🎆🐾 This holiday weekend is one of the busiest at HSPPR, with many pets going missing. While the weekend is fun for us, it can be terrifying for pets. Loud noises, bright lights, and crowds can cause fear and anxiety. Let’s keep our furry family members safe with these tips: 1️⃣ Keep pets away from fireworks: Fireworks can cause anxiety and injuries. Exercise pets before the fireworks and don’t bring them to displays. Secure fences and bring cats inside. 2️⃣ Create a calm space: Set up a quiet room with familiar items and use white noise or soothing music. Give them project toys to focus on. 3️⃣ Mind chemicals and food: Monitor BBQ items like lighter fluid, charcoal, and foods that can harm pets (e.g., alcohol, chocolate, onions). 4️⃣ Keep vet info handy: Have your vet’s and an emergency clinic’s contact info ready. 5️⃣ Tag and chip: Ensure your pet has a collar, tag, and updated microchip. Let’s keep our pets safe this July 4th! 🐶🐱❤️ #PetSafety #July4th #HSPPR #HumaneSociety #PetCare #LostPets

Last week, we held the annual signing of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Statement of Support.    The Statement of Support Program is the cornerstone of ESGR’s effort to gain and maintain employer support for the Guard and Reserve. The intent of the program is to increase employer support by encouraging employers to act as advocates for employee participation in the military. Supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the Nation’s Guard and Reserve units.

Every month, we'll delve into the significance of our core values to our team members. This month's focus is on Stewardship.
