🐾 You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. FOSTER.
Even fostering a dog for a weekend or a week can have a huge impact. It gives the shelter much-needed space, gives the dog a break from a stressful environment, and gives YOU an opportunity to experience different breeds, personalities, and needs without making a lifelong commitment.
Fostering isn’t just about finding a forever home. Sometimes it’s simply about being a safe place along the way. 💚
This Short is from Week 4 of our Pawsitivity Presentations, where we talked shelters, rescues, fostering & adoption with Rescue Pals of Fountain Hills.
🎥 Watch the full presentation on our YouTube channel: Pure Pawsitivity Official and Pawsitivity Presentations EVERY SATURDAY!
Foster. Learn. Love. Make a difference. 🐾

🐾 **What can our dogs teach us about being better humans?**

We had the pleasure of sitting down with psychologist, researcher, and award-winning author **Dr. Chris Blazina**, author of *Good Dogs and Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love*.

This conversation goes far beyond dogs. ❤️ We talk about love, connection, humanity, and that deep bond we share with our animal companions.

At the end of the day, we’re all searching for love and connection. Our animals have an incredible way of giving that love so freely and unconditionally. Maybe part of our purpose is learning from them and giving that same love right back, not only to our animals, but to one another.

This was such a meaningful conversation and one that fits beautifully with what Pure Pawsitivity™ is all about:

**Rewilding the human heart through the power of paws. 🐾**

🌿 NEW Pure Pawsitivity Podcast: GREG TILFORD | THE ANIMAL HERBALIST 🌿

What an absolute blessing this conversation was. https://youtu.be/leLwmOjFzOA

We had the honor of sitting down with ** Greg Tilford, renowned animal herbalist, author, educator, and founder/formulator of Animal Essentials** and it truly felt like talking with someone who speaks the same language we do.

Greg has spent decades learning from plants, animals, and nature itself, and sharing that knowledge with pet parents, veterinarians, and professionals around the world. His work is such an important reminder that herbs aren't some new wellness trend. **Plants have been nature's medicine cabinet long before humans ever put medicine into a bottle.** 🌱🐾

We talk herbs, animals, whole-body wellness, reconnecting with nature, and what we can learn simply by observing the animals around us.

This is one of those conversations we could have continued for HOURS.

🎙️ Take a listen, share it with someone who loves learning about natural animal wellness, and then keep learning from Greg through his Substack:

🌿 **The Animal Herbalist Gregory Tilford**

So grateful for Greg, his lifetime of knowledge, and his willingness to continue teaching and sharing it with the world.

Here’s to healthier animals, deeper connections, and getting back to what nature has been showing us all along. 🐾🌿

🌿 Why Are We Trying to Kill the Dandelions?!

After this conversation, we’re looking at this common little “weed” VERY differently. Greg shares some fascinating research surrounding dandelion root, cancer, and how it has been studied alongside certain conventional chemotherapy drugs. 🌱

Something growing all around us that humans continually try to eliminate… yet there is SO much more to this plant than most of us realize.

🎙️ This is only a sneak peek! Watch the FULL episode with Greg Tilford on our YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/leLwmOjFzOA

And definitely read Greg’s fascinating article:
Dandelion vs Cancer: Powerful Medicine from a Humble Ally

Keep learning. Keep questioning. Keep looking back to nature. 🌿🐾

🥩🐾 BIG NEWS for Arizona pets!

Pure Pawsitivity™ is officially the FIRST pet store partnering with Arizona Grass Raised Beef to bring their grass-fed & grass-finished beef to the pet community!

And this is truly ARIZONA LOCAL. 🌵

Their cattle are born, raised, and harvested right here in Arizona, free-roaming throughout their lives across millions of acres of Arizona ranchland, consuming native grasses, drinking water, and soaking up that Arizona sunshine. ☀️

Our freezers are now stocked with Way Better Raw Meaty Bones & Chews:

🦴 Whole marrow bones
🦴 Marrow canoes/splits
🐄 Raw beef tracheas
🐄 Beef tendon chews

These are real, whole-animal foods that provide naturally occurring nutrients, collagen, cartilage and connective tissue while giving dogs an enriching chew that works their jaws and helps naturally clean their teeth.

No unnecessary junk. Just clean, species-appropriate nutrition the way nature intended. 🐺

We’ve admired this Arizona company through their human meat markets, and we’re incredibly excited to bring this quality into the pet community and continue growing this partnership!

❄️ Freezer items are available in-store only.
Come see us in Fountain Hills, call ahead for an order, or ask about local delivery.

Week 3🐾 **Stress Goes Down the Leash**

What an awesome Pawsitivity Presentation this past week! We love seeing more people come out, including those who don’t have pets yet but want to learn **before** bringing one home. 💚

Stress affects all of us, and our animals are incredibly tuned into ours. The tightening of a leash, our body language, our energy… they feel it.

Sometimes helping our pets starts with becoming more aware of **what we’re sending down the leash.**

Join us every Saturday to learn something new at **4 PM** for another FREE Pawsitivity Presentation at Pure Pawsitivity™. Come learn, connect, and ask better questions. 🐾
