Choosing a color for a #pet is often a difficult question, right up there with the pet’s personality or the logistics of keeping a given pet within our homes. As reptile breeders hone and refine their ability to track and mix genetic combinations, the potential for new color and pattern combination may well be effectively infinite.

October is #AdoptADogMonth and there are a million good reasons to consider adopting a dog. Each year, an estimated 3-4 million animals waiting in shelters for someone to give them a safe, loving home never find a hero to adopt them and, tragically, are euthanized. If you’re thinking about getting a #dog, be a hero and consider adopting a rescue #animal or a dog from your local shelter. You’ll be saving a life and greatly improving yours! #InstaDog #DogLover #iLoveMyDog #DogLife #DogLove

#DeafDogAwarenessWeek is the last full week of every September. Deaf #pets, like other special needs pets, make wonderful furry family members. Their deafness in no way reduces their potential to bring joy to your life and become a loving companion for your family. Many #deafdogs have white coats. Dogs born without pigment are also missing "hearing cells". These "hearing" cells start from the same stem cells as pigment-producing cells. If a #dog has no pigment in its body, it’s likely that it will also be deficient in the specialized “hearing” cells which cause deafness. #DeafDog #DeafDogAwareness #DeafPuppy #DogLovers #DogsOfInstagram
