🦃🍂 What Can Your Pet Eat on Thanksgiving? 🍂🦃

As we dig into our holiday favorites, our pets are always hoping for a bite too! Here are a few safe treats your furry friends can enjoy — and what to avoid:

✅ Pet-Safe Thanksgiving Bites:
• Plain turkey (no skin, no bones)
• Plain mashed sweet potatoes
• Steamed or roasted veggies like carrots or green beans
• A small taste of plain pumpkin

❌ Avoid These:
• Turkey skin, bones, or gravy
• Stuffing or foods with onions/garlic
• Desserts — especially anything with chocolate or xylitol
• Fatty or heavily seasoned foods

A little goes a long way — keep treats small and simple!

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🐾

At Terris Wandering Paws, we care deeply about your pets and their safety.

This is giving season! Please consider supporting pets in need.

Join us this Friday from 10 am–12 pm at Paws for a Cause Vet Care, formerly Spay Illinois, for our first-ever Pet Food Drive, located in our Truckport 🐾

This holiday season, we’re excited to launch our Project Families Forever Pet Food Drive! This new initiative is designed to help people help their pets by providing free pet food to families in need.

Families can receive up to 2 bags of pet food per household, while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis. Pets must be current on their rabies vaccine and spayed/neutered. If your pet needs these services, we can help you access them. Families can still receive food at their first visit!

A huge thank you to Rescue Pack for providing pet food through their Bowls of Hope holiday initiative. Your generosity is helping pets stay fed this season ❤

Want to get involved? You can donate food, treats, toys, bowls, beds, and more! You can drop items in our donation box in the vestibule. And even sharing this post helps spread the word to families who need us most!

🐾 National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week 🐾
We don’t usually like the spotlight — but we can't let this week slip by unnoticed. We want to shine on the incredible people who deserve it most: our shelter staff. 💙
We know that “animal control” doesn’t always get the best reputation. Too often, people think about us and assume the worst. What they don’t see are the hearts behind our jobs — the people who love animals so deeply that they’ve chosen one of the hardest jobs imaginable.
These are the people who work tirelessly - long days, late nights, weekends, and holidays — answering calls that few others could handle. They’re the ones comforting a frightened stray, reuniting a lost pet with their family, and making sure every animal in our care knows kindness — even on the hardest days.
What many don’t see is how deeply this work stays with them. They carry the weight of the tough calls and the heartbreaking moments most people can’t even fathom. Often taking animals home to foster after their shifts, spending their own time and money to make sure every life gets a chance. They carry the stories of the ones they couldn’t save. They deal with the tough, heartbreaking moments most people don’t ever have to think about — and yet, they come back the next day ready to do it all again.
These are the quiet heroes who don’t ask for recognition, just the hope that the next animal will have a better day — and a better life — because they cared.
To our team: thank you for your compassion, your strength, and your endless heart. We see you, we thank you, and we couldn’t be prouder of the work you do.
To our rescue partners and community supporters — THANK YOU for standing beside us, believing in this mission, and helping us change hearts and save lives, one animal at a time. We couldn’t save lives without your endless support. It truly takes all of us to make a difference.
From all of us at Aurora Animal Care & Control — thank you for appreciating the people and the heart behind animal shelters. 🐶🐱💙

Let's keep the candle burning bright for all the dogs who brought love and light to our lives. Though they may be gone, their memory stays with us, a reminder of the joy they brought. Their paw prints are forever on our hearts, a reminder of the love they shared. Let's keep their spirit alive, one candle at a time.
