Adopt a Senior Pet Month
Sat November 1, 2008 |
November is Adopt a Senior Pet month. There are many benefits of adoption an older pet. To name a few, their personality is already developed so there are no surprises. Senior pets may already be trained or house broken. A senior pet is more likely to be spayed or neutered than a new kitten. A senior pet may be a better pet for senior citizens than a new energetic puppy.
So give a wonderful animal another shot at a new life...adopt an older pet this month.

Spay Day USA
Thu February 26, 2009 |
| Thousands of puppies and kittens are born every hour in the United States; many will never find homes. Spaying and neutering of pets is a solution that we can all be a part of to help control pet over-population. If your pets are not spayed or neutered please set up an appointment with your vet today.

June is Adopt a Cat Month
Mon June 1, 2009 |
If you've ever considered adopting a cat, now is a good time. Did you know that according to The Berlin Longevity Institute, cats can add as much as 10 years to their owners lives. Picking up a cat has a nearly instantaneous calming effect on humans, causing blood pressure to drop and the heart rate to slow.
