| | Trooper's Rescue During Hurricane Milton | Hurricane Milton was terrifying for everyone… including a Bull Terrier who was found tied to a fence, belly-deep in floodwater as the storm raged on. It's just gut-wrenching to imagine this poor pup abandoned and scared, but thankfully, a heroic Florida state trooper spotted him along Interstate 75 and rushed to his rescue, getting him to safety just in time. | The brave Bull Terrier, now named 'Trooper' in honor of the officer who rescued him, is currently recovering with the Leon County Humane Society. A look into his rescue showed him barking and frightened as the trooper approached, but the officer stayed calm, speaking gently and reassuring the pup that he understood his fear. | The Humane Society team is unsure how Trooper ended up in such a heartbreaking situation—his nails were neatly trimmed, and he was a healthy weight. It's likely that he had a home, but no owner has come forward. It's hard to comprehend that his previous owner didn't include him in their evacuation plans. However, the Humane Society is hopeful that Trooper will find the perfect forever home once he's ready. | Since his rescue, Trooper has been adjusting to his new surroundings. He's quite anxious and still stressed from his traumatic event, but he's slowly warming up to the people around him. His foster family is learning more about his personality—he loves swimming, but may not be great with children. They're dedicated to understanding him fully before deciding he's ready for adoption. | Thank goodness for the compassion of the police officer who saved Trooper and the staff at the Humane Society, who are keeping him safe and sound as he prepares for his next adventure in life. |

Whether you're gone for a weekend or a long trip, a trustworthy sitter ensures peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for. Here's a simple guide to help you pick the perfect one: | Check References: Always ask for references or read reviews from other pet owners. A sitter with a proven track record is key.

Discuss Expectations: Be clear about your pet's needs, habits, and quirks. This avoids surprises and ensures the sitter is prepared. Emergency Plans: Make sure your sitter knows what to do in case of an emergency. Leave them with contact information for your vet, and make sure they're familiar with any specific health issues your pet may have. Trust Your Gut: If something doesn't feel right, keep looking. It's important to feel completely comfortable with the person responsible for your pet's well-being.

| | | | | | | These Companies Welcome Dogs in the Office Every Day | None of us like leaving our pups behind when we head to work. The way they look at us—like we've broken their hearts and abandoned them—makes it even harder. And then, we have to do it again the next day. But what if you could bring your dog to work? More and more companies are opening up to the idea, with some big-name employers welcoming dogs into the office every day. Let's take a look at these dog-friendly workplaces (and maybe even apply!). | Amazon. Amazon has been dog-friendly since its early days, and as of 2024, over 10,000 dogs are registered in its "Dogs at Work" program across offices in the U.S. and Australia. At its Seattle headquarters alone, 4,000 pups are part of the team! Amazon offices even offer special features like paw wash stations and decked-out dog parks. | Ben & Jerry's. At Ben & Jerry's, their "K9-5ers" program allows dozens of dogs in the office daily. Pups roam freely in designated areas while their humans work, and employees take breaks to play with them. Best of all, the doggos even get to enjoy ice cream made especially for them! | Salesforce. Salesforce's "Puppyforce" is a workspace where employees can work alongside their dogs. This special doggy workspace includes soundproofed walls, water bowls, dog beds, and rubber flooring. | Clif Bar. Clif Bar has welcomed pups since its founding in 1992. Dogs have always been part of the company's culture! | Zynga. At Zynga's San Francisco headquarters, dogs are welcome daily. These lucky pups enjoy a "Wooftop," a rooftop space for off-leash play, and the "Barking Lots," where they can socialize and have lunch. | Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters' Philadelphia headquarters allows dogs and even has on-site dog parks. | Can you bring your pup to work? We'd love to hear about more companies that allow dogs—it's a great way to make everyone a little happier on the job! |
