🌟🐾 June is Adopt a Cat Month! 🐾🌟

Calling all cat lovers! Starting June 1st, we celebrate National Adopt A Cat Month – a special time dedicated to finding loving homes for our furry feline friends. This heartwarming tradition began in 1972, thanks to the American Humane Association's efforts to promote cat adoption and spread awareness about the millions of cats in shelters waiting for a forever home.

Cats make wonderful companions, and adopting one helps reduce the number of stray and homeless cats. So, why not consider bringing a new member into your family this June? Give a deserving cat a forever home and experience the joy they bring! 🏡❤️🐱

Ready to add a furry friend to your family? It's National Adopt A Cat Month, the perfect time to give a loving home to a shelter cat in need!

Hi everyone! 🐾

I'm currently fostering a sweet Mama cat and her four adorable kittens. They're friendly, affectionate, playful, and love to purr! These cuties are looking for loving homes and would be thrilled to be adopted in pairs. They are around 10 weeks old and are midway through their vaccinations.

The Humane Society of Loudoun County will cover the cost of their spay/neuter and the completion of their vaccinations as part of the adoption fee. They will need to be seen by a HSLC partner veterinarian for their ongoing care.

If you're interested in giving these precious cats a forever home, please apply through HSLC 🐾❤️

🚨 What to Do If Your Pet Drinks Toilet Water? 🚨

Uh-oh! Did your furry friend take a sip from the toilet? Don’t panic! Here’s what you should do:

Stay Calm: It’s important not to panic. Your pet might not be in immediate danger.

Check for Cleaners: Make sure there were no harmful cleaning chemicals in the toilet. If there were, contact your vet immediately.

Observe Your Pet: Watch for any signs of discomfort, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.

Fresh Water: Provide plenty of clean, fresh water to help flush out any potential contaminants.

Call the Vet: When in doubt, a quick call to your vet can provide peace of mind and further instructions.

Keep the toilet lid closed to prevent future incidents! 💧🐾

Toilet bowls harbor bacteria and can contain toxic chemicals left over from household cleaners—which pose a danger to our pets. In this article, our experts explain why it's unsafe for pets to drink from the toilet bowl, and how to stop this behavior.

Keep them indoors: Protect your pet's sensitive eyes by keeping them indoors during the eclipse.

Upper Marlboro MD -Needs foster and RESCUE.

‼️Urgent Bethany must have adopter or rescue commitment by 12pm and must leave the building by 6pm on Wednesday, 3/20 or she is at risk of euthanasia‼️

***Deaf Dogs Rock is offering a $250 rescue sponsorship to a reputable foster based 501c3 rescue to pull Bethany (screened and approved by the shelter), get her into a safe foster home, finish all her vetting and match her with a loving forever home.

Bethany A545368 is a is a 3yo, 77lbs, white with dilute black spots “Dogo Argentino”. Bethany was found as a stray and came to the Prince George’s County Animal shelter (3750 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro, MD) on 2/20/2024. Bethany is currently an intact female, but the shelter will spay her for $125 ($100 for spay, $25 for pain meds and cone) if she is adopted. On “Woof Wednesdays”, Bethany’s adoption and spay fee is reduced to only $50. If you are interested in meeting Bethany, apply to adopt at the Prince George’s County Animal Shelter by going in person during business hours or calling an adoption counselor at 301-780-7200. If you
[email protected]’t ready to add a permanent family member to your home, Bethany would love to go to a foster home until her forever family finds her. Apply to foster by emailing [email protected]

Bethany is a beautiful girl who reminds me more of a dalmatian mix than a dogo (big fan of both breeds so irrelevant distinction here!). Bethany has the good fortune of being Deaf, which is helpful in the shelter because she is one of the few dogs who are able to sleep soundly and truly relax in her kennel. Bethany pulls hard on the leash but it’s understandable, she’s ready for her walk, and once I put her in a harness style leash she walks much better. Bethany takes treats gently and is not jumpy in our interaction. She seemed to prefer a longer walk over playtime with toys, so that’s what we did. Bethany was friendly and tolerant when meeting another young male dog and allowed him to jump on her without getting offended and even returned some of his offers for play! Adopt Bethany, and have a best friend for life! Apply to foster by emailing [email protected]
