Pet Care Monthly Message
November 2009 Monthly Message
Two very important events are taking place in November. The first is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, November 1 – 7. The Humane Society of the United States is sponsoring this national week to honor and show appreciation for all the dedicated staff of shelters across the country. Learn more about how you can get involved with local shelters and help more animals find forever homes.
Another big event this month is National Adopt a Senior Pet month. While puppies and kittens are cute, they also require a special effort that senior pets do not need. Adopting a senior can be rewarding for everyone involved. Ask your local shelter if they are running any specials on senior pets this month. Most are very willing to work with you and will make special deals to help these deserving animals find homes.
Finally, don’t forget that the holidays bring special safety concerns for your pets. North Shore Animal League America would like to offer some tips to help keep your pets safe this holiday – and to keep the “Happy” in Thanksgiving!
Be kind to animals,
