Why I Volunteer for Pets in Need 🐱 🐶

This week, I’m celebrating my volunteer work for animal rescue groups. Two years ago this week, I leaped back into the world of volunteering. I’m continuing my work with a local animal rescue group, Bay State Animal Cooperative (BSAC) in the greater Boston area. After I get my round of vaccinations, I can also return to socializing rescue dogs for the Shultz’s Guest House, another local nonprofit.

Changing The World: Women Who Save Animals 👩🏽‍ 🐔 🐈 🐕

We close out Women’s History Month by recognizing some invisible heroines. This week, we celebrate women pioneers who help animals. Maybe they didn’t set out to change the world, but these women saved the lives of many animals, big and small.

Microchipping Can Save Your Pet’s Life 💻

My daily walks take me through a maze of different neighborhoods, including mansions, low-income and middle income homes. But I noticed some strange things in my neighborhood: An uptick in posters of missing pets.

It’s strange because I rarely see these posters. I noticed a poster for an orange cat named Paws, missing for a few weeks. Paws’ poster is stapled to many telephone poles around town

Senior and Special Needs Pet Tips ♿️

This week, I stopped to pet some on my favorite doggy friends, Stanley and Grace. Stanley is a tiny special needs Chihuahua and Grace is his seven-year-old Chihuahua sibling. When I see them in town, I always talk to there pet dad – he’s happy when I stop to pet his little pals.

Grace and Stanley remind me of Dr. Pet Mom’s mission: To create a pet parent community to encourage adoption of rescue and shelter animals. Adoption includes helping senior and special needs pets find their forever homes.
