Even if our pets have thick fur, they can still feel the cold and get frostbitten, especially with snow still falling. For a while, they seem to be okay outside playing. But prolonged exposure to the cold can pose serious risks to their health.

You can let them out but they shouldn’t be out for more than 30 minutes. Not when the outside temperature is lower than 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Potty breaks are also advised to be kept short.

Those who leave their pets out in the cold for more than 30 minutes could face a $15,000 fine and 7 years in prison. That’s why it’s important to keep your pets inside your home. The best way to keep them happy is by providing them warmth and love during this cold season.

Elma Ling Hoffman is in her senior year as an art history and religious studies major. She met Pascal after a friend took her to the Center for Animal Rehabilitation and Education (CARE) in Waukesha, Wisconsin to get a dove for her birthday.

She got the idea of adopting a dove after seeing the four parakeets in the home of the kids where she tutors violin and foreign languages. Elma said, “When we play together, the parakeets sing along. So I was like, I’m a musician, I need a bird to accompany me.”

Not everyone prefers to have dogs or cats as household pets. Some prefer to be in the company of birds. If you’re one of these people and want to adopt one, you can visit the CARE website to see which birds are available for adoption.

It all started when a Chargers representative reached out about seeing how they could help Louis – a dog whose eyes were removed due to an eye infection. Louis also was hit by a car last January 2020 and was taken into the Helen Woodward Animal Center in December of the same year.

The Chargers then raised awareness for Louis’ adoption by sharing his story on all their social media accounts. That led to the partnership of the Chargers and the animals center. Now, the Chargers are appealing to the general public to adopt 12 of the pets at Helen Woodward.

Adoption fees and a Lazy Dog Pepper’s Pack will be covered and provided by both the NFL team and the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar for the first five families that will adopt these pets. Those who are interested in adopting must first request an appointment at animalcenter.org.

February is Pet Dental Health Month. It’s a reminder that our pets cannot brush their teeth and don’t carry toothbrushes with them wherever they go. It’s also our responsibility to do it for them at least twice a day.

Not taking care of your furry friend’s dental health puts them at risk of oral problems. Yellow teeth, stinky breath, or red gums are just some of them. 80% of dogs and 70% of cats will develop some form of oral disease by the age of three. That’s according to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS).

Here are the steps you follow to prevent pet oral problems: First, take your furry friend to the veterinarian for an examination and advice. Then, make sure your pet eats a clean and balanced diet.

Can Do Canines is a Minnesota-based non-profit. They have been making the quality of life for people with disabilities better for over a few years now since its inception in 1989. Among those they have helped is Bella Andrade, a senior in high school.

She was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy before her preschool years. “I relied a lot on my parents and my brother, who is amazing,” Bella said. But ever since Blaine, a service dog sent by Can Do Canines came, life has been very different for her.

Now, she feels confident and enabled to pursue her dreams. You can help Can Do Canines and people like Bella achieve more of their aspirations by taking part in the non-profit’s Can Do Canines Fetching Ball. It will be held on the 20th of February.

The Tiny Hooves Rescue and Petting Zoo hosted its annual animal-gram fundraiser for three years in a row now. The money raised will be used by the local rescue program for the upkeep of the petting zoo and to help more animals in need.

Shelby Michalewicz, who runs the non-profit, said, “A lot of times in the community if (people) find something they will take it to the animal shelter, but usually animal shelters aren’t equipped to take on exotic or livestock animals,” she added, “We wanted to be a source for the community for all the above that are not a cat or a dog.”

Thousands of National Guard Troops will be stationed in Washington D.C. for a whole month in the light of the recent Capitol Hill siege. For the 250 guardsmen staying at the Hamilton Hotel, their Valentine’s season just went from cold to wholesome.

This is because a DC nonprofit called People Animals Love brought 12 therapy dogs two weeks ago as a gesture of gratitude for the troop’s noble service for their country.

Joe Palminteri, the Hamilton Hotel director told GNN, “Seeing hardened military men and women, roll around on the ground with these amazing dogs, as if no one is watching, truly filled our souls with happiness and gratitude.”

Little is written about how the streams in Anchorage are having high levels of fecal coliform bacteria. The public trails are also said to be littered with dog poop and the diamonds in baseball parks have to be checked for fecal matter before children can play.

In addition to the poop issue, 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the US according to a World Health Organization (WHO) statistic. This prompted the Municipality of Anchorage to consider proposing amendments to Title 17, sections 17.05.010 and 17.10.010 of the municipal code.

If you live in Anchorage, it’s best to support the proposal. It will make the city a safer place to live in for humans and animals alike.
