💙 11 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAY 💙

🎁 Deck the halls, but be aware of your greenery! Holly, mistletoe, lilies, poinsettia, and amaryllis plants are poisonous to both dogs and cats. If you can’t resist these plants in your decorating opus, they should be out of reach for all pets.
🎁 All is calm, so be mindful of loud noises. Champagne bottles popping, Christmas crackers, and other noisy surprises can be especially traumatizing for dogs. Just like thunder and fireworks, make sure your dog is not caught off guard. Take them to a quiet, cozy place before you sit down to dinner.
🎁 Keep the bowls of candy out of reach, and no chocolate or nuts- ever! Chocolate is toxic to pets. It contains a substance called theobromine, which dogs and cats should never consume. And the higher the cocoa content, the more toxic the chocolate will be. Additionally, macadamia nuts and walnuts are highly toxic for pets. They could cause severe lethargy, vomiting, fever, tremors, joint stiffness, and could make it impossible for your pet to walk.
🎁 Avoid sharing those table scraps and overindulging your pet. Fatty meat trimmings, bones, and alcohol can all be dangerous to your pet’s health. They can cause serious illness – everything from vomiting and diarrhea to comas and seizures and stomach perforation. Other foods to be cautious of are garlic, onions, grapes, raisins, and avocado – these can cause lethargy, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Also, artificial sweeteners are very dangerous for pets to ingest, as they contain xylitol, which can be lethal.
🎁 Safe wrapping, safe pets. Presents looks so lovely under the tree, but make certain there aren’t any bows, ribbons, or string that your pet will want to play with. These can always be added last when you have time to supervise your pet. This goes for the unwrapping part too! Make sure you have a big garbage bag handy to place the gift paper in once everyone is finished unwrapping the gifts.
🎁 Give pet-approved gifts. When shopping for your fur buddy, get toys from a reputable pet store or animal hospital. And steer your pet away from playing with children’s toys.
🎁 All is bright, so prevent fire hazards. While candles provide a warm glow to your home, they should be placed on high shelves or mantels, out of your pet’s sight. If your dog is as happy as mine, a wagging tail can lead to a clumsy accident.
🎁 When gearing up the sleigh, travel safely. If you are traveling with your pet this holiday season, always make sure your pet is secure. There are now small car seats on the market that securely seatbelt in your car for small dogs. Large dogs can be kept in a size-appropriate crate with blankets or their bed. Cats should always be in a cat crate with soft blankets. And always be mindful that pets need bathroom breaks too!
🎁 Keep a normal routine with your pets. We all know how chaotic the holidays can get, so keeping as normal a routine as possible for your pet is key for their comfort and reducing any anxiety. If you are hosting, designate a quiet and cozy place for your pet to retreat to, and announce it to your family and small children so they know not to disturb your pet if it is in its cozy spot.
🎁 Take winter walks with your pup. In keeping a normal routine, this means taking your dog for winter walks, and sometimes it is snowy and icy outside. Make sure your dog is warm enough. Veterinarians recommend a dog sweater or coat to help keep them dry. Salt used to melt snow and ice can burn your dog’s paws. Veterinarians recommend protecting them with dog booties or using pet safe balm. And always dry your dog with a towel when you come inside, paying special attention to the paws. A dry dog is a healthy dog.
🎁🎁 Giving pets as gifts is a firm NO. Pets are a lifelong responsibility and should only be given as gifts to those who are ready to offer a lifetime of love and care to a new furry friend.

We hope you all have a fun and safe holiday season! ❤️💚🐾

**About Me:**
Hello, I'm Bruno. I may be young, but I'm wise beyond my years. My heart is full of curiosity, I love exploring new places and sniffing out hidden treasures. I'm a little shy, but once I get to know you, I'll be your loyal companion. My mellow nature makes me the perfect snuggle buddy, and my sweet disposition will melt your heart. I'm smart too, I love learning new tricks and commands. Life has been a bit rough, but I'm a fighter. I've overcome a lot and I'm healthier and happier now. When I was first found by one of the BSAS officers, I was abandoned, sleeping on and old mattress and taking refuge from the cold in a cardboard box. The nice officer picked me up and I immediately went to the vet. I am currently in my healing era and need someone who is patient and understanding as I learn how to trust again. I'm gentle and patient, I promise to be the best friend you could ever ask for. My past may have been tough, but I'm looking forward to a future filled with love and happiness. I'm ready to find my forever home, a place where I can feel safe and loved. Adopting me will not only change my life, it will change yours too. I'll bring joy, laughter and unconditional love into your life. So, why wait? Let's start our journey together.

**Health:**
I will be neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. I’m healthy and ready to meet my new family!

**How to Adopt:**

If you’re ready to add some love and laughter to your home, come meet me at the shelter! I can’t wait to find my forever family!

**About Me**
Hi, I'm Sonya! When I was brought to BSAS, I was only 6 weeks old and had been through so much in my short life. I had a pretty severe injury to one of my front legs but with the help of BSAS partners, I was able to get that leg removed and still have an AMAZING quality of life! My new found freedom in mobility is all about fun, games, and exploring new things. I may have three legs, but that doesn't stop me from being the most energetic kitty in the room. I'm playful, always ready for a game of chase or a good old hide and seek. My curiosity often leads me to interesting places and goofy adventures. I'm brave, not afraid of anything, and I love to make people laugh with my funny antics. Adopt me and I promise to fill your life with laughter, joy, and unconditional love.

**Health:**
I am spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. I’m healthy and ready to meet my new family!

How heartless can humans be? 💔💔
Here is a glimpse of what our officers encountered this morning. Our hearts are broken for this sweet boy.
This guy is now safe with BSAS but our work is NOT done.
Bruno appears to have hair loss, several scars along his face, and is extremely underweight. He needs immediate veterinary care to take care of his injuries and assess his overall health. If you would like to donate to this sweet boy's care, please consider contacting Treasured Pets Veterinary Hospital at (972) 843-1383!
EVERY PENNY COUNTS! 💙🧡✨
If you would like to apply to be a medical foster for Bruno until he is healthy enough for adoption, please reach out at [email protected]! 💙
Please like, comment, and share to help find him a loving home once he is feeling better! 🧡🐾
