To own a pet and care for it wholeheartedly is expensive. With COVID-19 still affecting the daily lives of people around the world, the struggle of caring for a four-legged family member is even harder. Veterinary clinics are also operating at a limited capacity. Wellness services such as vaccines and flea medications are less accessible to customers in need.

The good news is, The Little Lion Foundation, a non-profit based in Long Beach offered a free, community pet wellness clinic last Saturday, March 13. They intend to continue the program but are in need of monetary donations. Interested in helping struggling people from the Long Beach area take care of their pets?

Luna is part of the NHL Arizona Coyotes roster and is a 14-week-old black Labrador. She became family when Cole Cook, vice president of strategy and business intelligence for the Coyotes, and his girlfriend, Allie, decided to foster Luna.

Cook said, “The previous foundation director at the Coyotes kind of floated this idea around the office if somebody would be willing to foster a dog that would be a service dog and then eventually have it be transitioned to a veteran and nobody in the office was really too eager to do it.”

Cole and Allie made it a reality. Now, the NHL team has partnered with the National Assistance Dogs Inc. (NADI). This is a Phoenix-based foundation with a mission of pairing dogs with veterans and first-responders with mobility issues and post-traumatic challenges. Luna has recently graduated and the NADI will soon pair her with a veteran in need based on her personality type.

Four months after adopting a dog from a local rescue shelter, Brian Myers receives the love he gave to Sadie after he fell on the floor due to a stroke. He woke up to the sensation of something rough and wet on his face.

“She kept licking me and crying, so I reached my right hand up to pet her, then I grabbed her collar,” said Myers as he recalled the events. The 59-year-old man needed to call for help but his phone was on the dresser 15 meters away.

Luckily, Sadie dragged him to the dresser where he was able to reach his phone and call for help. What’s surprising is, Sadie was never trained to be an assistance dog. But what she did to save her owner’s life is truly a remarkable feat. Brian Myers says that adopting Sadie was the best decision ever made.

Deb Wuethrich has been around felines since the 70’s. Aside from cats being around her, the companionship of felines has done a lot of good for her well-being. She and her daughter met their first cat C.C. (Calico Cat) after leaving their campus apartment since large pets weren’t allowed there.

After C.C., she met little Riley, Beans, Clancy, Lucy, and Charlie Brown. But like her daughter who passed, so did all the cats she met. So she told her husband, Gordy, she thought not to have any more cats. But on one fateful day, she saw a beautiful picture of a can in a newspaper and thought to donate all the unexpired and unopened cat food left to the SPCA.

During her visit to the SPCA, she felt relieved and relaxed after a very long time. Right now, Deb is still on a break from taking in cats but also came home with adoption applications. And she’ll probably go back for more “Kitty Therapy” when her heart is ready and the time is right.

Claire Barnett is a cum laude from Vanderbilt’s Peabody School, with a Bachelor of Science in Human and Organizational Development. She lives an extraordinary life and doesn’t let her autism and ADHD stop her from achieving her dreams or doing what she wants.

Barnett has been skiing since she was 3 years old. When she had the opportunity to ski again after contracting COVID-19 and recovering from it, she took it. The problem was, her service dog, Maeve, wasn’t allowed to ski with her.

“But when the ski patrol officers flagged me down, they insisted that no matter what the ADA says, service animals are not allowed on the slopes,” said Barnett. Luckily, Maeve was allowed to ski with Claire due to her persistence.

63-year-old Veterinarian Toshihiro Funatsu advises pet owners to make their pets be familiar with people other than themselves. Another important point to follow is to make the pets get accustomed to traveling and other places other than the owner’s home.

This is to reduce the chances of pets feeling separation anxiety or other forms of stress in case a disaster strikes that could potentially cause a displacement. Funatsu said, “A pet will like a carrier if by putting food inside you make it think that it’s a place where they get to eat.”

This message is brought as a reminder of the Great East Japan Earthquake that destroyed the city of Yukihashi in Fukuoka Prefecture.
