August is National Immunization Awareness Month, so we joined @WTKR3 Coast Live to discuss the importance of keeping your pets up to date on their vaccines. wtkr.com/coast-live/the…

Keeping your furry friends up-to-date on their vaccinations is a vital part of being a pet parent. Not only do vaccines keep your pets safe, but they also prevent the spread of disease to other pets. Visit vbspca.com/the-importance… to learn more about the importance of vaccines.

Help your kids appreciate the beauty in nature with our Art in the Wild virtual activity! Young animal lovers will complete a scavenger hunt and then use the items they find outside to create an animal-inspired masterpiece. Visit vbspca.com/virtual-activi… to get started.

@PetsforPatriots @USNavy @VUFoundation @veteransunited @OurMilitaryKids @MilSpouseMag @military_family Thank you for your help in making Bishop's adoption dreams come true!

Just a reminder that when we're unleashing hope for military veterans we're doing the same for their families. Julia served in the @USNavy for 20+ years before setting sail back to civilian life. She and her family recently added a new mate: 6 year-old Bishop, who's doing swimmingly in his new home (don't let the sad 'cone' face fool you). Thanks @vbspca for another great match, and thanks to @VUFoundation for the generous grant that's funding Bishop's 'welcome home' gift card and year of post-adoption follow up! #unleashinghope

With dangerous heat in store this weekend we joined WAVY TV 10 to discuss all things related to heat safety. Visit wavy.com/weather/protec… to keep your four-legged friends safe.

We've always known Cooper has the perfect face for TV, and now we can prove it! This 7 year old hound mix and the shelter's longest resident appeared on @WTKR3 to bring attention to slowing adoption rates at the shelter. Visit wtkr.com/positivelyhr/v… to watch the whole segment.

Teach your children the importance of being a responsible pet parent with the Create Your Own Pet Rock virtual activity! All that's needed is a rock and your child's creativity. Visit vbspca.com/virtual-activi… to download your own pet rock adoption certificate and care guide.

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and for many that means long days on the water. Sharing these times with your dogs can be a great source of bonding and enrichment, but only if the rules of water safety are followed. Visit vbspca.com/dog-water-safe… to learn more.

Did you know that slowing adoption rates are leading to longer stays in shelters for animals like Petunia? Visit wtkr.com/coast-live/vbs… to learn how you can help.
