All pets in need will receive a low-cost spay/neuter program from the City of Pittsburgh for the month of November. This service is sponsored by Animal Friends and Humane Animal Rescue.

To apply, the pet owner must fill out a request form, mail it to Pet Friendly Services, and wait up to two weeks for the voucher to be mailed to them.

How to train a dog as a pet
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It may protect its owner from predators and animals.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform tricks.
The average time for training is between six months to two years. The owner teaches the dog basic obedience skills such as how to sit, lay down, stay, come on command, roll over, and walk on command. The owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's natural instincts.
The owner should also teach the dog to behave appropriately in unfamiliar situations and not bite other animals.
