Justice got his.....

This week's highlight is Justice!   He got his chance when Mutt Love Rescue rescued him at the last minute!

It is a sad thought to think of what might have happened to Justice had Mutt Love not stepped in to save him. Justice was pulled from the euthanasia room at the last minute .... He came from a shelter where his breed does not usually walk out alive. He was a staff favorite and they did everything they could to make sure he survived because he was so sweet. He was an owner surrender in a county where his breed is banned and when he was taken to the shelter, they were told he was hit by a car. The shelter did not believe the story so it hard to say what really happened to his leg. Justice is a wonderful and sweet, fun loving young dog. He loves everyone he meets and gets along well with other dogs. He is a lover and a cuddler, though he does have a lot of puppy energy - being about 7 or 8 months. Justice had the surgery he needed on his leg and once his recovery period is over, he will be as good as new.

Fireworks Frighten Some of our Furry Friends!

There's a short and helpful article on Dogster that provides some tips for comforting our frightened furry friends when loud fireworks erupt throughout the night!   Check it out:

Tips from the Dogster webite

Beware of fireworks. Fireworks are no blast for some pets, with many dogs becoming easily frightened by their deafening roar. The best option is to leave your dog indoors (not leashed in the yard) during the holiday weekend in a safe, secure, escape-proof room of the house with comfy bed, food and water. Also consider leaving a TV or radio on to drown out the sound of the fireworks and to provide familiar noises while you’re out.
Give them a den. Provide anxiety-prone pets give a crate to hide in, if they’re already crate trained. Cover this den with a towel for added security.
Be a comfort. Speak calmly to your dog and offer soft massage. TLC goes a long way in easing anxiety. Some dogs also get less anxious when they can have treats, but don’t overdo it.
Confirm your pet’s collar and I.D. information. Dogs can become easily frightened by loud celebrations on the 4th of July. Make sure yours is wearing a properly fitted collar with correct identification and tags just in case he or she becomes scared and runs away from home. Micro-chipping also is a great precaution to make it easier for your pooch to be returned home safely and promptly.
Be careful with 4th of July decorations. Remember that your pet may easily mistake your red, white and blue decorations and glow sticks as chew toys. Make sure to pet-proof your home and keep fun decorations out of paw’s reach.
Think about a vet visit. If you know that your dog is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4th for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
