1. Make Me a Match: Prevalence and Outcomes Associated with Matching Programs in Dog Adoptions

Author:

euthanasia,   etc   ; dogs; pets;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Animal shelters and rescues are typically judged on their live release rates. The number of companion animals adopted and then returned to the shelter is not as frequently considered. Matching programs are implemented to reduce the chances that a companion animal will be returned after adoption by assuring the best possible “match” between adopter needs, wants, and lifestyles, and the behaviors an ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of 2 captive bolt devices in the euthanasia of market age Pekin ducks. One hundred twenty ducks were euthanized using either a commercially available captive bolt device (Zephyr-EXL, n = 60) or an Experimental Crossbow captive bolt device (n = 60). Ducks were euthanized and observed for pupillary light reflex, nictitating membrane reflex, c ...

Abstract:
... The number of cats and dogs impounded and euthanized at animal shelters in the USA has declined dramatically in recent decades. The Humane Society of the United States reported that in 1973 an estimated 13.5 million cats and dogs were euthanized nationwide; according to Best Friends Animal Society, in 2018 that number had been reduced to approximately 733,000. A disproportionate number of animals ...

Abstract:
... By some accounts, ducks were domesticated between 400 and 10,000 yr ago and have been a growing portion of the poultry industry for decades. Ducks specifically, and waterfowl in general, have unique health, housing, nutrition and welfare concerns compared to their galliform counterparts. Although there have been many research publications in regards to health, nutrition, behavior, and welfare of d ...

Abstract:
... The neural system underlying maternal caregiving has often been studied using laboratory rodents and a few other mammalian species. This research shows that the medial preoptic area (mPOA) integrates sensory cues from the young that, along with hormonal and other environmental signals, control maternal acceptance of neonates. The mPOA then activates the mesolimbic system to drive maternal motivati ...
