Home boarding is as straightforward as it sounds. Dogs and cats, instead of being placed in cages at a boarding facility are temporarily relocated to a pet sitter's home. The dogs are placed in a loving, family environment which is best suited to maintaining the pet's regular routine. Dogs are walked, played with and fed according to the specifications of the owner. 
Jurisdictions that have introduced compulsory microchipping (such as New South Wales and Victoria in Australia) have found that there’s been a dramatic drop in the number of untraceable stray dogs, with 
consequent huge financial savings for local authorities and animal charities.
In the New World of compulsory microchipping, this would happen every time a dog was found out on its own, and the local constabulary would give the careless owner something a little more formal and unpleasant than a sharp word from the local vet.
It's said again and again, but it’s so true: this problem is the fault of the humans, not the dogs. How do you make the humans responsible? Forge an unbreakable link between owner and dog with a microchip. If this government is serious about wanting to solve this problem, they should listen to those who work with dogs on a daily basis. Legislation to enforce compulsory microchipping and registration of all dogs should be introduced without delay.
Fire Department will have the means to revive pets that are suffering from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Losing a pet in a fire can add to the trauma of a family already having to deal with the fallout of the damage caused by a fire. While rescue personnel have oxygen masks meant for humans, these masks do not work well on animals because they do not fit well on their faces.
The cone-shaped masks, which are available in three sizes, can be fitted snugly on the animal's snouts, and have been found to be very effective in resuscitating pets suffering from inhaling smoke. Because of the various sizes they come in they can be used on different types and sizes of pet animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even birds. These special oxygen masks are equipped with a rubber ring, which creates an effective seal, thus allowing pure oxygen to be pumped into the noses of the animal. The masks are simple to use as they only need to be placed over the snout of the animal, then hooked to an oxygen tank which forces oxygen into the animal. As long as the animal is breathing, these masks can be very effective.
When traveling by car, pack a simple pet first-aid kit that includes assorted bandages, antiseptic cream, an antidiarrheal medication that is safe for pets (ask your veterinarian to suggest a product), gauze squares, and the phone numbers of your veterinarian, a national poison control hotline, and a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital.
In addition to a standard identification tag (which should be labeled with your name, home address, and phone number), your pet's collar should include a travel tag with information on where you are staying while away from home. Should your pet become lost, this will allow you to be contacted locally.
Perform a daily "health check" on your pet when away from home. In unfamiliar surroundings, your pet's appetite, energy, and disposition may change. Watch for unusual discharges from the nose and eyes, excessive scratching or biting of any body part, abnormal elimination, or excessive water consumption. Visit a local veterinarian if you are concerned about any physical or behavioral changes.

LIMA, Peru — Completely bald and older than the Incas, the Peruvian hairless dog seems like an odd fit for the White House.
The Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association responded on Monday, sending a letter to the U.S. Embassy in Peru offering the Obama family a 4-month-old pup that responds to “Machu Picchu,” the name of Peru’s famed Inca citadel.
They were kept as pets during the Inca empire and depictions of the breed appear in 1,200-year-old, pre-Inca artwork.
The hairless dog was long scorned for its appearance before it was recognized internationally as the official Peruvian dog.
