If you (or someone you know) received a puppy this holiday season, here’s what to do right away:

🐾 Schedule a vet visit ASAP
🐾 Check age, health, and vaccination needs
🐾 Ask where the puppy came from
🐾 Consider pet insurance early
🐾 Learn proper care — especially if under 8 weeks old

Puppies aren’t gifts. They’re living beings that need time, care, and commitment. The choices you make now can shape their health and happiness for years to come. ❤️

‼️Hands2Paws is not a rescue, broker, or breeder.‼️

The Hands2Paws app is a mobile app rescue and breed-matching platform that uses data to pair people with breeds suited to their lifestyles and experiences. It is a free resource and directs users to recognized breed-specific parent clubs (e.g., the German Shepherd Dog Club of America) for accurate, breed-standard information.

There is no recognized genetic basis for a so-called “fluffy” or “fuzzy” French Bulldog. The term is a marketing label that misrepresents mixed-breed dogs. Hands2Paws offers to fund and provide DNA testing kits, which consistently demonstrate admixture with other breeds, including corgis.

Questioning an unregulated market selling dogs online for $10,000–$18,000 without genetic verification is a matter of consumer transparency and animal welfare.

This will be our only response on this matter. Any further assertions inconsistent with the facts outlined above will not be addressed.

Escaping the cold for a sunny getaway sounds amazing—but if you travel with a cold-weather dog, a little extra planning is a must 🐶💙

Breeds like Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Newfoundlands are built for snow—not heat! Their thick coats and high energy can make warm destinations challenging without the right care.

🌡️ Hot-Weather Travel Tips for Cold-Climate Dogs:
💧 Keep water available at all times
🌅 Walk early morning or late evening
❄️ Provide AC, shade, and cool resting areas
✂️ Brush regularly—never shave double coats
🧊 Use cooling vests or mats when needed
🚨 Watch for signs of overheating (panting, drooling, fatigue)

With the right prep, your winter dog can still enjoy a warm-weather escape—comfort always comes first 🐾✨

🐾💙 Starting the Year Off Right — Supporting Our Local Shelters

We’re beginning the year by gathering blankets, towels, and supplies to help care for animals in need.

Supporting local shelters is a meaningful way to give back to the communities that give so much. Every donation helps provide comfort, warmth, and care to pets as they wait for their forever homes.

If you’re able, consider reaching out to your local humane society or animal shelter to see which items are most needed. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 🐶🐾

Together, we can help make a positive impact — one paw at a time. 💙

Here’s to new beginnings, wagging tails, and meaningful connections in the year ahead. ✨

On behalf of myself and the entire Hands2Paws team, we are truly broken-hearted by the passing of beautiful Cindy. She was part of Ruben’s family long before he and his brother were born. Adopted by their mom, Cindy was never just a pet—she was a beloved family member.

For thirty years, Cindy gave unconditional love, loyalty, and devotion. Her life was a testament to what animals give us so freely and so selflessly.

We know Cindy is watching over us now, telling every animal at the Rainbow Bridge that humans do care, and that all we ever want is what’s best for them. We’re certain the first to greet you was Jane Goodall.

You will be terribly missed, sweet Cindy. 🐾💛 🌈
