This beautiful girl needs a new home. PLEASE SHARE

Meet Lucy; she is a female/spayed 8.5 yr Alaskan Malamute weighing approx 125 lbs.

She is very loving and sweet, gets along with people, and loves being petted. She does best with smaller dogs. Someone familiar with and comfortable handling larger dogs would be ideal.

Lucy had her senior wellness exam in April, and her hypothyroid disease is being well managed by daily medication. She is current on her vaccines, is heartworm negative and received her Proheart 12 injection in April.

Lucy's owner is dealing with some health challenges and is physically unable to give her the care and attention she needs. She has made the difficult decision to rehome her and has asked us to share her situation with our friends, colleagues, and network of dog lovers.

For more information about Lucy, please email [email protected]
(Please share this with your friends, dog groups, or rescues.)

Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

Know the Warning Signs!

Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor, or even collapse. They can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees. Animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

No Parking!
Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. “On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time with the windows open-which could lead to fatal heat stroke,” says Dr. Louise Murray, Vice President of ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. Also, leaving pets unattended in cars in extreme weather is illegal in several states.

Caffeine Can Be Poisonous to Pets...even small doses can have a big impact on an animal's health.

As students cram for finals, many are no-doubt using caffeine to help keep them alert. What pet lovers may not realize is that caffeine is not only bad for animals, but can lead to death in extreme cases. Find out what happened when an inquisitive canine named Cooper decided to munch down on his owner’s caffeine pills:
