Hurricane Preparedness
Although Dorian can’t seem to decide when – or if – to hit the US mainland, we thought it might be good to offer a few preparedness tips, whether for this one or the inevitable next one.
First, make sure you include your dog in your evacuation plans. Call during good weather to check on pet-friendly hotel availability or inland shelters that will accept dogs. Laws have changed recently, making it much easier to bring your pet along when you evacuate, so if you haven’t checked in a while, you may want to make a new list of options.

Shelter Sunday: South Bend’s San-Mar Kennel Fails Inspection
San-Mar Kennels in South Bend has been ordered to move its animals due to a failed inspection. However, the kennel is appealing the decision, so the fate of these animals is still up in the air.

We’ll be watching to see how this one turns out.

Another Overflowing Shelter
I shared several days ago two shelters who were overflowing due to specific situations of hoarding. Now WFAA reports the Ft.

So many people, they actually had a line, processing as many as 99 new intakes a day at one point. Continue reading Another Overflowing Shelter
Grounds & Hounds
Have you checked out Grounds & Hounds yet? They sell organic coffee beans, but they also have a mission of eradicating unnecessary pet euthanasia, and they donate 20% of every sale to rescue organizations.
You’re gonna buy coffee anyways; why not give them a try?

Golden Retriever Loses 100 Pounds!
I need this lady to adopt me!
Seriously, though, obesity in dogs is just as serious a problem as it is in humans. The best way to treat it is to prevent it. If your dog doesn’t have a waistline, you need to step up the exercise and cut back on the treats. You want him or her with you for a long time, don’t you?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
