What a nice way to start the year! Our first two gift card donations came in during December, and I just now figured this out! I don't know who did this, but we thank you both so, so much! $35 off our first food order for the year 🐶🥰

We have a Mastiff coming to us who is a senior and on joint supplements. I've been spending my morning looking into what food will be quality and within our budget and which joint supplements would be best.

I found this great article (link in comments) from Cornell College of Vet med explaining what ingredients do what for joint health. Then began comparing ingredients and price.

Some list ingredients pet chew and others per bottle. Math is involved. It's time consuming. I'll make a blog that's easy to read and help you see my final analysis without having to do it yourself, at least between those I checked!

Reading ingredients is important but for those on strict budgets, like rescues and many pet homes, taking some time to do some math and comparisons will save you money in the long run.

Runt, aka pretty girl, is looking for a home 🏡. She LOVES pets and will ask for them but she takes time to warm up to ppl. She would probably do best as an only cat as one of the resident cats stresses her out.

We are dog ppl her but couldn't resist breaking that face out of shelter where she was decling quickly. So, we think she would warm up to ppl faster without other cats in the home. She is still stressed being in her current foster home because she and one of the cats do not get along.

We would love an adopter or even a foster to acoop her up! We have tried moving her to a different room by herself but she does want the human attention and decided under the master bed is her spot regardless of the riff raff she has to deal with there.

Ps. She will steal your water so she doesn't have to go to the water bowl... 🤷‍♀️

Lyle, Gremlin, and Nacho are enjoying some time in the sun 🌞 in their newly built-by-me yard!

Nacho should be in adult only home as he doesn't like to share his human.

Lyle will need a home with 13 plus to ensure noone gets knocked over or nipped when he plays. He can get overstimulated and is working on not using his mouth to play.

The size of your home or yard doesn't matter! It's how you cate for your dog. You can live in a studio apartment with no yard with a mastiff or dane and be a better home then a fenced in home owner. Giving your dogs proper exercise, enrichment, vaccines and preventives and living inside is more important.
