Second Harvest of Silicon Valley’s Post

Great piece from PBS on the rising cost of adopting and caring for a dog. This is one of the factors to consider before becoming dog owner and is something we at the American Dog Society can help owners plan and budget for. It best to understand and know the cost of dog ownership prior to adoption to ensure the dog remains in their new home and will not be returned to the shelter. https://lnkd.in/gsJcjgWv

As we continue to explore the City Service Areas in the Year in Review video series, Chapter 3 focuses on Neighborhood Services. City leaders share how we are working as One Team with the community to combat vehicle blight and assure cleaner neighborhoods; how the City encourages youth to be future leaders; how the San José Public Library provides free community WiFi to 200,000 households in under-connected neighborhoods; and how the Animal Care and Services Center staff provide services to residents and cares for thousands of animals every year. Don’t forget to come back for Chapter 4! #WeAreSanJose #SanJose

You never know when life will give you a little shake-up. While the #earthquake of 2024 may have subtly rearranged some furniture or paperwork, it's a good time to check on the infrastructure. As an #actuary, infrastructure means your #pension & #OPEB plans. It's a good time to review that investment policy, funding policy and other issues to ensure you don't have a catastrophic event. #shakennotstirred

For those who are new to my network and my content, here's a bit about my passion, my purpose, and my mission... In July 2020, I founded Lesley Osborn Canine Consulting to provide education and guidance on fostering, adopting, and caring for adult, senior, and special needs dogs. My company’s preeminent goal is to empower people to provide loving forever homes to rescue and shelter dogs. The focus will always be the “QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES.” I have shared my life (and it’s a long one) caring for rescued adult, senior, and special needs dogs by providing them a forever home in my home—a safe, secure place I call GREYSETT. Now I offer my knowledge and expertise to anyone—whether you’re looking for a first dog, adding another dog, or just need some advice about your present canine family. I provide proven and practical solutions for the issues dog parents may face. Integrated into my company are my passion, mission, and values: ■ Our Passion — Helping people save dogs from neglect, abuse, and abandonment. ■ Our Mission — Educating people on how to adopt dogs and provide them with forever homes the first time. ■ Our Core Values — • Never Perpetuate Their Pasts • Be Their Solution • Canine Families Are Forever! I believe the bonds between dogs and "their people" improve each other's lives—physically and emotionally. #lesleyosborncanineconsulting #dogsarefamily 🐾💞🏡 #justasklesley #doglovers #humananimalbonds #caninehumanbonds #emotionalsupportdogs #storytelling #author 🖋️ #TiaTalksBook - available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all booksellers.
