I had posted links to the shelters closest to Mayfield, KY over the weekend, then saw this from the Twitter feed of Lorenzo the Cat:

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
If you’ve been following the news, you’ve heard the awfulness that is coming out of Mayfield, Kentucky, following the monster tornado that hit a candle factory there.
Here are links to the closest animal shelters, which I suspect are about to get very busy, very soon.
Murray-Calloway County Animal Shelter

And if you want to help the humans, too, here are a couple of places to donate:

American Red Cross (You can specify Disaster Relief, if you’d like to.)
Please give til it helps. Christmas is going to be rough for these folks.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
If you haven’t been following the news, you may not know that British Columbia (as well as much of the US Pacific Northwest) are being hammered by flooding. I came across this today on my Twitter feed and wanted to share:
If you don’t need their help, please help them financially if you can.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Recently, Aches (4.5 years old) had fallen ill. After dedicated care at home, and travel to Columbus for expert advice, it was determined that he had an inoperable tumor on his spine.
Aches was one of the rare and special K-9s in that he was 100% work; however, when he was at home he was 100% a family dog. He leaves behind his dedicated partner, best friend, and Dad, Investigator McGilton, as well as his loving momma and his human sister. Continue reading RIP K-9 Aches
It’s estimated that one in three pets will go lost during their lifetime — 10 million annually. And without a central place to report them lost or found, many may never be reunited with their families. At Petco Love, they’re determined to change that. They vow not to stop until every lost pet finds their way home. That’s why they created Petco Love Lost, a national resource that uses pet facial recognition technology to empower animal-loving communities to reunite lost pets.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
