PETS AND FIREWORKS DON’T MIX. ❤️🐶💙
Please make sure that your contact information is current on your pets tags. Walk your fence perimeter and make sure there’s no places to escape. If you find a place and can’t fix it today, put them on a leash and take them out. We lose more animals on the 4th of July than any other day of the year because they get frightened.

Remembering the mother dogs left behind in the 10,000+ puppy mills across the United States. Virginia has proof that most of our pet stores that sell puppies purchase from puppy mills.

This happens in Virginia too often with our 20 pet stores who purchase their puppies from puppy mills. GOOD RESPONSIBLE BREEDERS DO NOT SELL TO PET STORES!!!!

One Lee County family wants everyone to think twice before taking a puppy home. Now, they're taking the store they got theirs from to court.

Puppy mill puppies stay with their mothers for 8 weeks before they are shipped to stores. This puppy has been living in a pet store cage at the Memphis Petland store for two months - perhaps longer than she was with her own mother. This is no way for a puppy to spend her formative early months, and one of the many reasons why puppies don't belong in pet stores!

I had the honor of spending time helping decorate a small part of the Pasadena Humane float in the Rose Bowl Parade this year bc of my good friend Dia Duvernet, Executive Director of Pasadena Humane. “Feed the Love” was their theme and what it honor it was to be involved.
Animal advocacy has so many ups and downs that go along with it, a lot of compassion fatigue, and heart ache for those of us that fight so hard but alsways feel like we will never catch up or move the ball down the field very far when it comes to progress. So New Years Day was a great day, as I watched my friend, and her rescue pup from VIRGINIA BEACH, ride in the Rose Bowl Parade !!!!!! ❤️🐶💙
