Do you live in Sarasota? Does your dog go for walks or do you have a back yard? Are you close to water? Do mosquitoes get into your home? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then your four legged loved one is at risk for Heartworm disease that mosquitos carry. Please call or at your next appointment ask about how to protect your pet.

Severe heat advisory in effect from Saturday, August 15th to Friday, August 21st. ☀️

Every year during the summer we see many pets succumb to heat stroke. It takes much less time than you think. Dogs cannot cool themselves in the same way we do making them very susceptible to heat illness.

Remember that early morning and evening hours aren’t necessarily a safe time either. During this time of year, the heat and humidity can remain dangerously high even after the sun starts to go down. 🌞

Dogs can develop life-threatening heat stroke from running or strenuous exercise, even in the morning or evening hours. Keep activity short, provide plenty of water, and watch your pet closely. 🌡️ 🥵

Spotlight your pups rescue story!!! 🐶

Every once in a while, a family comes through our doors that reminds us why this work matters.

These beautiful German Shepherd puppies arrived at our shelter alongside their mom after she was struck by a car. Despite her injuries, all she wanted to do was stay close to her babies and care for them. Watching her determination and devotion was nothing short of incredible.

Thanks to the actions of our medical team, the round-the-clock dedication of our puppy care team, and Mom's unwavering spirit, this little family made it through. Today, these stunning puppies are healthy, thriving, and ready to begin the next chapter of their lives.

German Shepherds are extraordinary dogs. They are loyal, highly intelligent, eager to learn, and deeply devoted to their families. They also need adopters who understand the breed's needs for training, mental stimulation, exercise, and companionship. These puppies deserve homes that will embrace both their incredible potential and the lifelong commitment that comes with it.

Please share this post to help these amazing puppies find the loving, knowledgeable homes they've been waiting for. If you are interested in adopting one please visit our website to complete an online adoption application and we will contact you to schedule an appointment to see them.
