Veterinary experts will be sent by the government of Texas to California. They have two missions: One to provide caring aid for all the animals in the area affected by the ongoing wildfires. Two, help in alleviating the stress faced by the local responders. This was announced last Friday, September 25, 2020, by the Governor of Texas Greg Abbott.

“Texas is always ready to answer the call to help our fellow Americans in their time of need,” said Abbott. Six agents from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and nine members of the Texas A&M Veterinary Emergency Team (VET) have already been deployed to Butte County, California last Saturday.

September is National Animal Pain Awareness Month. As Dr. Cynthia Maro experiences, a lot of pet owners she encounters ask, “How can I tell if my pet is in pain?” To answer that question, here are a few signs of animals experiencing pain:

• Being less social from you and visitors like hiding.
• Decreased activity by sleeping a lot.
• Hesitation to go up and down stairs or jumping onto surfaces.
• Change in normal posture or gait – showing lameness.
• Changes in bathroom habits like pottying in no-go areas.
• Change in behavior – starts to be aggressive for no reason.
• Refusal to go for walks – pulls the leash back.
• Over-grooming areas on the body to the point of injury.
• Skipping or refusing meals – doesn’t come when called for meals.

“Take-it to” is the new command Kyla Lavender teaches the dogs at Aggie Guide Dogs and Service Dogs (AGS). The command’s purpose is to reduce the need for person-to-person contact by letting a service dog transport an object from one person to another. The initiative was made out of the goal to keep services available while reducing the chance of putting others at risk of viral transmission.

AGS has been on the A&M main campus in College Station since 1997. It is a student-run organization. Lavender, one of the AGS Dog Trainers said, “COVID-19 has really been hard on everyone, specifically some of our trainers and people with service dogs, due to the fact that they have had to adapt to a new lifestyle.”

Churches or any other places of worship in the United States are under no legal obligation to allow assistance animals inside. They can deny admittance of service and emotional support animals even when a person possesses proof of mental or physical disabilities.

However, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a clarified policy was posted to inform local leaders and the general public. The notice stated, “Bishops and stake presidents may determine whether to allow individuals with disabilities to use trained service dogs in meetinghouses.”

Service and emotional support animals remain unwelcome to temples. Individuals with special needs are encouraged to ask help from temple workers or go to church with their family members so they may be assisted.

Teaching a kid how to be charitable at a young age lays a foundation of philanthropy that will last an entire lifetime. Although it may be hard to teach them the idea that to give is better than to receive, it is never too soon to let a child develop feelings of altruism.

One way to teach kids philanthropy is to let them get involved with animals. This would work so well because children and animals are a perfect pair. Bring them to animal shelters while carrying pet food or supplies. Take them with you to local humane society gatherings. And lastly, teach them the importance of assistance animals and how to interact with them.

1,980 – that was how many steps it took for firefighters to reach the top of the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attack. To honor the deaths of those lost their lives and the sacrifices of the first responders, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center (NFMMC) has set up the 1,980-step fundraiser.

The aim of this fundraiser is to help non-profits such as animals at the Niagara County SPCA, engaging veterans, and volunteer fire halls who have been hit hard by the pandemic. “We thought of service dogs that were there on 9/11. That led to the animals at the SPCA, so we contacted them and they loved the idea and said they’d spread the word over their social media platforms,” said Mike Bevill of NFMMC. To learn more about the fundraiser, visit this site.

The lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is soon to be lifted after a few weeks. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced in a press conference that the state of Victoria will soon be easing restrictions on activities.

Included in the easing are businesses like pet grooming and beauty services. In order to adapt to the new normal, pet groomers will now be permitted in providing contactless service to their customers.

All the customer has to do is to drop their pet off at the grooming service venue and come back when the grooming is done. However, this will only be available for fixed sites, said Mr. Andrews.
