Lost Pet Prevention:

Accidents happen, absolutely; even to the most careful pet parents. 

We talk a lot on our Facebook page about planning ahead and having a mindset of "Safety for the Whole Family". thinking proactively, and how to ensure safety is always a priority in our homes. The reality is that it takes just seconds for a dog or cat to slip past us - even when we're being careful - especially with visitors, small children, etc. 

Blocking Off Potential Escape Routes: Despite our best efforts, furry friends often manage to get loose, so today we're going to look at a simple way to prevent front door escapes.

Lost Pet Prevention: Spring Edition

"Prevention of Lost Pets" is a topic we've focused quite a bit on over the last decade, encouraging thoughtful actions, safe habits, and a mindset of avoiding tragedy. No judgement!! This is us saying "hey, as a young, inexperienced pet parent I didn't think of these things" - and by passing it on to you now - together we can prevent animals from getting lost. Always Think First = #SafetyForTheWholeFamily

Thank You Foster Pet Parents | My First Time Letting Go

You know what's weird? When you realize you've been saying something for a long time, thinking that you understood, but you didn't really quite get it. Then one day, a situation becomes personal and only then do you discover how much you didn't know at all. I've been telling other people for a while things like "that's so great you volunteer as a foster", or "gosh, it must be hard to let them go", but until today I don't think I ever realized what it was really like. I'm a permanent type of rescuer, as we've always gone to adopt our animals for life, to bring them into our home for good. We often find or end up with ones that need extra attention or special care, and for that reason they wind up being forever furry family members.
