Happy International Dog Day! 🐶🐾🐕🐩

We love our dogs, A LOT. More than 65 million U.S. households own one, making dogs our most popular pets. International Dog Day, held every year on August 26, celebrates the bond between humans and their dogs and encourages dog ownership of all breeds.

International Dog Day was established in 2004 by pet and family lifestyle advocate, Colleen Paige. The date marks the anniversary of the day her family adopted her first dog from an animal shelter when Colleen was 10 years old.

A big THANK YOU to our most popular four-legged friends. How do dogs enrich your life? 🫶🏼♥️ Please give them some extra smooches and snuggles today!

Lots of this over the last four mornings with Sadie 🐕💕 What about y’all?

Morning snuggles can be beneficial for both humans and dogs. Sleeping increases oxytocin levels in dogs, which is known as the “love hormone”. This usually makes them more affectionate and in the mood for a solid cuddle session when they wake up. Snuggling with dogs also releases oxytocin levels in humans, which contributes to feelings of trust and empathy. This helps to strengthen the bond between you and your pups.

“Mother” can mean different things to different people. I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day, whatever that means to you. 🤗♥️

Oh to be a cat and never need know what day of the week it is 🙌🏼😂

Do you have a senior cat with special needs? The bonds with our older companion pets are so special. We rely on them just as much as they rely on us. Give them some extra TLC today and every day.

✨🐆 MEET THEO & CHICKIE 🐆✨

“Say hello to the dynamic duo, Chickie and Theo. They have their own bedroom fully equipped with everything two bengal boys need. They love to play fight and cuddle each other right after. They enjoy strolls around the neighborhood in their cat stroller and love greeting guests in our home.

Chickie the older brother is very affectionate and full of surprises. He is the least coordinated cat and has already undergone two hip surgeries. Theo is a skillful hunter and professional hide-and-seeker. He follows mom around like a shadow and vocalizes when he’s ready for treats.”

Remi and Winnie say that they hope you all have a wonderful week and that they love you a lot! They told me to let everyone know 🤗💛

Behind every strong, independent woman there is a cat and/or dog who follows her to the bathroom. Or if you’re Tango, follows me to any room I’m currently in 🥰😺 I absolutely adore my velcro kitty!

Happy Thursday from this handsome boy ✨♥️

Loki is such a funny little guy and very particular about the people he likes. He’s part chihuahua, part miniature pincher, and he’s extremely food motivated. You have to watch him like a hawk on walks because he’s fast and will literally pick up anything. Stale street bread is his favorite 😝🙈 One time he got hold of an entire piece of pizza and it was torture getting it from him—had to trade it for something else tasty. He also enjoys messing with his older cat brothers, Rocket and Radio 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ Rocket is much more tolerant than Radio and even plays sometimes, it’s adorable. Ultimately, they do all get along and adore each other.

Our feline-friends are a curious bunch. Their eccentric and often mysterious personalities are hard to define. They’re affectionate when they want to be, entirely honest, and often dramatic. Although we might not understand them completely, we love them unconditionally 😻❤️

Is your cat the affectionate type? Charlie sure is! ✨👆

My smol yet fearless direwolf 🐺🖤🏔🌲 I took these photos back in 2021 while we explored Seven Devils, NC with my dear friend, Whitney (we miss you). It was the first time Thor saw snow and believe me, the moment did not disappoint—he was in heaven and so was I, watching him joyously sniff and play around in the fresh white powder. He was definitely in his element.
⁣
You are a spirited force of nature, a daring adventurer with a heart of gold, always exuding an air of gentleness and spontaneity. You are the extrovert to my introvert—although I am a circumstantial extrovert with you by my side. You have taught me so much and been my constant companion—thank you. I love you, my handsome Thor Odin Pearl 🐾⚔️🌬️❄️

😺😷 If your cat practiced in the mirror, what would their daily affirmation be?

Sasha’s would likely be, “I am FLUFFY and I am WORTHY!” ✨💕

Precious Pearl came to us for care when her owner passed away, and we couldn't help but fall for this lil house panther and her dazzling eyes! We've treated this beautiful gal for some senior-related health issues since she's been with us, including kidney disease. Thanks to our friends at Purina, we're able to provide her with Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Early Care Wet Cat Food to help keep her healthy! Now, sweet Pearl (751456) is receiving lots of love and affection with a foster volunteer while she waits for a fur-ever home.

Thank you, Purina, for providing the nutrition our shelter pets need to thrive!
