PET AND ANIMAL AWARENESS RIBBONS
Our one-of-a-kind paw prints animal awareness ribbon pins celebrate the life of a beloved pet. And they recognize the deep connection between animals and people. In addition, they raise awareness of medical conditions that directly affect animals. Further, they inspire people to foster animals for adoption.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Blood Donors / Veterinary Transfusion Medicine
Each year, blood donations save thousands of animals’ lives. For this reason, the need for blood products is just as important in veterinary medicine as it is in human medicine. In addition, pets with traumatic injuries and some medical conditions may require blood transfusions. Most importantly, as with humans, it is important to match the blood type and species from which the blood is derived.
Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Fostering an Animal
Every adoption organization has its own policies and procedures when it comes to fostering. Fostering is important because it helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens space to save other animals. It also helps prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality. Further, in foster homes, they can work to overcome fears or recover from trauma.
Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Rescue Mom/Dad/Family
Your adoption of a shelter or rescue animal encourages others to adopt. The value of fosters cannot be overstated. They can be lifesavers for pets who cannot adapt to shelter life, those who need to be nursed back to health and orphaned kittens who need someone to step in for their mom. Fostering also provides care when shelters are exceedingly busy.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Cancer Awareness
As with people, dogs and cats can get various types of cancer and the disease can be localized or generalized cancer. One type of veterinarian that deals with cancer in dogs and cats is a veterinary oncologist. A veterinary oncologist trains after veterinary school in oncology. Most oncologists, for example, have completed three to five years of this focused training. This includes an internship rotating through various medical and surgical specialties. In addition, they complete a specialized residency about cancer. Please see the story of our cat, Rook, by clicking here. A veterinary oncologist has treated Rook for mast cell tumors since he was less than a year old.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Diabetes Awareness
Diabetes in dogs and cats is a complex disease which is caused either by a lack of the hormone insulin or an inadequate response to insulin. After a dog or cat eats, his or her digestive system breaks food into various components, including glucose. Glucose is carried into the cells by insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas. When a dog or cat does not produce insulin or cannot utilize it normally, blood sugar levels rise. The result is hyperglycemia, which, if left untreated, can cause many complicated health problems for a dog or cat.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Cat Feline Leukemia Virus / (FeLV) Awareness
First discovered in the 1960s, Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a transmittable RNA retrovirus that can severely inhibit a cat's immune system. It is one of the most diagnosed causes of disease and death in domestic cats. Because the virus does not always manifest symptoms right away, any new cat entering the household, and any sick cat, should be tested for FeLV.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Heartworm Awareness
Heartworm is a parasitic worm that lives in the heart and pulmonary arteries of an infected animal. The worms travel through the bloodstream. In addition, they harm arteries and vital organs as they go. Ultimately, heartworms complete their journey to the vessels of the lung and the heart chamber about six months after initial infection. Furthermore, several hundred worms can live in one dog for five to seven years.
Spread by infected mosquitoes, heartworm is increasingly recognized as an underlying cause of health problems in domestic cats. Cats are an atypical host for heartworms. Despite its name, heartworm primarily causes lung diseases in cats. For this reason, heartworms are an important concern for any cat owner living in areas densely populated by mosquitoes.
Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Cat High-Rise Syndrome Awareness
Many pet parents eagerly open their windows to enjoy the weather during the summer months. Unfortunately, unscreened windows pose a real danger to cats, who fall out of them so often that the veterinary profession has a name for the condition - High-Rise Syndrome. Falls can result in shattered jaws, punctured lungs, broken limbs and pelvises, and even death.

Animal Paw Prints Awareness Ribbons for Animal Rabies Awareness
Rabies is a viral disease that affects the brain and spinal cord of all mammals, including cats, dogs and humans. Once symptoms appear, rabies is often fatal. Rabies continues to be a serious threat to the health of people and animals. Every year, about forty thousand people receive a rabies prevention treatment called Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) because they had contact with a potentially rabid animal.
More than ninety percent of all rabid animals reported to CDC each year occur in wildlife. The animals that get rabies the most are raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. However, most people in the United States get PEP due to close contact with domestic animals such as cats or dogs.

ADDITIONAL ANIMAL AWARENESS RIBBONS FOR ANIMAL ABUSE PREVENTION:
Purple Awareness Ribbons for Animal Abuse Prevention
Please remember to spread knowledge about animal abuse with a purple ribbon. The key to preventing animal abuse is education.

Purple Awareness Ribbons for Animal Protection and Welfare
People's concerns about animal welfare are normally based on the idea that we should take steps to maximize the well-being of animals, especially wherever we use or interact with them. In addition, this includes animals in the wild. And, for many, it especially includes those we keep as pets. Important, too, are those we use as entertainment or in research, and those that we use for food. The animal paw prints awareness ribbon pin can also be used to represent this cause.
Orange Awareness Ribbons for Humane Treatment of Animals
The orange ribbon recognizes at-risk animals. The orange ribbon also demonstrates your dedication to being an animal guardian. It also stands for adopting from animal shelters and rescue organizations. In addition, it highlights spaying and neutering animals to prevent homeless and unwanted animal populations. Lastly, it reinforces protecting and loving your animal for his or her entire lifetime.

Light Blue Awareness Ribbons for Spay and Neuter Pets
Spay/Neuter Awareness Month takes place in February. The purpose of this month is to encourage people to have their pets sterilized before the spring and summer months when there is a rampant overproduction of puppies and kittens. During that time, most animal shelters experience an unmanageable increase in animal intake. Spay and neutering helps to decrease those numbers and saves pets’ lives. The animal paw prints awareness ribbon pin can also be used to represent this cause.
