🐾🌟🇺🇸 PLEASE PLAN AHEAD 🇺🇸🌟🐾

This week is the celebration of the Fourth of July. Please make sure you plan ahead and think of your animals first. 🐾❤️🌟

The week and days surrounding Fourth of July, with neighborhood fireworks, loud noises, and people going in and out often, are the times when pets are lost the most, and shelters become inundated with lost and missing pets.

Please take the time to make sure that your animal has a microchip, you can come to the shelter during open business hours and get a microchip for your pet for $15. No appointment is needed. Also make sure that there is a tag on their collar with contact information so they can be reunited with their families.
So many animals are scared of loud noises. Please create a safe space for your dog or cat or any animal during this time.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July holiday, knowing that your best friend will be safe and comfortable at home. ~ Shaei
