OG Anunoby is using his championship spotlight to help some local cats get noticed.

Fresh off helping lead the New York Knicks to an NBA title, Anunoby has partnered with Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), Royal Canin, and VCA Animal Hospitals to spotlight five adoptable shelter cats. The campaign, called "OG's Starting Five," highlights cats currently waiting for homes in New York City's largest shelter system.

To encourage adoptions, the campaign is offering a year of free cat food and veterinary care for adopters. Royal Canin is also donating $300,000 worth of pet food to animal shelters across the U.S. Animal advocates hope the effort will help more shelter cats find loving families.

You can visit Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) for more adoptable animals here: https://www.nycacc.org/.

🎶 Create a calming space – Turn on the TV or radio to help mask fireworks and create a cozy, secure space inside.
🐕 Exercise early – Get in a long walk or extra playtime in the morning to help burn off energy and reduce stress later in the day.

Out of the almost 200 AKC-recognized breeds competing for best in show, which breed do you hope will win? 🐶

11/26/2024

The Coton de Tulear, also known as the ‘royal dog of Madagascar’, it is a long-established breed that takes its name from Tulear, a port town on the island’s southwest coast. It is said that in the 15th century several Bichon-type dogs from Tenerife survived a pirate shipwreck and swam to Tulear, where they interbred with local terriers, resulting in the Coton de Tulear. It became a very popular dog in the royal homes, so much so that a law was published that prohibited having this breed to anyone who did not belong to the nobility of Madagascar.

The border collie originated in Britain around the English and Scottish border during the 1800s.
A defining event was the advent of the first competitive sheepdog trial in 1873, in which a dog named H**p made such a good showing that he became sought after for stud. H**p is considered to be the father of the border collie.
H**p and his progeny herded not by nipping and barking, as was commonplace, but by staring and stalking (known as "giving eye"). This intimidated the sheep into moving.
