The SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the Alley Cat & Angles are both non-profit organizations that are all volunteers working together to rescue strays, abandoned and abused animals. The Alley Cat & Angel directly deal with cats; while the SPCA mostly work with dogs, but they do work with other house held animals. Once the animals are taken care of in a foster home environment and have met the conditions they need, including health and nurturing, they are ready to find a safe, loving, and permanent home. Both organizations have their own website that has a description of the animal, including what they like, how they do with kids and if they are housetrained. However, they both have a different way of showing off the pets on the website.
Both the SPCA and the Alley Cat & Angel have a profile for each of their pets that they have in their faculty, which differs in style. The profiles on the Alley Cat & Angel website are in 3rd person. This organization lists out the name, gender, and the personality of the cat. On the other hand, the SPCA set up their pets’ profiles in 1st person. Making the animal seem more personal and get to a personal level with the people reading the profile. The pets in the

But, they both also target people who are unsure if they want a pet or already to have a pet living in their home. However, both the SPCA and Alley Cat & Angel have a solution for the ones who are unsure about adopting a pet, offering a visit to meet the pet of their choice. Children and other household pets can visit the pet in the faculty to see how they get along. For people that do not know what kind of dog, cat or small critter they want, the SPCA offers a survey for what kind of pet would fit the lifestyle of the person or people adopting. The type of animal you get depends on how long you are willing to spend outside, work hours, and current or past pets they have
In 2010 the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) came out with a commercial that would shock the advertisement industry. The effectiveness of this commercial is proven, simply by watching the reactions of the commercial’s viewers. For those who have never seen the video it has a very sad and morose tone to it. The commercial begins with showing pictures and videos of suffering animals with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this commercial. When thinking of pieces of Rhetoric that demonstrates the use of pathos, the first thing I think of is this commercial. The sole purpose of this commercial is to emotionally compromise the audience until eventually the viewers will donate money to the cause. This video is so affective at completing this goal because of the way it connects to the viewers, and the way it uses many different methods to attack the viewer’s emotions.
Animal rescue, especially, has been a large part of my identity. Continually since birth, my family has been members of the League for Animal Welfare (LFAW), a no-kill shelter dedicated towards rehoming previously displaced animals. It became custom for me to visit the shelter
...he ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is a humane organization that works to prevent animal cruelty and fight to rescue the lives of neglected animals. The Humane Society of the United States is a similar organization that fights for the rights of animals.
Making the right to choice to adopt befits you, your pet, and all the other stray animals that do not yet have homes. By, adopting through the human center you can save money while still obtaining a new pet. Not only will you be helping the lives of other stray animals but you would not be contributing to the inhuman puppy mill industry. The overpopulation of stray animals can be combated if you make the right choice and adopt from the humane
What do the following have in common? Dedication, commitment, raising awareness, fund-raising, and life saving programs? That's right! The ASPCA! This organization stands for American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They have accomplished all of the above and much more. From providing millions of animals with adequate shelter, and the proper care they deserve, the ASPCA is a charitable organization that positively impacts the nation. People can only imagine the horror of having to give up a pet for reasons beyond their control, they would be devastated for sure. More importantly, they would want to find a place that would provide their pet with a loving home, and people who would care for it as they have. The ASPCA has a reputation that wouldn't leave pet owners with any doubts about the safety and well-being of their pets.
Service dogs are another form of Animal Assisted Therapy. For example, a person that is deaf can own a hearing dog. “In these circumstances, a hearing dog can offer ameliorative benefits aside from alerting the caregiver to the phone ringing. A dog, being a full-time companion, ends up being a conversational partner that responds behaviorally to the statements and moods of other people nearby” (Fine 67). The dog becomes more than just a pet, but acts as a family member that takes full-time care of you.
Ideally, pet supply would be equal to the demand for wanted pets. There may never be enough caring homes for all the pets as is evident by the fact that only about 25 percent of the pets in shelters are ever adopted. F...

That our memory isn’t veridical is not a novel idea. This means that we don’t perfectly remember everything that we have seen or experienced in the past. Broadly speaking, there are two fundamental memory errors that occur in everyday life. One is forgetting events that have occurred, and the other is remembering something that did not transpire (or misremembering them in the way that they occurred). The first error, forgetting, is very common, and needs no explanation. We can all think of instances where our memory has failed us. However, the latter error is a more curious scenario. Often times, when a friend mentions a funny episode that happened at a party you were at, you might incorporate that into your memory even though you yourself may have not witnessed it. In fact, you may even go as far as to visualizing the event in your head. This begs the question, how could a memory that seems so clear and vivid in one’s head be anything but completely accurate? And more importantly, why do we make such errors in remembering events?
Call to Action: Challenge your audience to be a responsible pet consumer and not purchase dogs from pet stores or from the Internet. I encourage you to instead, adopt from their local animal shelter. At an animal shelter, you can find many amazing, healthy animals. If you do buy from a breeder, use extreme caution and ask to see the puppy’s parents. Also, please contact your congressional representative and encourage him or her to help pass the PUPS bill.
Animal-assisted therapy is often confused with service dog; it is two completely different type of usage of animals, which usually are dogs. It is commonly misunderstood because animal-assisted therapy and service dog are working animals with individuals with disability although according to (Hart-Cohen, 2009) service dogs is when an individual with disability is in need of help in order to function in daily life such as answering the door, crossing the street and the list goes on. While animal-assisted therapy animals are trained to offer comfort companionship, and affection to those in need in different situations such as courtrooms, nursing homes, schools, hospitals, and other places (Hart-Cohen, 2009). The point of animal-assisted therapy is to be available in specific situations to offer comfort to individuals. In order to become an assisted animal, the animal must undergo training, to receive a certified to prove that the animal is qualified to be able to control his or her behavior and is able to work with an...

We all are busy people who are out of the house most of the day. We need a companion to help us ease the stress from daily life. For example, if you are purr-catinating on essays or preparing for speeches late at night, you at least have a companion by your side. A great companion is the cat, you get to pet a fluffy thing and get free scratches. Why cats? Well, cats are purr-ty interesting creatures. According to Discovery News, in 1960s, the CIA tried to turn a cat into a spy, but un-fur-tunately, they failed when the cat was ran over by a cab. Another interesting fact according to Buzzfeed is female cats are typically right-pawed while male cats are typically left-pawed. There is also a cat island named Tashirojima that are terrorized by stray cats in Japan. The main problem is there are too many cats in the shelters that need a home, according to ASPCA, approximately 3.4 million cats enter the shelters every year. Well the solution to this is you can adopt a cat. There are a few things you need to do before adopting a cat.
First, research the type of pet you are considering as an addition to life. Many websites, pet stores, and book stores have information on many various pets. Simple care sheets are often available which list general details about a specific pet and what it requires. This will help narrow down your selection, whether you are considering something soft and fluffy or a pet with scales and a forked tongue. Some people will buy an Asian Water Monitor without realizing they grow up to six feet long, that they require a lot of live meat like rabbits for a diet, and the person ends up having to find it a new home. Another way to ensure the pet you are considering is what you wa...
Many people believe that the only way to get a pet is to “buy” one without considering adopting, which is why I believe people should consider looking up better options and become more knowledgeable. There are so many reasons why someone shouldn’t buy a pet from a breeder, and so many benefits from adopting a pet from your local shelter/animal rescue.
