Ten Rules For
Christmas Raks

gift list Of many people. The Ami,
NAL Rescue League Of Hennepir
County offers ten rules to make
giving and receiving pets at Christ
mas time a much happier expert
ence for both the animals and
people.
According to League manager,
Bert c. Tabor, THE traditional
idea of gifts beneath the Christ
mas tree just does not work out
best when animals are involved.
Following these suggestions viii
show kindness and consideration
for both the pet and the family
receiving it."
1. If you're giving a pet to a
child outside your own family,
don't suddenly spring it on an I'M
suspecting family. Be sure the
parents approve, that the child
wants and is ready for a pet, that
the household is equipped TO handle
a pet and that it's the kind Of pet
wanted. Give a book on pet care
along with the animal. The League
has pamphlets available on the
following animals: dogs, birds,
cats, fish and small animals. A
postcard request to the League
office at S45 France Av. NJ, Min
%, viii bring one to your
home.
2, If the pet Is for your own
family get a book on pets before
you shop for the animal. Be sure
to choose a pet that is suitable to
your home and be sure that you
have the kind Of pet that you are
willing to care for. The League has
an excellent booklet available that
will help you choose the right pet
for your home.
8. Children under five, as a rule,
are not ready for a live pet. Hand
ling Of pets by older children
should be supervised Children
should share In the care Of the pet.
This is an excellent way Of teach
ing responsibility.
4. Dogs make ideal pets for most
children, but puppies can't fend for
themselves. Get a dog at least six
months old, If possible.
5. When choosing a pet at a pet
shop, kennel or the Animal Rescue
League, take into consideration the
size, breed, disposition Of the ami
NAL, size Of your home or apart
ment and the age Of the children.
Pick a healthy, active animal. If
you choose female dog or cat con-
slider having her spayed
6. Don't hang the animal up In q
stocking or even pack him In a
box under the tree. The first few
days in a new home are confusing
enough without this unnecessary
handling. Bring the pet home a
few days before Christmas 30 that
he can adjust before the hectic
days. Or bring him home after
ward, when he win have undivided
z. Prepare the children for the
Of the pet. Tell them the
tail II not the leash. Reading q
good book on pet care or q visit
to a pet shop or kennel win help
the children understand what It Is
all about
8. Prepare a place ahead Of
time, where the pet win be kept.
Buy feed, feeding dishes, a bed, etc.
8. Bring the pet into the house
hold In an atmosphere Of calm.
(How you do this with children,
I'm not BIre.) Don't let the chill
dren fondle him too much the first
day. Let him adjust gradually to
his new home.
10. Teach your children how to
handle pets Teach them that
kindness and consideration are as
important as proper feed, water
and shelter.
