Residents of the Champlain Tower South are worried as demolition crews prepare to work on the still-standing portion of the building. Local officials reassure affected families that they have done their best and will continue to do so in the search of missing furry family members.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said, “I very much understand that pets are part of people’s families. My heart goes out to those who fear for their animals, and I just want you to know that additional efforts have been made and are being made.”

No new animals have been found as of now. But the search will continue as other pets may have been left behind in the panic of the evacuation.

Donkeys are often raised to help with farm work and transportation. Yet, a farm manager from the Isle of Sheppey discovered that interacting with donkeys can boost one’s confidence, communication skills, and reduce negative thoughts.

Angela Edwards from Halfway said that she got into animal-assisted therapy by accident. She was contacted last summer and was asked if she was interested in rehoming two donkeys. Which would later be known as Pedro and Poncho.

“The reason I’m now doing therapy sessions with Pedro and Poncho is because a friend tagged me in a Facebook post at the end of last year about a local man, called Andy Larkin, wanting to hug a donkey as part of his bucket list,” said Mrs. Edwards.

Thomasville residents have been facing a severe shortage of canine care supplies for a long time and the shortage has worsened since the start of the pandemic. Fortunately, Red Road Rescue, Inc., a Section 501(c)(3) rescue organization, was established last 2019 to deliver assistance, fostering, rescue, outreach, and transport to the dogs area and its surroundings.

The organization was created by Payne and her husband Johnny Bracey. Payne said, “Consequently, many dogs are abandoned, because pet owners can’t feed them. Usually when that happens Animal Control is called, and there’s a good chance the dogs will be euthanized. That’s the reason we started this. If we can help these people feed their dogs, and not abandon them, that’s the first step.”

Visit the link provided above for more information about Red Road Rescue. You can sign up at the website for adopting the rescue animals or for volunteering and fostering purposes. You can also donate through your credit, debit card, or PayPal through the “Donate” button found on the upper right corner.

Michael’s Angel Paws, a nonprofit, has given Zee, a fourteen-year-old boy from Las Vegas with autism his own and new service dog. Epi, a two-year-old Border Collie, will be Zee’s new partner in life. Zee was able to get Epi through the partnership of Findlay’s Subaru and Michael’s Angel Paws where the car company paid for the dog’s training and certification.

“They have like a schedule every day to go out, to go walk around the neighborhood. You know that really helped him [Zee] release some anxiety,” says Binh Lee, Zee’s father. Zee received Epi last Sunday, June 27, 2021, and has already improved not only the boy’s but also his family’s life.

It’s not a secret that most people who own dogs live happier lives. But how exactly does being a dog parent benefit one’s emotional and mental health? These are 3 reasons why you should get a dog for better living.

Decreases Anxiety – The presence of dogs helps people who are anxious feel relaxed. Even for those with chronic anxiety, a dog will keep its cool beside an anxious person to provide comfort until they’re able to collect themselves.

Lowers Stress – Aside from anxiety, dogs can also detect stress in humans. They smell increased levels of cortisol. Some dogs automatically go to handlers when they feel stressed and offer to be touched as a stress-reliever.

Reduces Loneliness – Leslie Sinn, DVM, DACVB, of Behavior Solutions, says “Dogs are social magnets. They can help anyone meet people, but they are especially helpful with people who have problems engaging with others.”

Jamaica is a Bernedoodle comfort dog. She is the newest addition to the Houston Independent School District Police Department’s (HISDPD) staff. Her job is to help students in the area foster a connection with the police officers.
