Consider donating to the Humane Society of Blue Ridge

Community
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving. It helps raise awareness of charitable causes and encourages donors’ generosity. 
We here at the Humane Society of Blue Ridge wanted to let you know that Giving Tuesday #givingtuesday is on November 30th this year, just a few days after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. 
Help us continue to save furry lives while enhancing the lives of our Human Kind at the same time!  Take a look at sweet kitty Opal who just found her new home, close by in Dahlonega!
In addition to your one-time gift, become an EVERYDAY HERO, and consider a subscription donation.
Why Give Monthly?   Donating Made Easy
Monthly giving means your donation is automatic and convenient.  While typically a small dollar amount that is manageable to fit into your budget, your donation has a big impact, as it provides predictable income and allows for better budget planning.
Be An Everyday Hero
Become a part of a community of regular donors.  You will receive benefits like discounts on event tickets and a special newsletter that allows you to see the direct impact you are making to the longevity of the organization.
Long-Term Impact
Your monthly donation allows HSBR to take a planned, long-term approach.  As an ”Everyday Hero” subscription donor you work side-by-side with us, making a long-lasting impact to the animals in our care.  YOU CAN DONATE HERE

Keep These 2 Things Away from Your Pets

Lifestyle

1) Chocolate

“Chocolate contains a naturally occurring stimulant called theobromine, which is similar to caffeine.  If enough theobromine is ingested it can be toxic to dogs and cats,” said Dr. Sarah Nold, staff veterinarian at Trupanion.

Trupanion traditionally sees a high number of chocolate toxicity claims around Easter.

Last year, in the month of April, Trupanion paid $31,757 in claims related to chocolate, flowers, jewelry, and other foreign body ingestions. This includes the fun-loving Labrador retriever who couldn’t resist the big bowl of chocolate and jelly beans he stumbled upon. After an emergency room visit and a $3,000 bill (covered by their Trupanion policy) the dog left the veterinary hospital a happy camper and was safe at home in time for Easter Sunday.

 

2) Lilies

Easter lilies are bright, beautiful, and a staple floral decoration in the springtime. However, lilies are incredibly dangerous to our feline friends. In fact, lily toxicity is one of Trupanion’s most common and one of the most expensive toxicity claims, with an average claim cost of $830.

The toxins impact the kidneys and often cause symptoms like vomiting, drooling, lethargy, and appetite loss. Cats can develop tremors or go into seizures, and ingesting even a small piece of a lily plant can lead to kidney failure and death. Every part of the lily plant is toxic and cats can get sick even by licking pollen off their fur or drinking lily vase water.

There are plenty of other options for those who want to bring some fresh flowers and plants into their cat-friendly home this spring. Look for some cat-safe flowers like roses, snapdragons, gerbera daisies, sunflowers, or zinnias. Many herbs—like catnip—and ferns are also safe for pets and can help freshen the house and keep things green.
