Rabies Challenge Fund
The
Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust was created to prove that there is
long-term immunity conveyed by rabies vaccines. The goal is to extend the
required interval for rabies boosters from 3 years to 7 years. The research project
is led by Dr. Ronald Schultz of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an
immunologist whose research, dating back to 1978, shows that we are
over-vaccinating our pets.
Premier Pet Products
Premier makes the Gentle Leader and other humane correction pet products. The Gentle Leader is a humane head-collar system that prevents dogs from pulling on the leash during walks. Please see the Premier site for pictures and information. Dr. Lisa uses the Gentle Leader system as part of her behavior consultations to give owners the control they need on a walk without the pulling and choking that often accompanies leash training.
Friends of Michigan Animal Rescue
Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue (FMAR) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 tax exempt rescue for dogs and cats that started in April 2003 with the help and support of hundreds of wonderful people. FMAR is a no-kill shelter, and provides great homes for cats and dogs until a permanent family welcomes them into their life. Please see their website for local events, adopt-a-thons, and featured pets. In 2006 and 2007, Dr. Lisa donated weekly behavior consultations to FMAR, and created a group called the Top Dog Club, a team of volunteers dedicated to walking and training the shelter dogs using Gentle Leaders. They hold monthly meetings, and their work has improved the adoptability of the shelter dogs. Dr. Lisa has written several behavior articles for the FMAR quarterly newsletter, which are also published in Pet Pals, a book by shelter co-founder Marcia LaFramboise.
