Bruce,formerly known as Chester has a happy tail:

Bruce (formerly known as Chester) was adopted from Augusta Animal Services, and in just two weeks he’s already gone on a road trip and settled into a new state — he’s now a proud Washington boy! His days are filled with cuddles and naps as he rotates between the couch, his dog bed, and the queen-size bed (where his human is lucky to get a sliver of space).

Bruce loves his daily walks — taking in the fresh air, admiring the views (especially the waterfall), and of course stopping for pets and compliments from everyone who can’t resist his squishy face.

This cuddly, playful guy is adjusting beautifully to his new home and state. We think everyone can agree — Washington looks good on Bruce! 😍

Whether we like it or not, today is November 1st and the holiday season is upon us (sigh.)

Our adoptable dogs and cats at AAS are bringing you some tips to keep your furry friends safe this year!

Esperanza says: if you choose to go the real Christmas tree route, please keep an eye on your pets around it. Their needles can cause intestinal perforation if ingested. Cats and kittens are particularly notorious for this.

Waddley says: certain plants common this time of year are dangerous to your pets. Holly, mistletoe, and poinsettia are all dangerous to dogs and cats. Christmas lilies are toxic to cats.

Tyrese says: while having friends and family over during the holiday season is a beautiful tradition, a noisy house full of people can be extremely stressful to pets. Make sure your cats have plenty of ability to hide, and consider crating your dogs. This avoids a lot of bite cases.

Burrito says: a lot of common holiday decorations (think ball-shaped tree ornaments, Santa statuettes, etc) look very much like toys to pets. Keep them out of your dog or cat’s reach, or they may end up ingested and causing a pricy blockage.

Martha says: turkey bones are a common cause of illness in our pets. They splinter and perforate intestines. If you’re going to split the bird with your four legged friends, make sure the turkey is cooked and deboned.

Boo says: a lot of common holiday food Is toxic to pets! Make sure you don’t share your chocolate, nuts, onions, fruitcake, or anything that contains these as ingredients.

Sibyll says: this is the time of year when it starts to get cold. Dogs and cats get cold too. Bringing your pets indoors is ideal, but if you can’t do that make sure any outdoor pets have shelter and appropriate bedding. Use straw, not blankets. Blankets get wet and freeze.

Together we can make this a safe and festive holiday season for EVERYONE in the CSRA…two legged and four. 🦃 🎅

All of our speakers are available for adoption today ❤️
