Treat Your Pets by Knowing Their Needs!

🐾🤔 Figuring out your pet’s needs can be tricky, but treat them to a happy (and safe) Halloween! 🍂 Watch as our curious pup, Waylon demonstrates how pets celebrate Halloween in their own unique ways! Whether they’re head-to-paw in an elaborate costume, rocking a stylish bandana, or enjoying spooky strolls with their pet parent or friends, every lovable pet is different. It’s important to understand their comfort levels so you and your furry best friend can have a howling good time! 🐶💖 How does your pet like to celebrate Halloween? Let us know in the comments! 🐾🎃 #MHHS #halloweenpetsafety #spookyszn #shelterhalloween

🐾 #FosterFriday with Aries! 🐾 We asked Aries foster parent's for an update on this 8-year-old charmer and he is living his best life in foster care, mastering tricks and showing off his adventurous spirit! ✨ His foster family has helped over 40(!) dogs find their way to forever homes, but don't let that number worry you - fostering is totally flexible and can fit YOUR schedule, whether it's short or long term, one dog or many! 🐶 We need cat and kitten fosters too! 🐱 Aries is ready to be your next best friend, and his foster family is ready to help another pup in need. 💙 That's the magic of fostering - each goodbye makes space for another tail-wagging hello! 🏠 Interested in adopting this treat-loving sweetheart? Or curious about becoming a foster parent (we provide all supplies and support!)? Click the links in our comments! 💕 #MHHS #FosteringSavesLives #518Pets #Adopt #Aries
