United Angels

Update: Her owner has been found.

We are supporting the emergency care for this very special senior girl this morning at Sumner Veterinary Hospital. She was hit by a car and is pretty badly hurt this morning. Can you help us by sharing her photo in case she has owners out there who are missing him? She was picked up in front of the Kapowsin Ale House on Kapowsin Hwy. She was wearing a service vest, but does not have any identification allowing her family to be contacted. Please share this lovely girl and send your thoughts and prayers that she is going to be okay. Hang in there beautiful, we’re so sorry this happened. 💔

Good Morning, Angels! 😇

It’s Wellness Wednesday! Today’s topic is one of great debate... To express, or not to express, your pet’s a**l glands. 🥴

Have you ever observed your dog or cat schooching (yes, this is a word made up to describe this exact activity 😂) their bottom across your floor? They aren’t JUST scratching their butts....they are relieving pressure on their glands. If this happens only occassionally, your pet is likely fine and does not need assistance expressing his/her a**l glands. HOWEVER, if your pet does this excessively, bites at the area, or seems to be in pain, make sure to see a veterinarian to ensure the glands are not infected or abscessed. Read this article for more information!

Sometimes we see animals that have been abused and abandoned, which leaves us angry and sad that there are people in this world that could treat other living beings that way. 😢😢

Good morning, Angels! A little spin this week - Thankful Thursday from our pets’ point of view! Tell us what YOUR pet would say!
🐾❤️🐾

The Dog:
I’m thankful for - My new squeak toy. Yeah, I chewed it up in 10 minutes tops, but listening to that beautiful sound with each bite? That was priceless.

Messy kids. Every day when they eat lunch, I know I’m going to get at least one juicy morsel.

Laundry day. Mom just matched up socks and lucky me, one of them had a big hole in it, which means it’s tug-of-war time!

Oh, and cat food. I could do without the furball in the garage. But I have to say, her food is yum, yum, yummy! 🐶

The Cat:
I’m thankful for - My cat tree. I have a great view out the window AND I can hide from the vacuum cleaner up here. Win!

Catnip Toys. I don’t know what it is about those things, but I just can’t stop rubbing them on my face.

The Robot Litterbox. I wasn’t sure about this at first, but having something clean up after me EVERY time I “go” is just magical.

Mom’s lap. This is my happy place. 😻😻

Good Morning, Angels! 😇 Its Wellness Wednesday!

When considering when to spay/neuter your pet, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration. Gone are the days of spaying/neutering as babies - Through veterinary advancements, it’s been determined that our fur babies should be allowed to grow to a certain age depending on breed/size before having spay/neuter surgery. 🐾❤️🐾

Meet Lacey!

I know this is not something we typically do but this poor little baby girl was abandoned in the pouring rain and has been in a shelter local to me all alone. I couldn't just leave her there. I'm hoping we can all come together and help in healing Lacey.

Lacey has her 1st vet appt this coming Tues, 1/24, at Minter Vet in Gig Harbor. Donations can be made to this vet by calling 253 857 5460. Or to the United Angels PayPal account at:

Good Morning, Angels! 😇On this Thankful Thursday, we again want to say how grateful we are for all of YOU, our supporters. Without you, we would not be able to assist pets in need of emergency veterinary care! 🐾❤️

One of the ways that many of you choose to support United Angels is through the AmazonSmile Charity Program. Unfortunately, Amazon announced yesterday that this program is coming to an end on February 20, 2023. 😭 In their statement, they said:

"To help charities that have been a part of the AmazonSmile program with this transition, we will be providing them with a one-time donation equivalent to three months of what they earned in 2022 through the program, and they will also be able to accrue additional donations until the program officially closes in February."

That being said, if you would still like to support United Angels in our mission to assist pets, we have several other ways to donate including various fundraisers that we run throughout the year. Thank you all!! Love, The United Angels team

It's Wellness Wednesday! One of the questions we hear a lot is whether or not having insurance for your pet is "worth the cost." Unfortunately, no two pet families are the same! While having insurance to cover unexpected medical costs for a active young dog prone to clumsiness may be beneficial to you, it may not make financial sense to maintain coverage on your older dog that spends the majority of the day curled up on your couch. 🥰

This article provides pros and cons to having pet insurace for your furry family members and may help you decide whether it's right for you! 🐾❤️🐾

Today, we are highlighting the mental and emotional wellness that our animal companions bring to US! Check out this sweet story about a shelter dog that kept escaping the shelter to spend his time at a nursing home across the street! 🥰🥰

Today, we are talking about 💩💩💩!

Recently, one of our supporters had to take her cat to an emergency veterinary clinic because he started acting strange and being wobbly on his feet. Xrays showed that he had an intestinal blockage and likely had not defecated for 3-4 days! Luckily, with some hydration, stool softeners, and laxatives, her kitty was able to pass the blockage and is on the road to recovery.

Here are some tips to gage your pets health by making sure their 💩 is healthy too! 🐾❤️🐾

What Your Pet's Stools Say About Their Health Do you favor the rapid swoop-and-bag approach to picking up your dog's stools or scooping cat litter? Although most pet owners would rather not prolong contact with their pet's f***s, sneaking an occasional peak can provide valuable clues about your furry friend's health and habits.

NEED HAS BEEN MET
THANK YOU EVERYONE
Bear is home and not liking his new attire.
He will need to go back a couple more times for drain and stitch removal but is on the mend.
😇 ❤️ 😇 ❤️ 😇 ❤️ 😇 ❤️
9:45 PM UPDATE
STILL NEED ABOUT $800
Well it turns out that Bear had a few more lacerations and the vet thinks that it may have been a larger animal instead of a coyote. He had a cut on his head and his other rear leg.
He will likely be ready to go home soon.

‼️ ‼️ BEAR NEEDS OUR HELP ‼️ ‼️

As you may know, Aperyl has been missing her dog, Bear, in Thurston County for the last several days and has been absolutely devastated. There had not been one, single sighting and Bear’s family was losing all hope.
Well today he was found in someones’ yard and unfortunately is injured.
He is presently at Olympia Veterinary Specialists being seen for what OVS feels is a major coyote bite. He has a 3” gash on his rear leg that has penetrated the skin and muscle, a large knot on his head, and is slightly bleeding from his mouth (photos available upon request).
The estimated cost is $1,771.40 - $2,434.26 and the family needs help to pay the bill.
