The boyfriend and I dropped in at the Humane Society of Greater Nashua today. We had heard about the overwhelming number of adult cats there that need homes fast. Starting tomorrow, Friday, October 31st, adoption fees will be waived for cats aged 6 months and over. All cats are fixed and micro-chipped. Those fees ($50 for the fix, $14.99 for the micro chip) will not be waived, however, adoption fees are normally in the range of $50 to $100, so this is a great opportunity to bring a cat in need into your home for a low cost!
If you're not aware, Humane Society shelters are not "no-kill" shelters. Animals who are not adopted after a certain amount of time are euthanized.
We visited each room and interacted with every cat and kitten in the building. They are all so adorable and in need of good homes! The shelter is also in dire need of donations of food and cat litter. If you cannot adopt a cat, please consider donating!

I joined Mackay Veterinary Clinic in 2020. I’ve always had a huge love for animals, growing up around all sorts from fish right up to horses. I’m currently studying my Cert III, with plans to pursue my Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing late next year. Working as a vet nurse is a career I find extremely rewarding and getting to know all the wonderful little personalities is amazing. Most of all, I would have to say my favourite part of the job is seeing the look on the owners faces when they are reunited with their beautiful babies at the end of the day!
Being an amateur cyclist, my free time is split between riding, caring for our three boys and taking our dogs for swims in the local creeks and beaches! When time permits, we also love to get out riding dirt bikes and camping!

A kitten with horrifying burns to almost a third of its body has been dumped at Canberra's RSPCA.
RSPCA ACT is urging anyone with information about the white cat dumped on the shelter's doorstep just after 6pm on Thursday to come forward.
The animal, named Elsa by staff, was caged in a red crate with a pillow and covered by a towel.
CCTV footage shows a man and a woman leaving the kitten at the shelter and driving away in a sedan, which is believed to be white.
RSPCA ACT senior inspector Catherine Croatto has been able to speak with the man in the CCTV footage. He was seen on video with a female leaving the kitten in a crate outside the Weston Creek Shelter.
The kitten was allegedly found in the Stuart Flats area on Captain Cook Crescent in Griffith.
The owners of the kitten and how it sustained the injuries is still unknown.
It's not the first time a cat with severe injuries has been found by staff at the Weston Creek shelter, with a 10-week-old kitten abandoned in a nearby drain in February requiring a leg amputation.
One of nine five-week-old puppies found in a box in north Canberra in January was so badly beaten it had to be put down.
Chief executive Tammy Ven Dange said the kitten initially escaped the milk crate before staff could treat her.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't bring this story to the public any faster as the kitten escaped the milk crate when she first arrived," she said.
"Fortunately we were able to eventually catch her, and she is currently in stable condition under the care of our vet staff. She's currently going through a number of medical things to try and heal her body. She's certainly on a lot of pain medication."
Ms Ven Dange said she didn't know whether the kitten was accidently or deliberately burned.
She urged anyone who recognised the people in the video footage to come forward.
"We don't know if they're the finders or the owners but certainly our inspectors are looking for more information on this case so we can find out what happened to her," she said.
Despite the severity of the wounds, Elsa was expected to make a full recovery.
"You can tell because she's still purring," Ms Ven Dange said.
"We named her Elsa because she's a strong character and she's white just like the Frozen character.
"She's a beautiful animal. We'll re-home her once she's all better, that's for sure."
The white, domestic short-haired kitten is about six to nine months old and is not desexed. She was wearing a blue flea collar.
If anyone has information, contact RSPCA ACT inspectors on 0407 078 221.


Many, a nine-year-old American cocker spaniel, was a healthy little dog. But suddenly, his heart failed and after two heart attacks he died. His human left early and when he returned in the evening his family was afraid to break the news to him. By the time he got home, Many had already been buried near a park; He could not say goodbye to his partner and friend. Many pets end their days without a funeral service.
Now, Bye Bye Friend wants the pets to have a dignified farewell after the years they provided company to their humans. In fact, many people consider their pets part of the family.
In Mexico, pet ownership is on the rise and an increase in the adoption of companion animals – such as cats and dogs – was seen right in the middle of the pandemic. According to data from the National Council of Manufacturers of Balanced Foods and Animal Nutrition (Conafab), the production of pet food grew 7.2% in the last year. For Genaro Bernal, general director of Conafab, this is explained by the responsible ownership of dogs and cats.
Just as pet owners seek to give them specialized food, they also want to give them a proper goodbye when that sad moment arrives. “With more than 40 years of paying tribute to the lives of Mexican families, we have understood that when pets die they leave as a family. His role is more important every day, ”said Manuel Ramírez, CEO of J. García López and Bye Bye Friend.
The manager said in an interview with Business Insider Mexico that they took advantage of a market niche that was delegated to veterinarians; although this medical sector does not specialize in cremations or funerals.
The pain of families when losing a pet is, sometimes, comparable to the death of a person, said Ramírez in an interview with Business Insider Mexico. “In Mexico there was no place that honors these pets and offers a special farewell,” he said.
Although the funeral service and cremation for pets began in 2020 they already have more than 7,000 funeral plans for pets. In November alone, Bye Bye Friend —with facilities south of Mexico City— served 95 services, three a day. It even already has plans to expand to the center and west of the capital.
To serve this market niche, the J. García López funeral home bought a special oven for pets in which it invested $ 110,000. This one he got in Tampa, Florida. The cost of performing the basic funeral service is 4,800 pesos.
At the moment, their services are only available in Mexico City and include:

We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overeager in hot weather can spell danger, warn pet experts. Even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if overexposed to the heat, and heat stroke can be fatal if not treated promptly.
Take these simple precautions to help prevent your pet from overheating. And if you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, get help from your veterinarian immediately.
Made in the Shade
Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful to not over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.
Know the Warning Signs
Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. They can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees. Animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.
Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time (even with the windows open) which could lead to fatal heat stroke.
Make a Safe Splash
Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool (not all dogs are good swimmers). Introduce your pets to water gradually and make sure they wear flotation devices when on boats. Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from his fur, and try to keep your dog from drinking pool water, which contains chlorine and other chemicals that could cause stomach upset.
Giving your dog a lightweight summer haircut helps prevent overheating. Shave down to a one-inch length, never to the skin, so your dog still has some protection from the sun. Brushing cats more often than usual can prevent problems caused by excessive heat.
When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on hot cement or cobblestones. Being so close the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.
Commonly used flea and tick products, rodenticides (mouse and rat baits), and lawn and garden insecticides can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested, so keep them out of reach. When walking your dog, steer clear of areas that you suspect have been sprayed with insecticides or other chemicals. Keep citronella candles, oil products and insect coils out of pets’ reach as well.

We found a lost cat in our neighborhood that has been hanging around for a few weeks.
I took him yesterday to animal services and they are sure he had a home. His teeth look good and he neutered. All the vet could figure out is that he is male and neutered and looks about 4-7yrs from the look of his teeth. He is all black and very fluffy and very big eyes. I would say he is on the bigger side and he was very affectionate. He also has his front claws.
If anyone has any contacts in the Leaside area to share this that would be awesome.
Thank you so much for the help. Below is my number is anyone know this poor guy


It sure was fun and exciting having the puppies! Thanks to all of you that worked hard making their first 8 weeks of life awesome!!
Memorial Day weekend the puppies were all taken to the breeder to find their forever homes. We know where one of the puppies lives and we are happy to share this photo with you. He is now 13 weeks old and happy in his new home.
We are now three weeks old. We are walking, playing with each other and have had our first taste of puppy chow!! We are looking like puppies now & our personalities are developing!
The winning number is 8. Ella and the group of eight are doing well. We have 5 boys and 3 girls to spoil. All the puppies weighed in at 1.5 pounds this morning. Check back later for those pics you are awaiting!! Thanks again for sharing our experience with Ella and the puppies.
30 March 2017
At 4:56 am puppy number 8 was whelped! Ella and all the pups are doing well! Pups are nursing. Not sure if all the puppies have arrived or not. We’ll know shortly. Pictures to be posted once the humans have had a few winks of sleep. Dr. Brady wants to know if you know what famous horse was born today? Thanks for all of your thoughts and best wishes for Ella. The puppy choir is still singing but not as loudly.
At this writing it’s a little after 3:00 am. It’s not that we have insomnia yet! Ella has successfully whelped (birthed) 4 puppies. Ella is enjoying her ice cream to promote contractions, the puppy choir is singing nicely. Little ones are learning to nurse. Mom is having another contraction and about to deliver as I write. The human’s are having hot tea or coffee to help get us thru the late night / early morning. Puppy number 5 is on it’s way, so I have to get back to work helping Ella!!

June 14th, this past Tuesday morning, a small box was left at the front gates of Grand Pet Care Center... Inside the box was a 3 1/2 year old black and white Chihuahua named, Prancer.
No note was left behind or explanation on how she got there, but there she was. Prancer, at first was timid and afraid, not sure on exactly what her old owners had got herself into.
The Grand Pet Care Center Staff jumped to action. Prancer was immediately feed, watered, bathed and given a cushy dog bed to relax on - and boy is she a happy dog now!
Prancer needs a home, a home where she will feel accepted and part of the household. Prancer loves to give kisses, wags her tail a lot and wants to feel the security of a home again.

It was the fall of 1996 when a young man from local Orange County Boy Scout Troop 543 came to Grand Pet Care Center with a Doggie vision. The Scout requested the opportunity to build an outdoor park where Dogs of all shapes and sizes could run free and enjoy themselves some R&R while boarding at Grand Pet Care Center.
Build it and the Dogs will Come, was the Troop's motto - and that they did!
With a little financial help from GPCC and a lot of help from the Troops of 543, a large slab of parking lot was transformed into a grassy oasis that any Dog would be proud to run, play and of course relieve themselves on the token Doggie Park fire hydrant.

As well as stress awareness month, I have now realised it is pet month! Being a vet, I though I’d discuss a bit of pet care and also give you some cheeky offers on some cute pet stuff!
Firstly, I have two pets,Shirley Bassey and Jimmy Morrison. Both are rescue cats and both have completely different characters. Shirley was 6 weeks old when the RSPCA brought her in to my clinic. She had been kicked in the head and so this tiny 500g creature was blind and disorientated. I tried all night to nurse the poor thing with pain killers, anti-inflammatories, warmth and good nutriton. The next day during examinations, I couldn’t believe her sight had returned! I had to take her home! I remember plonking her down on my mum and dad’s kitchen floor saying, “I’ve got us a new cat” and that was that. I had to teach her how to eat. The only injury that remains is a lack of smell and she is a bit odd but that makes her character!
Jimmy was carried in to the clinic by some kids who said he’d been hanging round for a while. He had no microchip so I castrated him and gave him flea and worm treatment but he was petrified being in the clinic so I decided to foster him, which of course turned into owning him 🙂 he loves Shirley but she just doesn’t get it haha
On to your pets….My number one suggestion would be, do you research. If you are planning on getting a pet then read, read and read! The second thing I’d suggest is get pet health insurance! They do not have an nhs like we do so all their medical treatment will need to be paid for, and medicine costs money!
If you are planning on getting an exotic pet please, please research as these are the little guys that upset me most. They need so much care to get the husbandry correct and we see many health concerns if it is not.
The next thing I would say, especially for dogs is be the boss and socialise them like crazy! The amount of anxious dogs I see is insane! Sure it’s heightened in the clinic, but I see dogs who are noise phobic or scared of being left alone etc. Fear can become aggression but, if you take the time to introduce them to everything when they are young you should get a happy dog, not phased by much.
Lastly, learn first aid and prevenative care. Learn to brush their teeth from when they are babies, cut their nails and look down their ears etc. they are like little children, this all needs to be done. So many people dont realise this. If you do this it will prevent so many health issues and also when they come to us vets, they are so used to it it isn’t at all scary.

Not everyone who hopes for a sweet cat, gets one. Some are blessed with naughty cats. Sweet or naughty, every cat keeps their hooman entertained. Cats are always indulged in some or the other thing to make their lives interesting. At other times, they like to take naps. Cats are sorted and do not wasted their time at all.
Here are some cat hoomans who got troublemakers instead of a cute cat.
“My cat makes strange noises exactly at 7 pm every evening. I think he is trying to contact some distant friends. This scared me initially, but I am used to it now.”
When you leave your cats alone at home and this is what you come back to. “The party is not over yet. Can you come back later to clean this mess?”
“My cat really likes this chair and he did this to it. Now nobody else sits on this chair.”
“My cat and daughter really like to spend time painting together. I think the cat needs a bath now.”
“My cat doesn’t like messy places. He gives me this look till the time I don’t clean up my room. The stare really works.”
Even though these cats may be troublemakers, they never fail to bring a smile on their hooman’s face. It’s better to have a cat rather than spending your lives without them.
Since when did cats start doing this? Cats are becoming smarter by the day.
“My cat likes to collect all the useful things. He is a bit selective when it comes to collecting things.”
“Got this expensive bed for my cat, but he likes the empty box instead. Why do cats have such weird choices?”
Cats need to start speaking up and tell us what they really like. The cat hoomans are really tired of experimenting.
If you have a cat at home, do not leave your stuff like this. Or else you may send the day finding your cat.


About The Grooming Girls
I am married with two young boys and I love my family. I attended Nash Academy of Dog grooming in Lexington, Kentucky in 2001. I worked for a corporate salon for a few years and then left to groom for a veterinarian. I have 4 dogs that I treat like my family. Georgia is my boxer whom is my energetic one of the bunch. Amanda is my Weiner Dog whom I have had for 7 years and she is my snuggle buddy and my first dog I have ever owned. I have recently added two new friends to our family, Mrs. Sandy Paws and Mrs. Pattycake, both are basset hounds and I couldn’t be happier to have added them to the family.
I have had a love for animals my entire life and a passion for grooming dogs. Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to bring every form of outside life into our home as pets. I knew way back then I was going have some kind of career working with animals. It has always been a dream of mine to open up my own salon and now, with the support of our local community my dreams are finally coming true!
I attended Nash Academy of Dog Grooming in Lexington KY and graduated August 2015. Before attending Nash, I was a surgical assistant for 10 years. When my wife decided to open Grooming Girls, I started assisting her with simple tasks and eventually decided to leave the medical profession for a passion we both shared together. While I am still new to the grooming profession, my years of professional experience in a hospital setting has better prepared me for the skills in taking care of your pets. I am excited for my future at Grooming Girls.

We had a cat many years ago named Ruffles. Ruffles loved olives. He loved them to the point that he'd go banana's at the smell of them. But he wouldn't eat them, he'd like rub his face all over them. Weird cat, I know, you don't need to tell me.
Our next cat, Snickers had a thing for over mitts. If you put one on and came at her she'd got nuts and attack. It made for some fun nights when she was a kitten, not so fun if you were trying to cook though.
Chicklets has a thing too. It's tea towels and clothes.
We hang our tea towels on the stove handle and just as soon as they get hung, he's got them pulled down and is attacking. He'll run up the hall with it and he's still a pretty small kitten so most times the towel is bigger than he is.
Apparently he's been stealing them from my mom too, only these ones are going MIA. She's looked under the beds, in the closet, behind the couch....it's like Chicklets has eaten them.
I found a couple of them this morning, on the living room floor. I guess he's got a secret stash somewhere for the nighttime when we're all in bed and ignoring him.
I suspect sometime soon I'm going to stumble across the missing tea towels, in a heap, full of cat fur.
I love my kitten.


How to prepare pets for a long distance move
Get Your Free Estimate
"*" indicates required fields
Long distance relocations can be especially challenging for our pets. Unlike us, they don’t understand the reasons behind the upheaval, which can lead to stress and anxiety. Therefore, it’s crucial to prepare pets for a long distance move meticulously for their comfort and safety during the move. A well-planned move and the help of Choice Relocation minimize the stress on your pets. From understanding their unique needs to creating a comfortable travel environment, we will provide practical advice on various aspects. Let’s ensure that your pet’s journey to their new home is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Understanding your pet’s needs
Different pets have different needs, especially when it comes to moving. Dogs, for instance, might require frequent stops for exercise during a long car journey, while cats often prefer a quiet, undisturbed space. Birds and exotic pets may need special arrangements to maintain a consistent temperature and minimize stress. It’s also vital to consider the specific needs of elderly, sick, or anxiety-prone pets. They may need additional comfort measures or medical attention during the move. That’s why working with the best long distance movers Virginia has to offer is crucial. Planning for these unique requirements in advance will help ensure a safer and more comfortable experience for your pets.
Creating a comfortable environment when you prepare pets for a long distance move
This can include familiar items like their favorite toys, blankets, or even a piece of your clothing. These items provide a sense of familiarity and security in a changing environment. Additionally, ensuring that your pet’s travel carrier or crate is comfortable and secure is essential. This not only helps in keeping them calm but also ensures their safety during the journey. Remember, a comfortable pet is a calm pet, making the move easier for everyone involved.
Before embarking on a long journey with your pet, such as moving from Virginia to California, a thorough check-up with the vet is essential. This visit is also about ensuring your pet is fit for travel. During this check-up, discuss any concerns about your pet’s ability to handle the stress of moving. Your vet can offer advice specific to your pet’s health, age, and breed. This is also the time to update any vaccinations and obtain necessary health certificates. Many states and countries have specific health requirements for incoming pets, including up-to-date vaccinations and sometimes even quarantine periods. Your vet will provide the required health certificates that prove your pet’s fitness for travel. These documents are crucial, especially if you’re crossing state lines or traveling internationally. Don’t forget to ask about motion sickness medication or sedatives if your pet is prone to travel anxiety.
Training and behavior adjustments
For pets unfamiliar with travel, start crate training well in advance. The crate should be a safe, comfortable space, not a source of fear. Gradually increase the time your pet spends in the crate, and include short car trips if you’re traveling by vehicle. For pets already accustomed to a crate, ensure it’s the right size for a long journey. Dogs and cats should be able to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Practice commands and routines that will be helpful during travel, like going to the bathroom on command or calmly entering and exiting the crate. Lastly, maintain a calm demeanor. Pets pick up on our emotions, so your calmness can greatly reduce their stress.
Choosing the right mode of transport
When driving with pets, safety and comfort are key. When you prepare pets for a long distance move, start with a secure, well-ventilated carrier or harness. Plan for regular breaks every few hours for exercise and bathroom needs. Keep the car at a comfortable temperature and never leave your pet alone in a parked car. Familiar items like their blanket or toy can help soothe them. Lastly, keep water and a bowl accessible to ensure they stay hydrated.
Flying with pets requires understanding airline policies, which vary widely. Contact the airline in advance to understand their rules, including carrier dimensions and weight limits. Check if your pet can fly in the cabin or must travel in cargo. Furthermore, for pets in cargo, choose flights with minimal layovers and avoid extreme weather conditions. So, familiarize yourself with the pet cargo area’s conditions. Always label the carrier with your contact information and a photo of your pet.
Packing essentials when you prepare pets for a long distance move
There are certain essentials you should always keep near you when moving long distances with pets.
Pack these items to ensure your relocation goes by smoothly:
- Food for a few extra days beyond your travel time
- Feeding and water bowls, preferably collapsible
- Their favorite toys
- A comfortable blanket or bed
- Leash and collar with ID tags
- Waste bags
- A first-aid kit for pets
Keeping these items in a separate, easily accessible pet travel kit will make your journey smoother.
During the move – Keeping your pet secure and comfortable
When moving long distances, like moving from Virginia to Florida, use familiar items like their blanket or toy to create a comforting environment. If your pet is prone to anxiety, consider a pheromone diffuser or a calming collar. Regular breaks are important, especially for long car journeys. Allow your pet to stretch, have a bathroom break, and get some fresh air. Give them consistent attention and reassurance throughout the journey. If possible, maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to, like feeding and walking times, to provide a sense of normalcy. Ensure your pet wears a collar with ID tags and is microchipped with up-to-date contact information. This is crucial in case they get lost during the move.
Settling into the new home
Quickly establishing a new routine helps your pet adjust to their new environment. Stick to familiar feeding, walking, and playtimes. Explore the new area with them to build their confidence. Provide a dedicated space with their bed, toys, and food bowls. Familiar scents and objects can significantly ease the transition.
Monitoring health and behavior
Pay attention to your pet’s behavior and health as they settle in. Look for signs like changes in appetite, activity level, or sleeping patterns. These could indicate stress or health issues needing attention. Patience and extra care during this time will help your pet adapt smoothly to their new home.
These are the best ways to prepare pets for a long distance move
Moving doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal when you prepare pets for a long distance move. With thoughtful preparation and attention to your pet’s needs, you can ensure a smooth and safe relocation to your new home. Remember, the key to a successful long distance move, such as moving from Virginia to North Carolina, lies in understanding and catering to your pet’s specific requirements. From ensuring their health and safety with vet check-ups and appropriate travel arrangements to maintaining their comfort with familiar items and routines, every step you take makes a difference. The journey might be challenging, but with patience and care, your pet will adapt to the new environment.

" I ordered this based on an online ad.🙂 I had a senior cat who really disliked carriers and she was sick so I ordered it as a potentially less stressful way to take her to the vet. It was a huge hit. She was very calm instead of stressed and anxious. I won't go back to carriers ever again. Also it helps me cut my cats nail and give her medicines.

Notes From Rainbow Bridge
Click on image to enlarge.
by Beth Szillagyi
Category: Mainstream/Young Adult
Description: Rainbow Bridge, filled with warmth and sunshine, is the place where our pets go when their lives on earth are finished. There is plenty to do at the Bridge while they wait for their humans, and Chloe, a Samoyed dog in her former life, has been assigned to tell of her experiences by her boss, Big Dog. She meets many creatures, human and otherwise and also spends time volunteering and visiting the many areas of the Bridge, including the human and animal halls of fame that exist there. Her favorite pastime, however, is watching some of the many reunions that take place between humans and their pets. Typical of her breed and dogs in general, Chloe tells the story with canine wit, wisdom and whimsy.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals that were ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: They each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Dogs are creatures of instinct and, as such, their natural impulses can sometimes get the best of them. One of the most common issues that dog owners experience is their dog pulling on the leash. This can create a frustrating experience for the owner and lead to discomfort and injury for the dog.
The good news is that there is a solution: personalized dog harness. These harnesses are designed to discourage dogs from pulling while they are on a leash. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using a no pull harness for your dog, how they work, and some of the different types of harnesses that are available.
The first benefit of using a no pull harness is that it can prevent injury to your dog. When a dog pulls on a regular collar, the pressure from the collar can cause discomfort and even injury to the dog’s neck and throat. No pull harnesses are designed to distribute the pressure more evenly so that there is less strain on the dog’s neck. Additionally, some no pull harnesses are designed to prevent the dog from backing out of the harness, which can be a common issue with regular collars.
The second benefit of using a no pull harness is that it can make walks more comfortable and enjoyable for both you and your dog. When a dog is pulling on a leash, it can create a stressful and unenjoyable experience for the owner. With a no pull harness, the dog will be less likely to pull, making the walk more relaxed and enjoyable for both of you.
So how do no pull harnesses work? There are a few different designs, but most no pull harnesses work by applying pressure to specific points on the dog’s body when they pull on the leash. This pressure encourages the dog to slow down or stop pulling altogether. Some no pull harnesses also have a front-clip option that allows the owner to attach the leash to the front of the harness which can help with controlling the dog’s direction.
There are a few different types of no pull harnesses that you can choose from. One type is the front-clip harness which we mentioned earlier. This harness has a loop on the front that the leash clips onto. This design helps to redirect the dog’s attention and discourage pulling.
Another type of no pull harness is the head harness. This harness fits around the dog’s head like a muzzle and uses gentle pressure to discourage pulling. This type of harness is particularly useful for dogs that are difficult to control.
Finally, there is the back-clip harness. This harness has a ring on the top of the dog’s back where the leash clips onto. This type of harness is the least effective at stopping pulling but it does distribute the pressure more evenly than a regular collar.
If you have a dog that pulls on their leash, a no pull harness can be a great solution. Not only do no pull harnesses prevent injury to your dog, but they can also make walks more comfortable and enjoyable for both you and your furry friend. When choosing a no pull harness, there are several options available including front-clip, head, and back-clip harnesses. With the right no pull harness, you can enjoy stress-free walks with your dog, and they can enjoy the outdoors without any discomfort or injury.


Shelter dogs are usually confinded to kennels for long periods of time. When TSC first began to work with our Town's homeless dogs, we had the use of the TONH shelter garage to provide space for exercise and training. As good as that was, wouldn't it be so much nicer if the dogs could stretch their legs and burn off energy in an outdoor yard? A spacious, paved area next to the shelter was safely fenced in using TSC funds giving the dogs a chance to chase tennis balls and stretch out under the blue sky and sun.
Next came a generous donation of agility equipment and the real fun began. Working with TSC's professional dog trainer, volunteers learned how to teach our dogs agility training. Going over hurdles, through the tunnel, over the ramp and on the table, we keep our shelter dogs' minds and bodies active while they await a forever home.

You love your pet more than anything, and now that you’re getting a divorce, you want to make sure you’re the one who takes your pet home with you. In some relationships, that’s an easy decision. Maybe you purchased the pet and your husband never wanted it. Maybe your wife bought a pet and decided she didn’t bond with it, or you bonded with it more than she did. Maybe you have more time than your spouse to care for a pet, so he or she thinks it’s a good idea for you to keep it.
When it comes to the law, pets are the same as any other property you need to divide in a divorce. The difference is that your pet is a living creature, and that can make it harder for you to decide what should happen.
Today, couples have fewer children than in the past, and pets may even take their place completely. Custody issues revolving around pets are certainly not uncommon, even though pet custody rights aren’t generally considered by the courts. Instead, the courts want to see the animal placed with the person who can best provide for it. It wants to see the dog, cat or other pet go to a loving home.
Things the court may consider include who takes the pet to a veterinarian, who buys food and toys, who plays with the pet or spends more time with it and who owned the pet first, if applicable.
If you’re struggling with custody issues regarding your pet, you can work with your attorney to negotiate with your spouse. Our website has more information about asset division and how it could impact you.

Dogs are man's best friends, and they can fill your life and apartment with joy. Unlike many believe, size isn't the main factor to consider when choosing the right dog for your apartment.
Instead, pay attention to important features like temperament, low-energy count, and bark levels, which can make all the difference from one species to another.
Here are some top breeds you can pick from to fill your apartment with all the goodness only pets can provide.
The Yorkshire Terriers might be a little yappy at times, but they can be excellent apartment dogs with proper training and early socialisation. With an average weight of a little over 3kg, they are tiny enough to train indoors. They only shed lightly, making them excellent for people with allergies.
This breed was born to be just the perfect lapdog. Their glossy and smooth fur that matches its friendly nature may be just right for your apartment.
The Chihuahua's most significant appeal is its very low body weight (weighing just about 2kgs). This makes them easy to carry around and means that they require only a little exercise. However, they are also known to be yappy, hence would require some training.
Although their name sounds like something out of Game Of Thrones, they are actually one of the best house pets. Often thought of as high maintenance and high energy, greyhounds are, in fact, the opposite as they only require a daily walk and are calm pets, perfect for your small apartment.
The Toy or miniature poodles are perfect for your small apartments. Their much larger relatives might be too big, so these are a great fit. This sought-after breed will bring flair and is a pleasant addition to any apartment! It is incredibly clever, easy to train, and requires the odd stroll!
The much loved and quite popular home dogs, and what's not to love? This beautiful home pet has a friendly demeanour, a beautiful fur coat, and easy to care for. They love playing fetch too!
Never mind their appearance, these dogs rarely bark and are pleasant and cheery, preferring to spend their days napping and are very good with kids despite their huge size compared to most of the others on this list.
This breed has a distinctly looking royal-like fur that doesn't shed, hence perfect for apartment living. They are very friendly and love a lot of attention, so it's advisable only to get them if you have time to spare.
Another one that's just perfect because of their small size, they can be affectionate and friendly but are also reserved and peaceful while indoors. They would require daily walks to stay happy.
Famous for being very friendly with kids and other dogs, this breed is cheerful and small enough to suit your apartment. Also known as the "sausage dog", they need only small amounts of exercise. However, they have a reputation for being difficult to train.
The Toy Fox Terrier is a clever, easy-to-train dog that is the right size for even the tiniest living spaces. These dogs are instantly endearing and protective of their families.
Always ready for a snuggle, this friendly breed is loved by all. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel enjoys making new acquaintances, and they are an excellent apartment breed that prefers to spend most of their time indoors. They weigh only about 5-8kg.
Beautiful balls of fur and very friendly, these small doggies hardly shed and are great for small apartments. They usually weigh between 3-5kg and require daily walks.
The Basenji is a reasonably calm dog, making them ideal if you have neighbours nearby. They are, however, notoriously tough to train and are not appropriate for inexperienced dog owners. Aside from their obstinate temperament, these dogs provide love and attention to their family!
The pug! This dog divides opinion, but the modest pug is a fun and loyal dog. Pugs are a friendly breed, so they perform best in a home with another dog or lots of human interaction. The pug is pleased to sit in their bed and watch the world go by, making him the ideal apartment companion.
The 15 breeds mentioned above are the best and most ideal apartment dogs.
Regardless of your concerns — size, allergy issues, fitness, grooming, training, skin shedding, fun and friendly nature, loyalty, security, etc.— we are confident that you can find one or more dogs to choose from on this list.
We hope this article has been beneficial in your search for an apartment dog. Cheers to happier times!
