BASIC ANIMAL CARE
Dogs as well as
all pets need special love and care. Wilshire and his four-legged
friends depend on their human companions to feed them, bathe them,
walk them and clean up after them. Dogs also count on people to
provide them a safe, comfortable home and protect them from danger.

WILSHIRE'S DOGGIE CARE TIPS
* Make sure
your dog gets lots of exercise, walk it at least twice a day, use a
leash and clean up after it!
* Never
leave your dog tied up unattended
* Be sure
to feed your animal a healthy diet in proper proportions for its
size. Most dogs need to eat at least twice a day. Check with your
veterinarian and keep up with the latest research on pet nutrition
* Never
feed your dog chocolate or grapes
* Always
have fresh, filled water bowls available to your dog
* Be sure
your dog has a safe, enclosed yard or area to play in with plenty of
shade so it doesn’t get lost or hit by a car. Make sure dogs can’t
fall in pools or water areas accidentally.
* Dogs
should always wear nametags that include your current phone number
and address. Consider a tracking chip in case it gets lost.
* Brush
your dog regularly to keep fur healthy, shiny and tangle free
* Bathe
your dog as needed for its size and breed. Be aware over washing can
dry out skin. Use an appropriate doggie shampoo.
* Make sure
your dog has proper dental care and nail trimmings. Ask your vet
for advice.
* Be sure
to keep all medicines and small objects your dog could swallow
out of reach.

ADOPT WILSHIRE'S FRIENDS!
 Charlie
- Rescued at 4 months old from the North Central Animal Shelter
with a case of demodex mange (non-contagious). He is on his way to a
full recovery now at 5 months. His hair is growing back, and he is
as healthy, happy and playful as ever. Ready to be adopted by a
Rescue group or loving family.
 Hermione
is a 7-8 month old shepherd/lab mix that was dropped off at the So
LA Shelter with severe demotic mange. She was pulled from the
shelter and she has been recuperating at Brent Air Animal Hospital
and is improving daily. She is not contagious to other animals or
people but still will need to take medication while her fur
continues to grow back. She is sweet and shy and would like nothing
more than to be loved and cherished.
