Meet Bellany! 🐾

​Looking for a giant cuddle monster to add to your family? Look no further! Bellany is a stunning 1-year and 7-month-old Rottweiler/Labrador Retriever mix who weighs in at a sturdy 96 pounds of pure love.

​Here’s what you need to know about our girl:

​A Total Love Bug: Bellany is incredibly friendly, playful, and completely full of energy. She thrives on attention!

​Smart Cookie: She’s got a great head on her shoulders and already knows her basic commands: sit, stay, lay down, and no.

​Social Butterfly: She hits the adoption jackpot—she is great with kids, dogs, and cats!

​Quirks & Perks: She’s an active chewer, so she’ll definitely need plenty of durable chew toys to keep her busy. Oh, and she "cobs"! Those gentle, funny little front-tooth nibbles are just her special way of showing you how much she loves you.

​Health: She is fully vetted, spayed, and current on all her shots.

​If you're ready for big energy and even bigger cuddles, come meet Bellany at Mission Valley Animal Shelter! She's ready to find her forever couch. 🏡❤️

Ready to switch your new cat or dog over to their new food? Here is a vet-recommended 7-day transition schedule to keep their tummies happy! 🥣✨

Mix the shelter food (or their old food) with the new food using this timeline:

🐾 Days 1–2: 75% old food, 25% new food

🐾 Days 3–4: 50% old food, 50% new food

🐾 Days 5–6: 25% old food, 75% new food

🐾 Day 7: 100% new food!

Taking a full week gives your pet's digestive system the time it needs to adapt to different ingredients and nutrient levels.

Just adopted a new best friend? Congratulations! 🎉

Before you head home, here’s a pro tip: always ask for a small portion of the food your new cat or dog has been eating here at the shelter.

​Switching your pet’s food sounds simple—open the new bag, pour, done, right? But doing it too fast can cause digestive upset, loose stools, gas, and vomiting. Many owners think the new food just doesn't agree with their pet, but usually, it was just the sudden transition!

​Having a sample of their shelter food lets you smoothly transition them to whatever new brand you want to feed them at home. Stay tuned for our step-by-step guide on how to make the switch easy! 🐶🐱💙

☀️ ​August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month, it’s a great time to be aware of what causes your pup's itch!

Summer is in full swing, and we know you're soaking in every day with your pup! But with summer adventures come pesky problems like skin conditions and allergic itch flaring up in the heat.

​Here are a few things to look out for to protect your dog from yeast infections:

​Allergies can cause skin inflammation.

​Parasites, like fleas and mites, can make your dog itch and lead to other infections.

​Prolonged antibiotic use can harm the normal skin flora that keeps yeast under control.

​If your pup is scratching more than normal, it's time to get to the bottom of the itch so you can provide relief!

Look at that smile! 🐾

​A massive THANK YOU to the amazing TREAT community! Because of all your hard work and dedication in-game, this sweet pup is stocked up and ready to go.

​As you can see in the photo, not only did we receive some yummy Pedigree kibble and Milk-Bone minis, but we also got something extra special this time around.

Thanks to the new Medical Event in the game, your gameplay is now providing essential flea and tick medication to shelter pets in need!

​We are so incredibly happy and grateful to see our community playing, having fun, and making such a tangible difference in the real world. Every action you take in the game helps keep dogs like this one happy, healthy, and pest-free.

​Keep playing, keep helping, and keep being awesome! ❤️🐶
