November 2022 – Dr. Pet Mom

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – November Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the November edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month’s edition celebrates the holiday season. I wrote my Quilting For Rescue Pets blog about the small kennel quilts I sew for homeless pets. These quilts fit pet carriers for cats and small dogs living in shelters and rescues.

I reached out to interview the staff and volunteers from four rescue groups. This edition is a round up of my Holiday Heroes Interviews to spotlight these wonderful people dedicated to helping homeless animals. Enjoy!

Pets For Life in Pet Service Deserts 🐱 🐶 🐇 🦜

Have you ever heard of a pet service desert? It’s a community where services for pets are not available or affordable. Families in pet service deserts live in low-income areas. But the Humane Society of the US (HSUS) Pets For Life (PFL) program is working to close the gap in pet wellness services.

Throughout the holiday season, be happy and thankful for your daily abundance and send best wishes to those in need.

PAWS Act (Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers): Help for America’s Veterans 🎖️

America’s veterans deserve all the best services we can give them. Many veterans served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Gulf War or the Vietnam War. But between 11% and 30% veterans (more women than men) suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Celebrating Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November 🥳

The holiday season is a time of celebration. I’m happy to celebrate Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November to help senior pets find their new families.

“To create a pet parent community to encourage adoption of rescue and shelter animals. We want to help pets find their forever homes.”

My mission statement keeps me focused on helping animals. Many shelter and rescue animals are senior pets all looking for a furrever home.
