vendors set a minimum amount before you can use your credit card, which just pressures you to make extra purchases. Do not use a credit card for anything costing less than ten dollars.
In this article, you should have learned some great advice for using your bank cards. You must be very, very careful with your credit card spending. Make sound, careful financial decisions with your bank cards.

Earlier this week, Sony unveiled their newest gaming console, the PlayStation 4.
Sony didn't really reveal what the console would actually look like but it did reveal a glimpse of the Dual Shock 4 controller (pictured above) which features a touch pad, a motion control and a "share" button.
The console in itself has a PC-style GPU and 8GB of on board RAM. The new share button will allow you to record and upload highlights to your friends on your favourite social network sites.
One of the coolest things the PS4 features is that gamers can now test out a game for free via streaming before they purchase it.
Can't wait to get your hands on it? You'll have to wait till the holidays for its release.

Financial Services Modernization
PIA members support the states continuing as primary regulators of the business of insurance under a modernized system. Our existing system of insurance regulation is a national system that is state-based, which provides vital checks and balances to ensure financial stability, safety and soundness, and should therefore be preserved. PIA:
- Supports a modernized national system of state-based insurance regulation.
- Supports improving systemic risk regulation of banking, securities and capital markets.
- Opposes preemption by a federal insurance regulator, or federal preemption of state insurance oversight, whether optional or mandatory.
To learn more about PIA's position on Modern State Regulation of Insurance, read PIA's Insurance Regulation Issue Paper.(PDF file).
Antitrust Legislation
PIA supports current antitrust laws that prevent anti-competitive activities and provide for innovation and competition in the market.
The current system of state-based regulation of the business of insurance has consistently proven that it includes appropriate antitrust enforcement and ensures that anti-competitive activities remain illegal. Therefore, PIA:
- Supports continued enforcement of existing antitrust laws that prohibit anti-competitive activities including price-fixing and market allocation.
- Opposes any changes to or repeal of the McCarran-Ferguson Act.
- Opposes changes that would prevent innovation and competition in the market.
To learn more about PIA's position on Antitrust Legislation, read PIA's Antitrust Legislation Issue Paper (PDF file).
Professional Insurance Agents Insurance Foundation Publishes White Paper on the Future of Insurance Regulation
The Professional Insurance Agents Insurance Foundation has published a major white paper that addresses the current status of insurance regulation, its public purposes and benefits, and poses critical considerations and questions to be answered should current federal financial services reforms further engage in the business and oversight of insurance in U.S. markets.
The PIA Insurance Foundation engaged Mark Boozell, the former Director of the Illinois Department of Insurance (1995-1998) under Gov. Jim Edgar (R) to author the white paper entitled: Future of the Business Disciplines, Regulation and Oversight of the U.S. Insurance Marketplace.

Using a culturally and linguistically competent approach to all capacity building assistance (CBA) services, CAPS partners with transgender communities, communities of young gay and bisexual men, and communities impacted by incarceration to build their ability to mobilize and increase access to and utilization of HIV prevention services. To provide CBA to community-based organizations (CBOs) and communities, we develop collaborative relationships with members of racial and ethnic minority groups and others at high risk for HIV, and with agencies and professionals working within these communities.
CBA for CBOs
The Mpowerment Project — a three-day experiential training and customized technical assistance (TA), implementation and adaptation materials including web-based multimedia, individual work plan development, ongoing individual post-training support, and support for Mpowerment Project adaptations.
The Transitions Project — individualized CBA for CBOs adapting evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for transgender populations, transgender adaptation toolkits and training, and training to build HIV-prevention competency within the transgender community.
Street Smart — training and TA to successfully implement and adapt Street Smart programs for youth engaging in high-risk behaviors.
Monitoring and evaluation — materials, online or in-person training, and individualized CBA services on monitoring and evaluation.
Project START and other EBIs for correctional settings — TA on organizational readiness assessments, customized work plan development, evaluation planning and design, ongoing post-training support, and specialized assistance for working with incarcerated populations and within correctional settings.
CBA for Communities/Community Mobilization
CATCH — Coalitions in Action for Transgender Community Health (CATCH) is an evidence-based model developed by the UCSF Center of Excellence for Transgender Health to mobilize transgender communities and service providers within California.

A Measuring Stick For The Cloud
Remember when you were little and your parents would record your height by making a pencil mark on your doorframe every time you grew an inch or two? We thought it was time to do the same for the cloud computing industry, since growth is happening fast! To get the numbers we needed, Sungard Availability Services and EMC recently commissioned an important survey of businesses on their use of cloud technology and cloud recovery services. The study, conducted by IDG Research Services, queried 132 IT professionals in companies of all sizes – from less than 1,000 to more than 10,000 employees – throughout the U.S. Here's how the measurements worked out … Cloud Services: Undergoing a Growt … Read more

SunGard's team will be meeting customers and partners at booth #2322 to discuss SunGard solutions, such as recovering hybrid environments, and sitting in on a number of breakout sessions across many VMworld tracks.

Enterprise-level Security at a Small Business Budget
By JP Blaho As companies embrace the fact that every business is a contender on the Internet, and every company is subject to the same types of vulnerabilities and attacks, they must all realize their network security postures must be advanced and robust. This means that a company of six employees must have network security protections which mirror those of an organization of 6,000 employees. As cost-prohibitive as it sounds, there are ways that non-enterprise-level businesses can implement a security strategy that is comprehensive and effective in protecting themselves from attack just as successfully as enterprise customers. One such solution is called Unified Threat Management ( … Read more
Network Security Threats on SMBs: What You Need to Know
By JP Blaho The Internet, over the last two decades, has helped create a different way of interacting, transferring knowledge, and conducting business. It has helped create a level playing field in which companies of any size, and from anywhere in the world, can compete for a consumer's business. This has also introduced a completely new form of risk-- network security. Network security has become one of the fastest growing sectors within IT because of the growing number of cybercriminals. This black-market has designed a business model where the focus is on breaking into businesses via the Internet. The intent is mainly to exploit their targets for money: whether it's through holding a … Read more

What distinguishes an Enterprise Cloud from other clouds?
Today we hear from Nik Weidenbacher, Product Engineering at SunGardAS - Carl M. Most people have a general understanding of public and private clouds and the differences between the two offerings. When talking about Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), typically a private cloud is in a company's data center while a public cloud is operated by a provider and shared by multiple companies. That is a good start, but neither definition explains what an Enterprise Cloud is. An Enterprise Cloud offers a virtualized, multi-tenant infrastructure that can provide many of the same benefits as running a private cloud for your company, without requiring the same up-front investment. Unlike most publ … Read more
Cloud Connect 2011
Satish Hemachandran just returned from Cloud Connect 2011 This week's Cloud Connect 2011 was the place to be to discuss all things Cloud. I spent two days at a packed convention center where the session topics conveyed the attendees' interest in deciphering the challenges faced by enterprises in Cloud adoption. The consistent theme for this year's event was about how Cloud for the enterprise needs to be built with availability, manageability, and security in mind - an area that we within SunGard are most passionate about. I had the opportunity to present SunGard's vision of the Enterprise Cloud on Tuesday - this session was focused on the risks that IT departments face as they embark on th … Read more

"You must go, Mrs. Frisby, to the rats under the rosebush. They are not, I think, like other rats."This page is about the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and its literary sequels. If you are looking for the article about the animated film, see The Secret Of NIMH.A 1971 novel by Robert C. O'Brien about lab rats that gained human intelligence through a series of top secret government experiments.The protagonist of the story, Mrs. Frisby, is a fairly intelligent, but otherwise ordinary field mouse. Mrs. Frisby seeks a way to keep her sick son, Timothy, alive during the spring plowing. He is too weak to move to their summer home without risking his death, but staying would mean certain death because their winter home lies directly in the path of the farmer's tractor. In order to ensure her son's survival, Mrs. Frisby seeks the help of the elusive uplifted rats of NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health).The first and last third of the book are told from the (third person limited) perspective of Mrs. Frisby while the second third is a long flashback narrated by Nicodemus. The sections of the book focusing on Mrs. Frisby are mostly about trying to stay Home Sweet Home. The animals in that section are anthropomorphized quite a bit and all of them are rather intelligent, even without being uplifted. Nicodemus' chapters are quite different in tone, almost to the point of Mood Whiplash. His chapters deal with the escape of NIMH, and the animals in this chapter are less human than those of Mrs. Frisby's. If read separately you would be forgiven for thinking it was from a different story. The NIMH chapters examine animal intelligence, the psychological differences and similarities between humans and rats, The Scientific Method, and the philosophical ramifications of stealing.It was written in 1971 and made into a very loosely adapted animated feature-length film called The Secret Of NIMH by celebrated director Don Bluth. The film has mostly eclipsed the novel in terms of popularity and recognition, but the book itself remains a great piece of literature if the Newbery Medal is any indication. After O'Brien's death, there were a couple of semi-official sequels written by his daughter, but the general consensus on their quality and where they fall in the continuity spectrum is variable. note
