<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gorgeous, sweet, well-mannered lady. Scarlett is a little surprised to find herself in a shelter, but she&#8217;s being brave &amp; hoping for the best, no fussing, and no barking, just sitting pretty. She came to us as a stray so we estimate her age to be 4 years old, and weight at 58.4 pounds. Available: 8/22/19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Scarlett is spayed, up to date on shots, de-wormed and she is available NOW</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Spice is spayed, micro-chipped, up to date on shots, good w/kids, other kitties &amp; dogs and she is avail able NOW.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spice is a gorgeous, friendly, sweet girl who has been at the shelter for a while. She just hasn’t had any luck. She came to us originally as a stray. She was adopted, but sadly returned because she sometimes didn’t use her litter box when she was anxious or stressed. She is 5 years old &amp; weighs 6.7 lbs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meet Whitney, a 31-year-old mortgage industry professional who lives in Falls Church, Va. Similar to many millennials; she is focused on her career, so for now, her 3-year-old dog, Lucy Goose, is her baby. And as with any good parent, it&#8217;s important to Whitney that her baby be happy in their family home. &#8220;When my dog is happy, I&#8217;m happy,&#8221; she confides.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whitney became a first-time homebuyer nine years ago when she was only 22 years old. She purchased a one-bedroom condo because it was cheaper than renting in the high-priced, Washington, D.C.-area Where she was living. With her family&#8217;s help, she bought a $165,000 condo using a 10 percent gift down payment ($16,500) and private mortgage insurance. Her monthly mortgage payment was $2,100 (yes, that was cheaper than the average rent!), and she lived there for more than six years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One month before she sold her condo, Whitney adopted Lucy Goose from a shelter. Although only a puppy, it was obvious the Labrador/Great Dane mix wouldn&#8217;t stay small for long. The single month Whitney and her energetic new puppy lived together in her tiny condo was challenging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whitney knew she needed a larger place but wasn&#8217;t sure exactly how much room she required. So she rented a townhouse &#8211; without a yard &#8211; in Arlington, Va., for $3,100 while she assessed the situation. It soon became apparent that a townhouse wouldn&#8217;t work either, so she started house hunting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This time, Whitney knew exactly what she wanted: a dog-friendly house with enough room to grow her family. She searched for a house with the following must-haves:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">* Big, fenced-in backyard for Lucy to run and play<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">* A doggy door so Whitney wouldn&#8217;t have to worry if she worked late and Lucy needed to go outside<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">* Nearby walking trails<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">* Proximity to dog-friendly establishments, i.e., restaurants, dog parks, etc.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">* Room for another furry baby and any future unfurry babies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It took Whitney one year to find a house that checked all her boxes. The house has four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. It sits on a quarter acre, and has a large fenced-in yard and a doggy door for Lucy, who has since grown to be a 90-pound, gentle giant. The house also has a nature trail behind it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But her dream house came at a steep price: $600,000.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fortunately, investing in homeownership early in life paid off for Whitney. She had $40,000 in equity from the sale of her condo and chose to make a low down payment of 5 percent ($30,000), using most of that equity. She was able to take out a high-balance conventional loan using private mortgage insurance to avoid having to put down 20 percent ($120,000). Her monthly mortgage payment is $3,800 &#8211; only $700 more than she was paying for the townhouse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They moved in last summer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And what does Lucy Goose think of her new house? &#8220;She is constantly happy,&#8221; gushes Whitney. &#8220;She loves going in and out of her doggy door, and I&#8217;ve caught her sunbathing on the deck. I sacrifice a lot for Lucy, but she is my baby.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of babies, Whitney is now engaged, and while she and, her fiancé Eric has no immediate plans to start having children after they&#8217;re married, it&#8217;s nice to know they&#8217;ll have room to grow their family.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then they can all sit, stay, and be happy in their forever home.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Barnaby is one proud pup that struts out on a walk and thinks he is bigger than he is.  He is happiest when he can roll around on the grass and scratch his back.  He also absolutely loves belly rubs and being with people. Barnaby will probably be cool with older children. He does get along with his kennel mates but can be a little bossy at times </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Barnaby will be best in a home that will provide leadership along with daily walks and an abundance of love.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Comet, our sweet little angel, is waiting to meet her forever family.&nbsp; Comet came in as a timid, scared kitty because her owner was no longer able to care for her.&nbsp; Comet has been an indoor cat who prefers some quiet time with the ones she loves.  She loves to cuddle up and purr when you hold her, but you can tell this little girl is stressed out in a shelter environment.&nbsp; Comet is about three years old and weighs six pounds, is up to date on her vaccines, de-wormed, and will be spayed before her adoption.  Comet is available now.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="text-align:right">(<em>Flea Control With Cats and Dogs</em>)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fleas are the most common external parasite of pets in North America. Fleas are small wingless insects that use their specialized mouth to pierce the skin and siphon blood from their host. When a flea bites, it injects a small amount of saliva into the skin to prevent the blood from coagulating. Some animals become sensitized to flea saliva and animals that are allergic can have severe itching and scratching from a single bite. Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common disease among dogs.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Current flea control products are primarily either oral or topical systemic treatments. Most of the products may be used for prevention as well as to treat existing flea problems. One group of products control fleas by interrupting their development by killing or stopping the maturation of flea larvae and eggs. These drugs are called Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). One common oral product used is lufenuron which is found in the Program® line of products which are administered orally in tablet or liquid form. Methoprene and pyriproxifen are also IGRs that are available as sprays or collars. The FDA shares regulation of these products with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Because even the same products from other countries have not been approved by these agencies, it is illegal to purchase or import these products for use in the United States.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently the most popular flea control products kill adult fleas (adulticide), are applied topically and work rapidly. Popular topical products utilize fipronil which is the key ingredient in Frontline® Top Spot and imidacloprid which is in Advantage®. The most popular product on the market, Frontline Plus®, utilizes both an adulticide and an IGR. An oral adulticide that is also available is nitenpyram which is in Capstar® and begins to kill fleas in 30 minutes. Frontline Plus also kills ticks which makes it the most popular product where ongoing tick protection is required.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Consult with your veterinarian to determine which flea and tick control products are best for you. The choice of flea control will depend on your climate, environment, your pet&#8217;s activities, and potential for exposure. However, with consistent use, it is almost always possible to control your flea problem. Using these products throughout the year typically will eliminate the need for regular insecticidal use. The following provide additional summary information on selected popular products.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Program from Novartis®</strong><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Program is available as a once a month pill or oral liquid suspension to be given with a full meal. Adult fleas that ingest Program&#8217;s key ingredient, lufenuron, produce sterile eggs. Program does not kill adult fleas so pets remain susceptible to fleas hatching and maturing pupa already present in the environment. Therefore, some time may pass before the all fleas are killed in an environment. In order to stop the life cycle, every animal in the environment must receive lufenuron. Pets should also be sprayed with an adulticide during the first week or two of starting Program.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Advantage from Bayer®</strong><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Advantage is applied topically on both dogs and cats and seems to be very well-tolerated by sensitive cats. Advantage kills fleas within 24 hours and 100% protection can be maintained for cats for 21 days and 90% protection can be maintained for dogs for 28 days. Advantage is susceptible to washing off so dogs that are active outdoors and dogs that swim or must be bathed frequently should be re-treated frequently. Up to weekly re-treatment is allowed. The imidacloprid in Advantage does not effect ticks, but K-9Advantix, with permethrin does. K9 Advantix is only labeled for once a month K9 Advantix is ONLY FOR USE WITH DOGS and MUST NOT BE ADMINISTERED TO CATS.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Frontline Spray, Frontline Plus And Frontline Top Spot from Merial®</strong><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Frontline Spray, Frontline Plus, and Frontline Top Spot comprise the market leading Frontline flea control product line. The fipronil in Frontline products is a broad spectrum insecticide available as a spray or topical. Fipronil works by binding chemically to the pet&#8217;s hair and is absorbed through the follicle by the sebaceous glands. As a spray, fipronil kills fleas at 95% for over 80 days after application on dogs and for 1 month with biweekly bathing. Frontline is labeled for puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks (10 weeks for Top Spot) and it is not washed off by bathing. Frontline is also affective against ticks. Some cats may show minor adverse reactions with high volume use of the alcohol based spray product which should be applied no more than once a month. Frontline Plus also contains the IGR, S-methoprene which inhibits the growth of immature fleas.<br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Capstar from Novartis®</strong><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Capstar is an oral tablet for dogs and cats that may be administered as young as 4 weeks of age. It offers extremely rapid and complete killing of adult fleas and is safe enough that the tablets may be used whenever fleas are seen on your pet as often as once per day. Capstar may be used in combination with an IGR to kill fleas immediately to compliment the long-term control of an IGR such as Program.</p>

Lucy is 4 months old, weighs 4 pounds, and is a total sweetheart. Come meet Lucy today.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph">Pets are awesome, they are always there for you, love you, and don’t care what people may think. If you’re ready to make your life a little greater, adopting a pet is one wonderful solution, because you will be taking care of another living being and get lots of love in return. And if you already made this decision but you still don’t know what kind of pet is perfect for you, I can give you some reasons to give cats a chance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cats are special animals, they are really different from dogs and other species. They are hygienic because they clean themselves constantly, but of course, you still have to bathe them, but not that often. They are also very independent, if you have a sandbox, it will be easy for you to train them, their instinct will help you with this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love felines and would love to have a tiger or a lion, adopting a cat it’s perfect for you, because no matter what size they are, all felines have the same nature. They all have this superiority ideation, thanks to all the years&#8217; cats have been living with humans, and how humans worshipped them (we still do in some ways).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think about how much space you have in your home, even if you only live in a small apartment, a cat will be happy with their sandbox and climber. They don’t need a lot of space to run, and cats are nocturnal animals, so probably most of the day they will be asleep. So if you don’t have much time in the day because school, or work, or any reason, a cat it’s a great option for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you ready to adopt this adorable animal? If the answer is yes, you should see if you want to have a female or male cat, because when they are adults the character they have is slightly different. Male cats mark their territory (kind of the same ways dogs do), and female cats are in heat seasonally. In the spring and fall, and they may go into heat several times during the season. But if you don’t want to deal with these gender issues there’s a solution: always remember to spay your cat, doesn’t care if it’s a male or female. Some investigations say that spaying cats will help them to grow healthier, and can prevent a lot of medical issues, in their lives; like some urine infections and even can help them to have a longer life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cats are amazing animals, adorable, intelligent, and funny. You will always have a good laugh with their craziness and clumsiness. If you still aren’t sure if the cats are the best option for you, think of how you interact with others, cats have some different social skills as other pets. Dogs are really social, and if you have some snacks on you, they will instantly love you. But cats won’t, yes, they will take the snack, but that doesn’t mean they already think you are their best friend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are not that social, and you like your own space, a cat is perfect for you. They like attention, but not too much. Cats like to be “in charge” if you ever interact with a cat, you know that they act like gods. Probably because we still treat them like ones. These animals are incredible, and they are more similar to us humans, as you can probably imagine. Each cat has a different personality to another. And they can get angry at you. But there’s something else with cats, even if it doesn’t look like, they are really empathic, but not like humans are. They have this 6th sense that we do not possess. When you’re sad or angry, they know, and know if they should leave you alone or stay closer to you.<br> Well, if this doesn’t make you give cats a chance, probably nothing will. But you should<br> see for yourself how great cats are as a companion.</p>
