Free microchips for your pups.

Did you know that Tuesday, April 23rd is Lost Dog Awareness Day? In order to get more stray dogs back home and out of shelters, we will be offering free walk-in microchips to Ingham County residents on Tuesday, April 23rd. No appointment is necessary. You can stop by anytime during our normal business hours that day (10:30 am - 5:00 pm).

Please note that we will only be offering free microchips for dogs on that day. If your cat needs a microchip, we will be having a free cat vaccine clinic on Wednesday, April 24th from 10:30 am - 1:15 pm.

“If temperatures are below 20°F near you, Dr. Coates warns dogs can develop hypothermia or frostbite. You should bring outdoor dogs inside during these bitter cold stretches, and keep bathroom breaks short.”

As a loving pet owner, it’s important to pay attention to your furry friend’s needs and behavior and take appropriate measures to keep them warm and comfortable during colder months.

Open!

The Soldan Dog Park is now fully open! We appreciate your understanding during the closure. We are working to see if there is a solution for future years to help combat the blue/green algae.

The Soldan Dog Park is fully OPEN! We continue to monitor any potential algae blooms daily. If a portion of the Dog Park must be closed at a future date this fall, we will post here on Facebook.

Thank you for your patience as staff has been busy cleaning up the mess the storm left behind.

It’s going to be hot this week.

02/01/2023

Keep this in mind this week, it’s freezing out there.

12/24/2022

Keep your pups inside and limit their time outdoors. It’s freezing out there.

Temperatures are going to drastically decrease in the next few days due to the winter storm that is coming. The temperature is predicted to be below 20 degrees. Animals can develop hypothermia or frostbite if left outside in these conditions. We STRONGLY encourage all animal owners to bring their animals inside to keep them safe and warm.
