🐾 Spotlight on Leonard! 🐾
Meet Leonard, a 1-year-old Lab/Doberman mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of potential. Leonard first came to us as a 4-month-old puppy in early 2023. Though he found a home, he was brought back later that year because he didn’t get along with the other animals. Now, Leonard is looking for a forever family where he can be the sole furry companion and share his love for play.
Leonard's Details:
Age: 1 year old
Breed: Lab/Doberman Mix
Gender: Male
Personality: Playful, energetic, and loyal
Special Requirements: Needs to be the only animal in the home
Experience with Children: Never been around children
Favorite Activity: Playing with a ball – Leonard can’t get enough of fetch!
Leonard is an energetic and playful young dog who loves to play ball and enjoys outdoor adventures. His loyal nature makes him a great companion for an individual or family who can give him the attention he deserves. Although he doesn’t always show his best side in the kennel due to being scared, once outside, Leonard’s true, loving nature shines through.
Leonard needs a home where he can be the only pet, ensuring he gets all the love and attention he needs. He would do best with an active person or family who can engage in his favorite games and help him burn off his youthful energy. Since he hasn't been around children, a household without young kids would be ideal.
Leonard’s journey has been a bit bumpy, but he remains hopeful and eager to find his forever home. His return to the shelter wasn’t his fault; he just needs the right environment where he can thrive as the only pet.
If you’re looking for a playful and loyal companion and have room in your heart and home for Leonard, please come meet him. He might be shy in his kennel, but ask to have him brought out, and you’ll see his true, sweet personality. Let’s make 2024 the year Leonard finds his perfect match!
Share Leonard's story and help us find the perfect home for this deserving dog! Together, we can give Leonard the loving family he needs. 🐾❤️

Congrats Pinner on finding her new home this morning, we are so excited for you..
National Lost Pet Prevention Month Continued.........
1. Put a GPS on Your Pet
In addition to a collar and ID tag, consider using a GPS tracker on your pet’s collar. These ingenious devices attach to your pet’s collar and allow you to monitor their location in real-time using an app on your smartphone. If your pet wanders off, you’ll be able to quickly track them down and bring them home safely.
2. Microchip Your Pet (Make Sure Your Details are Registered & Up To Date!)
Microchipping is one of the most effective ways to ensure you can be reunited with your pet if they get lost. In fact, pets with microchips are three times more likely to be reunited with their families2. A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your pet’s skin; this is a quick, easy, and painless procedure your vet can do at any veterinary appointment. If your pet is found and taken to a vet or shelter, they can scan the chip and access your contact details. Just remember to keep your information up to date in the microchip database!
What to Do If You Find a Lost Pet
If you find a lost pet, there are steps you can take to help reunite them with their owners.
Check for ID Tags: Look for any tags that might have the owner’s contact information.
Take Them to a Vet or Shelter: Have the pet scanned for a microchip. This is the quickest way to find the owner’s information.
Use Social Media: Post pictures and details of the found pet on local lost pet groups and community pages.
Notify Local Authorities: Inform animal control or local shelters that you’ve found a lost pet.
National Lost Pet Prevention Month is an important initiative to raise awareness about the measures we can take to keep our pets safe. Each year, about 10 million pets go missing in the United States, and many are never reunited with their families3. By dedicating a month to spreading awareness and education, we can prevent lost pets and ensure more happy reunions.
This month helps us spread awareness and emphasize the importance of microchipping and keeping your pet’s information up to date
Losing a pet can be devastating for both the pet and the owner. The emotional toll of not knowing your pet's whereabouts and the fear for their safety can be overwhelming. However, by taking preventative measures, pet owners can avoid this experience and the profound relief of knowing they've done everything possible to keep their pets safe.
You might wonder, why July? The summer months, especially July, see a spike in lost pets. Increased outdoor activities, family vacations, and noisy celebrations like the Fourth of July mean pets are more prone to escaping, becoming scared, bolting or getting lost. Notably, more pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year due to the stress from fireworks and festivities. By emphasizing pet safety and providing education during this high-risk month, we can help lower the number of pets that go missing.
Getting involved in National Lost Pet Prevention Month is easy and can make a huge difference in keeping your pet safe. Here are some effective strategies to prevent your pet from getting lost:
1. Don’t Leave Your Pet Unattended
Whether you’re at home or out in the yard, never leave your pet unattended. Pets can be curious and adventurous, and it only takes a moment for them to wander off and get lost. Keep an eye on them at all times to ensure their safety.
2. Collar & ID Tag Your Pet
A simple but essential step is to ensure your pet always wears a collar with an ID tag. Include your name, phone number, and address on the tag. This way, if your pet does get lost, anyone who finds them can easily contact you. For extra safety, consider adding a tag that indicates your pet is microchipped.
3. Keep Your Pet in a Secure Enclosure
Make sure your home and yard are secure. Check for any gaps or holes in fences and gates that your pet could slip through. If you have a particularly clever or anxious pet, ensure that all the doors and windows in your home are shut and secure.
National Lost Pet Prevention Month: Keeping Your Furry Friends Safe
July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, a crucial time to raise awareness about the steps pet owners can take to ensure their furry friends remain safe and sound. Losing a pet is a heart-wrenching experience that no pet owner should have to endure. Fortunately, you can take many preventative measures to significantly reduce the risk of your pet getting lost.
Understanding the Importance of National Lost Pet Prevention Month
National Lost Pet Prevention Month was established to emphasize the importance of pet safety and educate pet owners about the steps they can take to prevent their pets from getting lost. According to the American Humane Association, one in three pets will become lost at some point in their lifetime, and with proper identification, 90% of them may return home. This sobering statistic underscores the need for increased awareness and proactive measures to protect our pets.
We will be sharing some ways to help insure your pets safety...
