KLCC s Brian Bull reports on what pet owners can do if their four-legged friend is terrified of New Year s celebratory fireworks.
Revelers know what the big explosions are, but Fido and Mittens don’t. If you absolutely
have to set off something more than a sparkler, Sasha Elliott of the Greenhill Humane Society has some advice for your cowering housepet.

“We recommend that you keep your pets inside, in a safe and secure room. I recommend adding some classical music, or your local public radio station, Elliott says. You can also try turning on the TV, but be mindful of what’s playing on it.
“I support OHR because they selflessly give and give, always putting the horses first that they take in and then ready for adoption. I adopted a horse from them 3 years ago and they continually made sure the transition to my place was safe and good for Jack Daniels. We donate monthly because horses need our help and always will.”

“As a nurse that works in the community, I support PPA because I have seen how much relief their services have brought to patients struggling with pet concerns while trying to deal with their own health crisis. People with grave conditions and their families often cannot attend to the needs of an animal too or need somewhere safe for their pet to go while they get a procedure or are hospitalized.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Oregon Humane Society in Portland has taken in 250 guinea pigs from an overwhelmed pet owner.
It s not known exactly how the unidentified person in Lane County became inundated with the furry little rodents, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. But experts say it can be difficult to determine a guinea pig s gender and they re best kept in pairs because they keep each other company.
