Wonderful to see Denver's Fox affiliate cover yesterday's Front Range Veterinary Medical Reserve Corps' pet evacuation exercise at Church Ranch Veterinary Center. We were honored to present on our PHaR - Pet Help and Rescue app at the event, which was also supported by animal protection divisions of both the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and the Westminster PD. Pet Help & Rescue is available NOW, for free, across the United States.

It's that time of year again!

Fall bird migration!🐦🕊🦅🦉🦆

This is when anywhere from 3 to 5 billion birds begin to prepare for winter by traveling to warmer areas of North & South America. The majority of the migration, 80%, is done at night in the dark.

We are asking individuals to please turn off outdoor lighting so the birds migrating at night do not become disoriented and collide into buildings. They can also become confused & exhausted from being drawn towards the light around large cities.

Help our precious migratory birds get to their destinations safely this fall!

Lights Out!

If you've encountered an injured bird or turtle on the road, you know all about the sickening feeling that washes over you. And if you've left an animal at home during these disaster-filled times, you know the unease you feel when shutting the door behind you. It doesn't have to be that way.

International Owl Awareness Day!!!

Here are a few fun owl facts:

- Owls have asymmetrical hearing. Meaning one ear is located higher up on the head while the other is much lower. It gives them impeccable hearing. Owls tend to hunt with their ears & not necessarily their eyes. This asymmetrical ear placement is incredibly helpful for hunting when the owl can not see.

-Owls have silent flight. This is another amazing adaptation that assists them while hunting. Their feathers have a structural modification that assists with air rushing over their feathers causing less micro turbulence, or less sound while in flight.

-Owls unfortunately can not rotate their heads around 360 degrees like many assume but they can rotate them about 260. They have this ability due to having 14 cervical vertebrae. Humans only have 7.

-Engineers have been studying owls for years to help reduce the sounds of helicopters, fans, & planes like the stealth bomber. (The Peregrine Falcon was also studied to by engineers for this particular plane)
