Scientists that study behavior say owning pets can make people feel better, stay active and can even 1reduce high blood pressure. According to numerous studies, there is a growing demand for pets by retirees. 2Currently 40% of retirement communities are pet friendly and the number is growing.
Our office has no plans for retirement but shares a love for our pets. Steven enjoys spending time with his dog Oliver, Gianna takes her high energy Aussie Annie on long walks every night, and although Andrea and I lost our beloved Tucker after 14 years, we get our pet-fix when we visit Jessica and Stig who have a sweet spaniel named Roo.
Our hats are off to two of our clients who, in addition to being devoted pet lovers, actively help animals in need through their 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.
PALS (People Assisting Lodi Shelter) – Founded in 2004, Nancy Alumbaugh is the current Director of the no kill organization established to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats. www.palslodi.org
3R Rescue - Founded in 2012 by Linda Palagi Lynn and Jack Lynn, this organization located in Winters, has a unique mission to help dogs get a second chance at life. www.3rrescue.org
We know many of you have pets who bring joy and special meaning to your life. We would love for you to share a photo of your pet(s) with us.
