These 13 adoptable pets are looking for love: May 2-3 - SILive.com

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Thank you to everyone who has fostered or adopted a pet in these trying times. Local rescue agencies have reported receiving multiple applications for pets, but there are always more animals coming in.

Keep in mind that older pets are looking for homes, too. The best part: They are trained and will give you a full night’s sleep from the get-go.

Please see the individual photos for specific information, as well as the following announcement from Louie’s Legacy:

"If you’re looking for a new furry family member, visit our website, www.louieslegacy.org/wp/pets/nyc, to view our adoptable pets! While our adoption events are canceled, we will continue to have an individual meet-and-greet for potential adopters. If you are ready to adopt, please fill out an adoption application online so it can be reviewed during the week.

"The health and safety of Louie’s Legacy’s volunteers, staff, adopters, and the community at large is of paramount importance to us. In an effort to do our part to limit any potential exposure to or transmission of illness, Louie’s Legacy will be canceling our regularly scheduled public adoption events until further notice. We will reevaluate according to the recommendations of the CDC and federal, state, and local governments and resume regularly scheduled public events at a time when it is deemed safe.

“Louie’s Legacy will continue conducting pet adoptions, and foster homes will continue to be needed weekly! We are fully operational remotely, and our commitment to animal welfare remains the same. Adoptions will be conducted under modified circumstances during this time, so please continue to apply to foster and adopt pets, as the need for animal rescue is always present.”

SHARING SPACE WITH YOUR CAT

If you currently share a space with your cat, it’s most likely a change for them as well. While they might miss you when you’re gone, they are used to having a quiet home without interruption all day. Here are some tips for coexisting with your cat, courtesy of Rover.com.

  • Tire your cat out early. Engage in some preventative measures by setting up exercise and activities for your cat before you need to work. A few minutes of playtime with a feather wand, followed by some treats in a food puzzle are a great way to get your kitty to settle down for a nap. A tired cat is a happy cat who is hopefully not climbing all over you while you work.
  • Take breaks for snuggles. We all need to take work breaks to stretch and clear our minds. That’s a great time to give your cat some pets or more playtime.
  • Provide distractions during important calls. Automated toys, food puzzles, a cardboard box with some tissue paper and treats inside to explore can all give your cat something to do. Even something as simple as moving a chair or cat condo to a new window can capture your cat’s interest for a few important minutes!
  • Give your cat a better place to hang out than your keyboard. For example, put a heated bed on a chair near your desk (or even on your desk if you have the room) to give your cat a highly desirable place to lay instead of on you. A cleared off shelf with a cat blanket on it can give your cat a “perch of judgment” from which they can watch you work!
  • Don’t reward the behavior you don’t want to continue. If your cat meows at you and you talk back, pet them or even yell at them -- that may be the response they are looking for. Reward good behaviors (being calm, quiet) with treats or praise.
  • Close the door, but be ready for a protest. Keep in mind all of the previously mentioned suggestions. If your cat is scratching at the door, you should ignore them, and if necessary, you can place a mild deterrent, such as a piece of cardboard with sticky tape, right outside the door. This will make it unpleasant for your cat to “protest” by the door.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DOG ACTIVE INDOORS

Training is a great way to keep your pet active and tire them out while you are at home together. It doesn’t take long to make a difference.

  • Play some scent games. Start by hiding a treat right in front of your dog and asking him to find it. Slowly add distance between you and your dog while you hide the treat, so your pup will be searching the house for where you hid it, using lots of mental and physical stimulation.
  • Play a game of hide and seek. Put your dog’s good stay to use! This is a great one to do with kids in the home, too.
  • Make the most out of your walks together. Even a short walk can be useful working on heeling, stop and sits, eye contact and more. This will tire your dog out more than just pulling you around the block.
  • Set up an indoor agility course. Use household items to make them tunnel under chair legs or jump over mops and buckets.
  • Mix playtime together with training. A 10-minute play session followed by 5 minutes of focused training can go a long way.
  • Come up with a dance routine together. If you have kids, get the whole family involved, from picking a song to teaching some new dance moves — spin and high 5 are always good ones.
