SUMMARY:Pet Adoption and Free Microchip Clinic at Humble Hyundai
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_10044" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Humble Hyundai Adoption Event"][/caption]    In observance of National Pet ID Week\, Humble Hyundai is hosting a Pet Adoption and Free Microchip Clinic on Saturday\, April 21 from 12:00-4:00 p.m. Best Friends Furever will have friendly dogs on site available for adoption to loving homes\, Adopt a Cat will have cats available for adoption to forever homes\, and Spay/Houston will administer free microchipping.    Unlike a pet collar with ID tags\, a microchip is permanent and will not fade or become separated from a pet; therefore\, it’s one of the best ways to ID your pet to ensure you can be reunited with a lost pet.    “No-kill shelters from Galveston to Huntsville are full\, so there is virtually no place for strays or pound pets to go for help until rescue animals are adopted\,” said Karl Krell\, general manager of Humble Hyundai. “Houston has a huge animal overpopulation problem\, and we hope this event and our support of Best Friends Furever and Spay/Houston will help ease the city’s overcrowded conditions.”    Humble Hyundai is located at 18877 Highway 59 North in Humble\, Texas.

SUMMARY:Beginner Education Class at Carter's Pet Depot
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by Paw It Forward Training\, LLC! Click here for Easy Online Registration.    Join us for an exciting adventure through the educational marvels of Beginner Class Education! This is an excellent way to lay the foundation for your dog's future as a well-mannered pooch. It has been proven that training focused on the use of positive reinforcement strengthens the relationship between humans and their canine counterparts!    Paw It Forward Training is proud to be the first training company in Houston to structure group classes around a new program developed by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) called C.L.A.S.S.\, Canine Life and Social Skills. To learn more about the C.L.A.S.S. program\, click here. Chrissie took the steps necessary to become a certified evaluator and is ready to help you and your dog earn a B.A.\, M.A.\, and Ph.D.!    During our group class\, we will learn the following and apply to real-life situations: sit\, stay\, wait\, down\, come\, leave it\, off\, leash manners\, and properly greeting people/dogs. Training is educational\, but we also make it fun for you and your dog with games that incorporate the lessons.    Each new participant will receive a folder with curriculum and necessary handouts. The first class is without our dogs to discuss the next several weeks\, go over the Principles of Positive Training\, and answers any questions you may have. The first class is also the time to present a copy of your dog's current vaccinations record. We require this because we have your safety and best interest at heart! At the end of the course a graduation ceremony will be held and certificate of completion will be given. Feel free to bring the family for a photo opportunity!

Moreover\, this class gives you and your dog a chance to bond while working toward specific behavioral goals. We offer AKC Canine Country Club and STAR Puppy Classes.    Start your puppy off on the right paw in our puppy course.

SUMMARY:SMART Rescue Fundraiser With Cleo the Cat
DESCRIPTION:Cleo\, the Montrose cat and community activist\, is organizing an event to help SMART Rescue (a no-kill animal rescue organization) and Dominic Walsh Dance Theater\, Saturday May 21 at Mixed Emotions Fine Art called Cleo’s Trio: Art\, Music\, and Dance. The fundraiser will include performances by Two Star Symphony\, Dominic Walsh Dance Theater\, and Cleo will be there in her tutu. (Here's a video of Cleo: http://bit.ly/Cleo3)        SMART Rescue takes in animals that many others would refuse or kill. They save animals from kill shelters (like Harris County Animal Control where Cleo is from) and others that are very ill and/or abused. Since surgery is a necessity\, they are in need of cash. They also have a sanctuary for unadoptable animals to live out their lives in the peace and love all animals deserve. They commit to animals for life\, which means they take all animals back that have been adopted out and the owner can no longer care for. With the economy in such dire straits\, they are getting a lot of surrenders plus it is puppy and kitten season\, so there are tons of animals that need homes (especially kittens!).    To help with the kitten/cat crisis\, Spec’s Wines\, Spirits\, and Fine Foods downtown has graciously offered us a spot outside their doors this Saturday (4/30) and next Saturday (5/7) to display some cats/kittens for adoption and sell tickets to Cleo’s Trio for ½ price ($10). Cleo will be there too! We’ll be there from 10-1\, 2410 Smith Street.

DESCRIPTION:Type of Healing Offered  We can provide help for your animal in various ways:   We can help you take a look at your animal’s nutrition as often that can be the cause or contributing factor to health and behavioral issues. To learn about muscle testing for animals\, please click here.   This type of session is sometimes called a reiki or healing share.   Energy work such as reiki can be offered. Please note that holistic animal care is never a replacement for proper veterinary care. To learn more about the reiki offered in a free animal healing session\, click here.   If your animal wishes to tell us anything during the session\, we will share this information with you. Click here to learn more about animal communication.       Who Can Come   You may bring your pet of any kind for a healing session. Animals with contagious illnesses should not come. You can bring a photo of them instead.   In order to spend time with everyone that comes\, please only bring one animal per person.   If you pet is unable to make it\, bring us a photo and we can offer a distance consultation.   All healers are welcome to come assist us\, too.       What to Expect with Your Animal  Reiki/energy work\, nutrition and communication can have the ability to heal on a body\, mind\, and spirt level. In other words\, on a physical\, mental\, emotional\, and spiritual level. When we offer this service\, our intention is for the highest good of the animal. We are just a channel for this ability that is inside each and every one of us. We never know what kind of results will be achieved. It is possible that multiple or life long sessions will be ideal for your animal. If this is the case\, it is more beneficial for you to learn how to offer these services to your animal yourself by taking a workshop.   You can find out more about holistic animal classes here.   If you would like to read about some animals that have been helped at the free animal healing sessions\, you can read the testimonials here.   To see the wonderful TV news story featuring The Lightfoot Way free animal healing and animals we have helped\, see the above video.

Please contact Allison at 832-725-6002.   We see people in the order that they arrive as long as they have notified us in advance. Due to the amount of interest\, we are unable to accept walk ins.

SUMMARY:First Aid & CPR for Animals Workshops NEW
DESCRIPTION:First Aid & CPR for Animals Workshops NEW  According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)\, 1-out-of-4 more pets would survive\, if just one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting emergency veterinary care.  Thousands of pets are injured and die every year from preventable accidents.

Knowing the skills and techniques of pet first aid can mean the difference between life and death for your pet. This First Aid and CPR class includes a workbook and is taught with an emphasis on hands-on skills practice using ‘dummy’ dogs. The class includes:  •Restraining & Muzzling - restraining an injured pet\, using the pet’s natural instincts to reduce stress.  •Primary Pet Assessment – determining the life-saving actions necessary in an emergency in less than 30 seconds.  •Rescue Breathing – responding properly when a pet has a heartbeat but is not breathing.  •Canine & Feline CPR – responding properly when your pet has no heart beat and is not breathing.  •Choking Management – taking appropriate action when your pet is choking.  •Bleeding & Shock Management – controlling bleeding and preparing your injured pet for transportation.  •Snout-To-Tail Assessment –inspecting your pet from snout to tail to create a base-line of your pet's health or to discover injuries that may not be immediately obvious.  •Vitals Assessment – determining what is normal for your pet so you can quickly recognize signs of stress\, illness or injury.  •Pet First Aid Kit Contents – creating your own first aid kit with readily found materials.  •Insect Bites & Stings and Snakebite – reducing pain and controlling swelling and possible allergic reactions.  •Heat & Cold Injuries – preventing and responding to heat stroke\, burns and frost bite.  •Extra Tips – including stress-free ways to trim your pet’s nails and brush his teeth.
