If you’re cold, your pet is cold, too! Here are some essential tips to ensure your pets stay warm and cozy this season:

- Bring pets inside or provide secure, insulated shelter to protect them from the elements.
- Stock up on food, water, and any medications your pets may need in case bad weather limits travel.
-Keep outdoor trips short and watch for signs of frostbite or hypothermia.

Protect not only your pets but the pets in your community. If you see something, say something!

If you see or suspect an animal outside without proper shelter, call Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control at 859-255-9033.

Together, we can keep all pets safe and warm this winter.

ALERT: The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is advising residents to not feed their pets Monarch Raw Pet Food sold at several farmers markets in California due to detection of H5 bird flu virus in product samples.

Residents who fed their pets Monarch raw pet food products or other raw meat or dairy products and notice their pet is experiencing symptoms should immediately contact their veterinarian.

Additionally, residents should avoid consumption of all raw milk and raw meat products and not feed these to their pets. LA County Public Health recently confirmed H5 bird flu in four house cats from a separate household that consumed recalled raw milk and became sick and died, which is part of an ongoing investigation.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨

This is Aneto, and his situation is urgent. He’s completely stressed and overwhelmed in the shelter environment, and we know he would do best to be adopted instead of returning to a kennel.

Aneto has been in foster care, where he has made incredible progress - he's learned commands and shown his great personality. But despite his hard work and amazing personality, no one has EVER asked to meet him.

Aneto is a loyal, adventure-loving, working dog who loves the outdoors and will be your devoted protector. But his foster parents can’t continue fostering him much longer—it’s time for Aneto to find a home or another foster family to help him continue thriving.

We need YOUR help to save Aneto. Please share, like, and tag anyone who might be the perfect fit for this amazing dog. Let’s get Aneto adopted and into a home for good!

Can't adopt or foster? Please donate and have your contribution matched thanks to Nancy Barron & Associates, Inc. Investments. Every donation helps us save animals just like Aneto.

Thanks to our Preferred Partners and Adoption Center Sponsors, Richmond Road Veterinary Clinic, and Tates Creek Animal Hospital, one of the many benefits that come with choosing adoption is that your first wellness exam at their clinics will be complimentary!

Thank you to Vulcan Materials Company for sponsoring today's Pet Pal!

Important new rules for bringing dogs into the USA, please read if you plan to take your pet on vacation with you, particularly to Canada.
The main things are: owners need to fill out a form before coming back into the USA, and your pet must be microchipped.

In a change of course, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says for dogs that have only been in dog rabies-free or low-risk countries in the past six months before U.S. entry, the CDC Dog Import Form is the only form that is needed, starting August 1.
