Our exceptionally handsome friend Stanlee is still looking for a new home! 😭 His humans are wonderful and have this to say about him:

“Stanlee is a 4.5 year old husky/shepard mix. Stanlee can stay home alone for up to 6 hours without accident as long as he is left to roam free. Stanlee does not do well in a crate or cage. He would require a fenced in yard as he is not the best at going potty on a leash. He is not a chewer and he is not a runner. Stanlee does best with frequent walks or time at doggy daycare to release his energy. Stanlee loves every dog he meets. He doesn’t mind cats but can be hesitant around them. Stanlee is currently prescribed Prozac which he takes each night before bed, due to his separation anxiety. He loves his people and will follow you everywhere. Stanlee would do best in a home with children 13 and older who understand how to give him space when he does not want to play. Younger children tend to make him nervous and stressed. He lives a very mellow and quiet life. He is a very independent guy who enjoys his space when his social battery runs out. Stanlee has the sweetest soul and just wants to be your best friend.”

Socializing your kitten is extremely important too!

Calling all kittens!! I am so excited to announce my first ever KITTEN KINDERGARTEN class! Did you know kittens have a socialization period of development just like puppies? This sensitive period is actually strongest between 2-7 weeks, but kittens are in their sensitive socialization phase up to about 15 weeks old. I'm accepting kittens up to 5 months old for class.

Go to amatterofmannersdogtraining.com/fancyfelines to register!

This is our opportunity to mold kitten brains into brave, confident, happy, well rounded adult cats. We want to carefully and positively introduce all kinds of novelty like body handling, new people, vet visits, car rides, carriers, and more!

In this 3 week introductory class, we will go over what is socialization, do socialization exercises together, begin basic training, learn more about your kittens, and create a strong bond with your new kitty.

Classes will be Mondays at 6:30pm mountain time, December 9th-23rd. Class is virtual, which means you can join from anywhere in the world!

It is getting dangerously cold outside, which means our unhoused neighbors and their pets need respite! Our Pet Pals Mutual Aid emergency shelter fund exists to provide hotel rooms for people and their pets on nights when the temps are unbearably low. Even if you can only spare a couple bucks it adds up and we appreciate it:

👉Donate money 💵 to our hotel and emergency fund: Please indicate "hotel fund" in the description
Donate via Pet Pals Mutual Aid
PayPal:
CashApp: $PetPalsMutualAid
Venmo: (PetPals-ATKT Brunch)
(you’ll see our friend Lisa Gizzi🙋🏼‍♀️ as holder of these accounts.)

This snow and cold can mean dangerous living conditions for our friends who are houseless and unable to go into shelters with their pets. We know everyone is tight around the holidays, but if you have a little to spare, your gift can go a long way in helping another as we build our hotel fund and offer a night or two of respite from the weather 💜💜💜

“Action is the antidote to despair”
Helping those in your immediate community is one of the best ways to channel your anger, anxiety and hurt. One of the ways we show up for our community is through Pet Pals Mutual Aid. We run a pet pantry in Ypsilanti and we ALWAYS need the following:
dry and canned cat food
dry and canned dog food
cat litter
flea/tick/heartworm preventative
Containers (cleaned and dried recyclables and gallon/jumbo sized zip locks)
Opened bag of dog food that your dog hates and Chewy says to “donate it?” We will take it! Have gently used collars, leashes, coats and booties? Let us take them off your hands! If you’re local and want to donate, we are happy to arrange pick up, or you can always send us stuff thru our list on the internet.

Urgent funds needed for a dog who was hit by a car! Pet Pals Mutual Aid is trying to raise funds for this guys medical care after an accident last night. Give if you can and remember that sharing is free!

UPDATE - This need has been met. Feeling better enough to be playful.

🐾This sweet boy is living in a tent with his people who choose to camp rather than give away their fur baby. He was hit by a car last night and his people are looking to raise money to get him the vet care he needs. Can you help? 🐾

Will update with a more exact amount as we know more, but we'd love to raise $500. (If we raise more than is needed we will use it the next time there is an emergency medical need.... we get lots of asks ) Venmo or CashAPP $PetPalsMA (On both Apps you'll see our friend Mary as the name, she is kind enough to hold our small mutual aid account)

02/09/2024

We are trying this one again! Last month was a bit of a bust after some poor planning. Our next event is next Monday, 9/9 at 1pm ET. This event will be recorded and sent out if you can’t join.

To celebrate the US Labor Day, we suggest giving to folks directly to make it easier to survive capitalism. To join just send a “receipt” of your participation in any mutual aid effort to Jane at [email protected].

See you then!!

Happy Birthday to Pet Pals Mutual Aid! We are so honored to be a part of this group (I think since 2021). We couldn't do this without all of the folks who have donated generously so thank you all for helping make it possible to get folks with pets the things they need. If you'd like to continue to support us you can donate (info in the post) or if you have pet things you'd like a new home for we'd be happy to arrange a pick up/drop off

Happy Birthday Pet Pals Mutual Aid! Four years ago in 2020, a few of us humans who love our companion animals, and who love other humans who love their companion animals, were all brought together by the wild idea that if someone encounters hard times, having to give up a beloved pet shouldn't have to be their only option. In fact, for many of us, those hard times are when we rely on our companion animals the most for comfort and unconditional love. 🥰
Pet Pals is a mutual aid effort for our human friends with companion animals and we welcome any and all who may be in need of assistance and/or community to keep their animals healthy, happy, safe and with full bellies.❤️
Want to help us celebrate and keep our mission going? Consider donating items to our pantry, or donate to our emergency and hotel fund to help us give respite or shelter to unhoused folks and their pets in times of dangerous and extreme weather. Reach out to us via Fb messenger, email: [email protected], or text/call: 734.347.7784 (Lisa)
Donations: No amount is too little. You can donate here: PayPal and Venmo-
CashApp-$PetPalsMA (you’ll see our friend Mary as holder of these accounts)
If you'd like a tax receipt, please message us and we'll give you details on how to donate for that. Also available on our website: https://www.petpalsmutualaid.com/

A client of ours has made the very tough choice of needing a new place for her dog due to some major life changes. Moonie is a doll and has a special place in our hearts. He can sometimes be nervous about things so will need a patient and preferably quiet home with adults only. Here is a write up about him:

"With much sadness, we are looking for a loving home for our sweet dog, Moonie. He is a very healthy, beautiful 5-year-old Australian Labradoodle, all black and weighing 26 pounds. He is active, alert, sensitive and has a lot of affection to give. He loves watching the squirrels, running around the dog park and playing fetch in our fenced yard. He also lives with a cat, Mia. He is an excellent watchdog and will bark when people approach the house. While Moonie enjoys cuddling up on the couch and loves to be gently pet and scratched behind his ears and on his chest, he can be overly sensitive to touch and may growl briefly if pet on his underside or while he is not looking. He is also an anxious dog and would therefore benefit from a calm home. Because of this, we recommend a home with older children only. Moonie will need a little time to get comfortable with his new people. If needed, we will cover the cost of further training when Moonie joins his new home. "

If you're interested in Moonie please message us and we can give their contact (serious inquiries only please)
