Pet Adoption: Did You Adopt Your Pet or Did Your Pet Adopt You?

As Thanksgiving draws near, what are you thankful for? Some of us are just thankful to have a pet—or to have an owner. How did you find your pet? How did your pet find you?

For every pet and owner, there’s a good story. How did you find each other? Was it a search you undertook, or did your pet find you?

Some of the most thankful pets might be those lifted out of a life of  living off garbage and huddling alone in alleys and wooded areas. I know a big dog named “Mungus” who was in that situation a few years ago. He must have felt like he won the lottery when a nice lady and her little daughter rescued him from the back of a grocery story four or five years ago. The lady was the actual winner, though. As it turned out, that big pooch had an extra sensitive snout for diabetes. Mungus naturally sensed the lady’s highs and lows of her blood sugar, and knew enough to warn her each time– even before she knew it herself!

Those adopted from shelters and rescue organizations certainly appreciate the love of their owners, too. Name the breed and type of animal, and you can probably find a rescue center. Or just go down to your local shelter. To find one near you, there are a couple of pet adoption websites to help:

–         Pet Finder is one helpful site. You can search for a specific breed and find one near you. The site includes pictures of each adoptable pet plus notes about whether it would like to be the only pet, if it gets along with other animals, and if it has special medical needs. The site also has a list of animal shelters.

–         Adopt-A-Pet can help you find shelters with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, horses, fish, and even farm animals! You can also search by location, size and more.

All of us are thankful for the companionship of having a pet (and owner) to love. We’re thankful for people like you and organizations like these who care for animals.

So, how did you and your pet connect? Did you use the websites above or other sites? Share your story!

    Cancellation/Late Policy Update

    Dear Clients,

    We are extremely grateful for our clients’ support, patience, and understanding to us over the last year and a half. We would love to be able to see all of the patients that need our help daily. We do our best to accommodate and triage patient needs, but sadly, sometimes we are overbooked and have to refer critical cases to an emergency hospital. While our doctor and staff members are dedicated to helping as many pets as possible, they too are only human and have limitations on what they can safely do while providing the highest level of care.

    Due to high demand of appointments, when a client cancels without advance notice, it prevents another patient from being seen. For this reason, we are now strictly enforcing a 24-hour cancellation policy. We ask that when you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please call us immediately so we can accommodate as many patients as possible. If we are closed, please leave a message to cancel or reschedule. A $35 no show/late cancellation fee will be charged if your appointment is canceled without a minimum of 24-hour notice. If you do cancel your appointment without notice, a non-refundable deposit of $35 will be required before scheduling any future appointments. We appreciate your understanding.

    Additionally, we ask that you please be kind to our staff. While we understand it is a stressful time, yelling at, belittling, or threatening any team member will not be tolerated by the individuals who have forgotten common courtesy and respect during these trying times.

    Thank you,
    The Jewell Team
