Golden Falls in Love with Kittens
 

• Clara is a young golden with the unique privilege of being the center of her parents’ universe.

• At least, she was the center of the world until they brought home two new foster kittens.

• Surprisingly, instead of acting out, she simply followed in her parents’ footsteps and made the kittens the center of her world, and she’s a wonderful mom.

• Watch Clara’s maternal instincts kick in below!

Pet Safety Kit Essentials
^{& Where to Buy Them}

It’s common to be cautious and ensure your pet doesn’t get into too much trouble. Troublemaking is one of the best qualities of pets in general, but we need to ensure that they’re safe.

So, are you ready in the event that your dog or cat gets a little too deep into their mischief and winds up hurt? You could Google for an entire year and never come to a clear answer on what essential supplies you’d need.

So, we’ve compiled a concise list of pet safety items that all of you should have.

Plus, you should have them all in one place in the event of a minor (or major) emergency. Let’s take a look.

Remembering a Hero: Seuk Kim

• Seuk Kim, a man who dedicated his time to flying animals on the euthanasia list to homes and shelters where they could live freely, passed in the line of duty last week.

• His plane crashed in New York while transporting three dogs to a no-kill shelter, two of the dogs survived but Kim & one of his canine passengers did not.

• We typically share positive and uplifting news in this newsletter, but we thought it was important to spread awareness of this hero who had saved hundreds of animals’ lives and is no longer with us.

Dog in Mineshaft Rescued by Firefighters

A Californian dog strayed and fell down a 50-foot abandoned mine shaft before someone found him and alerted the authorities early in the morning last Thursday.

At nearly 4:00 am, firefighters were lowered into the pit and rescued the dog who was apparently a “very good sport.” This event is a reminder to those living in rural areas to be sure that abandoned mine shafts aren’t present or accessible to your dogs.

The area this dog lives, north of Sacramento, contains nearly 2,000 miles of abandoned mine shafts. This isn’t uncommon across the United States.

Paris Runways Close in Search of Loose Dog

Fortunately, she was rescued and brought back to her owner! Authorities say she was a little thirsty, but otherwise in very good health.
