Q: Check with local animal shelters and rescue centers to see if they need help with the organization of a fundraiser. If you cannot be there in person, offer your help by sharing information with friends and family about the event. Animal shelters and rescues provide services for many pets, some of which have faced abusive pasts. Volunteering will go a long way toward helping these institutions sustain their work. There are also organizations dedicated to rehabilitating abused farm animals that welcome the help of volunteers. Get in touch with a shelter or sanctuary to see where they need help and how you might be most impactful. If you are unable to donate your time, spread the word to others or make a monetary donation. Pets at animal shelters were often abandoned or unwanted, and have potentially faced abuse. Adopting one of these pets will help give them a loving family and become a great addition to the family. Many shelters often have euthanasia policies due to receiving abandoned and unwanted pets at a high volume. Not only is adopting a pet giving it a happy and loving home, but it is also saving a life. If you are unable or not yet ready to adopt a pet, consider fostering animals. Many shelters and rescues are in need of foster parents willing to provide a temporary home to unwanted or abandoned animals. Being a foster parent to an animal provides the animal with more time to find a permanent home. Every adoption agency or animal shelter has different requirements for potential fosters. Get in touch with a local adoption agency or shelter to discuss the application process and requirements for being a foster parent. Most agencies and shelters will have a foster care coordinator work with you throughout the process to help you determine which type of pet (puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, etc.) might be best for you. Most adoption agencies and animal shelters will have extensive histories available about the pet you are considering adopting or fostering. Ask the shelter or agency questions about the animal's temperament, whether it has been fostered before, and what kinds of abuse it has suffered. The more information you have about your pet the better home you will be able to make for them. If your pet has been fostered before, reach out to the previous foster parents to find out about the animal's comfort zone and what actions, behaviors, or environments should be avoided. Many agencies and shelters also offer rehabilitation for abused animals. Reach out to your shelter or agency to see if your pet has been enrolled in rehabilitation or if there is a program you can enroll in together.
A: Participate in or start a fundraiser. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or find a nearby animal sanctuary. Adopt a shelter pet. Foster abandoned animals. Prepare yourself for the special needs abused pets might have.

Q: These can range widely from a dog in mild discomfort that appears quieter than usual, to the dog with an explosive disc protrusion that suddenly goes off its back legs and is paralyzed. Some subtle signs of back pain that can clue you in that there is a potential problem include: Reluctance to move: The pain associated with back problems means the dog is unwilling to move and may stand in one spot, head lowered. He may yelp or cry out when you try to put his collar on. Some dogs refuse to eat or drink because lowering their head to the bowl is painful. Arched back: Many dogs with back pain adopt a hunched back stance, and stand stiffly, guarding their movements. Altered behavior: The dog may be reluctant to jump up onto a favorite sofa, or not be able to go upstairs to bed. Back pain is immensely painful and many dogs will vocalize, cry out, and whimper in response to the pain. They may even cry out just in anticipation of the pain when they are asked to move. Your dog is not just being dramatic when it yelps in pain. If pressure to the spinal cord is severe enough, it can cause nerve damage. This most commonly affects the back legs. The dog may not be able to stand, and when it tries to move it "wheelbarrows" forward, its front paws pulling its back end along. A dog with sudden paralysis needs to be seen by a veterinarian in order for the spinal damage to be assessed and treated. Severe paralysis can interfere with bladder and bowel function, and the dog may either become incontinent or it may be unable to empty its bladder. Your veterinarian should give you guidance about how to deal with this problem. If your dachshund shows sign of back pain, then you should restrict its movements so that it is forced to rest. Do not allow it to move around the house, instead restrict it to a puppy crate while you make an appointment with the vet. When you take the dog to the vet, carry it to the car and carry it into the vet's office, as moving awkwardly could cause a grumbling disc to rupture.
A: Keep an eye out for subtle symptoms of back pain. Take your dog's response to pain seriously. Take a dog with sudden paralysis to the vet immediately. Force your dog to stop moving.

Q: Your towel should be on your chest. Hold her against your chest with her feet towards your body. You can use blueberries, lettuce, or carrots, for instance. If you feed her a treat while you hold her, she'll come to associate your cuddles with good things. Use a soothing voice to talk to your guinea pig while you're holding her. It doesn't matter what you say, as long as you use a soothing voice. For instance, you can go into the bathroom with your guinea pig. Make sure there is nothing she can get into that she shouldn't (such as cleaning supplies). Also, make sure you cover any potential dangers, such as floor vents. Close the door. Place her on the floor, and let her run around. She'll enjoy exploring, and she'll also take some time getting to know you, too. If you want, sit on the floor with her. If you put her down every time she struggles, she learns that all she has to do is wiggle to get back in her cage. If you continue to hold her, she'll learn to stay calm. As your guinea pig sees the cage, she may want to jump, so keep a firm hold on her with both hands when placing her back in the cage. Wait to release her from your hand until she stops struggling. That way, she learns that she shouldn't squirm while you're holding her. Get your guinea pig out of her cage every day. That way, she'll slowly grow used to your attention over time and will eventually enjoy the cuddle time.
A:
Place the guinea pig against your chest. Feed her a treat. Talk to your guinea pig. Let her explore in a closed-off room. Do not put her down when she wiggles. Hold her firmly when returning her. Be consistent.
