Found Dog – Needs a Good Home
My neighbor recently informed me of a dog she found just before Easter. she has already been to AC&C with no takers. She is holding onto her for now but can’t keep her as one of her dogs doesn’t like her.
I did not see her listed as a lost dog in Jupiter Farms.
I have contacted about 200 rescues and people asking/begging for a home or foster for this dog.
She is listed on Pet finder and on Facebook. Nothing.
We are calling her Rosie. She is now spayed up to date on shots and micro-chipped.
Very good with most dogs, cats and kids. Very sweet and wants lots of love.
Fast like a greyhound or whippet which we think she is mixed with. sits and comes on command.
Very nice girl that needs a home with fenced yard so she can run and play.
About 1 1/2 – 2 years old.
Thank you,
Lynda Carlson

I lost my pet! I found a stray!
The very first thing you should do before your pet disappears is to ID the animal. It can be as simple as taking a marking pen and putting a phone number on the collar. Other ID – are tags with information printed on them. Probably the best way to ID a pet is the microchip. This is a small chip about the size of a grain of rice that is inserted just under the skin. Most veterinarians have a scanner that can retrieve the information and get your pet home fast.
Here’s how the Pet Connection Program works:
1. If you find or lose a pet call one of the team members on the list. Leave a detailed message if you get a machine. They will contact the other team members.
2. Call the animal shelters and vets listed below to see if your pet is there.
3. If you have lost a pet: Put signs up at Publix, Town and Country Feed, West Jupiter Campground and on your street and main intersections at Indiantown Road. PUT A DATE ON THE SIGNS with the pertinent information. If you have found a pet just put “Found Dog (or whatever)” on sign with your phone # and DATE IT. Unfortunately some pets end up in lab research or as dogfight training bait. Make sure the person claiming the pet really owns it.
4. After notifying Pet Connection, email mailJHA@att.net and Jfr-net@att.net to advertise the lost or found via their email lists and possibly on their websites. Include a full description, photograph if available and the appropriate contact numbers. Remember, just as in the posted signs, notices of found pets should not include a description.
This needs to be done as quickly as possible for the best results in getting a lost or found pet home.

Common health problems in cats by Lorraine Kassarjian, DVM, CVA
This month I thought we would discuss a few common health problems in cats so that you will be able to recognize the symptoms in your cats and help you get your cats to your veterinarian in a timely manner.
Now what do I do??
The Jupiter Farms Pet Connection is a free community service that reunites lost and found pets with their owners. This wonderful idea was founded by the late Georgia Ettari years ago, and we now have a team of residents that will carry on in her memory.
Treatment: There is no treatment for this disease. All your veterinarian can do is treat the symptoms as they come up.
Other info: Since this disease is passed by saliva, and cats lick each other, it is imperative that you separate your cats from other cats. This means keep them indoors! There is a vaccine that will prevent this disease.
Diabetes
Symptoms: This disease is most commonly seen in adult, overweight cats. Admit it; just about all of you have a fat cat! Your cat will have an increased thirst and therefore increased urination. Your cat may be weak, depressed or vomiting.
Diagnosis: The glucose in your cat blood and urine can be tested by your veterinarian. If increased, the animal should stay at the veterinarian’s office for at least a day. The blood glucose levels will be monitored throughout the day to check when it increases and how well it responds to insulin.
Treatment: Most important thing to do is put your cat on a high protein diet and have her lose weight! You will need to learn how to give insulin shots at home.
Hyperthyroidism
Symptoms: Usually your cat eats more than normal, but continues to lose weight. Often, thirst will also be increased. Your cat will seek heat by lying in the sun constantly or even lying in front of the refrigerator where the hot air blows.
Diagnosis: Your veterinarian will need a few drops of blood to send to the lab.
Treatment: The most common treatment is to give a pill once or twice a day for the rest of the cat’s life. The blood will need to be checked regularly.
This is a very short list of problems your cat may have, but hopefully it may help you to identify problems ahead of time. If your cat is sick for any reason, or even acting differently, give your veterinarian a call. A timely call could save your cat’s life. Next month we will talk about common health problems in dogs.
