BE AWARE, KEEP DOGS SAFE!!!

🚨 PARVO OUTBREAK IN ARIZONA — PLEASE READ & SHARE! 🚨

Arizona is currently experiencing one of the worst Parvo outbreaks we’ve ever seen. Hundreds of dogs across the Valley are being diagnosed every single day.

Please take a moment to review the information below to help keep your pets — and our community’s pets — safe.

⸻

✅ Make Sure Your Dog Is Properly Vaccinated

Puppies:
• MUST receive parvo/distemper vaccines every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks old (sometimes up to 20 weeks depending on your vet’s guidance).
• Should NOT be leaving the house or exposed to public places, parks, pet stores, or unknown dogs until they are fully vaccinated.
• Be cautious of what you bring home on shoes, clothes, and hands — parvo is extremely contagious.

These vaccines must be given by a licensed veterinarian — NOT a breeder, NOT a feed store.

Adult Dogs:
• Need regular boosters to stay protected!

⸻

⚠️ Know the Signs of Parvo

If your dog shows any of the following symptoms — especially if unvaccinated or partially vaccinated — contact your veterinarian immediately or go straight to an emergency clinic:
• Severe, often bloody, foul-smelling diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite or low water intake
• Abdominal pain or bloating
• Extreme lethargy or weakness
• Fever or abnormally low temperature
• Dehydration
• Rapid heart rate
• Weight loss

Parvo is life-threatening and requires immediate vet care. Home remedies do NOT work. These dogs cannot keep medications or fluids down — they need IV care to survive.

⸻

🚗 If You Suspect Parvo

When you arrive at your vet or emergency clinic:
Please call from your car and inform staff of your concern.
Do NOT walk your dog into the lobby.
Clinics will guide you to a safe, isolated area to avoid spreading the virus.

Also, never allow your dog to sniff or interact with other dogs at any animal hospital — many of them are there because they are sick.

The Hidden Pain of Declawing

This cat’s story says it all. Injured, defenseless, and cornered; a declawed cat is vulnerable in ways most people don’t see. Even in a safe neighborhood, the smallest dangers; other animals, unexpected accidents, or simple outdoor hazards, can become life-threatening.

Declawing removes a cat’s primary means of defense.

Injuries to paws, even minor ones, become far more serious.

Emotional trauma from being defenseless is real and lasting.

This image shows the stakes clearly: a small, crying cat with bandaged paws, surrounded by predators, frightened and alone. It’s not a cartoon joke, it’s a story of vulnerability, pain, and helplessness.

Surgical declawing isn’t just removing a nail - it’s amputation of the last bone of each toe. For a cat, this is the equivalent of cutting off a human finger at the last joint.

The consequences are serious:

Chronic Pain & Arthritis: Declawed cats often develop lifelong pain in their paws and joints.

Behavioral Changes: Fear, aggression, and litter box avoidance are common responses to this trauma.

Loss of Mobility & Defense: Without claws, cats can’t defend themselves or climb to safety, leaving them vulnerable indoors and out.

Emotional Distress: Cats are tactile animals - their paws are essential for exploring, communicating, and feeling secure. Declawing disrupts all of this.

Declawing isn’t cosmetic; it’s inhumane and harmful. The only responsible way to care for a cat is to preserve their claws and provide alternatives like scratching posts, nail trims, and soft caps.

💛 Help us spread awareness. Say NO to declawing, YES to compassion.

On this Veterans Day, we honor not only the brave men and women who served… but also the loyal paws who stood beside them. 🐾🇺🇸
From the horses who carried hope, to the dogs who sniffed out danger, to the pigeons who delivered messages through gunfire — their courage saved countless lives.
They may not wear medals, but they earned something greater: eternal gratitude
