All of the members of AZ Pet Professionals raise enough
funds for 2 Pet Oxygen Masks. It was
such a pleasure to meet the Ladder 255 crew and donate these much needed tools
to the fire fighters.
While we were with them, we were able to get some answers to
our burning questions:
Q: What is the best
thing pet parents can do to alert the first responders that they have animals
in the house?
A: Captain Robert Foster – “First, I’d like to say
that we totally understand the theory behind the window stickers that say how
many pets are in the household. However, we don’t pay close attention to
those. It could be a sticker from a previous homeowner and the new owner
never took it down or it is inaccurate. The best thing a pet parent can
do is tell us they have pets that are still in the home. The worst thing
a pet parent can do is go back in to try and save their pets. We
understand that pets are our children and we care for them as much as our two
legged children, but let us be the ones to go back in and save your pets.
It’s our job to make sure you are safe and go in and make sure all other
living creatures are saved.”
Q: How can pet parents
help you do your job when it’s a medical related call?
A: Captain Robert Foster – “If the pet parents know
their pet is aggressive or overly friendly or barks a lot, the best thing they
can do is put them somewhere where they are out of the way. In another
room, outside…anywhere but right in our face. It can be difficult to
perform our job when we are clobbered with kisses or greeted at the door by an
aggressive pet that will do anything other than let us inside.”
Q: Do you REALLY
rescue cats stuck in trees?
A: ”How many times have you seen skeletons in trees?
Seriously, yes, we do rescue cats from trees. We got a call once
from someone who said this cat had been stuck in a tree for 3 days. It
wasn’t their cat, but they were tired of hearing it meowing.”
After the Pet Oxygen Masks were officially presented to the
station they were kind enough to let the AZ Pet Professional members (anyone
who wanted to) take a ride in the ladder of their big fire truck.
We thank the gentleman of Gilbert Fire Station #255 for
their hospitality and for all they do for our community. " Jenna Trethewey

I recently had the pleasure of being a part of a group of pet
professionals that presented Gilbert Fire Station #255 with 2 Pet Oxygen
Mask kits.
AZ Pet Professionals presented the 2 Pet Oxygen Mask kits on Saturday, June 29th at 9:00 am.
Before the presentation we had the pleasure of meeting the crew and I asked them a couple of
burning questions I just had to know the answer to.
