It is our sincere hope that this site will help reunite
owners with their animals. You've heard the expression, "A
picture is worth a thousand words." We feel that being able
to see a photo of an animal is much better than reading,
"Lost...small brown dog....", etc. , or trying to see what
an animal looks like from a blotchy photocopy on a telephone
pole. Of course, we encourage owners to pursue every
possible avenue to recover their lost animals. If you've
lost an animal, even if you submit a listing to this site,
you should still put a free, three-day ad in the Record
Searchlight, and call the animal shelters (See Shelters Page
for phone numbers).
We are a "Mom & Pop" operation. We're going to attempt
to always have someone available to process and load
listings, but there may be some times when we are not able
to line up a substitute. Please check the Bulletin Page if
your listing does not seem to be getting uploaded in a
timely manner. The Bulletin Page will tell you if we're
having equipment problems, if we're out of town (Yes,....we
do take a vacation once in a while!), or if some other
factor is affecting our ability to do what we're here for.
We'll put advance notice on the Bulletin Page whenever
possible if we know we're not going to be here for some
reason.
If you encounter any problems navigating this site, please
e-mail us. We would like to know ASAP if we have a
non-functioning link or other mechanical problem (poor
graphics, etc.).
In the future, we hope to be able to at least dip into the
unwanted animal problem and help with getting these animals
adopted. As you are probably aware, this is a HUGE problem,
necessitating the slaughter of thousands of animals every
year. We're trying to arrange for the shelters to have
digital cameras on hand so they can take photos we can
process.
IF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WOULD LIKE TO DONATE A CAMERA TO
ONE OF THE SHELTERS, PLEASE DROP US A NOTE OR AN E-MAIL.
There is one particular camera that stores images on regular
floppies that would be well suited for this purpose.
Depending on your perspective, they are not even
outrageously expensive....less than $500. Of course, the
floppies are inexpensive and can be used over and over,
making this a long-term and economical investment.
You've probably all noticed that this site is a little heavy
on the cat graphics. We do have three cats and no dogs (at
the moment). One reason is that we haven't found all that
many dog graphics we like, and another is that the graphics
we found at CAT STUFF (see link on Home Page) are so-oo
great! So, here's another, "THANK YOU, GLENDA MOORE!"
floating around out here on the Net (her name just seems to
pop up all over the place!).
Please feel free to e-mail or regular-mail us with any
comments you may have about this site. Since we are a small
operation, we may not have time to answer all the mail we
get, but we will do our best to get back to the people who
obvoiusly need a specific response. If you're just
submitting a comment, you may not hear back from us, but we
will definitely appreciate your input.
