Happy National Tell a Joke Day! Here’s a joke to make you smile: Why are dogs like phones?

Because they have collar IDs. 📱

National Check the Chip Day highlights the importance of regularly updating the information associated with the microchip. Contact details, addresses, and phone numbers can change over time, so it's crucial to verify that the information registered in the database is current. This small act greatly improves the chances of a successful reunion if a pet goes missing.

Good afternoon everyone. I sure hope your weekend was better than mine was! It went by so fast, I didn't even know it was here until my alarm went off this morning. When you work Saturday and back in the office on Monday...it's like "what weekend?!?" So frustrating...
Speaking of frustrating, we have had several of our clients mention to us about not being able to get through with their phone calls to the office. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience that it may have caused. With 6 incoming lines and only 2 dedicated ladies to answer them PLUS handle those that are in the building, they do get missed. We only check voicemails twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. And by all means, try your call again. I do want to remind those that are sort of tech savoy about our mobile app. It has been up and running for a few months now and through it you are able to make and even cancel/reschedule appointments that work with YOUR schedule. You can request refills on medications and you can even text us though it! We are hoping that it will help alleviate the number of calls that are not getting answered and the voicemails that we do not get to return in a timely manner.
Here is the link to download the app if you haven't already. It is super easy to navigate through, and you may be able to get a response from us quicker.

Hello Gordon County!!! I hope everyone is doing great on this nice Thursday afternoon. What do you have planned for the weekend? Lake? Beach? Quiet days on the couch? I am hoping to see the time float by in a pool!!
In honor of National Kitten Day, I just wanted to introduce our latest batch of kittens. These were left on our doorstep one Saturday after we had closed. Thankfully, we had someone coming by to feed and walk the boarders later that day. She walked up to a box of five. We have had to bottle feed them and get them healthy enough for adoption. If you are interested in meeting any of them, just come by during business hours and we will be happy to let you get acquainted. We want to make sure the kitten is a perfect fit for you and your household. The cost of adoption is $100 for the males and $125 for the females. This fee covers their vaccinations as a kitten, testing them for Feline FIV, Feline Leukemia, and heartworms, AND the surgery to either spay and neuter. This is at a discount of over $400. Give us a call at 706-625-3300 if you're interested, or pass the number to someone that is. Thank you and BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!

Edit: Owner located and headed home!!

This guy was found on/around Hightower and Mims drive about 15 minutes ago. We have absolutely no space in our office to house him and will have to have the City Shelter pick him up if his owners do not contact us soon. No microchip.

Good morning!! I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Just remember, the weekend is RIGHT around the corner! I did want to remind you about our mobile app we now have. It makes getting your pets vaccine and medical history so much easier and quicker. You have the convenience of choosing and making your own appointments. And even medication refills are just a few clicks away. Once we get the request, we fill them, and then we let you know that they are ready to be picked up. It's that easy!
Summer heat is slowly making its way here and that means to please remember your pets. If they are outside pets, make double sure their water stays full and clean. It can disappear before you know it. Shade is also very important. NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN THE CAR. Not even for a minute. If you have to, take that baby in the store with you. Try sitting in your car with the engine off and windows up. It gets HOT QUICK.
Ohhh, and for those that were wondering....yes, we still have kittens that need a furever home. If you cannot take 1 or 3, let your kitten lovin' friends know. THANK YOU.

We have launched our new reminder and online booking system! With this app, owners can have access to their pet's vaccination records, certain bloodwork, prescriptions, and up coming appointments.
You can also customize your personal to-do lists to remind yourself about giving preventions and medications, nail trims, refilling medications, etc. You can also text our office directly using our telephone number to contact us and send us photos should you need to!
We are still working some kinks out, but hope that we get the hang of it soon. Please make sure that the email you use for the app is the same is the we have on file so that your records sync up appropriately.

(The company has also been sending out introductory emails and reminders. If you receive one on a pet you no longer have, please text or email and we will mark them accordingly in our system. We apologize if these reminders bring up any sorrowful memories.)

Good morning y'all!! Who seen the Northern Lights last night?!? I am so jealous. I must have been the ONLY one that missed the wonderful sights! That is the only thing that I have on my 'bucket list' and I missed a FREE chance at it.. oh well.. maybe next time?

I do have something that I don't want y'all to miss and that is our NEW APP! It is compatible with the IPhone and android phones. On the app, our clients will be able to book appointments, receive copies of blood work results and vaccine histories. Clients can refill medications for their pets through it and we can text with you as well. With medication refills, they will be ready the next business day so make sure you have enough to make it through a weekend. Any emails or text messages we will send will be based on the information we have here in the office. So if anything has changed or you want to check on what we do have on file, please send an email to [email protected] or DM here on this page. It will be going live on Monday May 13. Please have patience with us as we take on this transformation.

Good rainy morning!! I hope everyone is safe and dry after the storms that rolled through last night. We are here, bright eyes and bushy tailed, for the most part.. we wanted to remind you of the little 7 week old kittens we have up for adoption. They are all males and negative for Felv and FIV. The fee for adopting them is $100. This covers the vaccines they will need until they are 4 months of age, the surgery to neuter, and pain medications. Even if you cannot take one, share the post with others and help get the word out on these little boys.
