Wise words from our local shelter folks. 🐾

FRIDAY FOOD FOR THOUGHT

If you are a follower of our page, it’s probably safe to assume you love animals. We appreciate that, so we are asking for your help to spread the word and assist where you can!!

What's Happening:

We are a country of pet lovers. Yet we are also a country in crisis when it comes to the number of homeless pets of all species. Shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries across the country are full. Many find themselves with no space and resources to accept new animals. Adoptions are down, intakes are up, and there seems to be a shortage of staff and volunteers everywhere. Both people and animals are struggling.

Though we don’t claim to be experts on this perfect storm affecting animals, a few factors are apparent. Some have solutions within our reach as individuals, others are more global in nature.
Housing costs, housing shortages, and housing pet restrictions have all increased, making it harder for people to keep pets in their homes. Costs of pet care have increased, including food and medical care which have become out of reach for many animal guardians.

Other factors currently contributing to the crisis are :
* A lack of understanding of animal behavior and innate needs of animals
* The irresponsible breeding of animals
* A human desire for instant gratification
* Pets being seen as disposable and a lack of long term commitment

What you can do to help:

* Take the long view before getting any pet. Learn about their needs and behavior,
and carefully consider before making the commitment. Consider the lifespan of the
animal and the implications for your future life. Recognize that life with another
species is not always easy and may require more work than expected at times. Is
this a commitment you are willing to make?
* Seek available support services in your community and online to help you keep
your pet: pet food pantries, behavior resources, vet hospitals
* Prevent unwanted breeding/spay/neuter
* Consider becoming a foster parent for a homeless pet or shelter animal
* Volunteer at your local shelter
* Donate to pet food pantries at your shelter or local community food banks
* Be a pet-friendly landlord if you have rental units
* Support your local shelter to allow them to care for the homeless animals they
serve
* Adopt from your local shelter that is working to reduce the plight of homeless
animals in your own community.

The FKSPCA strives to maintain the bond between people and their animals and keep animals in their homes. We do this by offering free behavior counseling, low cost preventative care for cats and dogs, a pet food pantry, low cost spay and neuter services, and our Safe Haven Program which offers temporary housing for pets belonging to individuals attempting to leave domestic abuse situations.

We are hopeful that by working together and supporting each other, we can turn this crisis into an opportunity for the betterment of animals and us!

With so many new followers (yay!), I think it’s time to re-introduce the inspiration for this business. So in honor of National Pet Day, let me tell you about a dog named Henry Flagler, who inspired a business and lives in my heart. 🥰

One day in September 2012, I spotted the grungiest little dog at the Florida Keys SPCA. He had just come in as a stray, having been found wandering on Flagler Avenue all alone. He looked stressed and confused, but his hazel eyes were so sweet.

He was a stinky little guy with patches of matted fur where the staff had to shave him to begin treating the fleas. He had clearly been homeless for some time.

I returned to the shelter to visit him the following week, and that Friday he came home with me on a “trial” visit. Needless to say, he never went back. 

I got him cleaned up, and it turns out that under all of that grunge and matted fur, he was a purebred Maltipoo. 😲

I quickly learned that Henry Flagler was smart, sweet and so grateful for the home we shared. He enjoyed naps, car rides and cuddling on my lap, as well as searching the kitchen floor for any fallen scraps. And he was a TREAT MONSTER! Man, that dog loved his treats!

His allergies were terrible, so to avoid itchy breakouts, I started cooking his food. This way I could control the ingredients and prevent him from suffering.

Eventually, I figured out that I could use my baking skills to also make his treats. Healthy, non-toxic treats with ingredients that I could pronounce. No preservatives. Excellent quality. Delicious, high value treats that he would love.

A lightbulb went off and a business was born. 💡

Henry was with me every step of the way, from licensing to product development and logo design. He tested all of our treats as I perfected recipes - but believe me, he never turned down a single one! 😂

He enthusiastically served as chief tasting officer and quality control consultant until he passed away from cancer on Jan. 12, 2022. 🌈💔

Today, Henry lives on in the business he inspired, and in the 9 years of memories in my heart. I would give anything to have him back, but treating his fellow canines to the goodies he loved gives me joy.

So that’s the story of my sweet boy Henry Flagler and how he inspired me to make Henry’s Barkalicious Dog Treats a reality.

Happy National Pet Day! Give your fur babies a little extra love today. And in Henry’s memory, take 20% off treats today at HenrysDogTreats.com by using code HENRY at checkout.❤️

Sharing Dr. Doug’s post because it’s super important to know what’s in your pup’s treats.

This is why I am so careful in developing my recipes. And why I have each one lab tested for nutritional value (check my product labels).

I encourage all pet parents to read labels and be knowledgeable about what’s safe for their pets. Be very careful about purchasing treats from sources that aren’t licensed by the state Dept. of Agriculture. I’ve seen people selling treats who clearly have NO knowledge about what is safe for pets to consume, so we have to be diligent to protect our fur babies. 🐾
