Do you know how to save a choking pet? https://youtu.be/_zXqCVbUc2s
As all of us that share our homes with animal companions know, it’s not always happy times. Though we love sharing the happy updates, we also feel it’s important to share the challenges. This is Pot Roast (fka Elvira). She found her love match not that long ago. While in the shelter’s care, Pot Roast received treatment for mouth issues, and was cleared for adoption. Because her new mom is so in tune with a bearded dragon’s behavior, she quickly noticed something wasn’t right..., and had her examined by a vet. Pot Roast’s prognosis is not good, unfortunately, but her new mom is dedicated to ensuring she receives all the love and care necessary so she lives her best life. And our nonprofit, PUP Laguna Beach, is dedicated to help her cover the costs of the treatment plan. Pot Roast’s mom shares: She seems very alert and she is active, she hides it very well. She’s struggling to chew her food, but I’m able to feed her this paste and she does well with it. I went ahead and started treatment for her, we can’t guarantee her outcome, but we can be hopeful due to her demeanor, she is such a fighter and is so so brave! I love her with all my heart, so keep her in your thoughts she’s such a sweet baby. See more
DO YOU SPEAK 'DOG'? As living, feeling beings like us, dogs have wants and do not wants, and although they may not speak our language, they do try to communicate with us to let us know when they are uncomfortable, so it is up to US to learn to interpret what they are saying. Biting is a dog’s way of communicating that they are threatened, uncomfortable, or angry - but usually, only after other (perhaps less obvious) behavioural cues have gone unnoticed or ignored.... Before a dog bites, they will often try to send their message in a number of smaller ways, and it is important for all of us, and especially young children, to not only treat dogs respectfully but to understand dog body language and be able to identify the warning signs of a dog who might be about to bite. It's Dog Bite Prevention Week! This week, and every week, it’s important to educate ourselves in dog welfare, care, and safety. Educational materials like the ones in these images help you understand how to behave around dogs to minimize the risk of being bitten and how to preempt bites by recognising when a dog is trying to say 'no'.
Marty and Marley wait day after day...week after week...month after month...hoping that special someone will show up and give them a chance to trust and to love. Is it you?

Great guesses! The majority of Frankie’s genetic makeup may not be a surprise, but how about the extra flavor he has? Thanks again to Frankie’s family for sharing.

Remember the litter of 13 German shepherd Rottweiler puppies we had last year? Well, one of the biggest of the litter, Big Boy G (Giovanni) , is checking in, and boy is he living up to expectations! Now at 125 pounds, he’s as big (and bigger) than his people!!! As you can see, he’s a BIG love #pupdate
It’s a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors and all its smells.
You remember Lexi (fka Fiona) adopted earlier this year? Well, her new family was dying to know what crazy concoction created this beauty (okay, us too!) so they had a DNA test done. If we would’ve placed bets, we would’ve lost. Go to our Instagram to see the results...or try guessing in the comments
It was love at first sight...for Samantha (fka Annie) and her new mom

Elsa is a 3-year-old #tabby that’s sweet and friendly, and loves to be petted, but prefers not to be picked up. She would love to be in a quiet home where she and her people relax and enjoy each other’s company. To meet Elsa, call the shelter between 11am-4pm to schedule an appointment. . #sheltercat #animalshelter #adoptdontshop #lagunabeach #adoptme ... #adoptlove #savealife #theonesinneedarethebestbreed #rescuedismyfavoritebreed See more

Continue to keep an eye out while the weather is still so warm!
Even experienced dog owners may not know how to interpret their dogs’ behavior. Hopefully this helps!
