EXERCISE<br />
EQUIPMENT<br />
WITH FOUR FEET<br />
AND NO<br />
JUDGMENT!<br />
It is not too late to<br />
keep those New Year<br />
resolutions. Loving<br />
Arms Pet Placement is<br />
a foster-based rescue<br />
for dogs and cats and<br />
is always in need of<br />
foster families. We have<br />
small, medium and<br />
large dogs available<br />
for fostering. Without<br />
enough fosters, some dogs are boarded at a kennel. They would love to<br />
join your family and help you get more exercise.<br />
Tell Loving Arms Pet Placement rescue in what capacity you can help.<br />
Can your home only accommodate small dogs or can you foster big<br />
dogs? Can you take more than one animal at once? There is a lot more<br />
to fostering than providing food, water and a safe place to sleep. To<br />
attract potential adopters, the animal must be people friendly. Include<br />
the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Let your foster dog<br />
jog or walk with you. Visit a dog park and meet new friends. Get to know<br />
the dog as an individual so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes,<br />
anecdotes. Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible.<br />
Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted,<br />
please know that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/<br />
her forever home.<br />
Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement.<br />
com or visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529 each Saturday from<br />
11 AM until 5 PM. Start the new year with a new best friend and family<br />
member!<br />

SPECIAL PET SHELTERS<br />

cats hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to<br />
large dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from. We are<br />
a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to commit to<br />
adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need foster families.<br />

socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include the animal in your<br />
daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as individuals so you<br />
can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes. Treat the animal like<br />
your own and train him/her, if possible. Although you may feel sadness<br />
