Unconscionable!

During her career, Sosa spent her days as an Explosive Detection Dog. Keeping people and places safe from harm, she risked her life day in and day out.

When she was retired, she found herself at K9 Hero Haven. She lived in a kennel caked with f***s, tufts of hair pulling from her coat. Her days were stressful, her life hard.

She had been a hero, but instead of getting the respite she deserved, she lived a life of cruelty & neglect.

She was rescued alongside 27 other dogs by our Animal Law Enforcement team. And today, she is ready to finally find her family.

Learn more about her story and how you can help us save dogs like her: https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaSPCA/posts/837226218433773

⬇️ in the comments for what she looks like today!

When we posted Ke-Ke as a stray, we had so many comments and inquires about when she would be available for adoption.

Well, this 4-month-old German Shepherd puppy has been waiting for her new family to come...and they haven't.

She is available for adoption at our Philadelphia headquarters and hopes someone comes for her today.

STUDY REVEALS THE LINK BETWEEN OUR LAWNS, OUR PETS🐾, CANCER🔥 AND US

Beware pet parents: Treating your lawn with yard chemicals☠️, allowing your pet to eat or play on grass that’s been sprayed💦, or walking your pet on golf courses⛳️ can negatively affect our dog’s health, according to several studies. In fact, it can impact your entire family, as pets can bring those chemicals back inside!

In our new book, The Forever Dog, it was critical for us to highlight things in and around your home that could damage your pet’s DNA. According to Dr. David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School- “DNA damage speeds up aging.”

Several studies show: dogs exposed (through laying, playing, ingesting or inhalation) to treated lawns has been associated with a significantly higher bladder cancer risk, and dogs whose owners reported use of professionally applied lawn pesticides were 70 PERCENT more likely to have lymphoma (cancer). In fact, there was an even higher risk of lymphoma if owners used self-applied insect growth regulators on their yards to control cockroaches, fleas, and other pests!🐜

Our book focuses on how to raise the healthiest, happiest, long-lived dogs, and in it we teach you how to evaluate your dog’s indoor and outdoor environmental chemical exposure⚠️. In the section of the book titled Environmental Impact: The Body Burden, where we offer you tips like:

• Safer lawn-care options
• DIY non-toxic w**d killer recipes
• Home Chemical Exposure Pet checklist
• Forever Dog Foot Soak Recipe
• Supplements that support chemical clearance

🚨 Meet K9 Cash! 🚨

From shelter dog to police K9! K9 Cash is a new police K9 with the Scotland Police Department in North Carolina. K9 Cash has an incredible story!

K9 Cash, a 2-year-old shepherd mix, was donated to the Scotland Neck Police Department by the Southern Tier Police Canine Association. He was rescued from a shelter, where he was set to be euthanized. He was taken into the Homeless to Hero program and began training for his new career. His new partner, Officer Morris is set to begin training with him very soon!

With your support, we are going to provide K9 Cash with a hot n pop heat alarm to help keep both of them safe! The Hot N Pop Heat Alarm is $1500 but is a must have for every K9. It will alert the officer if the vehicle gets too hot when the K9 is inside, it will activate a fan, roll down the windows and honk the horn drawing attention to the vehicle. In addition, the officer will have a button on his/her duty belt, the officer can press if they need emergency help from the K9. This button will allow the door to pop open and the K9 can assist the officer such as during a struggle or foot pursuit.

Please help us keep K9 Cash safe as he begins his new journey and career.

Your body's health reflects what you put into it.

The same is true for our canine companions, but there is a huge disconnect between what we are taught as people about nutrition and health and what we are taught as dog owners.

The same principals we should apply to ourselves, should also be applied to our dogs. Healthy food creates a healthy body.

You may be wondering why it matters, so I want to take a moment to explain why food is important. Food is life. Food consists of a combination of various nutrients that provide the body with what it needs to function. Nutrition is energy, and that energy is used for all of the body's systems... energy for activity, for growth and the repair of cells, and all functions within the body.

Across the globe, health professionals recommend we eat healthy food to prevent disease and live and longer life. The same applies to our dogs. Healthy food ultimately helps prevent disease and illness in our canine companions, while promoting a longer life.

What does healthy food look like for dogs? Healthy food is fresh food. Although kibble is mostly nutritionally balanced, it is highly processed and often uses poor quality ingredients to achieve nutrition requirements for dogs.

Adding fresh food to your dog's kibble, or switching to a homemade or raw food diet is ideal. It is of utmost importance and regardless of the diet you choose to feed, you maintain nutritional balance. An unbalanced homemade or raw food diet is also detrimental to your pet's health.

If you want to start adding fresh food to your dog's diet, try removing 25% of their kibble from the bowl and adding in ingredients like fresh finely chopped or steamed vegetables (such as broccoli, red cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potato, cucumber, etc), suitable fruit (such as apple, blueberries, raspberries or banana) and meats like liver, heart, kidney and ground beef, chicken, or turkey.

Adding 25% of fresh food to your dog's diet will absolutely make a big impact on their health. Every bit counts!
