Perhaps you have a friend or family member that added a Christmas puppy to the household. Be a good friend and leverage your positive influence to educate:

* puppies should not be left outside unsupervised, even if the yard is fenced or if the puppy is placed on a tether
* educate about the dangers of predators: animal and human
* gift a collar that the puppy can grow into (choose embroidered as a tag might be too much depending on if the puppy is a small breed dog)
* remind the owner(s) that as the puppy grows, the collar must be adjusted to avoid cutting into the puppy's skin
* snap photos as the puppy grows; coloring and fur can change as the puppy grows

Monthly reminder for those who have electronic fence...

Low batteries won't help your pet stay safe.

Add a monthly reminder on your phone to check the batteries proactively.

Don't ride the battery to its last ounce of juice šŸ˜³.

Your pet's life could be kept safe if you exercise prevention.

2023 was an amazing year of continued organic growth of this community. From the time I dreamed of this organization's mission, I always longed for engaged community members to join. You have delivered!

Thank you for staying focused on this mission to reunite lost and found pets within our community. Our team cannot deliver this community service without its community members. We are so grateful for the support you have shown us.

As we look forward to 2024, we will be initiating two new programs aimed at reuniting MORE pets across Missouri.

The first initiative will be to hold POP UP MICROCHIP CLINICS to provide FREE / LOW COST microchips. These microchips will be registered for the pet owners. Owners will be provided with education on how to keep the microchips updated. We will need your help to get the word out about these events. Be sure to visit our state-wide page, Missouri Lost & Found Paws, for the events. Share them. Broadcast them. We want to get more pets home.

The second initiative will be to provide microchips to rural animal control facilities. They simply do not have the budget to do this. Our organization, no, our community, CAN make a difference to bridge this gap. We already have some rural areas who have expressed great interest in this program. We will need our community's help to continue raising the funds to make this happen as we missed our target goal with our recent auction. We KNOW working together, we CAN deliver on this initiative thanks to the support of our community. We will get more pets home.

We will continue providing ISO / universal microchip scanners to Missouri animal control facilities and police departments. We have seen the value this initiative provides since the onset of this program almost SEVEN YEARS ago. Thanks to the support of our community, we continue marching forward on these deliveries.

From a personal perspective:

Some of our newer community members may not realize, our team works full time jobs. We run Missouri Lost & Found Paws as volunteers. And as you can hopefully see, we are incredibly passionate about what we do for our community. Thank you to the most amazing team one could ask for. Your dedication, compassion and service to your community does not go unnoticed.

To all of you in our ever-growing community, I am deeply humbled. Every single day. Oftentimes, as I type my posts out to share, I get emotional. I get welled up with tears. Why? When I began forming my vision in 2011, I often wondered, will I be able to get others to see what I see? Will I be able to keep people focused on the mission to reunite pets? Will this work? My goodness. Not only has my vision become a reality, our organization is widely respected. It is an incredible feeling to watch your vision grow, and deliver, and prosper. Thank you for making our community service a household name. This has been incredibly rewarding. And if you can't tell, I have more dreams to make a reality in this quest to get lost and found pets home.

Thank you. Thank you for believing in our mission.

Sincerely,
Shuma

For some, New Year's Eve includes celebrating with fireworks.

We've all been there. We think that we have picked the perfect time when it's dark out and we think the fireworks have not yet started.

All it takes is one boom for your pet to become startled.

Plan ahead. Get potty breaks out of the way before fireworks start in your area.

We recommend using a leash for New Year's Eve, especially if you have an electronic fence or a yard without a fence.

Put the loop of the leash around your wrist. A frightened pet will dart unexpectedly. If the leash is loosey goosey in your hand, your pet will now be dragging a leash in tow, which could get caught up on brush. All this leads to further panic for your pet.

Play it safe. Plan ahead.

With emotions that can run high when one has a lost pet, or one is about to meet someone that may have found their pet, it is hard to think straight!

Our Missouri Lost & Found Paws team wants to remind you to always leverage the Safe Zone meeting spots located throughout our communities. These are great places to meet up with strangers, people you don't know otherwise.

If you are the finder, grab a leash. Ensure the collar is fastened on the snug side, rather than loose, so the dog cannot bolt. Sometimes it is possible that the pet is not a match for who you are meeting.

Regardless of whether you are the owner of the lost pet, or the finder, *always* take someone with you. Never meet someone alone.

Avoid meeting at your home, for safety precautions.

While there are many good people in this world, there is a bad seed here and there.

Safety first!!

I forgot to post this. Missouri Lost & Found Paws visited City of Woodson Terrace Police Department back on August 12th. We were so excited to visit with Sergeant Brown. As we do, we always show the departments how to use the scanner and then how to look up the microchip number. Tina Roe kindly volunteered to be scanned for a microchip. Don't fret. She isn't really microchipped. She was holding the sample microchip on her arm :) . Thank you Linda Hinch for joining us for this delivery! Congrats to this amazing police department for wanting to help their residents and pets. Thank you to our community for raising the funds to purchase the universal microchip scanner for Woodson Terrace!

Come see us in St Peters today! 1 Park Street!
