Good evening, everyone! I am excited to announce that new business cards, along with a few other things, for Lunar Pet Sitters are on their way!
I have a new design for my business cards that I hope you all love as much as I do. I went with this because I needed it to represent our “mascot” Zeus who is featured in the cover photo.
A little backstory of “Why Zeus”
I was working for an animal shelter in Ohio from 2020-2021 roughly 8 months I was in Ohio. Unfortunately this wasn’t a “no kill” shelter and I struggled with that aspect a lot and having to watch a lot go on in the shelter. Anyway, I was leaving Ohio to come back to Salida Colorado to be closer to my family and it was my very last week in the shelter before leaving when Zues was owner surrendered. His owner was a military man and being transferred to a state where the breed that Zeus was, was unfortunately illegal for he had a small percentage of wolf in him. So his owner had believed that it was best to surrender him. Zeus was very well trained, on walks he would stick to my side and pay no other animal attention, he was very well mannered and behaved, he was also an all around amazing cuddle bug. I would go into his kennel and I’d sit on the ground and he would immediately come over and sit right on my lap and he was just so content. It’s easy to say that I quickly fell in love with him but I couldn’t adopt him due to having to move into an apartment with other dogs as soon as I got back home. The entire staff of the shelter including those I worked closely with had led me to beileve he would be put up for adoption and I asked almost every day about it. Sadly on the last day of work I overheard some of my coworkers discussing his euthanasia and how it was planned for the following morning, upon hearing this I went to the managers to ask if it was true and it was. That day I went home and I couldn’t stop crying, I felt like I was completely useless. I ended up calling my mom and telling her what was happening all because of Zeus being part wolf, she then told me I needed to save him. That night I went to bed with a plan and I woke up at 6am, called the shelter knowing someone would be there to answer the phone and I asked them to give me two hours to call places in Colorado that would be willing to keep him at their facility until I had a place of my own that I’d be able to have him there with me and they agreed. So at 4am Colorado time I called place after place leaving voicemails and reaching out to every place I could find and I did it, I finally found a place who said they would take him in, even offered me a job, so I immediately called the shelter back and that’s when I was told the devastating news that they had already euthanized him. They already had before I called at 6am, they lied to me thinking I wouldn’t find a place and making me have hope that I could save him. And I know that this is a very long story and a very sad story but it’s dogs like Zeus that made me be the person I am today with not only dogs but also cats and other animals. No matter the breed they all deserve a chance at love and a life full of happiness.
