National Foster a Pet Month
June is National Foster a Pet Month, a time dedicated to temporarily opening your home to shelter animals. Fostering provides crucial space in overcrowded facilities, gives animals socialization, and directly prepares them for permanent adoptions.
How to Get Involved:
- Short-Term Fostering: You don’t always need a long-term commitment. Many shelters offer “weekend adventure” or short-term fostering to give pets a break from kennel stress.
- Foster 50 Challenge: You can participate in the nationwide Foster 50 Challenge running through July 31, which helps fund rescue initiatives across all 50 states.
- Covered Costs: Shelters and rescues typically provide the necessary supplies (food, crates) and cover all medical and vaccination costs while you foster.
- Dallas Pets Alive!: Apply to foster dogs and cats, and view their increased availability for foster supplies.
- SPCA of Texas: Open your heart by providing short-term or long-term care for healthy pups or pets with medical needs.

☀️ Summer PickCooling Mat for Extra Large Dogs
Self-cooling pressure-activated gel mat — no electricity, no water, no refrigeration. Wipes clean and helps pets regulate body temperature indoors after walks or yard time. A go-to for seniors and overheat-prone breeds.
☀️ Summer PickPortable Dog Water Bottle
Leak-proof, one-handed bottle with an attached drinking tray — squeeze to fill, release to recapture the unused water. Perfect for walks, travel, and summer outings when hydration can't wait.
☀️ Summer PickWalking Dog Canteen Travel Kit
All-in-one canteen kit built for hikes, road trips, and long summer walks. Leak-proof design with a built-in drinking tray for easy, mess-free hydration anywhere you take your dog.
☀️ Summer PickDog Booties for Hot Pavement
Texas asphalt can hit 140°F+ on a 90°F day — hot enough to burn paw pads in seconds. These breathable summer booties protect against hot pavement on midday potty breaks and walks, especially for seniors and sensitive paws.
☀️ Summer PickStainless Steel Pet Water Fountain
Many pets — especially cats — drink more from moving water. This stainless steel fountain encourages higher water intake to fight summer dehydration, a smart pick for multi-pet households and pets prone to drinking too little.
☀️ Summer PickDog Cooling Bandana
Soak it, wring it, and tie it on — evaporative cooling that helps reduce overheating during outdoor walks, hiking, patio time, and sporting events. Best used alongside proper hydration and shade.
☀️ Summer PickElevated Cooling Dog Bed
A raised mesh design lifts your dog off hot ground and improves airflow underneath to keep them cooler outdoors. Especially helpful for large breeds, thick-coated dogs, and backyard lounging.
☀️ Summer PickPet First Aid Kit
Summer emergencies happen fast. This Adventure Medical kit covers the essentials — gauze, vet wrap, tweezers, saline wash, and an emergency info card — so you're ready for cuts, stings, and overheating on the trail or at home.
☀️ Summer PickDog Life Vest
Not every dog is a natural swimmer — even the ones who love water. A snug, high-visibility life vest with a grab handle is strongly recommended for lakes, boats, pools, and paddle boarding all summer long.
☀️ Summer PickPet-Safe Sun Protection Spray
Yes — pets can get sunburned. This pet-safe sun protection spray shields exposed skin, especially important for light-colored pets, thin-coated breeds, hairless cats, and dogs with pink noses.
☀️ Summer PickDog Paw Balm
A protective wax balm that shields paw pads from hot pavement, rough trails, and dry summer air. Pairs perfectly with booties for sensitive paws and helps soothe and moisturize cracked pads.
