In the summer of 2010, Cub Creek Science Camp was able to rescue 36 animals (dogs and cats) from our local shelter and place them with permanent homes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How long is a dog pregnant?

and other interesting things about dogs

 

 

The length of pregnancy in a dog varies with the breed, but on average their gestation period is 62 days.

 

The dog is one of the most popular pets in the world. It ordinarily remains loyal to a considerate master, and because of this the dog has been called man's best friend. Class distinctions between people have no part in a dog's life. It can be a faithful companion to either rich or poor.

Dogs have been domesticated for most of human history and have thus endeared themselves to many over the years. Stories have been told about brave dogs that served admirably in war or that risked their lives to save persons in danger. When Pompeii--the Roman community destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79--was finally excavated, searchers found evidence of a dog lying across a child, apparently trying to protect the youngster. Perhaps few of the millions of dogs in the world may be so heroic, but they are still a source of genuine delight to their owners.

Dogs play an important role here at Cub Creek Science Camp.  We have several "Camp" dogs that remain with us year after year and then we have the dogs that we bring in from rescue shelters for the summer in hopes that they will find a permanent home.  For many campers this is a chance to spend quality time with one of "Man's Best Friends".  Each camp session most of the dogs that we bring in find homes after having been petted and loved all summer.  Tilly is our Australian Shepard mix and her picture is at the top of the page.  The big white Great Pyrenees is Angel.  Not pictured is Alphie our Border Collie.
