💜🐾 Last week Plymouth Helping Hands for Animals was able to provide financial assistance to some pet owners who had to say goodbye to their beloved companions. They crossed the Rainbow Bridge with the compassionate care of Vetco Total Care and Veterinary Urgent Care Center in Plymouth.

🐾 Manny, 18 year old miniature poodle. A companion through thick and thin, he helped his mom through all the hard times and she will miss him terribly.

🐾 P**p, a 16 year old cat. His mom adopted him when she was 14 ~ they spent more than half her life together. A true bond created with unconditional love.

🐾 Rocco - only 3 years old. Unfortunately this kitty was suffering from an untreatable illness. His dad is devastated.

Sending comfort and peace to everyone. 💔☮️🐾

Today we remember a friend, Lisa Sirrico, who passed away this day, December 13th in 2021. 💔 Lisa was an animal lover, a kind and gentle soul with many talents, including artist and gardener. She is very much missed by friends and family. Her twin brother Lee presented Helping Hands with a donation in her memory. We send thoughts of peace and comfort to her family and friends on this day of remembrance. 🙏🏼❤️

💜 At Plymouth Helping Hands for Animals we are incredibly grateful to receive the support we need all year long to fulfill our mission of helping pets and pet owners in need.

💜 There are occasions where we have the great blessing to help other charitable organizations: in this case, it happened with the amazing help of the Stop & Shop Distribution Center in Assonet and their Manager, Joelle Defreitas. When Joelle offered Helping Hands a donation of more than 100 cases of Fresh Pet puppy food, we knew without our ability to refrigerate this food, we would need to share it with a group who needs it desperately.

💜 Our dear friends at PAWS New England was an obvious choice. Their volunteers work tirelessly to rescue the most vulnerable: abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters and desperate situations, providing them with veterinary care and much needed TLC, and bringing them to New England where they are placed them in safe, loving homes. Currently, Memphis, Tennessee has one of the worst stray dog problems in the entire country. PAWS is on the ground in Memphis doing their good work.

💜 On Monday, December 8, a refrigerated truck carrying ✨ 1,800 ‼️pounds of puppy food ✨ left Assonet on its way to PAWS NE volunteers in Memphis. To say we are grateful to be able to share such a charitable bounty is an understatement. Compassion and kindness has no limits. We hope that our ability to share will continue to be limitless. 💜🐾💜🐾 With gratitude, all of us at Plymouth Helping Hands for Animals

💜🐾💨 Thank you Missing Dogs Massachusetts for the reminder!! This relates to farm animals as well.

"12/10/25 Dangerous wind advisory in effect for the next 36 hours which means lots of down fences, open gates, fallen trees and branches as well as power outages. Take precautions BEFORE you let your dog out and put them on a leash. You don't want to find out you are missing a part of your fence when it's too late. If you have no power, then an electric fence will no longer work either!

The wind advisory also means your pets can't be left outside for longer than 15 minutes. Best to go out with them and then bring them right back inside. If you see something, say something to your Animal Control Officer."
