Paws For Thought
“Every once in a while, a dog enters your life and changes everything.”
Paw Health
Fleas Have Bathroom Breaks?
Think your pup might have fleas? Have them lie on a white towel while you 🪮 brush through their fur. Any tiny black specks that fall onto the towel could be flea poop - those pesky parasites leave droppings made of digested blood.
To confirm, add a few drops of water to 💧 the specks - if they turn reddish-brown, it’s definitely flea poop. A quick towel test can help you catch fleas early and keep your dog itch-free!

Change A Life Today
🏷️ Dog ID: A2421298 🏷️
Tris is a sweet 🥰 4-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier who’s been waiting far too long for her forever home. Found wandering in West Park back in April, she’s proven to be gentle, friendly, and great on 🦮 walks - a favorite among volunteers.
Shelter life has been tough on her, and she’s ready to trade kennel walls for a comfy couch. Tris is spayed, 💉 vaccinated, and microchipped - and thanks to Leisa Wade, The Pet Realtor, her adoption and registration fees are fully covered.
