Lost your recent
adoptee or foster dog?
Newly adopted dogs and foster dogs may be shy, fearful, or stressed by the changes in their lives and are at high risk for running away.

Here are three tips to bring them home

Appeal to their sense of smell
Put out scent articles such as the dog’s bed, crate, toys, and clothing from the person most bonded with the dog. If the dog is not yet bonded with you, ask the shelter, rescue, or previous foster to provide items. Place the scent articles somewhere safe along with strong-smelling food and water.

Spread the word
Distribute flyers and use intersection signs to alert passing motorists. Post on social media and the Pet FBI database. Contact your dog’s shelter or rescue.

Do NOT chase
Instruct everyone helping you to NOT call, whistle, approach, or pursue your dog. If you see your dog, immediately sit down and toss a few tasty treats out around you. Be patient and speak softly or not at all. It may take a few minutes or a few hours, but your dog might approach you.

Dogs lost from a new home or foster home generally do not travel far and may hunker down for a day or two before creeping out to the spot from which they went missing. Be patient and don’t give up! For more suggestions, please read the complete article on our website.

Six tips to keep our pets safe during this busy season:


Avoid Hazardous Foods
On the "naughty list": chocolate, alcohol, grapes, raisins, and other holiday treats. Limit table scraps. Stick to pet-friendly treats.

Secure Decorations
Use pet-safe ornaments. Secure trees to prevent tipping. Tinsel can be harmful if swallowed. Hide electrical cords. Never leave lit candles unattended.

Mindful with Plants
Keep toxic holly, mistletoe and poinsettias away from pets.

Provide a Safe Space
Create a quiet area for pets to retreat and relax. Keep pets indoors during New Year's Eve fireworks or other loud events.

Secure Fencing and Gates
Check doors, fences, and gates to be sure they are secure.

ID is Key
Make sure your pet is wearing an ID tag and their microchip registration is up to date.

🎃 Halloween is right around the corner! Here are some tips to keep your pet safe:
1. ID and Microchipping: Ensure your pet has a collar with an ID tag and a microchip with up-to-date info.
2. Watch the Door: When handing out candy, be mindful that your pet doesn't dart out the door.
3. Secure the Candy: Keep those treats out of your pet's reach. Chocolate, xylitol, and other candy ingredients can be toxic.
4. Decorations Awareness: Keep decorations, candles, and jack-o'-lanterns out of your pet's reach.
5. Costume Consideration: If you plan to dress up your pet, make sure the costume is comfortable, doesn't restrict their movement, and doesn't have small parts they could chew on or swallow.

Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️
