Three Puppies From The Same Litter Need To Find A Home

Three puppies from the same litter need to find a home. Ruth, Darla and Carlton are out Mutt Monday dogs this week and they are available at Pet Pal Animal Shelter.

In the beginning of June, Pet Pal pulled a litter of eight, 2 week old puppies from Pinellas County Animal Services. After our foster pawrents bottle fed them and gave them a lot of tlc (including treating them for ringworm) they have all been adopted except Ruth, Darla and Carlton.

Come visit them when the shelter opens on Tuesday at 11am. Due to their breed, you must own your home to adopt these 9 week old Pit mixes.

National Pet Fire Safety Day Top 3 Tips. Thanks to the National Kennel Club and ADT Security, Since 2009, July 15th every year is National Pet Fire Safety Day. Gotta keep those fur babies safe, right?

Yea, the Dalmatian is sort of a Firefighter Hero, but sometimes our pets can be the culprits too. But, not on purpose. Dalmatians actually started as Carriage Dogs, and helped keep horses calm and in line by trotting alongside. But, if you leave a steak on the counter above the stove controls and puppy jumps up and turns a knob, poof. We got a problem. Also good to know and have a pet fire safety plan to evacuate our pets in any and every emergency.

Our cook tops are the #1 cause when it comes to pets according to the NFPA. They can get curious or playful when a suspected treat, or cat crosses the top. Electric wires can be chewed on too. That can cause a few sparks. Yep, our sweet little Pets cause more than 1,000 fires in homes every year in the US.

Best way. Be prepared. Have an extra leash on or near pet carrier. We have extras in our truck. Make sure your pet is ID'd with chips and collars when possible.

Same as your "baby on board" but for your pets at home. Alerts any emergency personnel or others to "pets" inside. Recommended on all sides of dwelling. More than 40,000 pets die every year in house fires. Just a little heads up prevention can save pet lives too.
