Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. We se Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. We set aside time each year to talk about pets like Peyton. This 12yo cat weighs a little more than 20 pounds right now. His added girth makes it hard for him to stay clean, hop up to ask for cuddles, and play with his toys. We know there's an active kitty inside that big body. But he needs a careful and patient person to go on a weight-loss journey with him. Could that person be you? It's really easy to let pets slide into obesity. We've all given our cats a few too many treats or kibble bits from time to time. The next time you're tempted to show your love with food, consider waving a wand toy for your cat or tossing a ball. Or just offer some focused cuddle time. Your cat will thank you for it! Peyton is looking for a home now. He absolutely adores other cats and will do best in a home with a friend. Can you help him? Find him on our Adoptable Cats page (link in bio), open his profile and tap the pink Adopt Me button for an application. Thank you! #nationalpetobesityawarenessday #petobesityawarenessday #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #bestmeow #instakitty #catsareawesome #catsarefamily #tabby #tabbies #tabbiesofinstagram

October is #adoptashelterdogmonth. It's a great ti October is #adoptashelterdogmonth. It's a great time to read about Asher. (Actually, anytime is a great time to read about this terrific dog.) Asher is a 7yo, bouncy, Lakeland Terrier male dog. He's small, weighing in at under 20 pounds, and he's covered in a short, wiry coat. Like many of his breed, Asher is a big dog in a small package. You may be tempted to wrap him up in your arms and coddle him. But he'll be happiest when he is on the go. Running, walking, hiking, gardening, and other physical activities make Asher's heart sing. He also loves training (especially when you bring the cheese), as it keeps his busy brain active and engaged. Don't rely on your other pets to entertain him, as Asher really will do best as the only furry friend in your home. Since he is so exuberant, we're recommending a home without small children. All this month, @capitolsubaru with @subaru_usa is donating $100 for each pet like Asher adopted (up to $3,100). We're so thankful for the support, and we're equally thankful for adopters that help bring this donation to life! To adopt Asher, find him on our Adoptable Dogs page (link in bio), open his profile, and tap the pink Adopt Me button. Answer the questions, and watch your email! We'll be in touch with next steps. #subarulovespets #lakelandterrier #lakelandterriers #lakelandterriersofinstagram #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #dogsofinstagram #dogscorner #dog #dogsandpals #dogs #instadog #doglover #instagramdogs #dogoftheday #dogstagram #lovedogs
We have the sweetest adoption story to share with We have the sweetest adoption story to share with you today. Meet Phil! Here's what his family says about this big guy. "Phil is a large, sweet, bossy, into everything, must be in the highest place in the room kinda cat who did two tours at WHS. Though he still has a few wild tendencies, he has turned into a big mama's boy. He has chronic upper respiratory issue, and has the loudest sniff if have ever heard in a cat. He jumps up on my chair and sniffs my head at least once a day to make sure I am still here. Covid was the best thing for him. Since I work from home every day, he has learned boundaries and that being on my plate rack in the kitchen walking amongst my breakables is not acceptable. He loves to be held, get his belly rubbed and to pop into a work meeting once in awhile. He must be close to me, wherever that is. He has a "hideehole" between my microwave and fridge so when I am canning He can be in the same room. Don't stick your hand in there.. that's HIS kitty cave (Lol). Beyond that, Phil likes to share. He brings all his toys to my bed in the night and prefers to chase them in the covers while I sleep. In the beginning, I could see why he was brought back after a short adoption as he was quite wild. However after, getting to know him, really watching his behaviors, research, a lot of patience and a ton of toys, he has blossomed into a very lovable, sweet boy who I wouldn't trade for the world." We love your happy stories! Do you have one to share? Submit it at the link in our bio, or send a note to happytails@whs4pets.org. We could share your story here or in Brief Paws, our quarterly printed magazine! #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #bestmeow #instakitty #catoftheday #kitty #kitten #funnycat #catsareawesome #catsarefamily
