When Life Gets Messy, Who Helps Your Pet?

Ever had life flip upside down and suddenly you’re not sure where you or your pet will sleep tonight? It’s a nightmare, but it happens—hospital stays, emergencies, or losing your home. The worst part? Worrying about your furry friend on top of everything else. That’s where Animal Humane Society steps in. If you’re in the Twin Cities and need a safe spot for your pet while you get back on your feet, they’ve got a foster program that’ll take care of your buddy for up to 60 days. No judgment, just help. And if your landlord’s got rules about vaccines or spay/neuter, their HEVA program covers that too—so you don’t have to choose between a roof and your pet. You’ll need a referral from one of their partner agencies, but if you’re already working with them, it’s a lifeline. Not sure if you qualify? Just ask. Honestly, it’s about keeping families—pets included—together, even when life gets messy. #PetCare #AnimalRescue #SupportEachOther #Pets

Surviving Your First Week With a New Pet

So you just adopted a new pet and you’re staring at them like, “Now what?” Don’t panic—here’s the crash course I wish someone gave me before my cat turned my apartment into a fur tornado. You’ll need the basics: food (ask staff for wet vs. dry, trust me), bowls that don’t tip, and a litter box or poop bags. Get a collar and ID tag—yes, even if you think your pet is too cool for them. Toys are non-negotiable unless you want your shoes destroyed. Beds are optional, but good luck convincing your new roommate not to sleep on your pillow. Pro tip: Buy a lint roller. Or five. And hey, every dollar you spend here goes back to helping more animals find homes. So go wild (within reason). If you’re lost, the staff are basically pet matchmakers. Call them. #PetAdoption #NewPetChecklist #AnimalRescue #Pets

Adopting a Pet? 5 Things Nobody Tells You

So you want a pet. Maybe you’ve been binging cute animal videos, or your friend’s cat is now your entire personality. But before you fall for the first pair of puppy eyes, let’s get real: Time is a thing. Dogs = needy toddlers for 10+ years. Cats = moody roommates. Small critters? Still need you, just in shorter bursts. Pets cost more than your last online shopping spree. Food, vet bills, random emergencies—budget for it, or prepare for chaos. Got other pets? They might not be thrilled about a new sibling. Slow intros, patience, and maybe a few hissy fits (from everyone). Roommates or family? Allergies, phobias, or the classic “who’s cleaning the litter box?” drama. Discuss first, regret less. Renting? Landlords can crush dreams fast. Check the rules, avoid heartbreak. Bottom line: Adopt with your brain and your heart. Compatibility > impulse. Your future self (and your pet) will thank you. #PetAdoption #AnimalRescue #NewPet #Pets
