Walking your pet every day greatly benefits both your health and your pet’s. But pet owners of Geneva are going the extra mile by going for a walk to help the Anderson Humane. Overall, the humane cares for over 7,000 animals.

4,000 of them are homeless dogs and cats while the other 3,000 are orphaned and injured wild animals. Greg Mucha of Anderson Humane said, “We’re able to rescue, rehab and re-release animals into the wild.”

But they still need a lot of support, especially with one of their programs that helps veterans avail therapy dogs. If you’re interested in supporting the Anderson shelter or just want to adopt a pet, you can do so by visiting their website through this link.

Youngker High School teacher, Marie Buquicchio, along with students in the afterschool club, ‘Hands 4 Paws’, has come up with an idea to dye their hairs as a fundraising effort to help a disabled veteran get their own service dog.

“Of the participants, one is my son, one is a veteran, one is a substitute teacher and one is an ESS compliance officer. They are my victims cough cough, my volunteers,” said Buquicchio. The condition is that if the volunteers are able to raise $500, they are given the privilege to dye their hair.

‘Hands 4 Paws’ is a student-run afterschool club and it regularly raises money for animals. But this time, they want to help some humans as well. Once they’re able to raise about $30,000 – the price for a service dog, they’re hoping to announce the lucky veteran who’ll receive the pup on April 23, 2022.

The Supreme Court has ruled that Pennsylvania judges can now allow witnesses to be accompanied by comfort dogs when testifying in court during criminal trials. This decision started when a witness with autism used an emotional support dog to take a stand in a murder trial.

This ruling comes with a condition: The animal must not interfere with the defendant’s right to a fair trial. There are defense attorneys that argue that having a dog beside a witness can make the jury sympathetic to the testifying person and creating a prejudice against the defendant.

One strategy that counters this argument is to hide the dog on the witness stand during the trial. This was done during a Chester County murder case and has proven that the use of comfort dogs does not influence a jury’s decision.

Pennsylvania now joins Maryland, Michigan, Virginia, and Connecticut as one of the states that permits the use of comfort dogs in their courtrooms.

We all know that dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and even Llamas make good therapy animal candidates. But did you know that goats can also provide us with therapeutic benefits? In the case of Heleene Green, she has always loved goats since she was young and saw the healing powers capric animals could give just by companionship.

She even embraced the moniker of “goat girl” during her younger years. A regular visitor of Heleene and her parent’s 12-acre farm said, “They [the goats] bring back a joy that we just don’t have today. When you come to watch the goats play, it’s just a relief from the crazy world we live in.”

To visit Heleene’s goats for a therapy session, find Green’s Friendship Acres in Vernon, Wisconsin, or contact them on Facebook for directions and advanced bookings.

Ashleigh and Tayla Gilson have both loved animals ever since they were children. Tayla became a vet nurse and also had working experience in the pet supply industry. This made her and Ashleigh the perfect duo of starting a backyard online store.

“Now, with Covid-19, I’ve noticed people like to shop online and want the option for contactless deliveries. We’re planning to be open at local markets and events as well and a delivery service around Bundaberg to get us going,” said Ashleigh.

From their store, All Fur Pets, you can talk to the twins for advice on your furry friend’s wellbeing. They also have all the things you’ll need for pet care. Their inventory ranges from enrichment toys and specialist food to medications. Visit the Gilson sisters’ site for more details.

Fighting fire is already challenging enough as a fireman. It’s even more difficult when we’re talking about massive infernos like wildfires. Fortunately, the crews who’ve been keeping the California fires at bay are receiving massive emotional and mental health support.

Although not in the form of crowds cheering from the streets, the firefighters receive their spiritual boost as they were graced by the presence of therapy dogs. Kevin Brown, a crewmember that has been on the frontline for 11 days said, “The moment we pull into the SCU base camp, Micah was waiting for us. It was the perfect thing that we needed to get us that disconnect from all of that hard work and revamp us before we were about to start a whole ‘nother level of work on a brand new fire.”

Witnesses and victims of crime or domestic violence suffer traumatizing experiences that mostly change their lives for the worst. This is evident during a talk with a legal counsel in an office or when one makes a testimony in court.

Not only that but even the staff of a legal institution are also at risk of stress and anxieties due to the nature of their work. That’s why the victim-witness unit of Marietta, Georgia’s District Attorney’s Office worked hard to make Rose, a 3-year-old Black Lab, part of their team.

Unit Director, Kimberly McCoy, said, “The level of stress and anxiety that victims of domestic violence experience is drastically reduced with the introduction of assistance animals.” Despite the long process to acquire Rose, the staff of the Marietta DA is very excited to welcome her.

A lot of Santa Barbara County residents adopted furry friends from local animal shelters as a result of NBC’s “Clear the Shelters” campaign. The campaign, which is a one-month event, helped 55 pets find their forever homes.

It started on August 23, 2021, and ended on September 20, 2021. Thirty dogs, seventeen cats, six rabbits, one guinea pig, and one rooster were adopted. The animals came from the Santa Barbara County Animal Services Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP), Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter (BUNS), Santa Barbara Humane – Santa Maria Campus, Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society, and Dog Adoption and Welfare Group (DAWG).

If you didn’t get the chance to adopt a pet during the one-month campaign, you can still contact the Santa Barbara County Animal Services’ website for inquiries.

One good thing about the pandemic is that it helped save a lot of animals from rescues and shelters because a lot of us were in need of a companion during the lockdowns. But now we’re going back to our pre-pandemic life, a lot of pets adopted due to the pandemic are now being returned to the shelters of where they came from.

“You have a full-time job, a social life, you can leave home and still be foster, volunteer, or adopt a pet. When we get back to normal, we shouldn’t stop thinking that people can engage in this,” said Jennifer Schluter from the Municipal Care and Management of Animals in Chicago.

If you can afford to care for and feed your adopted pets, it might be best to get a nanny for them. If you’re struggling to keep your companion animal well-fed, you can ask for help from pet pantries. Choosing to stand by your decision to give an animal a forever home is a huge help to other fur babies because this allows other shelters to house new rescues.
