Welcome to The Paw and Feather Plan's Blog!

WELCOME TO THE PAW AND FEATHER PLAN'S BLOG!

I am so grateful the seed was planted in my mind to start a blog for my business.

It only makes sense since: I love to write and am PASSIONATE about 'my other baby,' The Paw and Feather Plan LLC.

Why on earth do I refer to my business as 'my other baby?!'

Because, like a human baby, a business must be nurtured daily in order to grow.

And to nurture a business daily you must be passionate about your business... and that I am!

So, this blog is another tool in my toolbox, one I can use to nurture my business by getting the word out about the service we provide!
I also envision it becoming a helpful resource for pet owners on an array of pet-related issues.

I believe wholeheartedly the service we provide is vital for many pet owners and pets, around the country, and around the world. Therefore it's my God-given-duty to spread the word as far and wide as possible about what we do as: The Paw and Feather Plan!

Now, me and blogs... sometimes I get offtrack.

I'll try my best to stay the course here.

But please bear with me as, in a way, this is like the business's diary. ;)

And I couldn't be happier to have you along for the ride.

-Why Rescue Makes Temp Move Back to So. Florida (08-2024)

This blog title was so simple to type, much simpler than the process of bringing this planned move into fruition! ~And maybe 50 people read the rescue's blogs, it's certainly not a big audience, but still: even if one person reads it, and it helps that person and/or their pet, then it's worth it. Why The Move (broken down into 3 categories): 1.) For approximately 4 years I worked at Miami Dade Animal Services when I lived in Miami Beach the first time around (circa 2010), mostly via an ASPCA-grant-funded-position which was aimed at increasing our live release rate… which I did quite well, but boy it was a lot of work! Because of my time working in animal welfare while in Miami, I have some great rescue contacts there. And I’ve always wanted to get Paw and Feather Plan ‘rooted’ in South Florida… where the idea for this rescue was born. I know several individuals in a...

Policy Changes Affecting Individuals Requesting Rehoming Assistance from PAFP (changes do not affect our pet plan clients)

As of 01/31/2024 these are PAFP's new SOPs (last revised on 02/13/2024): -As PAFP currently has a hospice foster that did belong to a plan client, the rescue isn't able to take in other fosters at this time for the most part. -The rescue tries to pull/rescue pets from our high intake municipal shelter, Louisville Metro Animal Services, exclusively . The rescue pulls pets only when we have a confirmed, volunteer foster home for pets. -Any rehome cases we do take on will be charged a rate of $17/hour, and the ability to pay the $17/hour is not a guarantee we'll be able to 'say yes' to your particular rehome case. Additional Notes in Regards to these New Standard Operating Procedures: In a continued and consistent effort to remain as transparent as possible for the rescue's small-but-mighty following, I offer detailed explanations on the why of each of the above new procedu...

Do NOT Feed Your Dog Grain Free Full Time...

Unless you want to put it at direct risk of dying prematurely of heart failure. Yep, you read it right. There are no 'ifs, ands or buts' about it: Feeding Dogs a Strictly Grain Free Diet puts them at non-hereditary risk of dilated cardiomyopathy. Thankfully, Janine, a PAFP foster and adopter, enlightened me to this fact. Once Janine's 3rd whippet had late stage symptoms of advanced heart disease, she had reached her wits' end. Her first two whippets had succumbed to heart disease too. -And she just didn't get it: her dogs enjoyed top shelf dog food, Acana, had plenty of daily exercise, and regular vet visits. That was it : beloved dog number 3 was going to a veterinarian-cardiologist. -Enough with unexplained heart disease for Janine's dogs... and heartbreak for Janine! Janine's foster, June, that almost w...
