Go get you a new baby! 🐶🐱🐹🦄
Shelters are FULL. Fostering and adopting can benefit every soul involved 🩵🐾

A message from WakeGov Pets: Wake County Animal Center

"The Wake County Animal Center is facing a heartbreaking situation – we are critically full and, if space on the adoption floor isn’t freed up by adoptions, reclaims by owners, fosters or transfers to rescue partners, we will be forced to create space by euthanasia. Staff have put together a list of at-risk animals, which has only been done one other time in recent years. Most of these beloved animals have been in our care for over 90 days (with some closer to 175 days). While the Center is completely full in both the public and staff-only areas, leaving no room for new animals, please understand this difficult decision is a last resort. In an urgent effort to save lives and preserve our eight-year record of not euthanizing a healthy, adoptable animal for space, we are participating in month-long the Clear the Shelters event. During this event, all adoption fees will be waived in hopes of finding loving homes for the wonderful animals in our care. This adoption promotion will take place from Friday, August 9th through Sunday, September 8th."

Heartworm are nothing to ignore. When my boy came to me, he came with heartworm. Thankfully we were able to treat him!

Heartworms DON'T make good neighbors.

If you have a baby that suffers from any form of stress or anxiety when they are left alone, an in-home sitter can often help them while you're away 🩵 They are able to stay in their own space, and while it's true that the family is away, they can at the very least hold on to that bit of normality. 🐱🐶

Do not give hydrogen peroxide to cats!
The internet can be full of misinformation, and whether or not hydrogen peroxide can be given to cats is unfortunately, a topic that can lead to deadly consequences. There is no safe or effective way to make our feline friends vomit at home, that includes using hydrogen peroxide. In fact, using something like hydrogen peroxide can cause significant injury to a cat’s gastrointestinal system, potentially causing more damage than the original issue. Cats are extremely sensitive to the gastric irritant effects of hydrogen peroxide and giving any amount by mouth can have severe negative effects that can lead to death. If your pet ingested something you are concerned may be toxic, call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline right away before attempting to perform any treatments at home.
