While many people celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th, there’s another holiday that occurs on the same day: Pet Theft Awareness Day. Valentine’s Day sees an uptick, according to the organization Last Chance for Animals (LCA), of pet thefts.

On average, an estimated 2 millions pets are stolen every year, according to The National Association for Pet Sitters. In response, LCA in 1988, began their campaign to “raise awareness for the issues of pet theft and to educate the public about how to keep their companion animals safe from unscrupulous thieves.”

LCA provides useful information regarding pet safety and while we will hit the highlights you can review the entire site in more detail by clicking here. [Read more…] about Pet Theft Awareness Day

Unchain A Dog Month

by Leave a Comment

January is Unchain a Dog Month. Most of us have encountered dogs that are chained up outside. And it is particularly heartbreaking to see during the deepest freezes of winter and the hottest days of summer. And while some communities have ordinances against leaving pets outside in certain weather conditions, this doesn’t eliminate all situations where dogs are chained outside without shelter year round.

There are organizations that are making inroads to allow individuals to unchain their dogs. One of those is called Fences for Fido. [Read more…] about Unchain A Dog Month
