She's available for adoption. Call 312-63»-2881 (PHOTOCOM PHOTO) HELPING PAWS Bv Estelle Atwell There can be circumstances when you must sell or offer a pet for adoption. When this happens owners who do this strictly on their own, may allow a pet to go to a stranger without checking on his or her suitability. The horrible thing about doing this is that un­ fortunately there are people who will take the animal directly to an experimental laboratory and receive a price for it. While you won't know this you should be aware that it can happen. And Helping Paws offers some cautionary advice, It is better to entrust the adoption of your pet to an organization equipped to safeguard the animal. A con­ tract agreed to and signed at the time of adoption guarantees authorized personnel of the organization the right and privilege to follow up an adoption with visits to check out the animal's care. This is the way Helping Paws proceeds. Their office is open from 10 to noon, and 1 to 3, Monday through Friday. The phone number is 459-2641. Under laws of the State of Illinois every person who owns an animal must do the following: 1. Provide kind treatment at all times. Fines up to $500, and in some cases jail sentences, are levied against persons found guilty of cruelty to animals. 2. Furnish food, drinking water, and shelter sufficient for comfort and health protection. 3. Deliver animals into responsible hands when they are no longer wanted. There is a stiff penalty for abandoning any animal on a highway or in any place where it may suffer or become a public charge. 4. Keep and transport animals in a way that prevents cramping or unreasonable restriction of movement. For example, if a pet must be chained for longer that a few minutes, the chain must be of sufficient length to permit reasonable freedom of movement. Your nearest humane society will gladly give you specific advice on this point. // 5. Obtain rabies vaccination for dogs, and checlc local laws as to any requirement for rabies vaccination of cats.
