September has come our way and along with it some changes of more than just the season. We have left up our Summer Safety tips which include Poolside and Walks. Since its Hurricane Season, check out the 'Do you have a plan?' information with some new content that can be Downloaded and/or Printed out to help plan for the worst while wishing for the best.
There are Pupdates on Laika's Stars on the way with lots of pictures for some of these stellar pups! As the Summer sun wanes and Autumn heads on in, we will be adding some content to fit the change of season through the month. Right now we don't have any adoptable animals, but we never know who may show up on our doorstep! Always remember, if we do not have the critter to wind down the last days of summer with, there are animals in need in shelters and rescues everywhere just waiting for someone to experience the changing seasons with. -ALPRAS Team |

Asphalt, Concrete, Gravel, Beach Sand, and some Deck types.
Paws Softened by a day of Swimming are at Extra Risk. Keep an eye out in Tourist or Celebration areas for Broken Glass, Jagged Metal (like beer bottle caps), and discarded foods that your pup may try to snag. Burrs (like Sand spurs) in Nature Walkways and Trails can hide between paw pads while Sweet Gum Tree seed pods may hide in some tree lined sandy beaches. |

In the last week of May 2015, across Eight states, the people you would expect most to know better.....didn't.
That week claimed the lives of 11 dogs. Not just any dogs, but K9 Police Dogs. Its estimated that roughly 35-40 Children die in hot vehicles every year in this country. Most people think of their kids long before they think of their pets which is why, for pets, that number reaches into the Thousands.* There are many articles on this issue that is only beginning to get the attention it deserves. The highlighted article written by Dr. Katy Nelson for BarkPost.com details what happens, how fast, and what to do if it does happen. * According to a petition on Care2 written by ASPCA |

Do you have a Plan?
June 1st is more than the beginning of Summer, it's also the beginning of Hurricane Season.
With the Devastating Hurricane Activity the last few years it is more important than ever to be prepared.
Our Hearts go out to the people and pets who have suffered under Hurricanes
in the past and to all those who still suffer from the devastating effects of
Hurricane Helene and Milton in Florida.
Though we at ALPRAS made it through Helene & Milton safely in 20year, we know many who did not.
Please do your part in making sure you are best prepared for any Natural Disaster.

I got adopted!!! I was initially nervous about everything since it was all so new, but my brother made me at home super fast. He's the biggest cat I've ever seen! His name is Mojo, a Maine Coon kitty. He even lays with me. My other brother, Kevin, he's still not sure but Mojo says he'll come around. My new mom and dad are super nice and really patient. They make me feel at home, which is great because I am Home now! They play my favorite song and music whenever I need it, got me a huge new bed, give me lots of pets and cuddles. I'm glad I have a home to call my own and a new family that will help me be the brightest star I can be! <3 |
Pupdates
Jensen Gregory Woofworth is doing great in his new home with his family and his dog sister Rosie. Rosie had been pretty down and feeling a bit lost as her past siblings had crossed the rainbow bridge. It was tough on everypawdy and they all needed some extra companionship. So they called on ALPRAS for JG Woofworth (877-WOOF-NOW) for some much needed love!
Everyone got along really well and Jensen slid right in as a family member right away. These days he plays with Rosie, uses his new Dad as a comfy bed, provides lots of woos for his new Mom, and comfort for his hooman big sis.
We're very happy that things are going so well for everypawdy!
