We are finally feeling the sun and as most of you know, the warm weather brings fleas and ticks. Did you know that there are about 2,000 different types of fleas and 800 different variations of ticks found throughout the world? We have discussed the importance of prevention in the past, but we feel a bit more education on the topic could be beneficial. 

Have you ever had a disagreement with your very best friend or closest family member? Surely, we can all answer that question with a very quick “yes.” Especially in this time of a pandemic when we are all at home together with one another. The reality is, dogs are just like people and they experience these negative emotions too.

May 11th has been named “National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day.” How many of us are prepared for a disaster, and have made provisions for our pets as well? Regardless of your geographic location, there are steps that can be taken to be prepared should an emergency arise.

We are so excited to be celebrating “National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day!” and doing what we do best. Technically, we are a rescue, and not-so-much a shelter, but the fact of the matter is that we are all working together to solve the national problem of pet homelessness.

National Pet ID Week always begins on April 17th and runs for seven days. One of A Kind Pet Rescue was founded fifteen years ago due to a lost pet. This is clearly a topic that is very near and dear to our hearts, and why we require all our adopters to purchase an ID tag.

Almost daily, we are contacted by individuals saying, “We would like to rescue rather than purchase.” We are so appreciative of those individuals, as they truly understand the problem of pet homelessness and the great need to save so many companion animals.

These are very uncertain times, but One of A Kind Pet Rescue has been focusing on how to safely continue rescuing pets in the most need, while also finding them forever homes. The following changes have been established.

Urbanley was surrendered to One of A Kind Pet Rescue in June of 2018. The purpose of sharing Urbanley’s story is to showcase the incredible work that happens at One of A Kind Pet Rescue.

Having a pet is having a friend. For years, the Center for Disease Control has been stating the mental and physical health benefits associated with pet ownership.

Dogs truly are man’s best friends. However, friends must be compatible and enjoy one another’s company. Prior to looking for a suitable canine for your home, do your research.

Many households find that there is plenty of room in the heart and home for multiple pets. Sometimes, it may also be necessary to introduce pets to one another when households merge.

It is important that we care for the specific needs of our geriatric rescues properly. Just as humans develop various health problems as we age, our dog companions often do the same.

Are you aware that there is a “kitten season?” It is not defined by a specific date, but rather the activity of the cats in relation to the weather.

In most cases, house soiling can be treated, and your home can return to a peaceful place of refuge for both you and your cats.
