An article from the Baltimore Sun two years ago, illustrates the dangers...

He still needs a foster home and preferably, one that will keep him as an indoor dog and not one which would leave him unsupervised outside. He is an 'escape artist'.)Yesterday, I received a call from Hedgesville Hounds, a rescue organization with an uncommon commitment to placing homeless dogs in loving homes. Hedgesville Hounds will help ChuCho, a homeless chow chow, until the perfect home is found for him. Thank you! Of course, ChuCho would never have had that chance for a second home, without the support of our local Humane Society in Rockville, Maryland, which works with animal rescue organizations in our area.If you want to help Hedgeville Hounds with their mission, they need foster homes, donations, volunteers AND of course, adoptions.

[Syndic8.com] posted by DC @ 2:03 PM Thank you to everyone who has ever helped to place abandoned pets in new homes. Our own dog was once a homeless dog and would have been put down, had it not been for a selfless couple who took him in for three months as a foster. We treasure him and he is now a successful therapy dog who visits people and cheers them up in ways that no human can; this is his fifth year of service and he still relishes his work. My once homeless dog is a continual delight to everyone who meets him and a daily source of inspiration to me.If you want to make your own miracle story happen, here's your opportunity. A month ago, I got a call from the Montgomery County Humane Society to help find another sweet chow a home. He's still in the shelter. This time, this dog's plea is more desperate. His time is running out.I've met this dog, walked him and played with him, and believe me, he is worthy of a good home. He has a friendly disposition and he listens well. Unfortunately, I won't take him; I have two dogs which are high maintenance (two hip replacements, two ACL surgeries, thyroid and arthritis issues, etc.) and I've made a lifetime commitment to them. Can you help? Can you find ChuCho a home?His plight is all the more poignant when you learn his story. He has never had a real home. He's been kept outside all of his life without walks or friends. His 'family' decided to get rid of him when he kept digging under the fence and running away. Happily, his temperment remains sweet and he's trainable. The Humane Society assures me he is in excellent health. They have great sympathy for him, but he hasn't found a home yet. Now, they're talking about 'putting him down.'His problem is that he is a chow chow and that very label scares people off. I'm here to tell you that if the Humane Society says he's a great dog, with a friendly temperment who's passed his temperment test with flying colors, he's worth a chance. You could foster him (if you live in Montgomery County, Maryland) if you are unsure if you want him and find out for yourself what a great dog he is. Or, you could even ADOPT him. Chucho is the most beautiful and friendly chow I have ever seen. This neutered male chow chow is in good health, intelligent and trainable. He is mostly white with splashes of golden fur across his back;. his sunny disposition matches his gorgeous fur coat.CHUCHO - ID#A258444 I am a neutered male, fawn Chow Chow. The shelter staff think I am about 1 year and 6 months old. I have been at the Rockville, Maryland, shelter since Dec 10, 2004. For more information about me, call: Montgomery County Animal Control & Humane Society at (240) 773-5960Ask for information about animal ID number A258444, tag #49I know Chucho will bring good fortune and luck to his new family and home; can you make it happen. He needs your help. posted by DC @ 4:43 PM Dogs left outside in bitter cold, 20 degrees or below, may suffer frostbite or even death. NY Frostbite sounds like a treatable problem, but sadly, often it's a horrible death sentence. How many caretakers are willing to keep a dog who has had its paws amputated; untreated, severe frostbite can cause a dog's paws to drop off... Save your money, your heart and your dog, by bringing it inside:'English recommends avoiding leaving your dogs outside at all costs, adding that just because they have fur coats doesn't mean they can endure cold temperatures...' [Oneida Daily Dispatch] posted by DC @ 1:21 PM Cold Weather fur facts DC While the US east coast is bracing for a winter storm which is expected to drop up to 8 inches of snow this weekend, pet owners are warned to bring their pets inside. Many owners do not do so because they believe these common myths:Myth: Dogs and cats can fend for themselves in winter weather. Nothing could be further from the truth. The sad fact is that during winter many animal shelters are forced to euthanize cats suffering from irreparable frost bite of their ears and noses. [Chilling not healthy for pets, Journal World]'The skin on an animal can freeze in as little as 20 minutes in sub-zero temperatures, according to local veterinarians and animal-care experts. Veterinarians at the North Shore Animal Hospital on Neptune Boulevard in Lynn said animals should not be outside for more than 10 minutes in temperatures below 20 degrees...' [Fur Factor, Daily Item of Lynn]Myth: Long-haired dogs can be left safely outside in frigid weather. Truth: even a heavy coated dog can freeze to death, especially if its coat gets wet. If the dog doesn't freeze to death, it can sustain frostbite and suffer if it has pre-existing arthritis. 'No pet should be left outside in temperatures below 40 degrees. Short-coated breeds and small dogs should be supplemented with a coat or a sweater. Outdoor breeds such as huskies and malamutes need warm shelter from the wind and cold as well as a source of unfrozen water...' [Cold weather related illness and your pet, Telegraph Online]Myth: dogs don't need water outside and can be fed water only at night. While it's true that water freezes quickly in 20 degree weather, that doesn't mean animals don't require it. Dogs and cats become more easily dehydrated in frigid weather. "Any dogs left out in this winter should have food and water and a shelter that keeps them dry. Water is difficult to supply to outside animals in the cold weather. A special effort has to be made to make sure it is at least available three times a day." [Wild weather brings warnings, Beloit Daily News]Myth: dogs and cats can stay warm and alone in a car during cold weather. If the car's heater is running, yes... but it wouldn't be safe to leave the car running with animals alone in it. Cars become virtual freezers in freezing weather. [Pets and animals in distress, ]Truth: extreme weather requires extra precautions with pets, even so-called outdoor pets. "This is extreme. This isn't normal. We just have to take the measures, for animals that stay outside, to make them comfortable..." Vicki Davis, executive director of the Tri-County Humane Society [Low temperatures pose dangers for pets, St. Cloud Times]Myth: someone else will take care of that freezing pet you spotted outside. It's not your problem and it's okay to ignore an animal who can't speak for itself. If you see a pet freezing in the cold, ask its caretaker to bring it inside and provide it a warm home. Most people care about their pets and would never intentionally allow them to die in the cold... posted by DC @ 1:07 PM Pet owners beware: pet microchips fail as standards change The pet microchip industry, previously standardized on a 125 kilohertz broadcast, now also offers a 134.2 kilohertz broadcast frequency, leading to errors in scanning and fewer lost pets recovered. 'There's no way to know how many lost animals might have been unclaimed by their owners and improperly euthanized because their chips couldn't be read by available scanners...' Shelters using 125 microchip scanners cannot identify Banfield PetSmart pet microchips, implanted with 134.2 microchips.
