In critical times like these, when we are drowning in incoming animals and running low on space, our non-profit animal rescue partners are typically first to reach out and ask how they can help.

Lately, over the last two years, they've also been experiencing the same slowdown in adoptions and decrease in available foster homes. They desperately want to support us and help us to avoid this unnecessary euthanasia, but they can't if they aren't receiving their own help and support.

To help our rescue partners, we're hosting a "Rescue Foster Call Open House" (think of it like a "Foster Fair" instead of a "Job Fair").

This Monday, August 12th at 6:30pm, the public is invited to meet, speak with, and learn more about almost a dozen of our fabulous animal rescue partners. With so many options, we know you'll find a rescue partner you'd feel proud to open your home and foster for. Your help will allow them free up critically needed space at WCAC and literally save lives.

Confirmed Rescues in Attendance (either in person or virtually):
All Animals Sanctuary & Rescue
Carolina Boxer Rescue
Cause For Paws of North Carolina
Doxie By Proxy Rescue, Inc.
Marden's Ark Dog Tales
Neshama Animal Rescue
Perfectly Imperfect Pups
Rescue Ur Forever Friend (RUFF)
Southeast German Shepherd Rescue
US Dog Coalition & Rescue

Location:
Wake County Animal Center

Raleigh, NC 27610

Time:

THIS IS COMMUNITY. 🏘
THIS IS ANIMAL RESCUE. 🐾

May is Lyme disease awareness month. Does your dog need the Lyme vaccine?

Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks and can lead to kidney and musculoskeletal problems. Ticks can stay alive long enough to still transmit the disease even with the regular use of flea/tick prevention. If you take your dog hiking or camping, or live in a heavily wooded area, then we recommend your dog receive this vaccine.

Stay one step ahead by protecting your furry friend with top-notch flea and tick prevention products. Keep them itch-free and happy all season long. By staying vigilant and taking necessary precautions, we can effectively manage these seasonal issues and keep your pets happy and healthy. Ask us how we can help!

Xylitol is very dangerous to pets and can be found in a number of different products. While chewing gum is typically the main cause of xylitol poisoning in dogs, this deadly ingredient can also be found in toothpaste, mouthwash, breath mints, and sugar-free products.

Does your dog need the flu vaccine? Take the assessment quiz: https://www.dogflu.com/pet-owner-risk-quiz

If you're planning on boarding your dog this holiday season or having them travel with you, NOW is the time to consider the flu vaccine. For pets that haven't received one, an initial flu vaccine is given, and then a booster 3 weeks later. Three weeks from now is about a week before Thanksgiving - can you believe it?! 🍂🦃
