Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose with your mouth and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

UPDATE 6/26: CARAMEL & BAILEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!
Who in the world could dump these adorable little creatures in the woods and just walk away from them?? We have no idea who did such a thing, but that's what happened to this mom/daughter guinea pig pair a few days ago. We're so grateful to the good samaritan who noticed them on the local Rail Trail and was able to safely capture them and bring them to safety.

We cannot stress enough that unwanted small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, even pet birds, cannot survive outdoors. Please, if you can no longer care for your pet, bring them to a shelter or rescue. We've seen entirely too many of these cases and are so very grateful to the people that notice these abandoned pets and go out of their way to bring them to safety.

Fortunately, the guinea pig pair appear to be in good health and no harm came to them during their time outdoors. They are both remarkably sweet and friendly, and so happy to be safe and sound. The fluffy, long-haired girl is Caramel, who is around a year old, and her little daughter, Bailey, appears to be just a few months old. They're both very happy to be held, petted, and get attention, and they're so people-friendly. They are also extremely close with one another so they will need a home where they can stay together forever. They will be available for adoption in the next couple of days and they are so deserving of a fresh start in life. If you're interested in giving them the best home ever, contact us at [email protected] for an application.
