Pet of the Week – Jack In The Box

Just a few days ago some kind-hearted animal lovers were driving on Route 104 West when they noticed a large box by the side of the road that seemed to be moving. It was one of these really cold days. They stopped to investigate and found Jack in the box. Get it? Lucky for Jack, they took him right to their vet and he was checked out and found to be perfectly healthy, but very thin.

Porky and Buddy Pet Health – ‘Therapy Animals’

I was in a grocery store the other day and a man came in with his dog on a leash. I love dogs, but I thought that was a little unusual, so I watched them. The dog was wearing a vest that said “Therapy animal – Please don’t pet me.” I know not to interfere with service dogs, so I just observed from a distance. To be honest, it was horrifying to watch.

Pet of the Week – Butterscotch

Butterscotch’s foster family has caught him several times underneath the Christmas tree, dreaming of his forever home. We need someone to make that dream come true. His foster mom has this to say about him: “What can I not say about Butterscotch? He is a wonderful, loving kitty who loves to give and receive love and kisses. Butterscotch is very affectionate, however he has to be an only fur baby in a furever home.”

Pet of the Week – Maria

Maria is a gorgeous Siamese/Tortie mix. You can see her unusual markings. She was the loving mother of the seven Von Trapp kittens, who have now all found their own homes, leaving her lonely and looking for someone else to adore. She spends hours lying on the office desk looking for (and getting) attention but she needs her own home and her own people to love her.

Porky and Buddy Pet Health – Leave Your Poor Poinsettia Plant Alone

We received an email the other day from the ASPCA about holiday dangers to be concerned about with pets. It had a lot of important information, but it also listed poinsettia plants as the third most frequent cause of calls to the ASPCA Poison Control Center. We’re here to tell you, leave your poor poinsettia plants alone and stop calling the poison control center about them!

Pet of the Week – Fred

Fred was rescued from under a trailer out in the country after his elderly owner had to go to a nursing home. You would think he had been a pampered house cat his whole life (well except for his bunged up ear, probably from being attacked by an animal or maybe frostbite.) He is a sturdy handsome Tuxedo who loves people, complete strangers even.
