Noms is a playful, clean, and incredibly entertaining companion. She is happy in her enclosed area, but, her absolute favorite time is her nightly run, where she binkies with pure joy before flopping down on the floor or even joining her foster family on the couch. Noms is such an easy bunny to care for and provides endless laughter with her playful antics! She loves kids and her foster’s 15-month-old can pet her, give kisses, and they even share their toys. Sweet Noms has been waiting for her furever home for SIX MONTHS now, and we have no idea why because she’s such a sweetheart–truly a wonderful bun.

Summer Heat Safety

This hot weather shows no sign of slowing down, so it’s important to remember to keep your pets safe while the temperature climbs!

Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their heartworm and flea & tick protection, make sure they have access to plenty of clean, fresh water, and be careful of leaving your pet in hot temperatures. Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle where temperatures climb quickly, and also be careful of going on walks as well if the asphalt or cement is too hot. If it’s too hot for your hand to lay on it comfortably for a while, it’s too hot for your pet’s sensitive paws. There’s also lots of ways to help keep your pets cool too, like providing them with frozen treats, cooling mats, fun water toys like kiddy pools and sprinklers, or even going for swims! Make sure to always watch your pet while they swim, and life jackets are great, especially out on the lake!

Stay cool out and safe out there with your furry friends!

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
