Adopt Baby Girl!
Look, up in the sky! It's a bird 🐦… it's a plane ✈️… it's Supergirl! Wait, no… it's Baby Girl! 😍
Baby Girl is a one-year-old pittie mix on a mission to find her furever home, where she can zoom around faster than the speed of light, saving the day with her playful antics and bringing smiles to everyone she meets. A super good girl, this pretty pittie knows "sit" and will take treats ever so gently. Her Kryptonite? Love and attention. 😉
Interested in meeting Baby Girl and becoming HER hero? 🦸 Come to the ARC and fill out an adoption application weekdays, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. or Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Aug. 27 Heat Advisory | Hot Weather Tips
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for our area in effect from noon today to 8 p.m. tomorrow. Make sure your furry friends stay safe with the following information:
Heat stroke and heat exhaustion are very real and serious risks for dogs in hot weather! 🌡️ Keep your furry friends safe by ensuring they have constant access to fresh water and shade from the sun. If you have to run errands and your dog cannot go inside with you, leave them home - temperatures get deadly hot in a parked car. 🚗
Knowing the signs can save your dog's life:
- heavy panting 🥵
- rapid pulse 💓
- glazed eyes 👁️👄👁️
- staggering gait 🚶
- vomiting 🤢
- a deep red or purple tongue 👅
If you notice any of these signs, get your pet out of the sun immediately and begin applying cool (not cold! 🚫🧊) compresses. Once you’ve started cooling them off, get your pet to a veterinarian ASAP, even if they seem OK.

June 2024 License
Did you know more pets go missing around the Fourth of July than any other time of the year?
Don’t let your pet be another statistic – make sure they are licensed and microchipped. Aside from being the law, if your dog gets loose and is wearing their license, that signals to folks that they have a family that is looking for them. ❤️ Learn more about licenses and microchips by visiting our website at https://mcanimals.org/resources/dog-licenses/.
Additionally - if your pet is not already chipped, bring them by the ARC! We will microchip your pet for only $10; no appointment needed. Just stop in with your furry friend Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. or Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and let our staff know you're here for a microchip. We'll take care of the rest, including registration, at no extra cost. 😁
