|Pioneers Drop Fourth Straight
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 04 May 2013 10:45
The Watauga High girl's soccer team has picked a bad time for a tailspin. The Pioneers (8-8-3 ovearll; 6-5-1 Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) suffered their fourth consecutive loss with a 2-0 setback against Hickory on Senior Night at Jack Groce Stadium. The Pioneers, who will open the state playoffs at home against Mooresville Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m., have only scored one goal in their last three games (and that tally belongs Hannah Younger). Lauren Skoog and Sarah Henson scored for Hickory (13-1-4; 9-0-3). The win leaves Hickory as the No.2 seed overall in the NW3A/4A, and the No.2 seed among the Class 3A schools in the conference. Marie Drewno and Henson each had an assist; Grayson Cameron was in goal and picked up the shutout.
"We're hoping for a win in first round the state playoffs," WHS coach Brittany Bolick said. "That's about all I can say right now."
The JV team defeated HHS, 1-0. Erin Tobin scored for WHS.
Well, it was nice while it lasted. The Watauga High boy's lacrosse team saw its most successful season come to an end Friday night. Pfafftown-Reagan scored four goals in an eight-minute span just before halftime to break the game open. The end result, the Raiders (10-4), the No.2 seed from District 8, blasted WHS 15-4 at Leigh Wallace Memorial Field.
"It was 3-2, and we were right there with them, step for step," said WHS coach Chris Wallace. "But that outburst just before halftime killed us."
Senior Nick Williams closed out a fabulos career by scoring four times (he would have had five goals, but it was disallowed because the officials ruled he was standing in the crease when he scored). Williams finished his career with a school-record 67 goals in a season, and 104 in his career.
"I'm a little sorry I didn't start playing lacrosse when I was a freshman," Williams said. "But I wanted to leave my mark in this program. I'm glad Dominick (Hamilton) talked me into playing. I was a baseball player my freshman and sophomore years, and it just wasn't working out for me. But I found a sport I'm comfortable with, and I've taken a lot of pride in making myself a better player."
Williams will attend Alderson-Broadus College, a Division II school in Philippi, W.V. And WHS prospered from his talents. The Pioneers won the District 9 championship and made the state playoffs for the first time in school history.
"It's a start," Wallace said. "The guys had a great year. It was real enjoyable. I hope we can build on this and continue forward."
The Watuaga High boy's tennis team was eliminated on the first day of competition at the Class 4A Western Regional at Ardrey Kell High in Charlotte Friday afternoon. Dristan Trate, who represent WHS in singles play, made it to the second round before he was elminiated by Josh DuTiot of Ardrey Kell in straight sets, 6-0; 6-0.
The doubles team of Landon Taylor and Harrison Battle made it to the second round by knocking off Cody Jenkins and Landon Alexander of East Gaston in straight sets, 6-1, 7-5. But they lost their second-round match Brian Perez and Christopher Dillon of Myers Park, 6-1, 6-1.
The doubles team of Caleb Gould and Brody O'Neil lost to Michael McGowan and Duy Huynh of Providence, 6-0, 6-1, in the first round. But despite Friday's disappointing effort, the Pioneers (8-5) take on T.C. Roberson Tuesday in the second-round of the Class 4A state playoffs.

How can I report cruelty to animals?
In NYC
To report cruelty situations involving animals in New York City, please call 311. For crimes in progress, contact 911.
Animal cruelty/neglect is not only wrong-it is against the law in every state in this country, and is a FELONY in many states! Animal abuse can also be part of a pattern of other violent acts within families and society. Abuse of any kind should be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately.
Outside NYC
You will need to find out the name of the persons in your area who are responsible for investigating and enforcing the anti-cruelty codes in your town, county and/or state. These people typically work for your local humane organization, animal control agency, taxpayer-funded animal shelter or police precinct.
To find out what agencies are authorized to investigate and arrest instances of animal cruelty in your state (i.e, does the enforcement of animal cruelty laws fall under the authority of the police department or animal control officers?), visit our state-by-state list of state anti-cruelty investigatory-arrest powers.
If you run into trouble finding the correct agency to contact, you may wish to call or visit your local police department and ask for their help in enforcing the law. Similarly, you can ask at your local shelter or animal control agency for help. To find contact information for your local shelter, check the yellow pages or visit the ASPCA's searchable database of nearly 5,000 community SPCAs, humane societies and animal control organizations.

I saw a television show/film/advertisement that depicts cruelty to animals. What can I do about it?
The ASPCA shares your concern about the media's depiction of violence and cruelty towards animals for the purpose of entertainment.
Please know, however, that many of these instances are constitutionally protected free speech; many may not involve a real animal. If you are offended by something you viewed, we suggest that you contact the network that aired the program, the producer of the film or the publisher of the print media in question.
You may also wish to contact the following organizations to register your complaint:
The American Humane Association, Movie and Television Unit
(818) 501-0123
This unit oversees the use of live animals in movies and television as part of an agreement with the Screen Directors Guild.
The HSUS Hollywood Office
(818) 501-2275
[email protected]
This branch of HSUS works with the media to advance the humane treatment of animals.
Thank you for being an animal welfare advocate.
I'd like to make a complaint about a veterinarian. Who should I contact?
The ASPCA suggests the following options when you suspect your veterinarian of improper conduct, negligence or malpractice:
- If the matter is a financial issue, contact your state Better Business Bureau or Department of Consumer Affairs.
- If the matter is an operational or medical issue, contact your local veterinary medical association's Ethics and Grievance Committee.
- If the matter is a malpractice issue, contact your state's veterinary licensing board. This is the agency that investigates allegations of misconduct. Another option is to file a lawsuit against the veterinarian in question.
You can call or write any vet clinic in your state to find contact information for the medical association and/or licensing board in your area. In addition, you can contact:
The American Association of Veterinary State Boards
(816) 931-1504
American Veterinary Medical Association
I've seen a website depicting cruelty to animals. What can I do?
The ASPCA shares your concern about Internet animal cruelty. While Internet technology has made a positive contribution to our society, it has also resulted in the rapid expansion of publicity for individuals who promote inappropriate ideas including, animal abuse. Click here for general information on how to fight against this and other disturbing websites you may encounter (including Bonsai Kitten).
To report websites that display acts of cruelty to animals, please contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice.
Found Animals
My pet is lost?/I think I've found someone's pet-what can I do?
For lost or found pets in New York City, please contact Animal Care and Control (AC&C) by calling 311 or search their online database.
Outside NYC
Report a lost or found animal to your local shelter or animal control facility immediately.Because animal control facilities are often overwhelmed with unclaimed and unwanted animals, time is of the essence. If you find an animal,keep in mindthat someone is most likely looking for this pet-and if you don't report it to your shelter, the owner may never be reunited with his or her animal. You may also wish to place flyers around the neighborhood or an ad in your local newspaper. If you want to keep a pet whose owner cannot be located, consult your local humane organization for advice on how to proceed.
To read more suggestions, please read our article Tips on Finding a Lost Pet.
I found a stray/injured/abandoned animal. Who can I call for help?
Please contact Animal Care and Control (AC&C) by calling 311 (for all five boroughs). AC&C is not affiliated with the ASPCA.
Outside NYC
Contact your local humane organization, animal control officer, or Police Department for assistance.
I found a dead animal-who should I call?
If you find a dead animal, you should call your local Department of Sanitation to have the animal removed as soon as possible. A dead animal can be a health hazard to people and other animals. In New York City, the general information number of the Department of Sanitation is (212) 219-8090.
If your pet has passed away, you have several choices about how to dispose of the body. The cost will vary, depending on your decision. Contact your veterinarian or your local humane organization to find out about options. You can also look in your phone book for deceased animal removal and disposal.
Help, I found a hurt/orphaned squirrel/bird/rabbit/etc.!
Please know that the ASPCA does not have certified wildlife rehabilitators on staff, nor do we have wildlife experts or a wildlife department.
Some situations involving nuisance wildlife in your home or on your property may require the professional services of a company that specializes in removing wildlife from private property. The ASPCA urges you to use reputable companies who specialize in the humane removal and/or release of captured wildlife.
Pet Care
What are the leash laws in my town? What if I see an off-leash dog?
Pet owners who allow their pets to roam unattended are putting the animals' welfare in jeopardy and creating a nuisance to neighbors, other domestic pets and wildlife. Allowing dogs to run off leash in inappropriate places is dangerous for the dog, puts people and other animals at risk and, in many towns and cities,is illegal. Leash laws exist to protect animals and people, and we urge you, as a responsible pet owner,to abide by them.Any animal control officer, police officer, or appropriate law enforcement agent can issue a summons upon witnessing a violation. Contact your local humane organization or animal control facility to determine what laws apply in your area.
In New York City
For leash law complaints in New York City, please contact the Department of Health at (212) 442-9666.
The ASPCA applauds the New York City Board of Health's December 2006 decision to allow dogs to run without leashes in certain parks between 9:00 P.M. and 9:00 A.M. This new legislation codifies the off-leash courtesy many Big Apple parks have had in effect for nearly two decades. Download a PDF of the complete amendment to Article 161 of the New York City Health Code.
In light of this exciting development, the ASPCA encourages dog owners to show their gratitude by cleaning up after their pets, obtaining a dog license and spaying or neutering their pets. For more great tips on etiquette for urban dogs and their owners, check out Urban Dog Etiquette.

Where can I find a pet sitter? Should I board my pet?
Boarding facilities*
The ASPCA strongly advises a visit and thorough inspection of each potential boarding facility, even if the facility has been recommended to you. Ask for, and check, references from other clients, inquire about the facility, its hours of operation, supervision of animals, exercise regimens, dietary provisions, affiliation with veterinarians in the community and staff qualifications. It's a good idea to check the reputation of a potential boarding facility with local veterinarians, trainers, etc. For referrals to reputable boarding facilities near you, you may wish to contact The American Boarding Kennel Association at (877) 570-7788 or (719) 667-1600.
Pet sitters*
If a boarding facility is not right for your pet, consider a professional pet sitter, who can care for your animal in your home or theirs. For referrals to a reputable pet sitter, you may wish to contact:
National Association of Professional Pet Sitters
(856) 439-0324
Pet Sitters International
(336) 983-9222
*The ASPCA does not independently investigate or endorse any pet sitting or boarding facility.
I can no longer keep my pet. what can I do?
The ASPCA considers pets to be members of the family.With many millions of companion animals surrendered to animal shelters each year, and countless stray animals roaming our streets, giving up a companion animal is not a decision to be taken lightly. If circumstances arise that prohibit you from caring for your pet, there may be options for you to consider before relinquishing your pet.
Many companion animals are given up by their owners because of behavior problems—and in most cases, there are things you can do to change your animal's unwanted behavior.Before you give up on your pet, please consult a reputable trainer or animal behaviorist for assistance. Your local humane organization can help with a referral. You can also see our online behavior information for helpful tips.
If you have made up your mind to re-home your companion animal, your best bet is find your pet a home through your own personal contacts (i.e., your veterinarian, dog walker, pet sitter, friends, family, co-workers, etc.). You may also wish to list your pet on Petfinder.com.
Do not give up if you do not find a home for your animal right away!Finding an ideal home for a companion animal may take considerable time and effort, but your pet's future is in your hands.Be sure to screen potential adopters carefully; ask them for references; inquire about employment, financial stability, and previous pet ownership.Ask to visit their homes before you place your animal to ensurethat the environmentis suitable, and be sure to follow up with calls and visits.
If you can no longer keep a purebred dog, you may wish to visit the American Kennel Club's website, which provides a list of breed-specific rescue groups that place purebred dogs in homes. Putting your pet in a shelter should be your last resort. Most animal shelters operate at full capacity, and there is often a waiting list to get an animal into a non-animal control ("no-kill") shelter. Even if your pet does qualify for entrance into a "no-kill" shelter and there is space available, there are no guarantees that your pet will be adopted quickly, or at all. Remember, thenumber of animals in need of homes faroutweighs the number ofpeople looking to adopt. Most shelters reserve the right to end the life of any animal evaluated to be unfit for adoption, or if time or space has run out. Rules and regulations vary in every shelter, and so do the conditions. Make sure that any shelter you bring your animal to has a reputation for humane conditions and successful adoptions.To find a shelter near you, please visit our Shelter Directory.
I'm planning a trip by plane/car. Can my pet come?
Air travel
If you are traveling within the United States, please contact the airline directly for regulations and requirements for taking your pet on board or as live cargo. Most airlines will require a recent veterinary certificate of health in addition to specifications on carrier size. The ASPCA does not recommend sending your pet by air in the cargo hold, unless you have no other choice.
If you are traveling out of the country, please contact the embassy directly of the country to which you are flying. You may visit http://www.embassy.org/ or type in the country name and "Embassy" (e.g., Italian Embassy) for mandates, requirements and instructions.

How can I keep my pet safe in the event of a disaster or emergency?
Emergencies come in many forms, and they may require anything from a brief absence from your home to permanent evacuation. Each type of disaster requires different measures to keep your pets safe. The best thing you can do for yourself and your pets is to be prepared.
Visit our Disaster Preparedness section for more information.

I think my pet is sick. Who can help me?
The ASPCA regrets that we are unable to provide specific medical advice for your pet, or to comment on the medical care offered by a licensed health care professional. In order to properly diagnose a medical condition, a licensed veterinarian should be consulted. Self-diagnosis or delay seeking proper veterinary care may worsen your pet's condition.
If your pet is showing unusual or abnormal behavior or exhibiting signs of illness, such as loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, or blood in the stool or urine, you should consult your veterinarian as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment of medical problems offers the best chance of successful treatment.
If you are looking for general information about pet health care problems, please visit our pet care section. You may also wish to visit the following websites:
The information on these websites may best be used in helping you to identify symptoms to enable the best possible treatment by a licensed professional. Write down the symptoms you've observed, when you observed them, and anything else that you think could have contributed to your pet's condition, including change of diet, etc., to discuss with a professional.
The ASPCA cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information posted on these sites.
Do I have to get a license for my dog?
A current pet license is your dog's ticket home should he or she become lost. And in New York City and many other areas in the country, it is also the law. A dog license helps your community keep tabs on pet populations, helps fund animal and humane health programs (i.e., spay/neuter, rabies programs, animal waste removal/sanitation, etc.), and helps foster responsible pet ownership.
Outside New York City
Contact your veterinarian, local humane organization, or town hall to determine what agency issues dog licenses and how to get one.
In New York City
Dog licenses are issued by the NYC Department of Health (DOH)—contact them by dialing 311. You can also download an application for a NYC Dog License.

I recently made a donation, but my credit card was charged more than once. What should I do?
Thank you very much for your donation—and we are so sorry for any inconvenience that you may be having. First, you'll need to determine if the extra charge on your online credit card statement is a pending charge. A pending charge usually means that you submitted incomplete or inaccurate information when you made your donation. Even if you received an error message, your credit card company will still place a pending line item on your online statement. If you have determined that the extra charge is a pending charge, it will be cancelled by your bank in a few days. If it is not a pending charge, and has not been cancelled after a few days, please contact [email protected].
I do not have a checking account. May I send a money order?
Of course!! Please make your money order out to the ASPCA and send it to:
ASPCA Gift Processing Center, PO Box 96929, Washington, DC 20077-7127.
I do not have a credit card. May I send a check?
Yes, you may. Please make your check out to the ASPCA and send it to:
ASPCA Gift Processing Center, PO Box 96929, Washington, DC 20077-7127.
What Is Your Employer Identification Number (EIN) Or Tax Identification Number (TIN)?
How do I know I am donating to the ASPCA?
All ASPCA donation pages use EV SSL certification, which is indicated by the VeriSign Trusted logo. EV SSL certification is the highest level of authentication currently available and ensures that any information provided is safe and secure. In addition, all ASPCA donation pages redirect to a secure https: web address that contains ASPCA.org in the URL. If any of those items are missing, no donation through the site should be made.
If you suspect an email or website may be fraudulent, please contact the ASPCA directly at [email protected] to verify if we are aware of the situation, have authorized the use of our name, and do in fact receive support from them. Report any incidents of consumer fraud or deception directly to the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/charityfraud or call (877) FTC-HELP. If you believe an organization or website may not be operating for its claimed charitable purpose, contact your state Attorney General or the Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org/.
Just want to make life as a Guardian a little bit easier, so we've put together some of the more commonly asked questions! Of course, if you have a question not covered here, please feel free to contact: (800) 628-0028. Please be sure to have your membership ID number handy for fastest service.
Q: How can I make changes to my account i.e. change amount, change my credit card number?
A: It's so easy! Please just call (800) 628-0028. If we receive your change prior to the month's processing deadline we can make the change effective for that month. If not, it'll take effect the next month.
Q: I currently send you a check every month...How do I go about having automatic deductions from my checking account?
A: Just fill out the EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) section on the back of your Guardian statement and return it with your pledge. Be sure to check off the change of payment type box on the front of your statement too before sending in back in the envelope provided.
Q: I'm a check writer and my statement shows two open months - the current and the last. I never miss a month and therefore find this very upsetting. What is happening?
A: The current one is always open due to it being the reminder. If your previous check was deposited after the 21st, then it missed the statement printing deadline and will appear on the next statement. It really just boils down to timing and is not a reflection of your commitment, or our bookkeeping.
Q: Can I stop whenever I want?
A: Of course! Just call (800) 628-0028. Your cancellation will take place the same month, or the following month, depending upon when we receive your call.
Q: I've been a Guardian for several months, but have not received any letters verifying my donations for tax purposes. Will I be receiving one?
A: Yes, Guardian participants receive one statement reflecting the prior year's total contributions (Please note that this statement will not contain donations made to our regular or other restricted funds). This statement is usually mailed in February.
Q: I love being a Guardian, but I want my money to go to a specific fund. How do I go about that?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot allocate your money to another restricted fund. Part of being a Guardian is that you are helping the ASPCA in all its' many programs and efforts.
Q: I signed up to be a credit card Guardian, but I'm still receiving a monthly statement and no charges have appeared on my credit card. What's up?
A: Guardian transactions take place but once per month. Therefore, depending on when your request was received/processed, it can take up to a month and a half for you to see a charge appear on your card and for the statements to stop. If it's longer than that, the please bring it to our attention so we can look into the situation for you.
Q: I'm a Guardian, but I am receiving renewal notices. Aren't I considered a member?
A: You may have a duplicate record on our database or you may have joined the Guardian program after the renewal mailing was prepared. If you receive more than one renewal notice please call us at (800) 628-0028 and we will look into this for you.
How do I make an in-honor, in-memory gift for someone?
There are three ways to make a tribute donation:
Website: If you'd like to make a donation online and inform the individual via email, you may send them an eHonor or eMemorial notification. This is a very simple process, and the fastest way for your message to be sent.
Mail: If you'd like to send a check, please enclose a note indicating the name of the deceased or honoree, the name and the address of the person you wish us to contact concerning the donation, and who it is from. We will send out a tribute card to the person you've indicated. Please send your check to: ASPCA Tributes, 520 8th Ave., 7th Floor, New York, NY 10018.
Phone: We also accept credit card donations over the phone. Please call 800-628-0028.
I have already renewed my membership, but continue to receive renewal notices.
This is the result of a timing issue between the date your renewal gift is received and keyed onto our member database and the date of our next renewal mailing. If you have renewed, please disregard any additional notices that you may have received—and thank you for your support.
Mail from the ASPCA
I am receiving multiple mailing to the same address.
We most likely have more than one member record for you in our database.
Please call 800-628-0028 or email [email protected]. We will be happy to remedy this for you. To ensure a quick resolution, please provide us with complete name and address information.
I wish to update my address/be removed from your mailing list/remove a deceased individual from the mailing list.
Please call 800-628-0028 or email [email protected]. We will be happy to accommodate you. To ensure a quick resolution, please provide us with complete name and address information.
I wish to receive fewer solicitations. How do I stop receiving so much mail?
If you'd like to receive fewer solicitations, please contact 800-628-0028 or email [email protected]. We will be happy to rectify the situation for you. Please be aware that it will take a bit of time to process this request, because mailings are prepared in advance. You may not see a marked difference for a few months.
How do I submit a story to Animal Watch?
ASPCA Animal Watch is no longer being published. Our new member publication, ASPCA Action, features stories of ASPCA rescues and articles about the ASPCA's national and local programs and events. As the content is developed by ASPCA staffers, we are no longer accepting freelance submissions.
How can I find out about ASPCA fundraising events?
The ASPCA Special Events department creates and engineers major fundraising events for the ASPCA. Each year, this department hosts the National Humane Awards Luncheon, the Bergh Ball, and a celebratory night for our Young Friends of the "A." Additionally, we create and manage all fundraising, cultivation, and staff events, as well as the ASPCA's Annual Meeting. Should you have interest in attending any ASPCA fundraising event, please email Lindsay Sklar in the Special Events department at [email protected].
Does the ASPCA have member publications?
ASPCA Action is published three times a year and is sent to ASPCA members.
ASPCA News Alert is our free weekly email newsletter. Click here to sign up.
How many ASPCAs are there in the United States?
There is only one ASPCA, and we are headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1866 as the first animal welfare organization in the Americas, we celebrated our 140th anniversary in 2006. Although there are SPCAs and humane societies all over the country, we are not directly affiliated with them. On a local level, we are striving to create a Humane Community in New York City, and we are active nationally, helping America's animal population via Community Outreach, Government Relations and Humane Education.
Why did you choose orange as the ASPCA's official color?
In September 2005, the ASPCA officially shifted its color palette from blue to bright orange and gray. These new colors were launched in concert with our new campaign, "We Are Their Voice," and gave a fresh start to the ASPCA's mission to prevent animal cruelty.
The color orange is identified with vibrancy and energy. (In fact, the members of our logo design team were inspired by a life preserver!) It is our hope that, by identifying the color orange with the efforts of the ASPCA, the public will begin to associate this color with the welfare of animals throughout the United States. We hope that one day the color orange will be synonymous with animal welfare everywhere!
I'm a member of the media-where can I find press information?/Has the ASPCA been in the news lately?
The ASPCA is regularly the subject of news coverage in local and national print and broadcast media outlets. Numerous programs, activities and animal-related issues were brought to the media's attention through our ongoing proactive outreach and the handling of daily requests from reporters for expert comment on animal-welfare related topics. ASPCA staff appears in news venues, including top-rated network, cable and local television stations, major newspapers, national magazines, national radio networks and news sites on the internet. For current media news, please visit our online pressroom. Reporters and members of the media, please contact the ASPCA's Media and Communications Department at [email protected] or call 212-876-7700 ext. 4655
Working with Animals
Can I get a job at the ASPCA? What are some careers with animals?
In NYC
The ASPCA is a national organization located in New York City, and is not affiliated with any other animal agency in the United States. To search for current available positions at the ASPCA or to apply for a position, view our job listings.
Outside NYC
Outside the New York area, check with local animal welfare and humane organizations that are located throughout the United States. Careers in the animal welfare world cover a broad range-from veterinarian, lawyer, marketing associate, writer, animal control officer, etc.
Click here to search for a humane organization near you to inquire about available positions in your area.
The following titles offer further information on learning about careers working with animals:
- Career Success with Pets, by Kim Barber; Howell Book House, A Simon & Schuster/Macmillan Company; New York, NY, 1996.
- 105 Careers for Animal Lovers, by Paula Fitzsimmons; PJ Publications; Madison, WI, 2002.
- The World of Work: Choosing a Career in Animal Care, by Jane Hurwitz; The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc; New York, NY, 1997
- Careers for Animal Lovers & Other Zoological Types by Louise Miller; VGM Career Horizons, a division NTC Publishing; Lincoln, IL, 1991.
- Careers for Animal Lovers by Russell Shorto; Choices: The Millbrook Press; Brookfield, CT, 1992.
- Careers with Animals, The Humane Society of the United States by Willow Ann Sirch; Fulcrum Publishing; Golden, CO, 2000.
Here is an overview of potential careers working with or for animals:
Being a veterinarian can be a very rewarding career. To become a veterinarian, you'll need to:
- Go through four years of college, taking pre-med courses like biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. You'll also need to take some animal-related courses like animal biology, animal nutrition, zoology, etc.
- Go through four years of veterinary school. Competition for entry is very tough. Schools will look for animal-related experience such as working with a vet in clinics or research or working at a farm, stable, or animal shelter; good grades are essential.
For certain types of veterinary medicine a one-year internship is required, for others an additional 2-3 year residency is required.
Just as there are medical specialties in human medicine, there are medical specialties in veterinary medicine.
For more information, visit the American Veterinary Medical Association at http://www.avma.org/.
Veterinary Technician
A Veterinary Technician is very much like a nurse. A vet tech helps a veterinarian take care of animal patients. To become a vet tech you'll need to graduate from a vet tech program, usually an Associate's Degree (AA), and pass a state certification exam. Vet techs can work wherever veterinarians work—in animal hospitals, shelters, farms, etc. For more information, contact the American Veterinary Medical Association's website at http://www.avma.org/. In New York City, contact LaGuardia Community College/CUNY at (718) 482-7206 or http://www.cuny.edu/.
Wildlife Rehabilitator
Another career that involves helping animals heal and recuperate is wildlife rehabilitator. A wildlife rehabilitator takes in wild animals who are injured, sick or orphaned and provides medical and supportive care. If the animal is capable of fending for herself after recovery, the animal is released back into the wild. If the animal cannot care for or feed herself, the animal would be taken to a wildlife refuge. To become a wildlife rehabilitator, you will need to:
- Take courses and seminars to learn how to care for injured, sick and orphaned wildlife.
- Complete appropriate coursework established by wildlife rehabilitation associations for certification.
- Obtain state and federal permits to handle wildlife.
Wildlife rehabilitators can work independently or at animal shelters and wildlife refuges.
Animal Attendant/Kennel Worker
Animal Attendants feed, water, groom, bathe and exercise animals and clean, disinfect and repair their cages. They also socialize animals, provide companionship and observe behavioral changes that could indicate illness or injury. Animal attendants can work at kennels, shelters, hospitals, stables, aquariums and zoological parks. Most of the training for animal attendants is "on-the-job." In zoos and aquariums, a college degree in biology, animal sciences or a related field is usually required.
Like animal attendants, much of a groomer's training is on the job while serving as an apprentice. There are also trade schools that teach grooming skills. Groomers can work in grooming businesses, pet supply stores, animal shelters, stables, etc., wherever animals are. There are no educational standards for groomers and no licensing procedures for groomers. There is a national organization for groomers that offers voluntary certification. For more information, contact the Dog Groomers Association of America at (746) 962-2711 or email [email protected]. You may also go to an informational grooming site such as http://www.petgroomer.com/
Dog Walker/Pet Sitter
Today, many people are away from their homes for nine or more hours a day for work. Dogs don't always like to be left alone for such long periods of time, and they need to go out for walks several times a day. Some dog walkers will take out one dog at a time for 15 minutes to an hour. Others will take out many dogs at the same time, sometimes taking them to dog runs and keeping the dogs out, playing for hours.
A similar career would be in doggie day care—working in or running a facility where people drop off their dogs before work and pick them up on their way home. Pet sitters are people who take care of pets when their owners are away on vacation or on business trips. There are no educational or training requirements for any of these positions, but they do require liability insurance and bonding. For more information, contact Pet Sitters International at http://www.petsit.com/ or The Pet Center at http://www.thepetcenter.com/.
Animal Behaviorist/Animal Trainer
An animal trainer is someone who either trains animals or teaches people how to train their own pets. An animal trainer can work in a variety of settings—at animal shows, in animal shelters, training animals for movies and television and training service dogs.
There are no educational standards or licensing requirements for animal trainers. There are training programs, internships and apprenticeships. There are also voluntary certification programs. Animal behaviorists often hold advanced degrees in animal sciences and behavioral principles. Most have Ph.Ds. An animal behaviorist will often deal with behavior problems in animals (separation anxiety, compulsive behaviors, etc.). For more information, contact the following organizations:
Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (212) 356-0682
Association of Pet Dog Trainers (800) PET-DOGS
Animal Behavior Society (812) 856-5541
American College of Veterinary Behaviorists
Humane Educator
Humane Educators vary greatly in terms of their educational backgrounds and experience. A background in education is certainly helpful, but not necessary. Public-speaking skills, the ability to teach others, and a love for children and animals are also helpful. Many humane educators are volunteers or employees of humane organizations, such as the ASPCA. Humane Educators teach others about animals, their needs, their abilities, and aim to instill a respect and reverence for all life.
"Therapists" for animals are usually animal behaviorists. They observe an animal's behavior and environmental situation, and if necessary, develop a plan to change the animal's problematic behavior—helping the animal develop "normal" behavior patterns. Animals can also serve as therapists. Many animals are brought into hospitals and nursing homes, and animals can be used to help psychologists reach patients who are socially withdrawn. Interaction with an animal is sometimes offered as a reward for speaking in speech therapy or walking in physical therapy. Brushing an animal can be a physical therapy exercise. The educational requirements for different types of therapists vary. Many volunteers will go through training with their animals to be certified as animal-assisted therapy teams. They will then visit hospitals and nursing homes with their animals. This may be the only "therapeutic" training the person has.
A lobbyist is someone who tries to influence legislators to pass bills in an area of special interest. Most lobbyists are lawyers. To become a lawyer, one must go through four years of college and earn a bachelor's degree, then complete three years of law school and earn a law degree (J.D., or jurist doctor).
To practice law in any state, an individual needs to be admitted to the bar, or licensed, in that state. This will require passing a written "bar examination" and, in many states, a written ethics examination. Many lawyers work in more traditional ways for animals, too. Lawyers can work for humane organizations, for individual people, for individual animals. For more information, visit the Animal Legal Defense Fund.
Humane Law Enforcement/Animal Control Officer
Another career that involves both the law and animals is Humane Law Enforcement Officer/Animal Control Officer. HLE/AC officers inspect kennels, pet shops, stables and other places where animals are kept to make sure that animal welfare regulations are being followed. HLE/AC officers respond to and investigate reports of animal cruelty. HLE/AC officers also enforce licensing laws and rescue trapped animals.
Requirements for becoming a HLE/AC officer may include a high school diploma, courses in criminology and animal science and on-the-job training (may be similar to police training).
Some states require certification. Contact your local animal agency for information on humane law enforcement and animal control officer positions.
Becoming a zoologist involves a strong interest in animals and a lot of schooling. A graduate degree (Masters or Doctorate) will be required. Zoologists can work in zoos, but can also work in state and federal agriculture departments and animal welfare organizations.
Marine Biologist
Becoming a marine biologist is also a graduate school endeavor. Job competition can be fierce. Marine biologists can work in a variety of settings. International, federal, state and local government agencies hire marine scientists for positions in research, education, management, and legal and policy development.
Fisheries and oil and gas companies hire marine biologists. Environmental advocacy and animal welfare organizations may also hire marine biologists, as may aquariums, zoos and museums.
There are numerous books and magazines devoted to animals. These publications may employ writers, editors, photographers, illustrators and art directors. Most jobs require a college degree in the liberal arts, with degrees in Communications, Journalism, and English preferred.
Working as a photographer requires a good technical understanding of photography and creativity. Entry-level positions in photojournalism may require a college degree in photography. Basic courses in photography cover equipment, processes and techniques. Because these careers seem so glamorous and exciting, there are more artists than jobs for the positions, so training and talent are key to success.
The ASPCA has established many programs that relieve the pain, fear and suffering of animals. At our New York City headquarters, we operate an animal hospital and adoption facility.

How many pets are in the United States? How many animals are in shelters?
Facts about U.S. Animal Shelters:
There are about 13,600 community animal shelters nationwide that are independent; there is no national organization monitoring these shelters. The terms "humane society" and "SPCA" are generic; shelters using those names are not part of the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. Currently, no government institution or animal organization is responsible for tabulating national statistics for the animal protection movement. These are national estimates; the figures may vary from state to state.
Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats.
Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats).
Approximately 2.7 million shelter animals are adopted each year (1.4 million dogs and 1.3 million cats).
About 649,000 animals who enter shelters as strays are returned to their owners. Of those, 542,000 are dogs and only 100,000 are cats.
Of the dogs entering shelters, approximately 35% are adopted, 31% are euthanized and 26% of dogs who came in as strays are returned to their owner.
Of the cats entering shelters, approximately 37% are adopted, 41% are euthanized, and less than 5% of cats who came in as strays are returned to their owners.
About twice as many animals enter shelters as strays compared to the number that are relinquished by their owners.
Facts about Pet Ownership in the U.S.:
It's estimated that 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats are owned in the United States. Approximately 37-47% of all households in the United States have a dog, and 30-37% have a cat. (Source: APPA)
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 40% of pet owners learned about their pet through word of mouth.
The majority of pets are obtained from acquaintances and family members. 28% of dogs are purchased from breeders, and 29% of cats and dogs are adopted from shelters and rescues.
More than 35% of cats are acquired as strays. (Source: APPA)
According to the American Humane Association, the most common reasons why people relinquish or give away their dogs is because their place of residence does not allow pets (29%), not enough time, divorce/death and behavior issues (10% each). The most common reasons for cats are that they were not allowed in the residence (21%) and allergies (11%).
Facts about Pet Overpopulation in the U.S.:
It is impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States; estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
The average number of litters a fertile cat produces is one to two a year; the average number of kittens is four to six per litter.
The average number of litters a fertile dog produces is one a year; the average number of puppies is four to six.
Owned cats and dogs generally live longer, healthier lives than strays.
Many strays are lost pets who were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification.
Only 10%of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered, while 83% of pet dogs and 91% of pet cats are spayed or neutered.
The cost of spaying or neutering a pet is less than the cost of raising puppies or kittens for a year.
The following data are ASPCA estimates unless otherwise indicated.

To meet this goal, Patriot PAWS intends to build partnerships with community and state organizations to help support this undertaking.

DENVER, Colo (KUSA) - You might have seen them at bars or sporting events.
They are young women selling T-shirts and other items to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
You may assume you're giving to a charity.
Our news partner in Denver, KUSA, has learned they are actually working for a for-profit company that is making millions of dollars in the name of breast cancer.
The company is "Boobies Rock!"
They sell T-shirts, koozies and bracelets with catchy slogans about breast cancer.
The owner, Adam Shryock, admits some people who buy these items may think they're giving to a charity.
But make no mistake. He says he is in it to make money.
Emily and Melissa, who asked 9Wants to Know not to reveal their last names, made $25 an hour, paid in cash, to sell catchy clothing for "Boobies Rock!"
"We would go to different bars, restaurants, [including] Rockies opening day," Emily said.
""[We're] the kind of girl next door type," Melissa said. "[We'd go] downtown [on] Friday [and] Saturday nights."
Their sales pitch was simple.
"Would you guys like to help donate to a great cause?" Melissa said.
"[You're] doing something good, something right," Emily said. "Basically our opening line was 'we're with Boobies Rock! It's a breast cancer awareness organization. Would you guys like to make a donation to the cause?'"
Those "donations" added up quickly.
"About $5,000 a week, just [for] me," Emily said.
Emily and Melissa say, when they left the company in June, there were 15 other young women just like them, collecting cash from people all over Colorado.
"I think they thought pretty much what we thought, that they were donating money to a good cause," Melissa said.
While the words Breast Cancer Awareness are plastered all over the Boobies Rock website, it is not a charity.
You are giving to a company that is an advocate of breast cancer awareness, but it is a for-profit business," Shryock said.
The owner of Boobies Rock and another company the Se7ven Group is a 33-year-old entrepreneur who lives in a large home in Castle Rock.
Shryock says Boobies Rock merchandise is sold in at least 15 cities nationwide.
In two years, the company has made about $2 million selling breast cancer themed T-shirts and other items.
"We give a tremendous amount of money," Shryock said.
Shryock says his company has donated about $325,000 to eight charities.
That figure includes $250,000 paid to the Keep-A-Breast Foundation to settle a trademark infringement lawsuit.
"If we wouldn't have had that settlement with Keep A Breast, we would have given that money to someone else," Shryock said.
One charity, Pink Fund, received $50,000 and another, Young Survival coalition, received $25,000.
Others got as little as $100, all of it collected from the sale of Boobies Rock! merchandise in the name of breast cancer awareness.
Shryock says he does not condone the actions of certain sales women, who make people think they're donating to a breast cancer charity.
"When they're out there saying false information, it comes back on me. For the most part, it is not a problem. But it does happen from time to time," Shryock said.
Shryock says his company is looking at ways to be more transparent about where the money goes.
He says the goal is to build a fun brand based on breast cancer awareness that will continue to make money and continue to make donations.
9NEWS legal analyst Scott Robinson believes some people who give money are being misled.
"This is really reprehensible behavior. The owner can claim that he does not condone the practices engaged in, but the practices are inherently deceptive," Robinson said.
"I feel like we totally deceived them," Emily said.
"I was kind of disgusted," Melissa said.
Melissa and Emily say they walked away from Boobies Rock when they realized the money they collected, wasn't going where they thought.
"This is just a guy who is capitalizing on a deadly disease. People need to know the truth," Emily said.

LOWVILLE A humorist from the Syracuse area will once again be the guest speaker at Lewis County General Hospitals annual breast cancer awareness dinner.
Yvonne Conte will speak at this years Give Cancer the Boot Dinner on Oct. 15 at the Lowville Elks Lodge, Shady Avenue.
Yvonne was the guest speaker at our first breast cancer awareness dinner, Joanne Dicob, the hospitals oncology navigator, said in a statement. She has all new material and is looking forward to returning to Lewis County for the event.
Tickets are still available for $30 per person by calling Denise Hirsch at 376-5235.
Doors open at 4:30 p.m., with a social hour beginning at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m.
Dinner choices include prime rib, chicken cordon bleu, and stuffed fish.
The purpose of this event is to encourage those living with breast cancer, celebrate those who have fought the disease and honor those who have lost their battle, states a hospital release.
Proceeds from the event benefit the LCGH Fund for Hope, which assists cancer patients with incidental costs such as gas, lodging and travel expenses.
After selling telephone equipment then doing stand-up comedy for five years, Ms. Conte in 1995 began using her comedy to deliver messages in a corporate setting rather than in a comedy club, the release states.
Today, Contes message is designed to use humor to change the way her audience views life, it adds. She is a celebrated stand-up comic, author and a corporate humor coach and she attempts to show audience members how to be happier.
Ms. Conte has 358 articles and essays and six books to her credit, and she is also the founder and CEO of Humor Advantage Inc., a motivational speaker group.

He picked up a 35mm camera in the mid-1970's and has never stopped sharing his unique vision via photographic images. Many moons ago, he was bitten hard by the wanderlust beast and has been canvassing the globe ever since.

The track and field at the USU Eastern campus were filled with booths, tents and hikers over the weekend as hundreds of people showed up for the annual Relay for Life.
Twenty-five teams with about 150 members took part this year, according to Jerri Timothy, who chaired this year's event. Add to that the people who came by to support the teams and the total number of people was probably more than 300, she said.
The Relay is a major fund raiser for the American Cancer Society, which spearheads the battle against cancer.
Timothy said the goal this year is $30,000, but it is too soon to tell because not all contributions and pledges had been counted as of Monday.
