 Expert Insight

This week in the AnimalAttraction.com Expert Advice section, Scotlund Haisley, director of the Washington Animal Rescue League, tells us what life is like today for animals in the Big Easy. 
 
"On a tour of one rural Louisiana shelter the director told me about the problems they currently face.  For one, Katrina left large numbers of animals homeless on the streets and in the parks.  They are producing multiple post-Katrina generations of homeless animals.  Others are turned in by people who are still struggling to rebuild their lives and cannot manage to make ends meet.  As for adopters, the director told me that there is almost no one there who is in any position to adopt."

I think it's a good idea if all dogs learn signs. Hand signals are good for controlling your pet from a distance, not interrupting conversations, etc.

Molly obeys hand signals really well. Zorro on the other hand, knows them, but picks and chooses which ones he wants to respond to!
