What comes first – the pet or the house? We certainly can help you find the best home in the Edmond and Oklahoma Cty area for your family, but finding a pet is up to you.

October is Adopt a shelter Pet Month.

You’ll be amazed how loving and loyal these little pets can be and grateful to have a new family to run and play with. There are some great pets available now at our local shelter:

Dogs                            Cats

Speaking of October and Pets, with Halloween fast approaching, the Humane Society has listed some tips about this holiday and your pets:

• When going out trick-or-treating, leave your dog at home. Dogs can be easily excited by the Halloween commotion and a bite or lost dog will quickly end the evening’s fun.
• Keep your cats safely indoors. Cats are always safest inside with you, but on Halloween it’s especially important to keep your cats—and all other pets—in the house.
• Separate your pets from Halloween activities and trick-or-treaters, even in your house. Remember that masks and costumes change how people look and smell to a pet, so even familiar people may become frightening.
• Make sure that all of your pets are wearing tags with current IDs (and consider microchipping them). Opening the door repeatedly for trick-or-treaters creates plenty of escape opportunities.
• Keep candy out of your pets’ reach. Chocolate and other ingredients can be toxic to them.

Give your pets a quiet haven where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed.

• Be careful when considering a costume for your pet. Most pets are happiest wearing nothing but their birthday suits, but if you do choose a costume for your pets, forgo masks and make sure costumes are comfortable and don't pose a risk for injury.
• Decorations can be dangerous, so keep them safely away from pets. Candle flames can set fire to their fur. Hanging or dangling decorations can be an entanglement or choking hazard.
• Use fake cobwebs sparingly, if at all. Pets can choke on fake cobwebs set up indoors. Outdoors, fake webs may be a hazard to birds and wildlife.
