How to Have a Pet Friendly Valentine's Day
Don’t Let Your Animals Eat Chocolate – dark chocolate is especially toxic, but even milk chocolate in larger amounts can make your pet sick.
Don’t Let Your Animals Drink Alcoholic Beverages
Don’t Let Your Animals Ingest Sugar Substitutes - candy sweetened with xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar (known as hypoglycemia).
Keep Flowers Out of Reach of Pets – Many varieties of lilies are highly toxic to cats. Other potentially poisonous flowers may include tulips (especially if potted, as the bulbs are the most toxic), amaryllis, Calla lily, daisies, chrysanthemums, baby's breath. Safe alternatives include African violets, asters, camellia, Canna lilies, jasmine, orchids. As for roses, keep your pets away from the thorns as pets can develop serious infections from thorn punctures.”
Don’t Leave Unattended Candles Burning
Clean up After Wrapping and Decorating - balloons, cellophane, tape, ribbons, bows and other wrapping items or decorations can cause your pet to choke or become ill if ingested.
Don’t Surprise Your Valentine with the Gift of a Pet – UNLESS you KNOW your sweetheart wants a pet and is prepared to make a lifelong commitment. If you’re not sure, consider visiting your local humane society and purchasing a gift certificate. That way, you and your beloved can make a romantic trip to the shelter together and both choose your new best friend!

Kazi
Kazi is possibly a Retriever/Whippet mix. He is 1 1/2 years old, is housebroken, obedient and knows basic commands. He was surrendered because he would prefer to be an "only child". Kazi is a bundle of energy that needs an upbeat, active family to him lots of exercise and mental stimulation. He should have a fenced in yard and would prefer to live with children over the age of 5. He is food motivated and very eager to please his master.
Precious
Precious is a domestic shorthair, black and white female cat. She is 1 1/2 years old and has been at the shelter since July 31, 2009. Her owners surrendered her because they were moving. She is very affectionate, playful and friendly. She would do best as the only cat in the household. She's good with kids but because she has never lived with them we suggest children 6 and older. She has never lived with dogs but with a slow proper, introduction it could be possible. Given the chance, she would make the perfect housecat.
