📢 Compassion 4 Paws Policy Reminder: Euthanasia Services

At Compassion 4 Paws, our mission is to provide love, dignity, and comfort for pets who are truly at the end of their journey—not to offer convenience-based solutions. ❤️🐾

🔹 We do NOT perform convenience euthanasia.
This means we will only provide euthanasia services for pets who:
• Have a terminal medical condition confirmed by a veterinarian, with no reasonable treatment options available to restore comfort or quality of life.

🔹 We do NOT perform behavioral euthanasia without a formal behavioral assessment by our General Manager at Nana-n-Paws.

Unfortunately, we receive too many requests from families who are:
• Tired of caring for senior pets
• Unwilling to pursue reasonable treatment options
• Experiencing lifestyle or household changes that make pet ownership inconvenient

We believe every pet deserves a fair chance at life and healing when treatment is possible. If it is medically determined that euthanasia is the best option for your pet, we will absolutely help them cross over peacefully. 🐶🐱

Stop in and welcome our newest staff member, Toruk. He is ready to get you all scheduled and taken care of. He doesn’t have the best phone etiquette, but we’re working on it. Lol

There is a false Facebook post circulating that states that you can call 313-922-3647 to report animals left out in the cold statewide 24/7. This is incorrect. That is the number for Detroit Animal Control. They ONLY serve Detroit and they are open 7am-7pm seven days a week. I suspected that was false information, so I called and talked with them myself. You need to call your local animal control.

[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.) Edited to add links to more pond phots.

Did you know that the second Saturday of May has been declared by FEMA as National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day?

An individual family’s emergency plan is just that: one plan for one family. Emergency kits should include all family and pet needs, such as dietary restrictions and any needed medications. Keep all important documents such as personal identification (passports, birth certificates, social security cards), medical records, (for pets: vaccinations, microchip information, vet, and emergency contacts), and any prescriptions in an easy to access place in the event you must leave your home with short notice. Consider keeping digital records of documents.

Start moving your animals when a severe weather watch is issued. If you can’t move animals because they are in tanks or cages, cover them with blankets. It is better for your animals to be confined before any severe weather hits than to scramble in the minutes after a warning has been issued.

Have a carrier or crate for each pet. Assign your pets to individual household members. Plan and practice how to catch your nervous or shy animals. Practice familiarizing your pet with their carriers and crates so there’s less anxiety. Make a routine and offer high value rewards. Ensure all carriers or crates are in good condition. If there is damage, replace the carrier. Losing a pet during an emergency because of a broken door or cracked side is a preventable tragedy.

Enroll your family in Smart911. The Rave Alert system allows Clinton County to communicate with our residents before, during, and after an emergency.

This National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day, Clinton County Animal Control wants to help you and your animals prepare for an emergency BEFORE they happen.

Get prepared. Stay informed. Stay safe.
