Interview: Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary Founder, Doreen Jakubcak 🐶

In celebration of Adopt A Senior Pet Month in November, I’m re-posting my interview about Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary. Enjoy!

The month of November feels like the true holiday season has arrived! This month, we celebrate National Senior Pet Month and the ASPCA’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Senior pets are as gentle, loving, and loyal as any younger pet.

In celebration of all senior pets, I’m happy to share my interview with Founder and Director, Doreen Jakubcak. Out of love for Marty, a rescue dog who forever changed her life, Doreen created a wonderful and loving home for senior pets called Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary.

The month of November is the middle of the holiday season. It’s a month to honor our military veterans, give thanks, and promote animal awareness events.

November animal events celebrate shelter animals, senior pets, and pet awareness.

Volunteering For Pets 🐱 🦜 🐶

In a few weeks, it will be time to change the clocks again. Changing the time reminds me that the holiday season is right around the corner! It’s only October. But if you love shopping, you can find Black Friday and shop early for Christmas gifts in the stores this month.

I’m also thinking of other ways to make the holidays meaningful for my animal friends and pet parent community.

Holiday Fun: Doggy Campgrounds 🏕️

Dogs love the great outdoors! Pet parents and their furry pets can now enjoy the outdoors safely together. Try a doggy campground designed for canines and their human caregivers.

You won’t find a description of a doggy campground in Wikipedia, but these safe doggy spaces are popping up around the country.

Halloween Pet Safety 🎃

Halloween can be a fun time of the year! Pet parents love to dress up their furry friends in costumes of all kinds.

Your pets may want to wear outfits, but pet parents should be aware of some Halloween hazards…

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – September Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the September edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. Summer is over, but this month’s edition is a collection of my top 5 fave blogs for the summer season. Enjoy!

Mobile Veterinary Clinics Pros and Cons 🚚

In the United States alone, over 393.3 million are living in their forever homes. Worldwide, over 1.1 billion pets live with their pet families. Pets need veterinary care and mobile veterinary clinics are stepping up to fill the gap.

Mobile clinics give veterinarians the benefit of running a business. And pet parents everywhere are taking notice of alternatives to the traditional veterinary clinics as the only source for pet care.

Employee Benefit: Pet Adoption 🐱 🐶

Now that we’re back in the office, I still miss the office therapy dog, Rosie. It was fun to to visit our rescue dog, Rosie, a four-year-old Golden Retriever. Petting time with Rosie was the highlight of my day. We have virtual visits these days…it’s just not the same. But one company believes in the well being of its employees and offers an employee benefit for pet adoption!

September Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

September is a good month for cooler weather and promoting animal awareness events. September awareness events encourage pet adoptions for less-popular animals.

Supporters can use creative social media to help special needs pets gain attention. The month ends with a day to remember homeless animals around the world.
