Rescue Dogs Need Recreation in Addition to Rehabilitation Says Ami Moore

Chicago, IL, October 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Pet Rescue, Inc., issued a cry for help – and Chicago-area dog behaviorist Ami Moore answered. A former occupational therapist provider who specialized in a pediatric population with developmental and learning disabilities, Ami Moore the Chicago Dog Coach employs the rehabilitation techniques she once used on children to tame problem dogs. And so, when Pet Rescue asked for donations for its Pet Rescue Sanctuary for Orphaned Pets and Wildlife, located in Bloomingdale, Ill., Moore knew just what to offer.

“I donated toys and materials to increase the emotional and mental stimulation of the dogs that are at residence at the shelter,” Ami Moore, the Chicago Dog Whisperer said.

Toys such as balls, soft toys, ropes, and bones are “stimulating and interesting” to dogs, Moore explained. Ami Moore, Chicago’s professional dog behavior expert, also gave the sanctuary the gift of her time, providing intervention and advice regarding the housing and handling of aggressive dogs that are lodged there. In Ami Moore’s professional opinion, there aren’t any bad dogs just dogs that are raised badly.

The Pet Rescue Sanctuary, opened since 1973, is one of the largest no-kill, non-profit, minimum cage facilities for orphaned animals. Animals there live in a loving and protected environment until they are adopted. Injured or sick animals are given the best care available from some of the area’s finest veterinarian medical teams. Individuals interested in adopting an animal from the sanctuary are screened carefully to ensure that the orphan will have the best chance of entering a loving, responsible, permanent home.

The organization also prides itself in helping pet owners who have fallen upon hard times – due to illness or disaster – and who can no longer care for their pets on their own. Pet Rescue, Inc., is known throughout the country, and has become a model for the establishment of many newly-formed rescue groups. Ami Moore the Chicago Dog Whisperer said she was glad to help the organization because it shares her values concerning the physical, mental and emotional rehabilitation of animals.
