October is National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month 💜 Rescues Are The Greatest Gift 💝 All of my dogs -- all Pugs, and we miss them all so much -- have been rescues. Let me put some fears to rest about adopting a rescue. According to statistics from Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters, animals are abandoned in two out of three cases BECAUSE OF HUMAN PROBLEMS -- not because something is wrong the pet; that is not why most pets are given up. It's rarely about the animals behavior. The most common causes of surrendering a pet to a shelter are, first, housing issues, then finances, the owner's death or illness, and only last, a poor pet-person connection. Please consider sharing a photo (or photos) and story of your sweet, beautiful rescue(s) with us on City Pets Vets FB page -- the direct link is in the comments directly below -- and tag us so we can share your love for each other on our social media. #NationalAdoptAShelterDogMonth #AnimalRescues #AnimalShelters #AdoptDontShop

Recognising World Stray Animal Day Cats are known for wandering, some have even been known to roam half a mile away from home on a regular basis. However, sometimes a cat might stray too far and get lost, or they may not have a home to go back to. So, what should you do if you find a stray cat? If the cat seems friendly enough to safely get them into a cat carrier yourself, take them to the nearest vets to get them scanned for a microchip in case they are just lost. You can also contact your local Cats Protection or a nearby animal shelter as they will be able to check to see if there are any matching reports of lost cats in the area and possibly scan the cat for a microchip. If the cat is just visiting you occasionally then a paper collar, with your contact details written on, is a great way to potentially find out if there is an owner.

For #PhilanthropyFriday we’re checking out Michigan Animal Rescue League 🐾 The Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) is one of southeast Michigan’s most established animal shelters, serving the community since 1953. Their history and experience combined with constant evaluation of trends in animal welfare and sheltering have made them a necessary and respected asset within the community. As, “A Different Breed of Shelter” they challenge the stereotypes of traditional animal shelters and believe that the, “Quality of the Wait,” can make all the difference in the future of an animal!❤️ The Mission of the Michigan Animal Rescue League is to provide the highest quality of life to dogs and cats through rescue, medical care, socialization and behavioral support, short- and long-term sanctuary, adoption, and community education and outreach. Adjusting to the shelter environment can be hard for dogs and cats. While MARL’s staff and volunteers make every effort to make their temporary home welcoming, the shelter is still often a place where dogs and cats find themselves confined in an unfamiliar environment, separated from their previous families, and exposed to much more noise than they’re used to. This is where MARL’a enrichment program comes in! Enrichment is a term that describes how shelter environments can be adjusted and enhanced to better benefit each animal. The goal of enrichment is to minimize stress levels by adding different kinds of stimulation and activities to each animal’s daily routine.

"Boys to Men" Growing up is one of the most exciting and challenging adventures in life. Every boy, as he grows older, learns new things, faces new challenges, and becomes stronger, wiser, and more understanding. This journey from being a boy to becoming a man is full of lessons, fun, and sometimes, difficulties. "Boys to Men" is a book about this special journey. It’s about five boys—Sam, Max, Leo, Ben, and Ollie—who are best friends. They live in a small town where they play, laugh, and learn together. As they grow up, they start to understand what it means to be responsible, brave, kind, and honest. Each chapter in this book tells a story about the boys and how they grow, learn, and become better people. The stories in this book are not just for boys. They are for everyone—parents, teachers, and even girls—who want to understand how boys think and feel as they grow up. The lessons these boys learn are important for all of us. They teach us about friendship, love, respect, and how to deal with difficult times.
