A quick reminder about fireworks season and your pets. Thanks ASPCA!

What do I do in my free time? I visit animals, of course! I met this sweet rescue Cockatiel who danced with me, snuggled, and gave licks. I love birds!

Happy Thursday from our little cutie, Rico.

It's ! Let's celebrate all the furry, feathered, scaly, the fins, claws, and paws that fill our lives with so much joy. I ❤️ them all. Introduce us to your pet friends here!

For the kitties! I don't see many posts about enrichment for cats, but it looks like there's one worth checking out from Kong. All pets can have more fulfilling and happy lives with a variety of enrichment activities. Give it a try.

What a rabbit! Good story 👏

This is Grayson Goose the Third.
He is an English Angora Rabbit.
Grayson found a small Silica Gel bag on the floor that had fallen unnoticed out of a doll box.
Despite the bag saying “DO NOT EAT” Grayson thought it looked quite taste-able.
Mom remembered that the ASPCA Animal Poison Control number - (888) 426-4435 - was on Pet Care’s page last month.
Mom called. Grayson napped.
Mom found out Silica Gel was not an emergency for a six pound bunny.
Grayson ate hay.
Mom breathed a sigh of relief.
When in doubt, call! You will be glad you did!

So sweet

💙🐾 ALBERT 🐾💙

I sits and does a watch as day turns to night ✨
Time seems to be a blur and without finite ⏳
Despite it all, I remain happy and hopeful 🤞🏼
Saving my wishes for when I get the signal
That one kind heart has come for lonely mine ❤️
Together forever, I dream of this divine 💭
A home and a family to call my very own 🥰
Pillows, blankies, toys and a bone 🦴
Human love is all I ever pray and wish for 🙏🏻
So please can you give me a share once more 🥺

Two fraudulent phishing accounts have posted on this site AND gave false ratings stating they "Do not recommend this business" lowering our star rating from 5 to 3! These are not clients. They are not real people. Please disregard.

**If you know how to resolve this issue with false ratings, please DM me. Facebook makes it very difficult to find solutions for business pages beyond blocking people, which I have done.
Thank you!

There's plenty to discuss about pet food, but we can all agree that FREE food is the best. When Flash passed away, we donated his remaining food to the Central Missouri Humane Society's pet food bank with a little note from him.

The CMHS pet food bank keeps people and pets together ❤️. If pet owners have a need, they can just go pick up some food. Easy as that. No judgment. No longer do people have to give up their pets to ensure they have food. And fewer pets in the shelter is a huge win for everybody. I love this program!

You can donate food, treats, and supplies, new or open, to the CMHS pet food bank. Some rescues also take medications and prescriptions, too.

Rico and I wish you a warm and cozy holiday season and a very merry Christmas! This photo session supported The Spay Neuter Project. They do an amazing job of keeping cats and dogs out of the shelters. I'm so grateful for the work they do.

We have a few great organizations in Columbia/Boone County rescuing, healing, and caring for adoptable pets. Giving has dropped 10-15% this year, and this group in particular really needs your help. They are $6,500 short of their goal. They only received $1,000 in the CoMo Gives campaign. Literally saving animals that need life-saving medical treatment: what a 🎁 💝. Please give generously.
Someone in your life may really appreciate a donation in their name as a holiday gift. I know I would. So much better than a physical object you can buy!

Our initiative began this year on Giving Tuesday, November 28th, and we're excited to share that we've already raised $1,000! 🙌 However, there's a nationwide decrease in giving by 10% this year, and CoMoGives is also anticipated to experience a 10-15% decline in donations.

If this trend persists, it could impact our ability to assist as many animals in 2024 as we aspire to. Armani's Angels relies solely on donations and proceeds from fundraising events to fulfill our mission, with 100% of funds directly aiding animals in need 🐾❤

With your continued support, we remain optimistic about reaching our $7,500 goal for CoMoGives. To achieve this, we're counting on your contributions! 🙏 We're immensely grateful for the fantastic group of supporters we have, and your past help has brought us this far. A contribution of just $10 or more to our CoMoGives campaign this month can have a lasting impact on the lives of animals in need. Click here to donate and help us spread the word: https://comogives.com/product/armanis-angels-7/

Litter has really increased in our area the last few years. It really upsets me. 😡 😪The problem is so overwhelming; I didn't know where to start. 🥺
But today, I walked Rico 🐕 at Stephen's Lake Park and was already picking up p**p. It was simple to add cigarette butts, sugar packets, chip bags, tissues, and random pieces of plastic to his p**p bag.
It felt REALLY good, and the area we walked is FREE OF LITTER. YAY! 😍
Next time, I'll bring a used bag or small box to close the loop.
Please consider carrying something in your car or pocket to do something little that has a big effect. Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your pets! A few reminders for pet safety this holiday weekend. To happy and healthy pets!

10/12/2023

I know these warnings can be a downer. But the alternative...

Bringing down your cool weather clothes from the attic? Beware of mothballs. The ingestion of just one mothball can cause significant problems. Naphthalene - an offending chemical found in some brands of mothballs - is toxic to dogs, cats and other animals, and if ingested, can cause serious illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, swelling of the brain tissue, seizures, damage to the liver, kidneys and blood cells, coma and even death.

Another useful safety tip. Oh, those Box Elder bugs! Google Box Elder bugs for close-up ID photos and descriptions.

There are other outdoor and indoor plants and insects that are toxic to pets and farm animals. It's worth checking Google for those as well.

Snake root, the one with pretty little fluffy white flower clusters that are along roadsides and yards right now, is. At one easy-to-spot toxic plant to keep your pets and milk producing animals away from.

Thanks for caring for the animals in your life! Diane's Happy Tails Pet Care does the same.
