🐾 October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! 🐾

Every year, thousands of loving dogs in shelters wait for their forever homes. This month is the perfect time to shine a light on adoption and the incredible difference it makes — both in a dog’s life and in yours. 💙

🏡 When you adopt, you’re not just giving a dog a second chance — you’re gaining a loyal companion who will fill your home with unconditional love.

How you can help:
✔ Consider adopting a shelter or rescue dog
✔ Spread the word about adoptable pets in our community
✔ Support local shelters through donations or volunteering

Together, we can give more dogs the happy, healthy lives they deserve. 🐶✨

Today we honor the children who never came home from residential schools and the Survivors who continue to live with their legacy, along with their families and communities.

Between 1831 and 1998, 140 federally run residential schools operated in Canada—the last closing just 25 years ago. This history is recent, and it calls on all of us to listen, learn, and reflect on the experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

We invite you to wear orange on September 30 to remember and to stand in solidarity.

🐾 Our clinic will remain open to care for your pets while we pause to reflect and remember.

Today is World Rabies Day, and we’re highlighting the importance of early action and strong surveillance to protect both people and animals.

In Alberta, bats are the most common reservoir of rabies, but the virus can spill over into other species. That’s why testing and monitoring are so important.

The CFIA Rabies Laboratory in Lethbridge plays a key role in Western Canada’s rabies surveillance. Each year, it tests around 700 animal samples using the Rabies Fluorescent Antibody Test (RFAT) to detect the virus. Additionally, Alberta’s Rabies Testing & Surveillance Program helps organize and track animal submissions when rabies is suspected, ensuring quick results and public health response.

If a pet or other domestic animal is exposed to a potentially rabid animal, contact your veterinarian immediately. Domestic animals exposed to a potentially rabid animal should receive a rabies vaccine within 96 hours of the exposure.

If you are bitten by an animal, or if you come into contact with a bat or a potentially rabid animal:

- Wash the bite, scratch, or open sore with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.

- Contact your doctor, your local public health office (albertahealthservices.ca) or Health Link at 811 right away. They can advise you on what to do next.

Rabies is deadly - but it’s also 100% preventable. Talk to your veterinarian about the vaccination of your animals. Awareness and quick action make all the difference.

Today is and this year's theme is "Act Now: You, Me Community,” marking the first time in its 19-year history that the theme does not include the word "rabies," showing how well-established this movement has become. Whether you are an individual, part of an organization, or a decision-maker, the time to act is today. Here are some key takeaways from our "Rabies in the U.S." infographic.
🔵 In 2023, rabid animals in the U.S. totaled 3,760 - an increase of 5.1% from 3,579 in 2022.
🦇 Bats were the most frequently reported rabid animal in the U.S. in 2023. Over 1/3 of animal rabies cases in the U.S. in 2023 were bats.
0️⃣ Human cases of rabies in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in 2023.

Remember, the best way to protect your animals from this deadly disease is through vaccination and to keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. Learn more at avma.org/Rabies.
