We are working hard to get the feral cat population under control. I wish we could provide free services but at this time we cannot. But we can provide deeply discounted services!

Our clinic does surgery on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

We are happy to provide these services to anyone, not just rescues. Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you would like to schedule.

This is for TNR (Trap Neuter Release) purposes only, we will not rehome any cats. The cats that are brought to us for service will are required to be re-released back where they came from.

Debunking the Myth: Old Dogs Do Not Wander Off to Die Alone

As pet owners, we often hear stories or anecdotes about old dogs wandering off to die alone, leaving pet parents worried and perpetuating a widespread myth. However, it’s important to separate fact from fiction and shed light on the truth behind the notion.

1. Understanding the Aging Process:As dogs age, their physical and cognitive abilities can decline, affecting their senses of sight, smell, and hearing. While these changes may make them more susceptible to getting lost, it’s crucial to remember that their intention is not to wander off intentionally to find a place to die.
2. Potential Reasons for Wandering:Older dogs may be more prone to wander due to various reasons, including confusion, disorientation, impaired memory, or a decline in their ability to perceive familiar surroundings. They might become easily distracted, disoriented, or forgetful, leading them on unintentional journeys away from home.
3. Health Issues and Increased Vulnerability:Senior dogs may also develop health issues that contribute to their wanderlust. Conditions like cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) or age-related cognitive decline can cause disorientation and increase the likelihood of wandering. Additionally, underlying pain, discomfort, or anxiety can prompt them to seek relief or find solace in a different environment.
4. The Responsible Pet Owner’s Role:It’s important for pet owners to be vigilant and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of their aging companions.

a. Supervision and Restriction:Avoid leaving senior dogs unattended in potentially unsafe areas, such as unfenced yards, open spaces, or unfamiliar surroundings. Close supervision helps prevent accidental wandering and reduces the risk of dangerous situations.

b. Identification and Microchipping:Make sure your dog wears a collar with visible identification and a tag containing updated contact information. Additionally, consider having your pet microchipped, as it serves as a reliable form of identification if they ever go missing.

c. Regular Veterinary Check-Ups:Keep up with your dog’s routine vet visits to monitor their overall health, address any cognitive changes, and manage potential underlying conditions. Early detection and treatment can prevent or slow down cognitive decline and improve their quality of life.

d. Environmental Adaptation:Create a safe and comfortable environment for your senior dog. Minimize potential hazards, establish routine and familiarity within the home, and make necessary adaptations to accommodate their sensory and mobility needs.

1. The Importance of Early Intervention:If you notice any behavioral changes, signs of anxiety, confusion, or increasing mental decline in your senior dog, consult your veterinarian. They can provide guidance, recommend interventions, or suggest strategies to manage your dog’s condition effectively.

It’s essential to debunk the myth that old dogs wander off to die alone. Contrary to this notion, senior dogs may experience age-related changes in their senses and cognition, leading to unintentional wandering. As responsible pet owners, we should prioritize the safety and well-being of our aging companions through proper supervision, identification, veterinary care, and environmental adaptation. By dispelling this myth and spreading awareness, we can better care for our older dogs and ensure their twilight years are filled with love, security, and companionship. If your senior dog goes missing, an immediate and exhaustive physical search must be done to locate them.

♥️ Update: A HUGE thank you to Charlean who put her heart out there and is fostering Bella!! We can’t thank you enough!! This is so heartwarming!!

💔I was asked to make this post with hopes that someone could possibly foster this darling until the owners could take back over… I’m not at liberty to say what they are going thru but she said anyone is fine calling or texting her at 320.362.0813.

She is great with other dogs and kids. She is potty trained. She's never been in a kennel in her life but is so gentle and relaxed that she's never needed one. She's the ideal dog. She simply loves to love!

Please contact Kayla if you know anyone willing to foster. It might be anywhere from a week to a few months.

Please share!!
