April is Heartworm Awareness Month. A time to raise awareness about a serious but preventable disease affecting pets across the country. At the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA, we’re proud to partner with Mosquito Joe to help protect pets from the number one source of heartworm transmission: mosquitoes.
Bringing home an adult dog is exciting—and with a little preparation, you can help ensure a smooth, safe, and happy transition for everyone.
Before we can grow, we must be fed. This most basic of needs is universal and ubiquitous amongst all life; as humans, we break bread for many reasons — but first, we do it to survive. When survival is at stake, we put family first, and for most pet-owners, that includes pets; according to PetSmart Charities, 83% of pet parents struggling with food costs would skip their own meals before letting their pets go hungry. CASPCA’s mission revolves around these truths: that pets don’t exist “in a vacuum”, and that they are inextricable from the people who love them. To help pets is to help people. This is why we started our Pet Food Pantry program, and why we continue to invest in its success and expansion year after year.
