May 3, Specially-Abled Pets Day

Animal advocate Colleen Paige created the day in 2006 to educate the public on caring for disabled pets and promote finding them forever homes. Originally called "Disabled Pets Day," Paige changed it to "Specially-abled" because she believed the original name carried too negative a connotation for animals that are highly capable. 

The day highlights pets living with blindness, deafness, limb loss, or paralysis.  We saw Dexter on TV this last week and boy we were impressed! 

I woner if Numeg could do what Dexter does! 

Of Course I can! I can do ANYTHING!
 

 

It's May 2026

May is one of our favorite Months of the Year! We love that the weather has gotten warmer, the mice are out (and we can humt THEM!). The birds sing, the flowers are blooming and our Peeps stay outside for longer!

 

 May is Chip Your Pet Month and promotes microchipping as a permanent, reliable form of identification to reunite lost pets with their owners. This month is a reminder for our Peeps to ensure their contact information is updated. Microchips are not GPS trackers but essential, tamper-proof ID for us to be reunited.

 

 AND MAY is Nationl Pet Month! THis month our Peeps can celebrate the benefits pets bring to our lives AND promotes responsible pet ownership. Throughout May, we can celebrates everything that makes the pet human bond special and features various pet-themed days, and activities aimed at supporting animal welfare. 

 

 

I'm ready! Are YOU?
