Meet the Spokesanimals: Tracker the Hound

Image
 Meet our newest Spokesanimal, Tracker the Hound! Tracker the Hound is a 3-month-old saddleback Bloodhound, the latest addition to the Spokesanimals of ASL Solutions! He's a real charmer. Everywhere he goes, people exclaim how sweet and cute he is. Tracker is very observant of his humans and loves to cuddle with them. Attention, being petted, and being loved on make Tracker a happy pup. Tracker enjoys his Palace Nursery. Tracker has been growing extremely quickly. His ears are so long, they fall into his water dish and get soaked. When he's sniffing something on the ground, his ears fold up on the ground, too. (This is extremely cute.) He's definitely getting used to how quickly he's growing     his coordination will soon catch up to him! When he was really little, he'd sit and wait patiently for the leash to go outside, but now as he's getting older, he's gotten more rambunctious and gets super excited to go outside, and doesn't want to sit still for ev

Interview with a Veterinary Receptionist

Image
Ever wondered what it's like to be a receptionist behind the desk at a veterinary clinic? We interviewed a receptionist, Rainey, a woman in her mid-twenties from Middle Tennessee, to find out. Image by Cedric Fauntleroy from Pexels When did you start working as a receptionist at an exotic animal veterinary clinic? "I started working here in the Fall of 2022. I got into this because I used to petsit a lot, but I moved abroad to study for a semester. I realized that I felt like something was missing when I was over there     I missed being around animals. I'd been pet-sitting so frequently in the States that once I was without it, I realized how much it meant to me. So I found another job where I can work with and help animals. Also, after a year working here, there's the option to be trained in as a vet tech, and I would love that."

Save the Claws & Paws Animal Rescue

Image
The nonprofit Claws & Paws Animal Rescue Center in Olney, Illinois is currently in need of your help! The old storefront A rescue in crisis Claws & Paws Animal Rescue is an animal rescue in Olney, Illinois. It is financially supported by running a thrift store. Unfortunately, the building the resale shop is in (and where most of the animals are housed) was just sold. They have to be out by October 1st of this year. Without the thrift store, there's no money to continue running the rescue. The owner of Claws & Paws , Shelley Brinkley, bought a plot of land and a new building for the animals with her own money, but the building isn't big enough for the resale shop too. Claws & Paws has started a  GoFundMe , a Paypal, and a building fund at First National Bank in Olney. Their goal is to raise $25,000 for the new building, and they're trying to get the 40 x 40 store constructed before wintertime. Ready for a new home! About the rescue Claws and Paws Animal Resc

Summer 2023 Product Launch: Cat Palace, Palace Nursery, and Calming Beds, Oh My!

Image
ASL Solutions has been cooking up some surprises for a long time, and we are excited to finally be able to share them with you! Welcome to our Summer 2023 product launch. We are releasing a new line of products dedicated to our feline friends: the Cat Palace, the Palace Kitten Nursery, and completely revamped, faux fur beds for each size of Palace. Cat Palace Gray's got a pretty sweet setup. If you've got outdoor cats, the Cat Palace is just the thing for you. Some folks worry about whether or not their cats will learn to open the insulated swinging door. But there's good news! Cats can absolutely be trained to do just that. Gray, for example, was easily motivated by placing fresh tuna inside the house, and from then on he understood how it worked, and now he comes and goes as he pleases from his new Cat Palace. The stylish purple door is also pretty sweet. Gray exploring his new digs. Palace Kitten Nursery Who wouldn't want to curl up in there? We are so excited to sha

Interview with a Professional Dogwalker and Petsitter

Image
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a professional dogwalker or petsitter? We interviewed Rainey, a woman in her mid-twenties living in Middle Tennessee, to find out. Rainey walking one of her clients, Rainey When and why did you first start walking dogs? "I started dogwalking and dogsitting when I was a sophomore in college, or maybe just before I started, in 2018. I started because I needed extra money. It's kind of the ideal job, spending time with dogs and getting paid for it." How did you determine your rates? "The first house I dogsat at, they gave me their price, so I used that as a basis for every other house. Then a bunch of people kept telling me "Your price is too low", and I realized that first house kind of cheated me, and I didn't know because I hadn't done it before, and I needed the money. They paid me $40 for staying overnight. Then I raised my price to $80 for a night, and people told me it was too much, but I found a r
