Still crazy to me people like this exist

We are Heartbroken 💔 It saddens and upsets us that people have been BREAKING INTO our Laredo Animal Protective Society, located on Gonzalez St. The items stolen are of great value to our everyday operations. This includes our equipment, maintenance tools, and food for our shelter animals. LAPS has been an important part of Laredo for over 70 years and has never experienced this situation. We remind you, we are a NON PROFIT organization. We do not receive governmental assistance and rely solely on donations from the community.

Not only are these people stealing from our animals, but they are also stealing from our staff, volunteers, and our community members who have worked hard to earn and fundraise for our shelter! Our partner, Best Friends For Life, has also been affected by these break-ins. This situation affects the services we provide to our City of Laredo and Webb county. We humbly ask for monetary donations to replace the stolen equipment, items, and upgrade our security system and cameras.

We thank you all for your unconditional support of our beloved Animal Shelter 💕

✨REVIEW SPOTLIGHT✨

When we say we 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 our pet-care services, 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁. 🤝🏻

One of our mottos has always been, “We will treat our pets as if they were our own”. This applies to sticking to routines, following instructions, bonding with our clients, etc. We like our clients to be as detailed as they like, the more the better! 💖

So if you’re a “helicopter parent” or consider yourself a “control freak”, gives a try! You (and your pet) might just fall in-love. 😉

Pd. Did you know, when you leave us a review you get a 10% off your next service? 🤭 No expiration date! 🙌🏻

Hi online friends! I figured with all our new followers I'd introduce myself. 🤭

My name is Marlene and I am the person behind all things BTPS! In the pictures you can meet our CFO Diger + our CEO Brandy. 🐶✨ (Also the ones behind Pack Of The Wild 🏔️)

ABOUT US:
We are a small business committed to care for your pet when you're not around. Some of the services we have are: house-sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking and our ✨NEW✨ personalized services. 🐾
*We service most of Chicago-land but are closer to Norridge, Hardwood Heights and Elmwood Park! 🚕

ABOUT ME:
I’m a compassionate former vet-assistant focused on providing the best animal care possible. I bring medical knowledge from coursework in veterinary studies and from working at a vet clinic for 2+ years. I also have grooming and fostering experience. One of my passions is canine behavior, so I've attended different workshops and seminars to understand it all better!

Caring for your pet is not only our job but also our favorite thing to do! A wise person once said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” 💚

Love, Marlene 🐾🤍

I, Marlene, manage social media, bookings and interviews. My background is in veterinary clinics, boarding facilites, dog behavior workshops and dog training. Evelyn, is our trustworthy dog walker, dog sitter and home sitter, trained under me.

Many people argue that business and politics should never mix, I don't really consider the celebration of to be something political. It's humane.

Making sure Border-Town Pet Services is a safe space for everyone. Pets and humans included.

Happy . ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗
