Fun Fact Friday: Snowy Owls will fly south from the Arctic to Minnesota during the winter to find food. They can sometimes be spotted at MSP airport because the airport's flat, open grounds resemble the Arctic, making it a surprisingly good location for sightings on light posts and buildings.

If you are thinking of adding a new surprise family member as a holiday gift, be mindful that the holiday time can be a loud and chaotic time for many families.
Rescues and shelters see an uptick in surrenders a few weeks after the holidays, as many families were not fully prepared for a new furry friend. Pets are lifetime commitments.
Here are some suggestions on how to prepare your home and family for a new friend.
1) Plan Together: Talk to the family/person first to confirm they are ready for a pet.
2)Go Together: Visit a shelter or rescue with them to find the right match (dog, cat, etc.).
3) Gift a "Promise": Present a pet carrier with a bow, a new leash, a toy, or a gift certificate for adoption fees.
4) Cover Initial Costs: Offer to pay the adoption fee and first year's supplies (food, bowls, bed, etc.).
5) Prepare Supplies: Have food, bowls, bedding, toys, litter box, etc., ready for when they bring the new pet home.
6) Start Training: Research local vets and puppy/kitten classes beforehand for a smooth transition.
Pet ownership costs about $1,500 to $5,000 the first year, and $1,500 to $3,000 a year after that. This includes annual veterinarian appointments, food, equipment (beds, toys, leashes, etc.), and any training your new companion might need. This does not include adoption or breeder fees.
