Happy Furry Friday!What a furbulous day on this furry Friday! TGIF! Bernadette and The One Life Radio had a crazy full week, but we wouldn’t change it for anything! We love what we do! Everyone at OLR loves animals, so furry Friday is our favorite! Today, we have Maura Davies, Marc Peralta, and Alison Sawyer Current. Maura DaviesMaura Davies is the Vice President for Marketing &amp; Communications at the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) of Texas. As a longtime friend of One Life Radio, Maura is with us almost every Friday!Pet’s Paw PadsPet paw pads are the little beans that are on the bottom of your pet’s paws! Paw pads are hairless pigmented skin that is an overlay of fat and tissue. They can be rough or smooth depending on your “ruff” boy or girl, or your more calm companion. Animal paw pads can be compared to shoes with insoles. They provide traction, cushion, and help them walk more comfortably! Just like human feet, animal paw pads can get cuts, scratches, or even infections! Look out for packs, cuts, bleeding or swelling. Look for excessive licking on your animals feet. Bernadette suggests soaking your animals paw pads in epsom salt as a cheaper and holistic alternative! Just be able to always ask your veterinarian first before treating your pet holistically. Really be cautious of how hot the surface your dog is walking on. If the concrete or pavement is too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for theirs! Go for walks early in the day or later in the evening, but still feel the pavement. Look in to some dogs shoes to protect your furry friends feet! Check out this funny video of dogs trying to walk with shoes on for your daily laugh! Marc PeraltaMarc Peralta is the Senior Director of National Mission Advancement for Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. In addition to running lifesaving programs in partnership with nearly 3,000 animal welfare groups, Best Friends has regional centers across the country and operate the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Prior to joining Best Friends, Marc served as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as interim CEO for the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Financial Aid For Pet CareMarc says Happy Friday. Unfortunately the unemployment rate has skyrocketed. Best Friends wants to help pet owners and shelters as much as they can. From food pantries to rehoming, Best Friends is doing everything they can do to keep pets and families together. To apply for services and aide for their furry family member, reach out to your local animal shelter first. Even if the shelter itself can not Gove anything, they know who to connect you with. In times like this, do not be afraid to reach out to a friend or family member, or even nextdoor or facebook. Marc and Bern know how hard rehoming can be, but be proactive. Use your own circle first but don’t be afraid to reach out. Best Friends works with animal surrenders. Best Friends strives to be a community resource and an educator. People lose their homes and jobs, and rehoming your animal does not mean that you are a poor animal owner. The most responsible thing to do is to take the best action for your animal’s well being. Sometimes that means rehoming, and that’s not always bad. If you or someone you know is struggling financially with animal care, call 3-11 or 2-11 for community resources. Marc says every community is different. If you have even the smallest bit of extra money, please consider buying a bag of cat or dog food and delivering it to your local shelter. More Financial Aid Tips From Marc PeraltaFinancial aid can make a world of difference for pet owners who have fallen on hard times but love their animals. Marc Peralta and Best Friends Animal Society understands this.Credit Based
