Oh you wanted words of wisdom from 2021? You’ll

Oh you wanted words of wisdom from 2021? You’ll have to wait another day (and lower your expectations) because I need to share your future best friend. Thunderpaws is a five-year-old easy going dude and the perfect winter hibernation buddy. His energy is more chill than thrill and after a quick walk around the block, he’s ready to go back and snuggle the day away. He does well with other dogs and is even crate-trained. Thunderpaws will also be your official taste tester to be sure none of you food has been poisoned. Can never be too careful he says 😉. So, if you’re looking for an all around good boy who has the personality to match his amazing looks, he’s your dude. Thunderpaws is available for adoption through @heartland_animal_shelter! 📸: @adventuresatos

Christmas photo —> Christmas Day. Wishing those who celebrate a very Merry Christmas! Roni, Cheese & Rawlings ended up on the nice list (surprisingly) and are getting very spoiled. We’re spending the day snuggled by the fire watching movies and staying put! Have a safe and happy holiday season! Love, the Nendick Crew 📸: @adventuresatos

Quite a bit windy in the Windy City but this derp doesn’t mind. Just take a second to look at RJ’s face. Look. At. It. This smush isn’t still looking for a home for the holidays and is available for adoption through @itsallaboutthepaws. Photo: @adventuresatos

Who’s a good boy!? Ripple is! This 2 year old goofball is a big derp who is obsessed with his people. He is enthusiastic about everything he does… walking, playing, cuddling… you name it, he’s happy to do it! He loves to play with his foster brothers and would love another playful pup in his adoptive home. Ripple is available for adoption through @heartland_animal_shelter. 📸: @adventuresatos

This week marks 6 months with @thecatcade and I still can’t believe this is my job (and that they let me work here). I’m grateful that Chris and Shelly let me into the Cade family and have been patient while I learn (SO MUCH LEARNING). I know I’m lucky to do what I love and even though petting cats is only about 2% of what I do, I always look forward to going to work.

My absolute favorite part of my job is the adoptions and I’ve helped more than 200 cats find their people. But of course that takes a whole lot of teamwork and I have the best coworkers and the two greatest bosses.

The past 6 months haven’t been easy, I’ve never worked harder for less money (and damn has there been heartache). But every time someone asks me if I’m like my job, my reply without hesitation, is “I love it.”

If you found a stray animal, what would you do wit

If you found a stray animal, what would you do with it? Often I hear people are worried to bring it to the local animal control because they’re worried the shelter is a horrible place where animals go to die. Please help change that narrative.

Animal controls are the first place people go to look for a lost pet. In fact, by law, animals have a mandatory “stray hold” period at a shelter which allows owners time to find their missing pets.

Beyond reuniting lost pets with owners, shelters like @chicagoanimalcare provide care to all pets in need, regardless of health, behavior, age, or breed.

While euthanasia is a possible outcome, it is truly viewed as a last resort and is often the humane choice when an animal is suffering mentally or physically.

Chicago Animal Care & Control works hard to take care of its city’s animals that need help. Please encourage friends and family who find strays to bring them to animal control.

This is Thunderpaws from @heartland_animal_shelter. He was found wandering the streets of Chicago and was brought in by a Good Samaritan. Sadly nobody came for him but Heartland Animal Shelter scooped him up and now he’s ready for his new home! Low energy, easy on leash, and dog-friendly. Oh and stunning.

There’s something about Star, her soulful eyes, gentle demeanor, and delightful personality that you can’t help but love. This five-year-old girl is crate and house-trained and loves to play. She is shy at first so little kids would overwhelm her, and she’d prefer to be your only dog. Star is five stars and would love nothing more than finding her home for the holidays, she is available for adoptions through @itsallaboutthepaws 💕

This is RJ and he’s what I call a squish. His face, his paws, his body… squish. He’s a low riding, exuberant, snuggle buddy looking for his people. He’s about six years old and is always up for adventures and then ready for hibernation. The best of both worlds. Because he’s a bigger dude, he’d do better in a home with older children. RJ is available for adoption through one of my favorite rescues, @itsallaboutthepaws!

Here’s the thing, growing up, I hated Thanksgivi

Here’s the thing, growing up, I hated Thanksgiving. In fact, I dreaded it. The cleaning, the food, the hosting, all of it made me want to just skip the holiday. Today, it’s still not my favorite for many reasons (like the whole origin story) but, I do think putting aside a whole day to reflect and be thankful for all I have is wonderful.

Even though this year has been one of the hardest, I still have so much to be thankful for. My (mental & physical) health, the health of those I love, my fulfilling career, my friendships, the food on my table, the roof over my head, and the animals that enrich my life.

I am truly thankful for you, your support, and your constant kindness. You’re here reading this and caring for these animals like I do and that is not lost on me. Thank you for being here on this journey, thank you for helping me do this ❤️ (good) photos: @margaretrajic
