he pet supply store formerly known as Pet Nutrition Center, in Encinitas, now has a new name, Pupolo- gie, and an updated website. Owned and independently operated for the past
six years by Denise and Brendon Clifton, the store is dedicated to educating and empowering pet parents
with the knowledge to make informed decisions about the products they choose for their companions.

Horses Available for Adoption
I
n today’s slower economy, horses are los- ing their homes at alarming rates due to
owner foreclosures, loss of jobs and income and rising hay and gas prices. FalconRidge Equine Rescue, a nonprofit equine charity in Valley Center, currently has several horses available for adoption. “Horses are America’s newest pet,” says co-founder Nicki Branch. “You do not have to ride them—you can take them for walks. That allows horses with lameness issues to find homes, too.” Branch adds that being around horses can improve the health of
individuals, lowering blood pressure and heart rates, while providing a way to get exercise. Branch encourages those interested in acquiring horses to consider adoption.
“We are looking for loving homes for life for our very special horses and have all breeds and ages available,” she explains. “Horses are rescued from private owners who need to re-home them due to financial issues; from abandonment, abuse and neglect cases; or saved at auction. We provide veterinary care and rehabilitation for the horses and adopt them out with contracts for life.”

Mined in deep sea beds in Canada, the new formula contains an extra calcium component that binds with heavy met- als like mercury and aluminum, so that these minerals can be flushed out in pets that eat large amounts of fish. With a mission to educate people about the benefits of choosing healthy alternatives to chemicals, Flea Free Or- ganically is dedicated to providing pet owners with high-quality, budget-wise alternatives to chemicals.
