Recent Questions and Answers Do you have any pit bulls for adoptions? I just had to put down one we had for 13 years and wanted another one. June 24, 2008 Yes, we do have Pitbulls available for adoption here at the shelter. How best to train our Jack Russell to tolerate our kitten. Nothing is working yet. Need neuter info also. June 18, 2008 Please give me a call when you have a moment. I would like to discuss exactly what your dogs is doing. I recently inherited my mom's chihuahua. She passed away. He is 4. She has been very sick the last 3 1/2 yrs. of his life. He was left alone for months by himself. He will not let you put a leash on him. It scares him and he bites the leash and tries to bite me. You cannot put a collar on him too. He had to be sedated at the vet. for shots. He's happy and doesn't try to bite any other time. What do I do to get the leash and collar on him? June 14, 2008 Please be very careful when trying to work with him!!!! Please call me when you have a moment, I would really like to help! (909) 623-9777 ext. 612 Hi Misty, I have a soon to be 12 year old Lab and although she's alright now, I wanted to know what to do if she dies at home. Someone told me to call the Humane Society and thy'd pick her up. What happens then, do they provide cremation and what would the fee be? It makes me sad to even think like this, but I want to be prepared ahead of time. Thank you June 13, 2008 Yes, you are more than welcome to call us to pick her up. We do have a company that provides cremation services. When the time comes, just call our office (909) 623-9777. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know!
