84 horses, 84 families. ๐ Last month, we held our free horse clinic in rural Nicaragua, and the turnout was greater than we expected. These horses are not just animals; they are essential lifelines for many of the families we serve. Weโre committed to continuing this life-saving work, but we need your help. Please consider donating today. Together, we can change lives, one horse at a time. ๐๐ด๐ซ

Did you know: 60% of pets today are considered overweight or obese! ๐ฑ And as an actively practicing integrative vet, Dr. Zac sees the health consequences of excess weight on a pet every dayโobesity is one of the biggest risks to your petโs long-term comfort and well-being ๐ The good news? Weight is one of the few factors pet guardians have almost complete control over.
Today, on National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, weโre revealing 3 simple ways to prevent pet obesity:
1๏ธโฃ Work with your vet to calculate your petโs specific daily nutritional and caloric needs.
2๏ธโฃ Stick to scheduled meal times with pre-measured portion sizesโonce or twice daily meals are both safe options.
3๏ธโฃ Keep them active! ๐๐ Regular exercise is key for both cats and dogs regardless of age or weight.
Got questions? Drop them in the comments! Letโs keep our pets happy and as healthy as can be! ๐ช๐ถ๐ฑ

Meet Julieta, the niece of the shelter director at Fundacion Empaticas. Julietaโs smile says it all! Because she grew up being a part of the shelter, her love for animals is unmatched and she has a deep empathy for both animals and people. ๐
One day, she innocently asked her mom, "Why canโt we rescue every stray dog?" It was a tough moment when her mother had to explain that there are too many strays for one person or one shelter to save. But that moment also sparked something beautifulโJulietaโs dedication to helping her family rescue as many animals as they can. ๐พ๐ซ

When our shelter staff asked a young boy about the treatment of street animals, his response was heartbreaking: โThey mistreat them. They hit them, donโt feed them, and donโt care for themโjust because theyโre on the street, like we sometimes disregard a homeless person.โ
Weโre not crying, you are! ๐ญ How tragic is Pepeโs storyโa dog abandoned at our partner shelter, Fundacion Pacto Animal. He waited for days, hoping his owner would come back, but that day never came. Thankfully, our dedicated shelter staff took him in and showered him with love and care, helping him regain his trust in humans. Weโre holding onto hope that one day, heโll find a forever home. ๐
