A river runs through Corning Animal Shelter

On Friday, January 29, 2010, our local newspaper, the Corning Observer, published an interesting, in-depth article about the flooding that occurs here at the shelter.

McConnell Foundation gives grant to SCPR

 

McConnell Foundation Grant - Storage Shed The McConnell Foundation granted Second Chance Pet Rescue $4500 for a storage/office building as part of it's commitment to help local organizations.

"Even though we use all the space in the shelter to our best ability, it is not ideal when trying to talk to people adopting a dog in the dog food prep area, only water source for water buckets and the only door to the outside area." says Debbie Eaglebarger, founder of Second Chance Pet Rescue and resident shelter care taker of the Corning Animal Shelter.

Big Mess After Flood

 

THE FLOODING NOW - BIG MESS!!

The water has receded for now, thank goodness!!  What a mess was left though.  The debris piled up against the fence, washed dirt away from the bottom of the fence making the play yard un-usable until the holes can be fixed.  And yucky mud in all the dog houses and pens.  All in all, we were lucky not to have lost any fencing that is on the cement where most of the dogs are housed in better times.  The pens in the play yard got the worst of it and maybe can be fixed.  Maybe, maybe not.

First Flood of 2010

 

From Getting Ready For The Big Storms to The Big Storms Are Here!!

Today, Wednesday, January 20, 2010, we had our first flood.  And it came with a bang!  After working the morning, I left at 11:30 a.m. and took pictures of the creek, which was just coming over the banks.  40 minutes later, Debbie called me and said we were flooded!  The following pictures were before some nasty downpours that occurred later in the afternoon. The City of Corning was great in coming out with sand bags for the shelter doors and helping wherever they could.

Exercise: Challenge your dog physically

 

At the shelter, we interact with the dogs every day.  Most days some, if not all, of the dogs get to go out for a walk with one of the volunteers.  It gives the dog a break from the shelter life, even for 15 minutes, and helps balance the dog and sometimes even the volunteer.  You can't be in 'a mood' when you have a happy dog at the end of the leash!  We use different trainers' techniques when working with the dogs on various things.  For dog walking, we use Cesar Millan's way for leash walking.  Cesar's Way makes sense for the shelter dogs and we have had the most success using his tips. 

Below is an article from the Dog Whisperer's website www.cesarsway.com that we thought was informative and helpful.
