Talbot Humane Welcomes New Board Member Joe Petro

Joe Petro  owner of Hair O’ The Dog Wine and Spirits has been a resident of the Eastern Shore since 1989.  As a CPA, Joe was the Controller for Easton Utilities prior to holding CFO positions with Tri-Gas & Oil, Pintail Point, and Masten Lumber.  He was the Controller for Celeste Industries from 2001 until he opened Hair O’ The Dog in 2004.  Joe previously served as President of the Eastern Shore Chapter of MACPA’s and was treasurer for the non-profit organization Kidworks.

Joe enjoys life and the many challenges and rewards of being an Easton business owner. He has a love of his community and feels fortunate to be able to be a part of it in both a social and business venue.

Joe received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from the University of Baltimore in 1985. He is married to Vicki Petro, Director of Human Resources, at Easton Utilities. Together they have four children and Max their lovable Shih Poo.  Joe is an avid Baltimore Orioles and Ravens fan and enjoys trying new food, great wine, and travel. His favorite pass time, however, is spending time with his family and, his beloved dog, Max.

“We are so happy to have Joe on our team at Talbot Humane” states Executive Director Patty Crankshaw-Quimby.  “He has been a big supporter of our organization for years, always stepping up to help raise funds and awareness to the plight of the animals of our community.”

 

 

Thank you for another successful Bark in the Park!

 What a fabulous day we had for the animals- all thanks to you!  The support of our community is the reason our open admission shelter is able to continue our work of placing every treatable and adoptable pet into new forever homes.  Because of your generosity and participation in this year’s Bark in the Park Festival, over $41,000 was raised for the animals!

Boosting our family reunions

If you have ever had a pet go missing, you know the stress and fear it brings. Even if you find your pet within minutes, the panic one feels is something you will not soon forget. In fiscal year 2012, Talbot Humane had 721 stray dogs and cats enter our facility. Sadly, only 96 dogs and 20 cats were reclaimed by their owners. The main reason? No one called looking for them! Our goal for this fiscal year is to double the number of family reunions, and decrease the number of stray animals entering our shelter. To help, Talbot Humane will be offering free ID tags as well as $15 microchip services starting now, through the end of August 2012. All you have to do is call to make an appointment.

Here is a small bit of helpful information to keep your pet safe:

  • Have proper identification on your pet- please have tags on your pets’ collars. For those with Houdini dogs (like me!) that can get tags off of their collars, writing your phone number in permanent marker on the inside of the collar is a quick and easy identifier.
  • Microchip all pets, even indoor cats. By doing so, you are providing a permanent identifier, even if the collar and tags go missing.
  • As soon as you notice your pet is missing call your local humane society and police department. At Talbot Humane we have a missing/found log at the front desk. Often animals of those who call immediately are reunited without ever having to enter our facility.
  • Utilize social media such as Facebook and Twitter as soon as possible. Talbot county residents click www.PetHarbor.com. This website uploads the stray animal inventory directly from the Talbot Humane database so the public can check and see if their pet has entered our facility. It does not work for every agency, but, if your pet comes into Talbot Humane as a stray, it will be on the site within 24 hours. The animals remain on this site for 7 days,the window which the county legally gives owners to reclaim their lost pets.
  • If you see a pet roaming the streets, call your local animal control agency. They may have already received a call from the owner, and a reunion could be moments away!

Nobody expects to have their pet go missing, and we hope you never do. By being prepared for the worst, you will increase the chance for a happy family reunion.

For the animals,

Patty
