We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the city of Oxford for allowing Calhoun County Animal Control to participate in their wonderful annual event, Howl-o-Ween on Main. It is an absolute honor to be a part of such a vibrant celebration that brings our community together in a spirit of joy and compassion.

Thank you to our dedicated staff of Calhoun County Animal Control for their hard work and commitment to the welfare of our animals. You have done an incredible job showcasing the wonderful animals available for adoption at our shelter. Your passion for these animals shines through, and it makes a difference in their lives.

But most of all, thank you to our community. Together, we have the power to make a significant impact on animal welfare. Events like Howl-o-Ween on Main remind us that when we join forces, we can create a loving and supportive environment for animals in need. Every adoption, every message shared, every foster and every conversation held today contributes to a brighter future for these deserving pets.

Let’s continue to work together to ensure that every animal finds a loving home and receives the care they deserve.

Thank you all once again for your support, your passion, and for believing in the power of community.

Halloween Pet Safety Tips 🎃🐾

As Halloween approaches, here are some important tips to keep your pets safe and stress-free:

Leave Pets at Home: With children running, screaming, and dressed in costumes, it can be overwhelming for pets. Candy on the ground also presents a risk for toxin exposure. It’s best to leave them at home for their safety.

Don’t Force a Costume: While some pets enjoy dressing up, many do not. If your pet seems uncomfortable, skip the costume to avoid unnecessary stress.

Keep Them Secure: Make sure your pets are safely inside, wearing tags. Close doggie doors and be cautious when opening doors for trick-or-treaters to prevent escapes.

No Candy: Keep all candy out of your pet’s reach, whether it’s what you’re handing out or your kids' haul. Many candies are toxic to pets.

Create a Safe Spot: Set up a cozy, quiet space for your pet with their favorite toy or treat. Whether it’s a room or their kennel, make sure they’re in a place where they feel safe.

Keep your fur babies safe this Halloween! 🎃🐶🐱
