We were out at a friend’s place last weekend, when I took this video from my Canon IS2000 digital camera. She was probably stocking up for the summer to feed her litter that was just born, and will need hard foods in the next 30 days! Squirrels mate in the winter, breed in the spring and it takes between 6-8 weeks for the little squirrels to open their eyes apparently! After that .. it’s squirrels everywhere

I call this: Stocking Up For The Summer

I worked for a large retail chain dealing in live animals and pet supplies as my first job out of high school. At the time, I thought it would be the perfect job for a young pet lover eager to make money while introducing people to the joys of pet ownership. As it turned out, this was not the case. While pet supply stores that don’t sell live animals tend to be fairly pleasant work environments for people who thrive on customer contact and keeping a store neat and tidy, stores selling live pets aren’t a great employment choice for people who love pets.

Without naming names and while keeping things mostly light-hearted, I’d like to poke a little fun at my expectations (and the expectations of most newly hired pet store employees) by comparing them to the realities of working at a pet store. More →

Mena 174689

Mena is a lucky 9 month old spayed female who was found as a stray in the dead of winter. She was suffering from frostbite– so bad her toes caused her extreme pain. She needed help! Mena was attended to by our veterinary staff and sent to a foster home to begin her recovery. She has done really, really well in her foster home; she is so affectionate and loves being with people. She is best in a home without other pets and one with older children. Mena is very stressed out here in the shelter so we hope to adopt her from her foster home. Mena takes some time to warm up to new people & situations; her adopter will have to be patient with her as she adjusts. For more information please call 982-2035.

Taz 092654

Taz has had too many homes and is in need of his forever home. Taz is such a smart boy! He knows sit, lie down, come and shake a paw; he can even say “I love you”! You will fall in love with this amazing fellow as soon as you meet him. We think Taz would do best in a home with children 12+. As with all dogs, we recommend any potential adopters bring their resident dog(s) in for an introduction before adopting. Taz has been with us since April, he would love to be home in time to enjoy this beautiful weather!
