Sponsor Spotlight - Lynn Rosario & Velocity Community Credit Union

Among the stars lighting our path is Lynn Rosario, alongside the remarkable team at Velocity Community Credit Union. Their profound dedication and generous contributions have been a beacon of hope for countless animals in need. It's not just about financial support; it's about a shared vision for a better world for our furry friends.

Lynn and Velocity Community Credit Union have been instrumental in the success of our flagship events, including the "Wag Your Tail Off Charity Gala" and the "Golf Fore Paws Tournament." These events have not only raised essential funds but have also spread awareness about our cause far and wide.

Moreover, Lynn's commitment extends to the heart of our organization—our team. By sponsoring "Lunch and Learn" sessions, she has opened doors to invaluable learning opportunities, enriching our team's knowledge and enhancing our impact on animal welfare.

From the depths of our hearts, we extend our gratitude to Lynn Rosario and everyone at Velocity Community Credit Union for their unwavering support.

Pet Tip of the Month: Navigating Florida's February Climate

Florida's mild winters offer a unique set of conditions for pet care, and this February is no exception. Here are some tips to ensure your pets stay safe, hydrated, and happy during this time:

• Hydration is Key: The Florida humidity can be deceptive. Ensure your pets have constant access to fresh water, and consider adding ice cubes to their bowls to keep them cool and hydrated.
• Sun Protection: Our state's abundant sunshine requires careful attention to sun protection for our pets. Provide shaded areas for outdoor activities and use pet-safe sunscreen on exposed skin to prevent sunburn.
• Pest Prevention: The warm climate means pests are always a concern. Stay vigilant with flea, tick, and mosquito prevention to keep your pets safe from these threats and the diseases they carry.
• Watch for Overheating: Even in February, the warmth can become intense. Monitor your pets for signs of overheating and ensure they have plenty of breaks in the shade. Be mindful of hot surfaces that could injure their paws.

Florida offers endless opportunities for enjoyment with our pets. By taking these precautions, we can make the most of this beautiful time of year while ensuring the well-being of our beloved companions.

As we continue to navigate the joys and challenges of pet care in Florida, we're reminded of the importance of community, compassion, and proactive care. Let's make this February a month of love, care, and adventure for our pets, as we strive to create a safer, happier world for them in the Sunshine State.

Together, with the support of individuals like Lynn Rosario and organizations like Velocity Community Credit Union, we move forward with hope and determination, committed to the welfare of every animal in our care. Thank you for standing with us.
