      <image:title>Adopt - Are you ready to welcome a cat or dog into your home?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Adopt a pet and you’ll not only change an animal’s life for the better, you’ll change yours too! There are so many great reasons for you to consider adding a pet to your family. Pets can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship. And just like humans, pets come in all shapes and sizes, ages and have a wide range of temperaments. Some of our animals have special needs, require medications or need training. We believe that every animal - perfectly imperfect - can thrive, with a good home and a loving human.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Foster - EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do you enjoy the company of cats or dogs, and want to help out - but are not ready to adopt? Fostering might be a great option for you. We have times where there are more animals than we have room to care for at the shelter - and sometimes, we receive animals that need individualized care that we can’t provide at the shelter. A home is always going to be quieter and less stressful than the best shelter space. You can ease the transition and give animals the kind of companionship and environment that reveals their authentic personalities and preferences. Become a foster, save lives, and gain a friend!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Lost Pets - DOGS</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. Search yard, house, and call by name and expression the dog likes, such as “Treat” or “Go for a ride”. If you have another dog, take it with you while searching. 2. Leave the dog's bedding or clothing with your scent (t-shirts, pajamas, and pillowcases) by the location dog was last seen. 3. Leave food, water, and crate outside 4. If practical, leave doors open to the house. 5. Recruit neighbors and friends to search. Remind people not to chase the dog. Bring a leash, treats, and a current photo of the dog to show people. 6. Don’t give up!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Lost Pets - CATS</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. In survival mode, cats are less concerned with food and more concerned with staying undetected. Most indoor cats will remain frozen, in silence for several days. In most cases, 10-14 days, and skittish cats may be longer. 2. Do a thorough search within your home and yard. Cats are hiding ninjas. “Think like a cat” – the perspective of the world from 10” tall. Include a request for neighbors to check around their homes/garages. 3. If practical, leave doors and windows open to the house. 4. Make large bright posters with a photo of the cat as the largest element of the poster. Put one in your yard and every intersection within a 500’ radius of the last place the cat was seen. Distribute to every door within the neighborhood.  5. Search in the daytime. Lure at night. 6. Don’t give up! For the ultimate guide to finding a lost cat, consider the “Lost Cat Kit”</image:caption>
