August Message from Our Executive Director

Can you believe it’s August already? I love hot summer days so the weather we've been having this summer in the mid-Atlantic states is perfect for me.

July was such a big month for FLR. We brought our first chinchillas into FLR! We now have four, available females, one is the mother of the other three. We’ll adopt them out as two bonded pairs indicated on their web pages. See https://www.fierceloverescue.org/animals/browse?special=Available+Chinchillas for information on each one of these fabulous ladies.

All of our author pups found their forever homes and we couldn’t be happier. Our two little kittens (Aggron and Ash) are coming right along. Our Marketing Director has started giving them slightly solid food (actually, it's pretty mushy - just what they need at this stage in their development). We can’t wait to see how they grow. See https://www.fierceloverescue.org/animals/browse?special=Available+Cats for more information.

Lemondrop, our friendly cockatiel, is also waiting for his forever home. If you’re interested in adopting a bird, Lemondrop may be just the handsome guy for you. Also, Tom and Jerry (our bonded, sugar glider pair) are just the nicest animals. See https://www.fierceloverescue.org/animals/browse?special=Available+Sugar+Gliders for more information and their pictures.

As you may have seen on Facebook, we have started a series about the foster experience. We are capturing those posts on our website under the Education Menu/Findings of a Foster. If you are considering fostering and haven’t seen the posts on Facebook, take a look at this archive. The posts will give you a good idea of what it’s like to foster.

We’d like to recognize Crystal D’Andrea, our August Volunteer of the Month. She’s fosters for FLR and we are lucky to have as a her. Take a peek at her picture and bio in the right-hand column.

Like the other months in the year, August has many dates set aside for animals. To start, August is National Immunization Awareness Month.

A few of specific holidays that caught my eye include:

August 2–8: International Assistance Dog Week (https://nationaltoday.com/international-assistance-dog-week/)
Aug. 16: International Homeless Animals’ Day (https://www.pawzaar.com/blogs/news/41226244-international-homeless-animals-day).
Aug. 26: National Dog Day (https://www.dogtipper.com/national-dog-day-2). Check out the link for fun ideas of ways to celebrate with your dog.

I'll be back to chat with you again in September. Have safe and enjoyable rest of your summer -

Jennifer Yanavitch

Volunteer of the Month - Crystal D'Andrea

Crystal D'Andrea

I am a wife to an outstanding Air Force officer, a mother to two amazing children and two energetic fur babies! Road trips and family adventures summarize our life quite well. As a family, we love to travel and make the most of every moment. Any destination that involves water, I am there. My heart longs for sand between my toes and saltwater in my hair, but I will take a beautiful lake or river any day as well. I love any outdoor activity. Some of my favorite activities are camping, hiking, kayaking, skiing, running, photography, sight-seeing, and of course volunteering.

As an active duty family, we move quite often. Each duty location we, as a family, try our best to find multiple ways to become involved and volunteer within the local community. I am very grateful to have been connected with Fierce Love Rescue, here in Northern Virginia! I have greatly enjoyed being part of the journey for these beautiful creatures and help them on their way to find their fur-ever homes. It is such a pleasure to be part of a truly dedicated and hard-working animal rescue group. Thank you FLR, for all you do.
