It's time to let out a big roar! Jurassic Park and the prehistoric age has officially gone to the dogs. Or should we say "Jurassic Bark?" The once extinct beast has come back to life. Your pooch will love roaming the spooky streets in this easy-to-make ferocious yet adorable woof-asaurus Halloween costume.

Tools and Materials

• One 18-by-18-inch square wool felt

Doggie Dino Tank How-To

1. Print template here. Cut out spiky spine template. Using disappearing-ink pen, trace the spikes of the spine onto felt. Cut around the spikes, leaving them attached to the felt as shown.
2. Cut through the slits in the slit template. Place it on the shirt, and trace lines through the slits. Snip out the slits on the shirt.
3. Place the felt strip inside the shirt. Pull the spikes through the slits so they stand up.

So we are excited to announce our new Tuesday blog series “Spotlight on a Rescue or Charity”, to pay tribute and honor animal rescue, shelters and charities. These are our unsung heroes across America dedicated to enriching, saving and nurturing the lives of animals in need.  We hope you will champion our cause by barking the word about the importance of pet adoption, You can also donate your time and finances to help your local animal shelter, rescue or charity. Be a voice, email us if you know of a deserving animal rescue, non profit or charity that should be spotlighted and recognized. With that said, we are proud to spotlight “ The Anti-Cruelty Society“. Thanks for being the voice against animal cruelty and for saving lives!

About The Anti-Cruelty Society

Founded in 1899, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been on the forefront of animal welfare. The Anti-Cruelty Society has been committed to caring for animals and the community. Since 1999, the beginning of their second century of caring, they have found loving permanent homes for more than 40,000 pets, spayed or neutered more than 61,000 animals and taught messages of compassion and caring for the animals to more than 225,000 school-aged children and community groups.

Mission

Building a community of caring by helping pets and educating people.

The Anti-Cruelty Society is committed to caring.

They:

• Provide compassionate care for any animal in need
• Attempt to find a home for every healthy or rehabilitatable dog and cat that comes to us
• Intervene to prevent cruelty to animals
• Partner with the community to educate on animal issues and inspire compassion and respect
• Provide low or no cost spaying or neutering

Philosophy

At The Anti-Cruelty Society we believe:

• In an open door policy – we will not turn away any animal in need
• There are no time limits placed on any animal in our care
• That no healthy or rehabilitatable pet should be euthanized
• The key to pet overpopulation is sterilization
• That education can prevent cruelty, abuse and neglect and promote responsible pet ownership
• If an animal’s quality of life is severely compromised, euthanasia is the humane alternative

How Can You Help The Anti-Cruelty Society?

The Anti-Cruelty Society has provided shelter and medical care for thousands of animals since 1899. Volunteers make their success possible by helping throughout their shelter, veterinary clinic, from home and beyond! If you love animals and are interested in lending a helping hand - you've come to the right place!

There are so many ways to join the fight against animal cruelty and get involved: by volunteering, adopting or donating. 

Be a voice! Support The Anti-Cruelty Society by “Liking” their Facebook page. Bark the word about their cause, join the fight to end animal cruelty!
