Our goal of keeping an owner and pet together during the long and often unpredictable course of AIDS means that the pet must be in good health, well fed, and clean. We know that without our intervention in many cases, pets would go without food, become seriously ill from lack of medical care, or simply languish in unsafe, unhealthy conditions. PAWS North County plays a unique and important role in the AIDS community since it is the only organization which recognizes and meets the needs of pet owners and their pets. You can drop off food and supplies for PAWS North County at Alcala throughout the year. Also, any food, toys, or supplies left at Alcala from boarding are given to PAWS North County .
Pets are naturally curious, investigating everything in their domain.
Part of the investigation process requires chewing or dismembering plants and other items, and possibly ingesting the remains. There are many plants commonly found in most landscapes that present a hazard to your pet and should be removed. Plants have developed protective mechanisms through genetic evolution. Some of these mechanisms include thorns or barbs, toxic substances in their sap, and stinging or irritating materials. Toxic plants are those which have an inherent property that tends to destroy life or impair health.
