Because Moms Love Cute Wittle Animals

Happy May! You know what May means--Mother's Day! (Even if you try to forget, TV won't let you. And if you keep your TV shut, your mom won't let you forget either.) After all, even the most selfless moms want to be recognized one day a year—and now thankful husbands, kiddies and other family members can choose a gift she’ll really love. Check out the jewelry, books and other items selected especially for Mother’s Day in our Online Store. Not only will giving a gift from the ASPCA help us in our mission to save animals, but Mom will look great spreading the message in one of our ladies’ fitted tees!

He Steals Expensive Jewelry—and Hearts!

John Grogan’s adorable book, Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, is now available in paperback with new materials and photos. So why has this New York Times bestseller received almost 1,000 five-star reviews on Amazon.com? Probably because it features a very naughty but loveable canine—and we can all relate to that, right? We love this story of a young couple’s lessons in love and tolerance at the hands—er, paws—of a 97-pound Labrador retriever. You can grab your copy at our ASPCA store!

Get Your Stuff Together!

Of course you’d never forget to include your pet in your emergency planning. It’s just a matter of how. Here are some essential items to pack:

- Pet first-aid kit and guide book
- 3-7 days' worth of canned (pop-top) or dry food
- Disposable litter trays (aluminum roasting pans are perfect)
- Litter or paper toweling
- Liquid dish soap and disinfectant
- Disposable garbage bags for clean-up
- Pet dishes for food and water
- Extra harness and leash (Note: harnesses are recommended for safety and security)
- Photocopies of medical records and a waterproof container with a two-week supply of any medicine your pet requires (Remember, food and medications need to be rotated out of your emergency kit—otherwise they may go bad or become useless.)
- Bottled water—at least seven days' worth for each person and pet
- A traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each pet
- Flashlight
- Blanket (for scooping up a fearful pet)
- Recent photos of your pets (in case you are separated and need to make "Lost" posters)

We have a new product at the ASPCA online store that can be crucial to protecting your important paperwork. The Pet Grab 'N Go Bag is an element-proof storage bag that has passed rigorous testing and is virtually indestructible.

Cascading Cat Mobile

Who wouldn't want a bunch of cats hanging around? This whimsical cat mobile will brighten any room and is especially purrfect for a child's room. It is handcarved and handpainted by artists on the island of Bali, Indonesia, from non-endangered plantation wood. The three-dimentional work of art comes fully assembled and balanced. All you need to do is hang it.

This mobile should not be used over a baby's crib. The product is recommended for ages 6 and up. (But isn't it nice that older kids get to have a mobile, for once?)

Visit our online store for more details on the product.

New at the ASPCA Store: "Shelter Dogs" (We love this book!)


Over 50 shelter dog portraits!


From the book Shelter Dogs, Merrell Publishers 2006, photo credit (c) Traer Scott 2006.

While volunteering at shelters, photographer Traer Scott was asked to take photos of the dogs she was working with for records and Internet adoption sites. As her files grew, Scott realized that many of the dogs whose photos she had in her archives never made it out of the shelter alive. “I found that no matter what, I couldn’t bring myself to delete their photos, which were in some cases the only record of their existence,” she says. A few months later, Scott began to create the beautiful, honest portraits that make up Shelter Dogs.

The 96-page book features 50 dogs, their souls and spirits revealed through Scott’s images. The author included notes explaining how each dog came to the shelter and what eventually happened to him or her. As important as it is beautiful, Shelter Dogs is a must for anyone who cares about animals—and anyone who’s ever been to a shelter. Quite simply, we love this book.

SALE: Humane Education Programs - Great for Teachers!

Attitudes of respect toward animals and the environment are formed when a child is young. That is why we created I Love Animals and Yo Quiero a los Animales, two programs for youngsters in grades K-3.

Both programs feature 30 hands-on activities that you can use to promote humane attitudes and behaviors. Activities such as What Do Animals Eat? and Good or Bad? help children understand the needs of companion and other animals, and how we should treat them. All the activities are reproducible, and are accompanied by simple-to-follow lesson plans.
