Family dog returned after 2 years, thanks to a microchip
If you want to be proactive about saving your pet's life, regular veterinary visits, pet insurance and keeping a cat indoors only are certainly high on the list. But the most powerful tool of all could be about the size of a grain of rice: a microchip.

Dog's bad reaction to rabies vaccine worries owner
Q: I've stepped outside the law because Washington State recently passed a rabies vaccine law that doesn't allow for exceptions. My dog had a life-threatening reaction to his first rabies vaccine, and is definitely not going to get another one. Do I have any recourse?

Sorry, but dog and cat lovers far outnumber those who prefer life in the no-pets lane
I look forward to reader comments, questions and concerns. Here's a selection I received recently:
Sushi is a neutered male Shih Tzu mix rescued from Animal Care and Control in order to address some allergy concerns. He would be best matched in an adult home willing to support his need for specialized food. For adoption information, call 333-9534 or apply online at www.friendsofpets.org. Tip: Mark your calendars for Dog Jog, July 28 at East High School.
AACCC Adoption of the Week: Meet Rascal
Rascal was featured as our Pet of the Week in July 2009, right about the time when he participated in the Anchorage 4th of July Parade and did wonderfully with crowds and families! This handsome fellow is friendly and pleasant, curious, and enjoys the company of humans. He's excellent on his leash, a steady walking buddy, and gets along great with the other shelter dogs in play group. He is also kennel trained! Tolerant and very affectionate, he enjoys attention and head-rubs (but won't bother you if you're busy). Has lived with a small dog--they played chase together--and is friendly with kids. Rascal will make a wonderful, low-key companion! Rascal can be adopted for $42, as he is already neutered, which includes his MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip. Call 343-8122 for more information.
This adorable pair is looking for a home where they can continue to live together. Mookie is a neutered male long-haired dachshund, and Bambi is a spayed female Corgi. For adoption info, call 333-9534 or apply online at friendsofpets.org. Tip: It is illegal to allow your dog to ride loose in the back of pickups. Use a kennel or harness, or let them ride in the cab for safety.
