We need the votes for Broward County

Voting Rally Tomorrow! Join us Saturday, April 14, for a special “Rock the Vote” rally in order to generate votes for the Qualifying Heat in the 2012 Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. Broward County Animal Care is currently in sixth place and we are attempting a first-place finish in order to automatically win a $25,000 grant. The rally will be held at our Fort Lauderdale Adoption Center, 1870 SW 39 St., Fort Lauderdale. The event will feature musical entertainment by Scott Evans Productions, as well as free family pet pictures, face painting, refreshments and pet treats for all who vote. So please support our effort to save lives!

Bottle Feeders Urgently Needed! Kitten season, from May to September, is almost here. It is during this time of year that we see a big increase in the number of young kittens that come into our Adoption Centers. Many of these kittens are orphaned and, therefore, must be bottle fed by a loving and caring Foster Parent in order to survive. Very young kittens must be bottle fed within hours of arriving at our shelter, so a strong team of bottle feeders is essential to their survival and growth. Foster Parent applicants should be able to have the time to bottle feed every few hours day and night. To register to provide foster care, please contact our Foster Coordinator, at 954-359-1313 ext. 9271.

SPECIAL EDITION
Pet Registration Tags-Easier to get than ever!There is good news for the growing number of pets’ owners living in Broward County. Animal Care and Adoption is making it easier than ever to obtain a registration tag for dogs and cats, regardless if your pet spends time outside or is strictly kept indoors.

All dogs and cats within the County are required to have current registration tags by the age of four months and renewed annually, even if the animal is already identified by a microchip and/or tattoo.

Residents can now purchase new pet registration tags or renew existing tags via these methods:

• Visit any of the 130 participating veterinary offices
• In person, by visiting any of the Broward County Animal Care locations
• By Mail
• Local Pet Supermarket stores (one-year licenses only)
• Access renewal registration tags online at Broward County Animal Care (renewals only; one-year licenses only)

In order to obtain a pet registration tag, your dog or cat must have proof of a current rabies vaccination, usually in the form of a rabies certification that was issued by a licensed veterinarian. Typically, responsible pet owners choose the convenience of purchasing the required registration tag at the time their pets receive their annual health check-up and rabies vaccination. All veterinarians providing services to Broward County pets are encouraged to participate as providers of the pet registration tags in order to extend the convenience to their clients.

The network of providers share vital registration information directly with Broward County Animal Care and Adoption, which is maintained in a centralized database. Access to the database information has been the key to successfully reuniting lost pets displaying current registration tags with their owners. Any owner wanting to verify the current status of a pet’s registration, may access the Pet Database at broward.org/animal, complete the search by entering the pet registration tag number and then clicking RECORD UPDATE. Pet owners can also contact Broward County Animal Care and Adoption at 954-359-1313 and verify or update records over the phone.
