Ok, Friends, we have a huge request that will not cost you anything, but a moment. This adorable tiny puppy has been diagnosed with Parvo. She was found in the Belington area. She is hospitalized, on an IV, receiving meds, warming blankets, etc., but her temperature is dropping and it is not looking good. Please send your prayers and positive energy to this little cutie. We are praying she makes it through the night. ❤️

Every year, approximately 6.3 million pets enter U.S. shelters, and many are the result of unplanned litters.

Spaying and neutering can help lower the number of unwanted pets that lead to overcrowded shelters, hurting the chances of available pets finding a loving home.

If you need to schedule your pets spay or neuter procedure, please call us today.

🐾 Help us spread awareness on the benefits of spaying/neutering and share this post!

"Blepping," the adorably derpy behavior where your pet unintentionally sticks their tongue out slightly, can be a sign of something much bigger.

Have you ever seen a cat fall and land with perfect balance? 🐈Cats are able to land on their feet thanks to their ability called the "righting reflex," which allows them to twist their bodies mid-air to orient themselves for a safe landing. This is thanks to their flexible spine and a sensitive inner ear balance system that helps them determine which way is up during a fall.
