Pet Lost and Found
On the evening of 1/8/08, our sheltie named Prissy ranoff down Major/Lee Ave. She is wearing a purple color and is sable and white in color. She is very friendly, loves children and other dogs. We looked for her for hours yet she has not been found. We are missing her and would like you to call Shanta at 00000
Thank you very much.

P.U.P.S. (Pets Under Police Security)
Pets Under Police Security (P.U.P.S.), a joint powers organization of seven communities, is operating an animal containment facility at 11350 - 89th Avenue North in Maple Grove. Phone number 763-424-5257. The facility has a total of 4,650 square feet and consists of a small lobby with office space, kennels and a service area.

The facility will house and care for animals impounded by the member police departments, and will be under the direct control of the member communities. The member communities are Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Crystal, Maple Grove, New Hope and Plymouth.
This modern facility incorporates the latest in kennel design and techniques in the care of animals, but will not provide veterinary services. The facility is staffed with city employees who are specially trained in the care of small animals.
The member cities joined to construct this animal impound facility due to a need arising from a lack of available facilities. Costs will be prorated according to the size of the city and projected use.
The size of the facility was determined by totaling animal impounds for each of the cities from 1985 through 1989. Calculations of monthly averages of animal impounds for all cities combined were then determined. The monthly average figures combined with average length of stay per animal impounded helped to determine maximum and minimum kennel numbers needed to operate an animal impound facility of all the cities.
Administrative costs are equally split among the members. Costs include utilities, refuse, telephone, and miscellaneous supplies. Administrative costs are costs to operate the facility with or without animals.
Animal costs, directly related to the care of the animals, are to be split by actual impound use. Animal costs consist of food, water, personnel, etc.
Any revenues collected from impound fees or licensing will be set and monitored by each city. Currently, each city sets and collects their own fees from impounding of animals.

Happy Tails: Heartwarming Adoption Stories
From Lynn Riddle, Greenwood, IN.
We wanted to find a dog that would fit into our family and do well with small children. We knew we weren't ready for a puppy and were looking for an adult dog. On Petfinder we were able to search for and find a dog that was the perfect fit for our family. We adore our Lady dog--she has been a dream. She was already potty-trained and loved kids. Our kids consider her one of the most important members of our family. We love her!
Lady was adopted from Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART), Cincinnati, OH.

Petfinder Staff Picks
Many of us in the Petfinder family have every spare cat bed, dog crate, and bird cage filled with our own pets and fosters. Even so, we still wish we could save every one of the thousands of animals listed on our site. One wonderful way to make a difference for animals who touch our heart but whom we can't take home is through the Petfinder.com Foundation's Sponsor-A-Pet program. Contributing just $10 helps keep animals in participating shelters (look for the Sponsor-A-Pet icon on Pet Notes pages) fed and cared for until their new family arrives.
Before You Adopt
Choose The Right Shelter or Rescue Group
The pet adoption experience at different types of shelters can be vastly different, so take the time to visit the home page of your local groups to see which you might enjoy working with most.
- Open access shelters
- Take in all stray animals and are usually county or city shelters.
- Humane societies
- Are private facilities. Some are open access and others are limited.
- Foster groups
- Are usually volunteer foster parents who don't have a physical location.
Questions to Ask the Adoption Group:
- Is a home visit required prior to adoption?
- What is the adoption fee?
- Are pet introductions by appointment only?
