🚨 We Need Your Help! 🚨

Friends and rescue partners, we are overrun with puppies and need your support! 🐾 We currently have 63 puppies in the building, and they desperately need foster or adoptive homes. Here's the breakdown:

🐶 3 moms with 21 puppies who would thrive in foster homes.
🐾 42 puppies available for adoption or foster (in groups of 2-3).

We want to get these moms and puppies out of MAS for two main reasons:
1️⃣ Health: Puppies have delicate immune systems and are highly susceptible to getting sick in our care.
2️⃣ Socialization: Puppies need vital socialization at this age to learn important behaviors for a happy future.

💛 How you can help:

If you’re looking to adopt, please start here and give one of these pups their forever home.
If you have time to foster, consider picking up a mom and her puppies or a few pups in need of a foster mom for a few weeks.
Together, we can help these little ones find the love and happiness they deserve! 💕 🐕

📍 Stop by MAS to meet them or email us for more information: [email protected]. Let's make a difference!

It's going to take a miracle at this point for there "not" to be snow Friday.

Lots of (snowy) ground to cover so here we go.

This is an unusual event for a few reasons. Lets cover those first.

#1 - Its cold in the south. Like REAL cold. That's not the norm for one of these events. Normally, we're warmer than normal and waiting on that cold air to arrive as the rain is exiting (just happened days ago). THIS time? Its cold ... staying cold ... and going to still be cold. Now we just need some water. More on that in a moment.

#2 - Those models we always talk about? The weather models? They've actually been in (relatively) close agreement on things for a few days now. Normally, they like to argue and give different solutions to the weather question. This time, they've stayed pretty much in-step with one another (with some small discrepancies).

So what's the real issue here?

Well, we've established its already cold. That part of the equation is set. Next is "where's the water going?"

We're expecting a low-pressure cell to kick out of Texas moving east. This is going to begin scooping up water from the Gulf of Mexico and throwing that snow-fuel our way. It's known as PWAT (Precipitable Water). It forecasts where the fuel for the event is going to be. Which leads to the critical question: WHERE EXACTLY WILL IT TRACK?

That bit of forecasting - update by update - has changed a little each time (which is totally normal).

And those bit-by-bit changes adjust the forecast on "how much" snow will fall and "where". And thats exactly what everyone wants to know.

So - lets get to it.

A) Will it snow? and

😎 How much is coming?

So heres my answer with all the data I've got to work with. Keep in mind I'm now a full time Financial Advisor who works hard with a talented team investing for our beloved clients.

But I love weather too and y'all know I love you so based on all the information available as of now here we go.

A) Will it snow? Yes. Everyone even close to Memphis is going to see some snow fall on Friday. It's possible some begins to fall late Thursday night, but more likely it begins to arrive between midnight and 4am Friday morning. Then its going to continue for a while Friday, likely ending Friday afternoon/evening.

😎 How much will fall? As always ... this is going to depend on where you live. It looks like more than a dusting everywhere. In fact, I've kinda kept quiet about it because the totals have been so dramatic for days that I didn't want to post them. ((If you tell people there could be between 1" and 7" of snow? All they hear is Charlie Brown's teacher say "wah wah, wah wah wah 7 INCHES OF SNOW".)) So knowing we'll still some tweaks to that path of water, let's go ahead and make some predictions.

I think Memphis has the potential for 3-4+" of snow (5" isn't out of reach). That's a lot for us. And it's going to have a pretty decent impact if it happens that way. (I'm one of those who hopes it does).

I think north Mississippi sees more than everyone else. Unless new data changes between now and Thursday, every model run has kept the lion's share of water tracking across north MS (which would lead to higher snowfall totals).

I think we'll see our Winter Storm Watch upgraded Thursday (at the latest) to a Winter Storm Warning (which means, hey folks: stay home and off the roads).

I think schools will be out Friday and that a lot of businesses will close as well. And I think it will be so cold this weekend ... and judging from our past experiences ... that I wouldn't be surprised to see school closed Monday (or longer?) as well. That will depend on roads.

Temps stay so cold into this weekend (and really next week) that it's going to be hard for this stuff to really disappear .... and with overnight lows falling back into the 20's? Whatever melts will have a strong chance at just becoming ice by morning time.

So there you have it.

I'll leave you with this. I've been forecasting Memphis weather for over 25 years now and our snow forecasts are NOTORIOUS for changing their plans at the last minute. (I'll try to update this one Wednesday or Thursday if some new crazy data comes in.)

But as of right now? This is what I would plan on.

Stay safe ... STAY WARM ... and if I get my wish?

We'll all get to build a snowmane this weekend.

Please be kind to opossums. Many of them find a cozy place to combat the cold. So many we see are missing parts of tails, ears and toes due to previous frost bite-- and your garage or porch may be the only place they have. Opossums won’t hurt anything-- promise-- and shooing them out may be certain death due to lack of shelter. They are Northern America’s ONLY marsupial. And these precious souls eat fleas, ticks and other pests.
Please. This holiday season. Be kind. Be the change you wish to see in the world

Keep Your Pets Safe This Winter! 🐾❄️

Memphis, as the cold weather rolls in, here are some tips to protect your furry friends:

🐕 Provide Shelter: Ensure outdoor pets have a warm, insulated shelter off the ground with dry bedding like straw or hay.
🧥 Bundle Up: Short-haired pets? A cozy sweater or coat can help during walks.
🐾 Paw Care: Check paws for ice, salt, or cracks. Use pet-safe paw balm for protection.
💧 Fresh Water: Prevent freezing by using heated bowls or refreshing often.
🍖 Nutrition: Cold weather may mean your pet needs a little more food for energy.
🏠 Limit Outdoor Time: Keep outings brief during extreme cold.
🔎 Watch for Discomfort: Shivering, whining, or reluctance to go outside are signs your pet may be too cold.
❌ Antifreeze Caution: Clean up spills—it's toxic to pets!

📞 Consult Your Vet: For breed-specific or health concerns, reach out to your veterinarian.

Let’s keep all our pets safe, warm, and happy this season! ❤️

🚨 URGENT: Emergency Winter Fosters Needed! 🚨

The temperatures are dropping faster than we anticipated, and we need your help NOW. With 92 animals in our care, we desperately need emergency fosters to bring our outdoor dogs inside where they can stay warm and safe during this frigid weather.

If you’ve fostered for us before, please contact us immediately by phone or email. If you’re new to fostering, don’t worry—it’s simple and lifesaving. You won’t need to introduce the dog to any other pets in your home. All we ask is that you:
🐾 Provide food and water
🐾 Walk them as needed
🐾 Keep them warm and safe indoors

Every space counts. Every warm home matters.

📞 Call us today or email to help these dogs get through this cold spell.

Let’s come together and get these babies inside out of the cold.

Could your dog's behavior be a sign of illness? 🐾

With so many dogs🐶 and cats🐱 struggling with behavior issues, many pet parents turn to behavior medications.💊 However, underlying physical health problems, like pain or illness, can contribute to these issues.

Studies show that up to 83% of dogs referred to veterinary behaviorists have an undiagnosed physical issue. Research found that 73% of dogs with excessive licking behavior had an underlying GI disease, and dogs with atopic dermatitis are more likely to have behavior problems. And it’s not just dogs — research has shown that 38% of cats seen by a behaviorist for urine marking also had a physical problem.

This highlights an important point: behavior issues in pets are often more complex than we realize.

Today, on a Saturday edition of the Inside Scoop we're tackling this crucial topic with Dr. Lisa Radosta, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist. In this episode we're discussing the often-misunderstood world of behavior medications and answering key questions like:

🐶 How do you know if your pet needs medication for behavioral issues?

💊 When should you reach for meds, supplements, or diet changes?

📆 What risks should you consider when using behavior meds long-term?

🌿 How effective are supplements for managing behavior problems?

Tune in today at 12pm EST to find out the potential benefits of behavior meds or questioning whether they’re the right choice for your pet. We’ll also cover the complex factors that influence behavior, from genetics to life experiences, and how they intersect with treatment options.

Comment SCOOPERS and I'll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. All live podcasts are recorded and available to watch later. You’ll also be able to watch over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and more!

Remember no one is arguing the need for sterilization, it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy achieve the same goal but leave important hormones intact according to science.

"The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract
Objective - To determine if gonadectomy in dogs is associated with the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CrCLD) and to quantify the magnitude of the association.

Study design - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sample population - Comparative studies with gonadectomized and entire dogs, with CrCLD as an outcome measure.

Methods - A systematic search of the primary and gray literature was performed. The effect size of the outcome measure was defined as the OR and 95% CI. Subgroup analysis was performed with s*x, breed, and age at gonadectomy. A pooled OR (95% CI) was generated from meta-analysis of relevant studies. Certainty in the body of evidence was rated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Results - The literature search yielded 1398 results and 24 relevant studies were included for synthesis. Gonadectomized female (pooled OR = 2.293, 95% CI = 1.768–2.945) and male (pooled OR = 2.117, 95% CI = 1.665–2.691) dogs were both at increased odds of developing CrCLD in comparison with entire female and male dogs, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that gonadectomy at 1 year or less was consistently associated with an increase in odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes. Overall certainty in the evidence was rated as moderate. All included studies were observational and no controlled trials were available.

Conclusion - In data with moderate certainty, gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes, particularly in dogs gonadectomized at 1 year of age or less.

Clinical significance - This study provides an estimate of the true effect size of gonadectomy on the odds of developing CrCLD, which may be useful for clinical decision making surrounding gonadectomy and the timing of gonadectomy."
