Lady is a healthy chunk now! She looks fantastic! It was an uphill battle and she had to be treated for heartworm too. Thanks Dr. Thomas for doing such an excellent job in treating her heartworms. Heartworms come when a dog is bitten by a mosquito. Make sure your dog gets monthly heartworm preventative pills eve-ry month all year. Talk to your vet-erinarian about it. Thank you Kim for being such a SUPER FOSTER MOM for Lady and her puppies and the trips to the vet offices.

The Animal Sanctuary

Society, Inc. is proud to be

a safe haven to animals.

We provide vet care, medi-

cine, surgeries, food, shel-

ter, & other necessities to

our animals until the day

they are adopted. We will

not euthanize an animal

because no one is adopt-

ing him or her by a cer-

tain time. This is possible

because of the generous

public donations & con-

tributions of people like

you.

Lady struggled to keep her eight pups alive even when she was close to death herself. Two pups died right after being rescued; they were in such bad shape with coccidia, intestinal worms and pooping blood. It was very sad! Six pups happily survived and are adopted into loving homes!

Animals act like flying missiles in an impact and

can not only hurt themselves but hurt their hu-

mans, too. Dogs that hang so far out the window

could leap out. The law allows NJSPCA officers to

pull drivers that they believe to be transporting

animals improperly.

Sadly, 100,000 dogs die each year falling from or

jumping out of pickup truck beds. A total of 10

states have passed laws requiring drivers to re-

strain any pets riding in open parts of a moving

vehicle. If you secure your pet in a crate or har-

ness so they can’t fall out of the truck bed, you

shouldn’t get in trouble from law enforcement.

The details vary state to state. Remember: Keep in

mind safety for you & your pet

while traveling. Also keep in mind weather

conditions: too hot or too cold! While harness-

es are the best way to keep your beloved pet

from going airborne in the unfortunate event

of an accident, there are many ways to make

pets safe. Keeping dogs out of the front seat is

a way to ensure that the driver can stay fo-

cused, making the ride safer for both furry and

human passengers. For animals that climb up

to the front seat even when they’re placed in

the back, consider securing them in a crate. If

your dog’s crate doesn’t fit in the car, you can

buy a barrier to keep them out of the front seat.

Julep, the Black Lab Gets an Emergency

Flight up Before Her Pups are Born

We saved her from a crowded shelter in the nick of time to save her life. We found out afterwards she was pregnant. Thanks so much to Pilots for Paws for getting her to us right away. Julep had a private four legged copilot. He was dressed in doggie ear muffs, and all to protect his ears from noise, since he copilots a lot when helping home-less animals. His ear gear is off in the pic-ture. If anyone wants to help with fostering pregnant Moms e-mail us at animalsanctu-arys @aol.com.

We also know a young woman that

was driving with her cat, and was

in a car accident. The car windows

crashed out, and the cat got lost.

That woman searched so very long

many times for her cat and couldn’t

find her. PLEASE READ THE ADVICE IN

THE PREVIOUS ARTICLE ABOVE TO PRE-

VENT FURTHER SUCH TRAGEDIES FROM

HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE!

Just recently, we have been getting

emails that someone in NJ was in a

car accident, and their beloved cat

is now missing out of the car. For

days, the pet parent is desperately

trying to find her cat and asking

for help sending out emails to res-

cues. IT IS SO HEARTBREAKING!

Do you think dogs can fly? We know they can!

ANIMALS TRAVELING SAFELY IN VEHICLES

Julep flies to safety. Pregnant

with pups. She touches ground.

Thanks, foster mom Liz for coming

through to foster very pregnant,

Julep!

Julep had 8 pups!

These 4 cuties are hers.

Have you seen vehicles traveling with their

dogs sticking their heads out of the window

or sitting on their owner’s lap?

Not only isn’t this a safe way for a pet to

travel, but it’s illegal in New Jersey. New

Jersey has passed a law requiring drivers to

restrain pets inside their cars; this means that

pets can’t lean their heads out of windows or

sit in driver’s laps. In NJ, drivers with unre-

strained pets can receive a fine of $250-$1000,

or even disorderly offence under animal cru-

elty.

Cooper & Fletcher are

ready to travel safely in

their crates!

“OK, Enzo, my brother cat. I am up

now to squirrel watch with you!”

Love, Piper

(adopted out to a loving home by Ani-

mal Sanctuary Society, Inc.)

“I thought you said this was my

bed too, didn’t you?” Love, Piper

“Will you please turn off the lights! I

don’t have to go to work, school, or dog

training class today!” Thanks, Piper

“Tell Piper for me

that most dog beds

are so comfy!”

Thanks, Braden Piper keeping warm & ready

to nap with sister, Heidi.

Parker (on the right) is pic-

tured here with his sister. As a

puppy he was pulled from a kill

shelter on the day he was going

to be euthanized due to lack of

space. His pet mom says that

he is the “love of her life” &

frequently sends us pictures of

Parker’s new life: riding in the

car or the boat, or at the beach.

Your donations help

change the world for

Parker & many,

many, more precious

dolls like him. Look

at that big smile!

“I didn't realize I had a

hole in my heart that

needed to be filled

until I met Eloise,”

states the 10 year girl

pet parent (standing

next to her Mom in

this picture ) the day

she adopted Eloise.

The girls decided to

change Eloise’s name

to Coco.

Coco attended begin-

ners classes at

Petsmart. The family

signed her up the

same day she was

adopted & bought her

new pet supplies

while they were there.

Bella lives on a lake and beautiful countryside with

a super loving family and a large extended family

visiting with friendly dogs.

Bella loves her boat!

Look at her smile!

“Hey, I’m ready for

my seatbelt!”

Thanks, Parker

To the Dear People at Animal Sanctuary,

On January 27, 2009, we adopted an adorable Wire Haired Terrier from

Animal Sanctuary. Trooper (his name was originally Lucky) came to us

at age 10 just shy of his 11th birthday. We adopted him for my mother

who lived with us and was 91 at the time. When I first called about

Trooper, we thought that he was 6. When we were told he might be 8, I

was unsure if we wanted to adopt a dog that might not live very long.

The woman on the phone assured me that this dog might be the perfect

companion for my mom and that we should come to see him. Well, we

all fell in love with him at first sight and pet! Then we found out he was

10, and turning 11 on April 1st. But it did not matter!

Trooper was wonderful with all of us but a constant companion for my

mom. He slept next to her bed and followed her to the bathroom on

each of her nightly trips. At times my mom would ask me where he was.

We would laugh because he would be right behind her! He was such a

loving dog and we were so very lucky to have him. My mother passed

away at the age of 96 on January 24, 2014. Trooper followed 7 weeks

later on March 13, 2014. He was 3 weeks shy of his 16th birthday. My

mother’s biggest fear was that her beloved Trooper would die before her,

but he remained vigilant till the day she died at home.

I am sorry that I did not write this sooner, but doing it was much harder

than I thought. But I did want to thank you so much for the enjoyment

Trooper brought to my mom and our family.

Sincerely, Rosemary Thompson

Trooper brought enjoyment to mom & family

True Friends

Even when they’re gone, they never

leave our side.

The love in our hearts lasts forever.

Luna & foster mom, Liz!

Luna & foster dog Mimi

Luna & Julep

Pablo was 2 years old when I adopted him from ASSI.

He was very sweet and remained that way until the

day he passed. Pablo had a very good life with me.

He was 13 years old when he passed and I had the

pleasure of having 8 years with him. He would wake

me up every morning to eat. He was my alarm clock.

He loved being outside but I would not let him go out.

Although at times, he would sneak out when I would

come home with my hands full. He was a very smart

cat! I miss Pablo very much and always will. He was

my best furry friend.

Liz, one of our dear foster parents, lost her beloved Luna to cancer. Liz was so

terrific with Luna, making sure she was comfortable as she battled her cancer.

Luna was rescued from a shelter after being given up twice and having puppies.

She finally found a loving home. She was such a great companion, she never

left her owner’s side. Luna had two hip replacements and a bout with cancer

where she had to undergo chemotherapy. She had arthritis in her joints but

she never stopped wagging her tail . She was always willing to give up her bed

and food dish for foster pups her mom took in . Luna lived to old age being

loved and giving love.

Keep your pet safe & healthy !

Flea and Tick preventative should be used on all animals year round. Dogs can get Lyme disease from a

tick bite just like people. Try to keep animals out of long grass, bushes, and leaf piles and be sure to

check your pet thoroughly every day. Ticks can be as small as a little dot. If a dog eats a flea, it can get

tape worm from it.

Raven and her five kittens were saved just

before they were going to be euthanized at

an overcrowded shelter. One kitten had a

serious underlying problem and had to be

euthanized at the ER even after being at

the vet’s office and receiving great care

from foster mom, Liz; who tried her best to

nurture the kitten following doctors in-

structions and providing it with lots of lov-

ing care. She carried the kitten all over

the house with her to be sure it was safe

and loved. We are so appreciative of Liz’s

kind loving heart that she shared with this

little angel. The good news is that Raven

and her four other kittens have been

adopted into loving homes.

Memorials and Survivors

Pepper gave great joy and is sadly

missed!

An older couple adopted Pepper from us years ago.

She died several weeks ago. The couple has called us

and emailed us several times about their deep sad

loss. They informed us she gave them great joy.

They miss her so very much.

SAVED FROM SURE DEATH AT AN OVERCROWEDED KILL SHELTER,

TO DOING GOD’S WORK

Tucker was going to be euthanized because

there was no more room for him at an over-

crowded shelter. And look at him now! We are

so proud of him and his pet parent. They do

such good deeds together helping children and

adults!

Tucker has a TDI canine good citizen and Ther-

apy Dog Certification!

Tucker is giving emotional support to special

needs children.

Our Dogs Help Veterans with

Post Traumatic Stress

We knew Dallas aka Sarge was an exceptional dog and when a local organization, who we

knew and trusted, needed a trained service dog to help a veteran with PTS, we highly recommended

Sarge. He went through a vigorous six month service dog training. We were thrilled and so proud of

Sarge at his graduation ceremony, where we met his new family and veteran who now has him as his

service dog and pet.

Sarge means the world to the veteran who suffered from PTS. The Iraqi war had taken its toll

on the veteran. Because of the help of Sarge, the veteran is able to work and help other veterans in

the city. Sarge goes to work everyday with him. At the ceremony, the veteran was in tears, especially

remembering at the beginning of the war, a little Iraqi girl who waved a stuffed toy (she got from the

American soldiers - Americans from home would send toys for the Iraqi children) in the middle of the

road when they were in the truck. The little girl warned her American friends of danger ahead. After-

wards, it was realized by the military, that it was not safe for the children to befriend them because

of terrible consequences for the children.

Presently, Sarge also helps the veteran shop in stores and will go in front or behind the veter-

an if someone is coming too close making it possible for the veteran to be able to go into stores. Thank

you and lots of paw hugs to you Sarge.
