We never want to say goodbye , but when the time comes, it’s good to know who to call to give your pet the gift of not suffering in the end. 💙

Keep them safe, keep them home ♥️

It doesn't have to be a hot day. A 70-degree afternoon feels mild to you. Inside a parked car with the windows cracked, it reaches 89 in ten minutes.

Your dog starts closer to the danger line than you do. Her normal body temperature is already 101. She cools herself almost entirely by panting — pulling air across her tongue. When the air inside the car is hotter than her body, the system stops working. There's nothing left to cool with.

Cracking the windows changes the interior temperature by less than four degrees. The glass traps heat faster than the gap releases it.

🐾 The rule:

- Above 65 degrees — the dog stays home. Not in the car with water. Not with the windows cracked. Not with the engine running. Home.

The ten minutes you planned is the twenty minutes you actually take. She doesn't have the difference 🐾

🌳 🐶 Give a Shelter Dog a Summer Vacation!

The weather is warming up, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and try something new… so why not make a difference while you’re at it?

Beginning May 14th, we’re launching our ☀️ Summer Vacation Foster Program and we are looking for compassionate foster families to give shelter dogs a much-needed break from shelter life.

What’s involved?

• Short-term fostering (2–8 weeks)
• Giving a dog time to decompress in a home environment
• Providing one-on-one attention and love
• Helping us learn more about their personality to find the perfect forever home

Foster Requirements:

• Live within 30 minutes of one of our Second Chance Vet Hospitals (Southbridge, North Brookfield, Worcester, or Springfield)
• If renting, have landlord approval and know any pet restrictions
• Be willing to share your foster dog on social media and/or attend adoption events or meet & greets when possible

Once you submit your form, we’ll try to match you with a dog that fits your home and schedule. You’ll have a chance to meet before committing—so you can feel confident bringing your temporary companion home.

Ready to make your summer unforgettable? Click the link below to get started.

Hello everyone! We have expanded the volunteer role of Greeter and we're looking for folks who have a couple of hours during weekday mornings to help folks with donations and appointments. There will also be Saturday shifts available, TBD. We do ask that volunteers commit to one day a week. Volunteers must be 18+ and able to work independently. Below is an overview of the volunteer process, as well as a link that describes volunteer roles in more detail. If you enjoy a low-key, social role with huge impact, we hope to hear from you!

I see this especially in doodle crosses . More and more lately. One lipoma or fatty tumor, turns to two , then three … you see , but the vet just tells you they are fine, or at least benign( not cancer) . Well In short they usually are but that doesn’t mean something can’t be done to help them. This is a longer read but well worth the educational info. In short- Turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor, also known as Coriolus versicolor) contain powerful immune-modulating compounds, primarily Polysaccharide-K (PSK) and Polysaccharide-Peptide (PSP), which are beta-glucans. It has been well documented that different fungi have anti cancer properties, immune boosting response, and full of antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and inflammation throughout the body which are beneficial for whole body health. This article focuses on how Turkey tail has been shown to reduce all the many lumps & bumps that plague so many dogs these days and even prolong their lives. Because even the benign tumors reduce quality and length of life as they press on internal organs or muscle structures causing movement impairment. I’m not supporting whatever they are selling, but I believe in what the research has shown. Mushrooms are, in short , quite magical in their healing benefits. So if you do your research you could find a supplement that works for your dog as well.

PuppyLabCo Turkey Tail + Probiotic Powder supports your dog’s immune system and gut health with organic turkey tail mushrooms and multi-strain probiotics. Clinically proven to boost immunity, aid digestion, and promote overall vitality. Easy daily scoop, vet-recommended, and made in the USA.

Pet grooming can be a very physically demanding job, even with weight limits.
