We featured Cheese in our Monday Motivation post earlier today. Their Texas foster had also sent these other photos of him with his sister Mac... and we just can't pass up the opportunity to share with you because these pics are just too cute and funny. That pic on the right... 🤣

Do any other captions come to mind?

Did you know... the day after 4th of July is the busiest day of the year for U.S. animal shelters. With the holiday less than 2 weeks away, it's time to ensure your pet has a microchip and that it's registered & updated with your current contact information.

How to Observe National Pet Microchipping Month:

• Microchip Your Pet: If your pet isn't already microchipped, schedule an appointment today. Watch for low-cost microchip clinics in your area.

• Check Microchip: Ensure your microchip contact information is up-to-date in the registry. Also ensure the microchip is still functioning correctly... your vet should check with their scanner at least once a year.

• Promote Microchipping: Share information about the benefits of microchipping with other pet owners and encourage them to have their pets microchipped. Share on social media and neighborhood pages, as well as with family and friends.

Happy Sunday Funday!
"SPLOOT describes a specific pose where a four-legged animal, like a dog or cat, lies on its belly with its hind legs stretched out flat behind them. It's often described as an adorable and sometimes funny posture."

We think it's adorable and funny! Does your pet do the sploot, like our little guy BROCK in the picture below?

Let's have a little fun today... SHOW US YOUR SPLOOTS!

HAPPY FRIDAY! We hope everyone has something fun planned for the weekend. This foster home will no doubt have a great time because it's full of dogs and love and fun and shenanigans...

❤ P4P Foster Dog MADISON - the white one, saved from Corsicana Animal Shelter back in April

❤ P4P Foster Puppy ZEUS (previously referred to as No. 6) - the little spunky playful brindle guy, saved from Corsicana Animal Shelter earlier this week

❤ Resident blue heeler mix sweetheart ALLIE - on the couch, rescued from the streets 2 years ago

❤ And taking it all in from a slight distance is resident pup JOJO, adopted from the Mesquite Animal Shelter in March after a plea went out for help because he was there at the shelter, terrified, for 3 months with little progress. He's still quite timid, but is making a little progress, bit by bit.

What a beautiful sight to behold, all these rescued souls living their best lives in safety and love. Thank you for Adopting, thank you for Rescuing, thank you for Fostering. We can't think of how to add any more Goodness to that mix. We love our foster families. ❤️

Look at our sweet little meatball BROCK hammin it up at the vet today. Frenchies sure are adorable. But as a breed they are prone to skin issues... and our guy has certainly not gotten the supportive care he should've to avoid or manage things better.

As a result, he's battling a yeast overgrowth, and he also has these dark hardened areas on his belly and groin area. It's called "lichenification", which means "characterized by thickened, leathery skin due to persistent scratching or rubbing". 😟😢

His ears were so bad that they needed to be packed. "Ear packing" refers to a veterinary procedure where a thick, long-lasting medication is placed into a dog's ear canal to treat a severe infection. This medication contains a combination of ingredients, including antibiotics, antifungals, and anti-inflammatory agents, to target different aspects of the infection, and is designed to stay in place for one to two weeks, allowing for sustained treatment."

Poor guy has been suffering quite a while for it to have advanced to this stage. So glad he'll now be on his way to better days.

👩‍⚕️ So that's your mini dog medical lesson for the day. We hope you found it interesting, and not too gross.

🧐 We are still looking for a calm foster home in which he can decompress from his time at the shelter, and receive some love and care as he begins to heal, body and soul. As you can imagine, he really loves belly rubs and will look at you lovingly with those googly eyes of his. Who wouldn't want a little of that in their day!? Please please consider fostering him until the July 19th Transport. He's only 21 lbs. And you'll be able to boast "I fostered a Frenchie this summer!" 🏅
