[Highland Park] lost dog roaming neighborhood
by Pamela Buongiorno 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

There's a white poodle roaming through HP. It's groomed, maybe 15-20 lbs., with a very trim build. It appears to have tags, although it won't let anyone get close enough to catch it. It was at Heberton and Jackson at 6pm. At 9pm, it was at Highland and Stanton, running for its life. It doesn't appears to be a stray, especially because it keeps crossing Highland Av without any apparent street smarts. It looks cold and wet and very tired. If you know who this dog could belong to, would you check with them and see if it could be theirs? -- Pamela

[Highland Park] Animal Friends adoption special - $20.10 adoptions!
by Meg Reilly 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Just to let people know, Animal Friends is having an adoption special where you can adopt a dog, cat, or rabbit for only $20.10 from March 27-April 3. Adoption includes spay/neuter, shots, testing and microchip. If you're considering expanding your family with a pet, now would be a great time to take a trip to Animal Friends. Here is the link: http://www.thinkingoutsidethecage.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Animals I am also currently fostering an Animal Friends kitten, a six month old black beauty. He is a bit shy, but my cats and I have worked with him and he's come a long way. He likes to play with the cat teaser and enjoys being petted on his terms. I think with some time and patience he'd come along in a home. He really likes other cats, so a feline sibling would be preferable. As usual, the adoption would be subject to AF application and fees (which are a bargain this week!). Let me know if you're interested and I can tell you more about him. Thanks! Meg

[Highland Park] Health Services Directory for Uninsured/Underinsured
by Meg Reilly 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

This may be useful for people finding themselves without insurance. Thursday, March 25, 2010 HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTORY UPDATED FOR UNINSURED & UNDERINSURED Guide to Remain Valuable Tool Until Health Care Reform Fully Goes Into Effect The Allegheny County Health Department has updated its directory of local health centers and clinics that serve people with minimal or no health insurance. “Until the new health care reform law fully goes into effect and expands access to health care, our guide will remain a valuable resource for the uninsured and underinsured,” said County Health Director Dr. Bruce W. Dixon. The directory has been expanded to include additional resources such as help for compulsive gamblers, Neighborhood Legal Services, the Latino Family Center, the Library for the Blind and Handicapped, and Health Care for the Homeless. First published in 2007, the directory is intended primarily for social service agencies and other community organizations dealing with the uninsured, but individuals also may find it useful as a handy guide to health care providers. Most of the providers listed in the directory use a sliding fee schedule based on household income and family size for patients with no insurance. The fees may be as little as $25 or less and possibly even waived in cases of extreme financial hardship. The 34-page guide lists more than 40 local clinics and health centers as well as resources available to help with other needs, including prescription drugs, vision care, dental care and transportation. It also features a listing of health insurance options for the unemployed and low-income families. The directory is available on the Allegheny County Health Department web site, under Timely Topics, at www.achd.net, or by calling 412-687-ACHD.

[Highland Park] Missing Orange Tabby Cat
by Megan Mally 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi, Our cat (Ira) has been missing since yesterday. He doesn't typically wander too far off of our property or not come home, especially at night. He's an outdoor cat but does not have a collar. He's orange, pretty long, tall and slender with a white stomach and white 'boots'. I attached a couple pics. We live on Jackson between the park and Heberton and our backyard buts up to Wellesely so he may have wandered up through there. Please let me know if you've spotted him. Thanks, Megan Mally megan(a)antsville.com 412.721.7733
