Bring Joy to Jingle & Jangle
Dec 20, 2021 It was a regular day at the shelter until evening came and the staff went to lock the Maddie’s® Cat Adoption Center’s doors. Right outside, there was a cat carrier sitting alone with nothing but a note. As the carrier was shaking violently, a staff member went closer to see what was scribbled across the napkin. It read, “Dog flea treatment. Poisonous. Seizures.” As she looked into the carrier she could see two tabby cats in crisis. The cats, later named Jingle and Jangle for the holiday season, were...

Watching Their Manners: How to Get Your Dog to Stop Begging
Does this scene sound familiar? You sit down at the table to eat and suddenly you sense that you’re being watched. You look down and your dog is right there, staring at you with those puppy dog eyes they know are so hard for you to resist.

You Want to Help Keep People and Pets Together. But How to Get Started?
People kept approaching Corena Huffman about giving up their pets. They couldn’t afford to feed them. They weren’t able to get them to the vet.

Corena thought there might be a better way: giving out pet food,...

Not All Pets’ Owners Have Cars. These Free Pet Ambulances Will Get Them to the Vet
For years, the nonprofit Lollypop Farm in Rochester, New York, has been transporting owned pets to the vet when their owners otherwise had no way to get them there. Until recently, they’ve been doing it on an ad hoc basis. A few months ago, the organization decided to make this an official service offered to the community. Funding comes out of the operations budget as part of the HOME program, a whole panel of services and resources to help keep pets and people together like a pet pantry and behavioral helpline. “This...
Chiropractic care for canine anxiety
We usually think of chiropractic care in terms of relieving pain in our dogs, but it can also have a positive effect on canine anxiety. Anxiety is your dog’s response to stress. Happiness, on the other hand, is not just a warm puppy, as the old saying goes – but a warm puppy with a normal nervous system. This article looks at how displacements in a dog’s vertebrae can affect his nervous system and contribute to anxiety; and also how chiropractic care can correct the problem. How does anxiety arise from vertebral...
