As we near the end of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we cannot forget the precious farm animals that can be caught in the cross-fire of domestic violence. They deserve to be safe too.

When we work with shelters in rural and farming communities, we look for animal shelters, rescues and barns that can provide safe housing. If you are a shelter in a rural community, have you identified those partners who can house farm animals and livestock? If not, reach out and we will help you look.

With concern about SNAP benefits, just remember that food insecurity can also impact family pets. All it takes is a small group of people to add a couple extra cans of pet food or human food when shopping and deliver it to a local food pantry or animal shelter/rescue pantry. If you have a pet friendly domestic violence shelter nearby, also reach out to them to see if they are in need of pet food donations. Domestic violence shelters have struggled with decreased and fluctuating Federal funding to keep their doors open. So as we come together to support our community, please remember your local domestic violence shelter and that they may also be feeding pets on site. A little goes a long way when we do this together.

Whether it is domestic violence or a natural disaster, the bond that people have with their pets can keep them strong during difficult times.

And when it comes time to find safe housing at a shelter, you should not be put in the position of leaving your beloved pet behind. We understand that and are working to change this.

When a partner is abusive toward animals, your risk of also being abused skyrockets.

Did you know October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month ( )? 💜

At RedRover, we believe that no one should have to choose between their own safety and the safety of their pets. We know that survivors often delay leaving abusers because they are concerned for their animals.

This is where our Safe Escape program comes in. We provide grants to help domestic violence survivors and their pets escape abuse and find safety together, providing a lifeline for both.

Throughout October, we'll share more about this critical work. Stay tuned to learn how our compassionate community helps save lives and keeps families whole.

Congratulations to Dr. Cannon on her retirement from Northern Veterinary Associates. Northern Vets is in our network and Dr. Cannon has tirelessly helped us to care for the beloved pets of domestic violence survivors. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1384555777013658&set=a.488849079917670

After 37 years of dedicated service to veterinary medicine, Dr. Susan Cannon will be retiring from Northern Veterinary Associates.
Dr. Cannon has been practicing in our area since 1988. She began her career at the Negaunee Veterinary Clinic, having practiced there for 14 years. In 2002, she and Dr. Jandron opened Northern Veterinary Associates. From that point forward they were allowed to build the practice they had always dreamed about. For the next 23 years, Dr. Cannon was an integral part of our veterinary team, providing exceptional medical care and heartfelt compassion to countless patients and their families. Her commitment to excellence, professionalism, and community has set the highest standard for veterinary care.
As Dr. Cannon begins this new chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude for her years of service and leadership. While we will miss her presence in the clinic, her legacy will continue to shape our practice for years to come.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Cannon on her well-deserved retirement.

Going to college is hard. Of course taking more advanced classes is hard, and having a larger workload than in high school takes some time to navigate.
