I kept telling Mom I wanted to go for a car ride with her. She finally took me! I was really excited until I realized it was to get my nails trimmed. I am never going anywhere with her again.

EVIE THE WONDER DOG 2 YEAR LABER-VERSARY!!
Evie the Wonder Dog, the 'apricot' colored little poodle, came to the Miami County Animal Shelter as a stray in 2022. She was old and blind so, luckily, Laber of Love took her in. She came to our home here two years ago today escorted by Joe Laber and Nicole Laber. Evie has made herself a ruling member of the Garrett animal family since then.
She has many pillows and beds to sleep on, even a lamb skin on the couch. Evie loves wrestling on the couch, beating up pillows, Jeep rides, extremely long nap times, any type of food, and of course bossing everyone around.
(She just recently spent a long weekend at the Labers while we were gone and made herself at home there, too.)
- Ed and Kristin Garrett, Fospice Parents

HUMANE EDUCATION BLOG!
Today’s topic is a sensitive subject, but it is one that we deal with on a weekly basis here at Laber of Love. We have to say no many, many times to pets in need at Shelters because we don’t have the funds or the foster homes for all the pets that need us. We also have to say no to individuals who have lost a family member and have nowhere for that family member’s pet to go. Unfortunately, we have to say no to these pets and stay true to our mission, which is dedicated to rescuing pets that have found themselves in Shelters at the end of their lives. We say no to rehoming requests because the person has started a new job, had kids, is moving, and has many other reasons. It is heartbreaking every time we have to say no for the sake of the pet; I would love to live in a world where we can say yes every time. Or better yet, a world where we are no longer needed. However, we currently live in a reality in the pet world where Shelters are overwhelmed. Rescues are overwhelmed.
What can be done? Everyone needs to take responsibility for their pets. They need to spay and neuter; this will stop the endless cycle of unwanted litters, unwanted kittens and puppies. Spaying or neutering a dog or cat is much less expensive than trying to feed and provide Vet care for a litter. It is less stress on a dog or cat than going through pregnancy, birth, and raising their young. It is much less stress on the humans too.
People also need to understand a pet is for life. Not until they move, until they have kids, until they get a new job, until they get married, or until the pet gets too old. When you adopt a pet, you are taking responsibility for a life. Please consider that responsibility and plan for it. I understand that extreme circumstances happen, but everyday life should not get in the way of the responsibility of pet ownership.
Owners also need to plan for what will happen to their pets after they pass away. Will a family member be there to take care of the pet? Will a trusted friend? We have seen so many times where a pet is left alone with no options, and it is heartbreaking to see every time. There are many ways plans for pets can be made along with the other planning that needs to be done. Below is an article that gives more information on how to plan for your pet’s future without you in it.
https://www.littlebuddies.org/petsfuture.htm
Please help the Shelter and Rescue community. You can do your part in keeping your pets safe, healthy and with you. Spay and neuter. End this cycle that we are currently in. We are overwhelmed, we are tired, and we cry over your unwanted pets. We cry every time we have to say no to a pet in need, but there is only so much that we can do. We have to be careful to not take on more than we can handle ourselves. We need your help.

MARCUS 2 YEAR LABER-VERSARY!!
“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling the emptiness we didn’t even know we had.” - Thom Jones
Marcus came to us when I was still healing from a massive medical trauma and surgeries. He’s been a gentle giant, offering encouragement in the form of snuggles every step of the way. Every day is brighter with him in it!
While he’s started to show his age more, Marcus still gets bursts of energy where he likes to show off how good he is at playing tug, fetching, and yodeling! It’s been an honor to be able to give him a lap to rest his head in (he IS a lap dog after all: don’t let his size fool you) while he adds a little more white to his muzzle.
He has never once met a stranger in his life. Every human, cat, or other critter he’s met has been a new friend in his eyes. His trust, affection, and optimism are as inspiring as it is infectious!
We are so incredibly thankful to Laber of Love for providing their rescue’s resources and trusting us to help with Marcus’s care. Every day with him is a joy. We look forward to every day we have with him, however long that may be.
- Ren, Fospice Parent

AMARA UPDATE!
Our sweet Amara gave us quite a scare last week. She was a very sick kitty; we were afraid we would have to make the decision to say goodbye very soon. However, we decided to give her some supportive care, anti-nausea medication, and change up her food a bit to give her a chance to have more time with her family.
Thankfully, what we are doing seems to be working! Amara is eating again and is back to being social with the family. Amara is again enjoying the view from her window. We will continue to do what we can to keep her happy and with her Fospice family for as long as we can thanks to our wonderful supporters!
