- Paco
🎉🐾 June Pet of the Month: Paco! 🐾🎉 Proudly loved by Doug and Heather
Meet Paco — an outdoorsy, big‑hearted guy who’s happiest when he’s soaking up fresh air or cruising around on a good car ride.
🌲 Favorite things to do together: Enjoying the outdoors and going for rides.
🏊 Does Paco enjoy swimming? Nope — he’ll pass on the water, thanks.
🧸 Favorite toy: Hard to choose… there are so many toys in his world.
🍖 Favorite treat: Bone marrow treats — absolutely irresistible.
🛏️ Favorite place to sleep: Right in bed with his humans and the whole “woof pak.” Everyone piles in, everyone’s happy.
🌟 Special talents: Not big on tricks, but he can get every dog in the neighborhood barking — a true community organizer.
🤣 Quirky or funny behavior: He loves to flop onto his back and kick all four paws in the air like he’s doing his own goofy little dance.
Paco brings joy, laughter, and a whole lot of personality to his family — and we’re thrilled to celebrate him this month!

Summer Parasite Prevention
Warm weather brings a spike in fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes — and the diseases they carry.
Why it matters:
* Mosquitoes spread heartworm
* Ticks carry Lyme and other illnesses
* Fleas cause itching, allergies, and can transmit tapeworms
Where pets pick them up: tall grass, river trails, campgrounds, and even backyards.
Keep them protected:
Stay consistent with your vet‑recommended prevention and check for ticks after outdoor time. ... See MoreSee Less
