🐾 June is Foster a Pet Month! 🐾

Every year, thousands of animals in shelters wait for a second chance — and fostering can make all the difference! Opening your home (even temporarily) gives pets the love, comfort, and care they need while they wait for their forever families.

Not able to foster? You can still help by volunteering at your local animal shelter. Whether it’s walking dogs, socializing cats, helping with events, or donating supplies, every act of kindness matters.

Fair warning, though - sometimes those fosters turn in to "foster fails" - and we want to see yours! Show us the pets who came to stay temporarily and never left, and share your story of how that foster became family. 🐶🐱💕

Together, we can give shelter pets hope, healing, and happy futures.

Today is National Heat Awareness Day ☀️🐾
As temperatures rise, remember our pets feel the heat too! Keep fresh water available, avoid hot pavement, and never leave pets in parked cars.

Pay special attention if you have a brachycephalic dog like a pug, bulldog, or Boston terrier. Those adorable flat faces and short noses severely limit their ability to cool themselves by panting, making them particularly susceptible to heatstroke.

Signs of heatstroke in pets can include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, weakness, bright red gums, or collapse. If you notice these symptoms, move your pet to a cool area and contact your veterinarian right away. ❤️

With warmer weather and summer gatherings just around the corner, don’t forget to keep an eye on your furry family members during BBQs and festivities! 🐾

A fun backyard barbecue can quickly turn into an emergency if pets get into the wrong things. No matter how much they beg, avoid sharing people food — especially cooked bones, corn cobs, onions & garlic, chocolate, alcohol, and fatty meats or grease.

Other dangers include skewers and sharp utensils, hot grills and charcoal, heat exhaustion, open gates, and fireworks anxiety.

During your summer parties, remember to always keep fresh water available, remind guests not to feed table scraps, and create a safe shaded area away from the grill for your furry friend to relax.

Let’s keep every family member safe this summer — including the four-legged ones! 🐶🐱☀️

Happy National Rescue Dog Day! 🐾❤️

Here at CVH we have the privilege of seeing firsthand just how incredible rescue dogs truly are. These pets may come from difficult beginnings, but they often become the most loyal, loving, and resilient companions imaginable.

Every rescued dog deserves a safe home, compassionate care, and a second chance at happiness. Today, we celebrate the families who open their hearts to adoption, the shelters and rescue organizations working tirelessly every day, and of course — the amazing dogs who remind us what unconditional love looks like.

If you’ve adopted a rescue pup, share a photo or story in the comments — we’d love to celebrate them with you! 🐶✨

Check out the “Mocktail” litter from Fluvanna SPCA! CVH was honored to help welcome these little ones into the world via C-section after their mama, Shirley Temple, was brought to us in distress.

Now, six weeks later, these kittens are thriving! They're happy, healthy, and already stealing hearts everywhere they go.

Watching moments like this unfold is one of the many joys of veterinary medicine, and we’re grateful to play a part in giving patients like Shirley Temple and her kittens the care they need from their very first moments.
