Life with Odie

This crazy dog lady is back with a new story. I know, that’s all I seem to write about is dogs, dogs, dogs. What can I say? Small dogs, big dogs, all dogs — I love them all. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite. I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. There is nothing like being loved by a dog and them loving you back.

All cats must scratch

As we reflect on our Thanksgiving celebrations, all of us at the Central Aroostook Humane Society couldn’t be more thankful for the many supporters that we have, who do so much for the animals and our organization.

Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week of November 23, 2022

The snow and the cold weather has arrived. If we listen to everyone it is going to be a difficult winter.

Fido’s odd behaviors

Everyone who enjoys the company of a dog knows that sometimes dogs have strange behaviors. They may arrive in your life with the behaviors already in place, or perhaps they are adopted as a puppy and develop a behavior young.

Man’s best friend

Happy fall to you all. It has been a super beautiful one so far. The harvest has gone well and the temperatures have remained warm, so enjoy these rare days because before long we will be into the winter months, and we all know what that means.

We thought we would give everyone an update on IHOP the little kitten we took in with the paralyzed tail and foot.

Halloween safety for your pets

What a beautiful fall we are having. We hope you and your furry friends have been able to go on long walks enjoying all these “bonus days.” Even though the pandemic has put an unexpected cramp in most of our lives, we are all starting to get a glimpse of our past “normal” life reappearing. There will definitely be the usual ghosts, goblins and superheroes out on the prowl on Halloween night.

Hunting safety tips for pets

We are now into the hunting season, whether it is with guns or bows, hunting for birds, bear, rabbits, deer or any wild animal.

When pets go missing

Over the months we have seen so many pets that are missing and lost. We are grateful that our Facebook page is a wonderful tool for getting the word out about these pets that have wandered off.

Good Companions

Dogs are good companions for people of all ages, especially so if you’re older. Pretty much all the studies show that older people who live with pets do better.

Porsche and I recently made that very familiar trip to Florenceville, New Brunswick to see a veterinarian. Sadly, Porsche did not make the trip back.

A ‘Toast’ update

Many of you have been asking about our super popular “Toast to the Animals” celebration. After several COVID-19 cancellations and not being able to host this great fundraiser, we are finally ready to celebrate the animals once again and help support the Central Aroostook Humane Society.

Shy Pets?

There are so many types of personalities when it comes to pets. “Shy” is a word that some folks use to describe cats and dogs who are fearful. Many times this “shyness” is a fear of strangers, but it can also be fear of being picked up and handled, new places or sudden movements or noises.

Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week of September 14, 2022

The kittens just don’t stop! Yesterday, we took in a mom and four babies. One of those babies was injured. It is really hard to understand the amount of kittens coming through our front door.

Happy Rescues

This past week on the Central Aroostook Humane Society’s Facebook page, we asked everyone to show us some loved rescued pets. We said, “Share a picture and make our day.”

Cat tales

What a nice summer we have had so far. Hopefully the fall will be a good one, too. Before we know it we will start to see the leaves changing color, to the red, yellow and oranges that Aroostook County is so famous for.
