In honor of National Diabetes Awareness Month, Pappy from Best Friends Rescue in Los Angeles is the Pet of The Month. Pappy is an 8-year-old male terrier/chihuahua mix with diabetes. He may be small and weigh only 13 lbs., but he has a huge heart and loves everyone, and I do mean everyone. He loves dogs, cats, and people of all ages. He loves going for walks, being carried (in a baby Björn), snuggling, and like all pets, loves taking naps. His foster parents say he has great manners and a sweet happy personality. No wonder he is a staff and volunteer favorite at Best Friends.

Pappy is an amazing dog. The only reason this little guy hasn’t been snatched up is that he is diabetic. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize that pets, just like humans, can live long healthy and happy lives with diabetes. Pappy’s diabetes is well controlled with twice a day insulin shots and a special diet. For more about information about diabetes in pets check out my latest blog Diabetes in Pets: Do You Know the Signs?

If you think you have what it takes to be Pappy’s fur-ever home, please contact Best Friends to meet Pappy.

You may recognize this week’s Pet of the Month. Dinah, from Best Friends Rescue in Atlanta, joined me last Friday on The Weather Channel to talk about Winter Pet Safety Tips. Dinah was the perfect TV dog! She didn’t mind being dressed up, and wasn’t afraid of the cameras or meeting new people. In fact she seemed to love being held and all the attention! She was also great with her canine co-star Goodman.In case you missed her TV debut….click here to watch her in action!

Best Friends Rescue of Atlanta reports that “she was found as a stray and unfortunately never claimed by her owner. She is 3 yrs and while she’s shy and quiet at the Best Friends Adoption Center, she’s friendly with her four kennel mates. She seems to prefer lounging on her bed more than playing with her kennel mates. But outside of the center….she really comes out of her shell (as we saw at the studio). She walks confidently on a leash, loves to do a belly crawl across the floor and enjoys playing with human friends. She rides perfectly in a car and enjoys watching her surroundings outside the window. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle by her human’s side or in their arms where she feels safe, secure and loved. ”

Don’t miss out on the chance to have an amazingly sweet dog who loves to cuddle and hasn’t let fame go to her head! Contact Best Friends Rescue of Atlanta to learn more about how you can meet Dinah!

*****Update 12/6/18- GREAT NEWS-Dinah has been adopted!
