The Atlantic Hurricane season started June 1. Are you ready?
|
|
"We have had some active hurricanes in our area in the past few years, so it is vital to prepare for your entire family, including the pets, in advance of hurricane season,” said Dr. Christian Broadhurst, senior staff veterinarian at Clay Humane. “With just a few simple actions, you can help ensure the safety of your pets if disaster strikes."

|
Hurricane preparedness tip number 1: Create an emergency kit.
Pack a pet first-aid kit, a three or four-day supply of your pet's food and medications, bottled water, feeding dishes, litter and / or disposable garbage bags and extra leashes and harnesses. Also remember to pack photocopies of your pet's medical records and pictures of your pet(s) in case you are separated. Bring a spray bottle filled with water for birds' wings. Carry a sturdy bowl for reptiles to soak in and ample bedding for small animals like hamsters or guinea pigs.

Local Jacksonville realtor supports Clay Humane

The Keller Williams real estate agent donates 25-percent of his commissions to local charities
|
Clay Humane was the lucky recipient of $2,400.00 donated as part of Giving House Charity, the brain child of real estate broker Ryan Winter. Ryan created Giving House to make it easy for potential givers to transition into generous donors with a win-win opportunity.
Our business model is simple says Winter “We will donate 25% of net real estate commissions when someone buys or sells a house with a Giving House Realtor in Jacksonville or anywhere else.”
By donating a portion of real estate commissions to charities, Giving House Realtors, like Ryan, are able to support causes that they care about while also earning tax deductions. In turn, many charities benefit by gaining new funds and, hopefully, new lifelong supporters. Ryan’s hope is that the people assisted through excellence in real estate can help the charities that they're passionate about grow to new heights in this giving and winning scenario.

What should you do if you find a bunny nest?
|
|
Eastern Cottontails reproduce throughout the spring and summer, typically starting in mid-March and nesting through mid-September. They build shallow nest of grass and fur in grassy areas near bushes or trees and often right out in the open. You many be surprised that a rabbit would build a nest in the middle of a yard, but it is quite ingenious because most predators will not venture into an open space.
