Why Sleep Is So Important for Equids

Dream sleep is essential, and horses or donkeys who are too worried or uncomfortable to lie down and stretch out regularly can develop sleep deprivation.

Fear Is an Emotion, Not a Behavior

Certainly, dogs will learn to avoid things that have frightened or harmed them in the past... But fear itself is not a learned behavior that the animal can choose to “perform” or not—it is a neurobiological and involuntary response.

The Importance of Transparency in Sheltering and Rescue

Conflicting answers or reluctance to answer questions are red flags.

Starting Off on the Right Paw with New Pet Introductions

A New Puppy Affects the Existing Dog(s) in Your Household – Here’s What You Need to Know

If your current dog has behavioral issues that have not been resolved yet, do not add another dog to the home. The new dog will very likely emulate the current dog’s behaviors.

Fire Safety for Pets

Develop a family fire plan and have a practice drill at least twice a year. Include your pet in your biannual home fire drills.
