Foster Families Needed for Animal Care Center Many pets that come to the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Care and Adoption Center looking for a home can't be adopted right away.The reasons vary, but include being too young for immediate adoption, having grown up without pec ple around, needing special medical attention and treatment, or being nervous � overly frightened. The chances of these animals fmding a new home are low without the help very special people—foster care volunteers. Foster care volunteers are animal lovers who have room in their homes and love in their hearts and reach out to these special animals in their time of need. Socializing animals and helping them to relax around people, and helping them to heal from wounds or illness means they will have an excellent chance finding a permanent new home later. Some require only a few days care while others may require extended stays. To participate in this life saving program, interested foster care volunteers must submit a Foster Care application and attend an orientation.

Your pet can be surgically ; altered at almost any age. If your dog, cat or rabbit is a female, the ' surgery is called "spaying." If your pet is a male, the operation is referred to as "neutering." There are many benefits to having your pets surgically altered. Both female dogs and cats benefit from spaying which eliinivates their heat cycles and generally reduces the negative behaviors, such as fre- "�`. quent yowiing and urination in unac- ��.�','y�� ceptable places that may lead to owner frustration and, ultimately, a decision to ,� relinquish the pet to a shelter. Most �" importantly, early spaying of female � Neutering male dogs and cats reduces the breeding instinct and can have a calmuig effect that makes them less inclined to roam and more content to stay at home. Neutering your male pet �,� also unproves his health by reducing the risk of prostate � disease, testicular cancer and infections. You will do your part to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies, kittens or �ftl : btuuzies and enhance your pet's health, quality of life and help with the pet population problem by spayirig or neu- t ` tering your pet. dogs and cats helps protect them from "�� " � � � ��eVent "� T$,'�V�l.t�� . serious health problems later in life �� ?� � � � �r�.�f ;��$`4 �' s�, . . such as uterine infections and breast =' �' '� PUpp1�S a'�11d �1��1S cancer. By spaying your female before her first "heat" you decrease the chances of breast cancer by 90%. Both male dogs and cats are likely to begin "marking" their , territories by spraying strong-smelling urine on your furniture, curtains, and in virtually any part of the house. Also, given the Yo ur Pet slightest chance, males may attempt to escape from home and roam in search of a mate. Dogs seeking a female in heat can become aggressive and may injure themselves and people by engaging in fights. � : � �, � r �: �. � �� ` � E �. m. , - _ _. a.__ . �_ ._.�.. __g...
