Rabies Shots for Dogs (RE: newletter, dog bite, house for sale, house sitter)

[Ivana Olson]

I would like to point out that the Humane Society currently offers Rabies 
vaccines for $8 at their weekly vaccination clinics which are held every 
Friday from 8 AM to 12 PM and 1-4:30 PM. No appointments necessary and 
you're dog (or cat) doesn't even have to step foot in the disease filled 
county shelter.

The county shelter raised their fees recently in an effort to gain enough 
money to build a new facility.. this will be the 3rd fully functional 
shelter and 4th facility for the county. As much as I applaud their efforts 
for cleaning up, I think paying $23 for a rabies shot is a little extreme.

Several Items:

It is with deep regret that our newsletter has suffered some serious set 
backs,  one being that I recently purchased property in Rocky Point Mexico 
and have been spending most of my time making the Mexico project come to 
fruition and I will be staying in Rocky Point part of the time getting that 
house built.  We may try to make it work for August, but my priorities have 
somewhat shifted and the beach house took first.  If we decide to ax the 
newsletter altogether, I will forward all the wonderful information and 
articles and photos to the new administration.

Also, we lost a couple major articles due to duplication and I did not have 
the time, with the recent property acquisition, to replace their space.

Due to this property purchase, I am considering selling my house on 13th st. 
and Oak.   I would rather downsize my home and have the beach home. Instead 
of financially struggling to have both.  My home recently appraised for 
817,000.  It will officially be going on the MLS in about 4 weeks.  I will 
sell it, now,  as is, for 739,000 with a 10,000 thank you fee if anyone has 
any referrals.  It will be showed by appointment only.

And lastly, I had a repair person here the other day.  My dogs went out to 
greet him as they do anyone that comes to the door.  The guy had a panic 
attack and fought back (on something imaginary) as if he was being attacked 
by killer bees.  He kicked my dogs and one of my dogs "supposedly" bit him. 
Animal Control came out and then  I filed a false bite report with animal 
control and filed a complaint on his behavior with quest but regardless, 
Animal Control stated that with any bite complaint, valid or not, they have 
to quarantine.  Because my dog had his rabies vaccine, I was allowed to 
quarantine him "at my house" but had he not had the vaccine, he would have 
been quarantined at Animal Control and that would have cost upwards of $500 
to do that, plus the trauma to my 11 year old dog .   The lesson I learned 
is that I never vaccinated  my dogs before for rabies because their hasn't 
been a Rabies problem in Maricopa county for 30 years..  But abiding by the 
law and getting him his rabies vaccine turned out to be a wonderful 
insurance policy.  Animal Control does rabies shots for $23.  Much cheaper 
than most vets.  I also found out that if your dog is licensed,  they get a 
free ride home and do not have to go through the kennel process if they are 
lost and then picked up by Animal Control which also reduces their trauma 
and their accessibility to other dogs' diseases in the kennel.

Thanks all...If any one has any questions, please call me direct at 
602-550-4157.  Also, pictures of the house can be seen at

p.s.  Any referrals for a dog loving house sitter?.  Will pay for someone to 
stay here, play with my dogs (and feed them), and eat bon bons while 
relaxing by the pool for a week towards the end of July
