Demon cat demands attention (wait for it).

This little lizard jumped on me and started rubbing on my fingers. After some time I realized he was getting rid of his old skin. Mr. Tiny Lizard choosed me to be his “helping-hand” in this important Stage of his life and I feel very honored

Win. Win. Win. Win.

Leo, Hound mix (2 y/o), Thornton, PA • “Leo’s dad is in the Air Force, and is transferring to a permanent station in New Jersey while his wife and children are still in Virginia selling their home.” • "PACT was started because our founder, Buzz, was volunteering at a few animal shelters and saw an influx of veterans that were surrendering their animals because they had no one to take care of them during deployment. About a year into our organization we were contacted by a children’s hospital to watch a family’s dog while their child was in treatment, and that’s when we decided to start fostering for families with a sick family member as well. One story was a family with a 14-year-old that had to get multiple surgeries. They didn’t know what to do with their dog, and their son’s blood pressure actually sky rocketed the day before surgery at the idea of his dog being surrendered, so much so that they couldn’t perform it. Once they found our program they could fully focus on getting their child healthier without worrying about if their dog was safe. Whether it’s a person in the military or a family member that’s sick, PACT helps the person get through it knowing their dog is okay. We have our volunteers send photos and updates to the person so they can stay involved in the dogs life.”

It will never not be fascinating to learn how ocean animals sleep. From dolphins that turn off half their brain at a time to sharks that zoom to the surface and then power nap on the glide down so that oxygen keeps flowing over their gills, the snoozing sea is a magical place. But, you will just never guess how manatees sleep…
