As pet care professionals, we want to help you understand your dog’s natural instincts—especially when it comes to behaviors that might seem unpredictable. One key concept in dog behavior is the predatory sequence, which is hardwired into their instincts. Even though our pets are domesticated, these behaviors can still surface in different ways.

Every year after Easter, rabbit rescues and shelters see a surge in surrendered rabbits and other small mammals. Research shows that 80% of bunnies bought as Easter presents die or are abandoned within a year. Many are even inhumanely released into the wild, where domesticated rabbits struggle to survive.

The past five months have been a whirlwind—navigating uncharted territory, building community, fostering resilience, and leaning on flexibility, understanding, and teamwork. Through it all, we’ve been incredibly grateful for our wonderful pet parent community, whose support has meant the world to us.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we’ve been focusing on the essentials—prioritizing mental health, cutting expenses while we recover, and continuing to provide professional, reliable, and compassionate pet care. 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our GoFundMe! Your generosity directly supported our team members, and they’ve shared how much those contributions helped them through the rebuilding process.
