Rufio Survives and Thrives
Rufio is a 6-year-old Rottweiler mix. He came to us in September of last year from another facility where he had run out of time and luck. Hoping for a home and family of his own, Rufio was disappointed to find himself again in a shelter for homeless pets.
However, unbeknownst to Rufio, his first day at Roice-Hurst would prove to be the luckiest day of his life.
As part of our routine intake medical examination, Rufio was given a test for heartworms. Unfortunately the test proved positive.
However, it was a small miracle that Rufio was brought to Roice-Hurst and that the test was done in time. Another few months without treatment and he would have likely died.
Rufio was immediately started on a regime of treatment to rid himself of these deadly parasites.
The risk of clot formation in the heart, lungs, and arteries is high during heartworm treatment and is the main reason why dogs MUST be be severely restricted in exercise and other activities for at least four weeks after each phase of treatment; this means no running, playing, excitement, getting overheated, etc.
Rufio was placed in a crate and kept in isolation during his first month of treatment. He was kept in isolation to keep him calm and quiet and was only allowed out for short, slow walks for potty breaks.
And then another small miracle happened and
one of our kind hearted volunteers offered to
foster Rufio in her home for the 2nd stage of his
treatment.
With the loving care of our staff and his foster
mom, Rufio is now done with the hard part. He is
back at the shelter and back to his friendly, loving,
and happy self and able to run and play again.
Rufio is hoping for only one more small miracle; a loving, permanent home and family of his very own. Is your heart big enough for one small miracle for Rufio?
Facts You Should Know About Heartworms
Heartworms. A real and present danger.
Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states, which means all dogs are at risk for heartworms no matter where they live. Over 250,000 dogs in the U.S. were reported positive for heartworms in 2004. In northern Colorado, the American Heartworm Society reports one to five cases per clinic.
Unfortunately, some pet owners
do not feel that heartworm
disease is common enough in
to protect against, which
perpetuates the spread of
parasites and puts even more
dogs at risk.
Because heartworm disease
prevention is safe, easy and
inexpensive, the American
Heartworm Society
recommends that pet owners
“take steps now to talk to their
veterinarian about how to best protect their pets from this dangerous disease.”
Treatment for heartworm disease in dogs is possible; however, it is a complicated and expensive process that requires weeks of recovery for the dog.
Heartworm treatment is complicated and difficult to endure because it
requires that all of the worms be killed without causing damage to the dog’s heart and lungs.
Dogs do not “catch” heartworms from other dogs.
People cannot get heartworms directly
from their dog. Dogs get heartworms from
infected mosquito bites.
It can take up to 6 months for the infective larvae to
mature into adult worms. A dog bitten last August
or September may just start showing symptoms
of adult heart worms in January or February.
A heartworm test is always necessary before giving your dog a heartworm preventative medication. Giving a heartworm preventative to a dog who has already been infected could prove fatal.
The American Heartworm Society provides up-to-date information on this subject. Go to http://www.heartwormsociety.org

Why Do Pets End Up in Shelters?
Every day in communities across the US a bond is broken. It’s the bond between people and their pets, resulting in millions of pets being surrendered to shelters each year.
We know the background of many of the
pets, like Orian, brought to our own shelter
by their owners.

Orian
Unfortunately, we don't know most of our pets' stories, like Thax, an 11-year-old
stray cat who has been with us for over 8 months now.
Thax is such a sweet boy who so deserves a loving friend and home in which to spend his golden years.
Over the past 45 years, Roice-Hust has taken in thousands of homeless cats and dogs. Some from owners who are surrendering their pets because of landlord issues, lack of money for food and vet care, personal problems, and behavior issues that they simply don't know how to address.
In fact, one of the most often quoted reasons given is behavioral issues, usually caused by a lack of knowledge or training on the part of the owner.ne of the most often quoted reasons given is behavioral issues, usually caused by a lack of knowledge or training on the part of the owner.
Thax
At Roice-Hurst we have been successful at correcting the behavior issues of many of the pets brought to us. Our goal is to help keep pets in their homes by providing support and education, as well as low cost training to those considering surrendering their pets for behavioral issues.
We place a high priority on accepting animals from other facilities, (some as far away as Arizona or California) who are in immediate danger of euthanization because of a lack of space or other shelter resources. These endangered pets are brought to us to get the training and socialization skills they need to be successfully adopted into loving, permanent homes.
Saving Lives, and Finding Our Pets Forever Homes;
That's What We're All About.
Bringing a dog or cat into your family causes great joy all around. But, making a commitment to a pet is much like making a commitment to a human being:
Both relationships require daily care and nurturing in order to flourish. So, as you embark (no pun intended!) on this new commitment, here are some important promises to consider making to your pet:
Promises To My Pet
I promise to have realistic expectations of the role my pet will play in my life.
I will remember that she is a dog or cat, not a furry little human; she cannot satisfy all my emotional needs.
I promise to protect my pet from dangers, such as traffic and other creatures who might want to hurt her.
I promise to keep her well dressed with a collar containing an up-to-date I.D.
I promise to learn kind and gentle training methods so that she can understand what I am trying to say.
I promise to be consistent with my training, since dogs and cats feel secure when daily life is predictable, with fair rules and structure.
I promise to match her loyalty and patience with my own.
I promise that my pet will be part of my family. I will make a commitment to
schedule time every day to interact with her so that she will feel loved and will not develop behavior problems from a lack of stimulation and socialization.
I promise to seek professional help if my pet develops behavior problems that become unmanageable.
I promise that my dog will have opportunities to exercise and honor some of her instincts. She*ll have walks and runs outside of her daily territory, so she can sniff and explore.
I promise that I will keep my cat indoors, away
from the dangers of cars and predators, with
outside time only under my direct supervision.
I promise to provide veterinary care for my pet for
her entire life. I will keep her healthy and watch her weight.
I promise that if I move, marry, have a baby, or get divorced, she will continue to share my life, since she is a beloved family member.
I promise that if I absolutely must give her up, I will find an appropriate home for her that is as good as or better than my home.
