SUMMARY:October 1st - Preventative
DESCRIPTION:We have two brands of Heartworm preventative – \nInterceptor and Heartgard. Only one brand needs to be administered.  Most feed in the bowl with food for breakfast or dinner. \nwhy are these important? \nbecause heartworm disease is a serious\, potentially fatal parasitic infection that can cause irreversible damage to a pet’s heart\, lungs\, and other vital organs. The disease is spread by mosquitoes\, and while a positive outcome from heartworm treatment is possible\, the process is lengthy\, costly\, and can significantly impact a pet’s quality of life. Prevention provides a simpler\, more effective\, and more humane way to protect pets from this deadly threat. \nWhy do we have more than one brand?  Which should I use?  Either brand is fine\, usually it depends on what size is on sale or donated to us. \nWhy do you ask me what brand I gave on my puppy report if we only have two brands?  Well\, in case there is ever a reaction to the preventative sometime in the dogs life\, whether that is in puppy placement\, or in the future\, we can funnel down what the reaction was from.

SUMMARY:October 1st - Puppy Report
DESCRIPTION:Happy first of the month! Your puppy report is due today! \nPuppy reports aren’t just paperwork—they’re one of the most important tools we have to help each puppy succeed on their guide dog journey. \n\n\nTracking Progress: Reports give us a snapshot of how your puppy is developing. Every note about new skills\, challenges\, or changes in behavior helps trainers understand where the puppy is thriving and where they may need extra support. \n\n\nConsistency Across Homes: Many puppies will be handled by different volunteers\, staff\, and trainers. Reports make sure everyone is on the same page and working toward the same goals. \n\n\nSpotting Concerns Early: Even small issues\, like shyness\, chewing\, or hesitation in public\, can become big roadblocks later. Your reports help us catch those things quickly\, while they’re easiest to work on. \n\n\nCelebrating Wins: Reports are also where we get to hear about the exciting milestones\, first successful “down\,” walking calmly through a busy store\, or even just mastering house manners. These moments encourage everyone involved! \n\n\nShaping the Future Guide Dog: Ultimately\, the information you share directly impacts whether a puppy is ready for advanced training and able to meet the needs of their future partner. \n\nAccreditation: Consistent reporting is also part of maintaining our organization’s accreditation. It shows we are following best practices\, documenting progress\, and upholding the high standards expected of an accredited guide dog program. (IGDF)\n\nIn short: Your reports connect the dots between daily life in your home and the bigger mission of preparing highly trained service dogs. They give trainers\, coordinators\, and future partners the insight needed to help every puppy reach their full potential. SO Thank YOU! for all the hard work that goes into the puppy reports.

SUMMARY:Volunteer - OccuPaws @ The Good Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join OccuPaws at the “Good Exchange” \n•When: Wednesday\, October 8th\, 2026\, 9am–6pm \n•Where: Alliant Energy Center Expo Hall\, Madison\, WI \n•What it is: A free\, community-wide event where dozens of Dane County nonprofits set up booths so attendees can learn about volunteer opportunities\, board positions\, careers\, and ways to get involved locally. \n•Booth setup: Exhibitors set up between 7:00–8:30am that morning. \nWhy we’re there \nThis is a great chance to raise awareness about OccuPaws’ mission\, talk to the community about puppy raising and volunteering\, and hopefully recruit new puppy raisers\, sitters\, and supporters. \nHow you can help \nWe’re looking for volunteers to help staff the OccuPaws booth throughout the day (a 10’×10′ space with table\, chairs\, and tablecloth provided). If you’re available for a shift\, morning\, afternoon\, or the whole day\, we’d love to have you there! Bringing a well-mannered puppy-in-training to help draw attention to the booth is always a hit\, if you’re able. \nhttps://www.intentionalpurposeconsulting.com/goodexchange \n

SUMMARY:OccuPaws at Lodi Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The email from the Organizer – Sue & Ed Elder will be the point of contact for this event \nWe would like to invite OccuPaws to join us at the Lodi Farmers Market on Friday\, October 9\, from 3-6pm.

We are located in Ace’s grass lot at 902 N Main St\, Lodi.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:October 15th - Flea and Tick
