Delta Changes Pet Policy

For those of you you travel with your pet, listen up. Delta has announced that starting March 1st 2016 they will no longer accept pets as checked baggage. This will not affect your plans if your pup flies with you in a crate under your seat, but if Fido needs to be checked in a lot has changed. First, they will have to be booked separately as air cargo. They may be on a different plane than you and you will have to arrive 3 hours prior to their departure time.

October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Lets all remember to help our four legged furry friends that need a home by finding them a new home, volunteering your time to a local shelter, donating products and or money to your local shelter or to the ASPCA. Our Brainerd Lakes Area shelter is H.A.R.T. ( Heartland Animal Rescue Team) http://www.hartpets.org/  they have been adopting pets for almost 30 years. Many of us are unable to take any additional pets in to our homes, but hat doesn’t mean that we can’t help. HART is always looking for volunteers to help walk the dogs, care for the cats, foster care, special event help, animal transportation, and educational helpers. Many shelters are also very grateful for both monetary donations and donations of food, toys and treats. We also have a donation box for HART for both Money and products at Northland Pet Lodge
