If you're a person who loves animals or lives with people who are "animal people", then chances are you've heard the phrase "adopt, don't shop" before. When you hear "adopt, don't shop", you probably immediately think that the reason pet adoption is great is because there are animals who need homes, but did you know there are more pawsome reasons to adopt a pet besides giving them a good home? Keep scrolling to see some of the other wonderful reasons to adopt a pet!

If your dog is a couch potato, they're probably fine with having a lazy rainy day indoors with you. But, if your dog is always on the go, waking up to rain can make for a very boring day in the house for them. Help keep you and your dog entertained indoors by trying out some of the ideas below! 

Some of our friends here at Beaches are over-the-moon for Howl-oween! Check out these paw-some and spooky costumes our furry ghouls and boys wore to get ready to carve pumpkins, dance with the skeletons to the Monster Mash, fly with the witches, howl with the werewolves, and go trick or (doggy) treating with their families!

If you've ever been into Beaches Pet Resort, you've probably heard of A Pets Pal, or seen cards and flyers for it. If you've ever stopped to wonder what those flyers were for or what they do, look no further because we have all the information for you! A Pets Pal is a sister company of Beaches Pet Resort. It is a professional pet sitting company designed for busy pet parents who can't always be home to check on their fur babies (or scale or feather or aquatic babies) . A Pets Pal was started in 1995 by Deborah Vitale (who is also the owner of Beaches Pet Resort!) after seeing a need for a professional pet sitting alternative to kennel care and pet boarding in the Grosse Pointe and St. Clair Shores areas. A Pets Pal's team of professional pet sitters go through rigorous training, are pet first aid and CPR certified, and specialize in various areas of in-home pet care. On top of providing your pet one-on-one love, care, attention, and endless ear scratches and belly rubs, their sitters are able to do medications, walks for dogs, and home care (such as opening/closing blinds and windows, taking out trash, grabbing mail, watering plants, and more). A Pets Pal is open 365 days a year, and is always there for their clients. They offer half-hour and hour long visits depending on what you and your pet's needs are (hour visits are great for walks for those dogs with tons of energy to burn off, or energetic cats who love to zoomie around the house with people!). They can also do multiple visits a day for those who need a little extra attention and care (and extra potty breaks). If you are having that well-deserved night out, A Pets Pal also offers overnight visits so your pet will have someone to cuddle with all night while you are out. Additionally, if you found out you have to stay late at work, or have to run out for supplies for a science project that's due tomorrow that your kiddo just told you about, A Pets Pal offers emergency and last minute visits, too! A Pets Pal is always there for when you can't be.
