Sturgill Simpson once sang that we’re all “living to die/ dying to live/ no matter what you believe.” We suppose it’s true- every culture, religion, and people has a thought system on living, dying, and what happens when earthly life ends. Sometimes it’s a belief being offered that there’s nothing on the other side; other […]
Sometimes it’s a great thing that we’re in a modestly-sized city; other times, we wish we were bigger. Or smaller. Whatever the case, it’s important to have eyes and ears open to what’s happening in places around the country, big and small. With over 500 cases in California already this year, canine influenza has been […]
Each year, the Humane Society of the United States, as part of its campaign against puppy mills, publishes its list of the worst 100 mills in America. The list is always popular and used for a variety of things. For our purposes here (promoting adoption), we’re sharing the list to illustrate the dreadful conditions that […]
On May 28, 2018, authorities responded to a fire in Wood River, NE, at Prairie Chesapeakes, a dog breeding facility. The puppy mill is operated by Mark Greisman, a name that appears on the Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) 2018 “Horrible Hundred” list, an annual report that highlights the top 100 worst puppy mills […]
Sidney/Chappell, NE, about a seven hour drive west of Omaha, is feeling a little larger this week as the state’s largest-ever trap-neuter-release mission takes place. A family in the area had reached out for help as 100-150 cats, most feral, were becoming too difficult to manage. Among the humane organizations helping to spay and neuter […]
Jefferson, Iowa, a non-descript town in the western-central part of the state, has made national and international news lately, which is surprising. The news it made was also a bit shocking- Jefferson police officers have been addressing the issue of feral cats by shooting them. Feral cats are a threat to ecosystems, so an intervention […]
We always have our fingers on the pulse of the local pet community and keep an eye out for national stories that are important to us all as animal lovers. Sometimes, though, our interest is piqued by some content that’s not all that newsy, but just plain fun. Charles Hardy from www.pawpawlover.com recently shared with […]
The world is changing every day, and do you know who is usually to blame? Kids these days. “This generation” is usually the culprit according to our community elders (who once were referred to by their elders as those kids). Millenials are the target for current attacks these days and here are ways these kids are affecting change […]
Volunteers at educational groups like our pals at Bailing Out Benji are doing some great work for animals sold in pet stores. Often, the job of Bailing Out Benji and others (like us here at Pets in Omaha) is to fill the public in about where the cute puppies in the cages at pet stores […]
Sometimes folks name their kids or pets something super weird (by common standards). Whether it’s to gain attention, to try to set their little ones apart, or because they like drugs, weird names come about. In this tumultuous time, we’re glad for the comic relief. Here at Pets in Omaha, we report on the most […]
