One of the dogs scheduled for tomorrow is lost up in the Seneca area near the roundabout at the intersectiok of rt 43 and 60. Please be on the lookout up in that area! Her name is Ellie, a recent rescue so she is probably unfamiliar with the area.

Thanks to the dedicated volunteers at the I’m Your Huckleberry Spay Neuter Clinic, we have a total of 19 days of surgery scheduled during the month of July and August. Who would have guessed this little startup right over the Missouri line would be so popular! Now the ask…
We feed our 12 volunteers a light lunch( no 5 course meal) each day and we could use some help with this. You might not be able to be able to help in the clinic but this is volunteering too!
The gang is always up for the usual make your own sandwhich, pizza, casserole, or crock pot meal. Fruit salad or some little sweet makes them happy too. If you would like to help us, here are the days we are working.

Please comment below with the date you’d be willing to provide a lunch!

Also for anyone who volunteered to help in the clinic, a message was sent via messenger to you about two weeks ago. If you are available tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday, please drop by at 5265 s highway 71 b( that is the plaza across from Dollar General) so we can get you a tour to see how we work. We are also looking for active folks who would like to learn recovery! It’s a great way to put nursing or caregiver skills to use by loving on our furry friends. Drop by and we’ll show you the ropes! Hours 9-3 plus or minus.

Ps. Jericho is from a home with 48 dogs. Adoption ready.

Here is the direct link for anyone who would like to order online. For anyone local, feel free to drop off any brand/size of food at our clinic, 5265 S highway 71-b next Tuesday or Thursday. We’ll be sure to get it to the dogs in need. Many thanks.

Unfortunately there is a horrible number of dogs being abaondoned in our area. 5 of which we are seeking help to feed. With around 40 dogs in our care, we are constantly going through food & need your support to help all those that we can. Larger bags of dry adult dog food would be most beneficial at this time. Does not have to be an expensive kind. If you can help us, please visit this link to our amazon wishlist & you can ship directly to us.

We are officially in the Dog Days of Summer, a period known as the hottest days of the year from July 3 until August 11. While our July calender is quite full, we just opened up 11 days of surgery for August. We encourage you to get your dog appointments in right away because dogs will very often have another heat cycle in August/September and drop a litter in October or early November. The cost of that surgery will save you much more than what it will cost for food, never mind unwanted pups and the havoc they create.
See our about section above for the scheduling link.
Mark the date on your calender and please put the money aside. No shows or cancels less than 24 hrs in advance are subject to a $20 rebooking fee, no exceptions.
No breeders are eligible to use our services.
Our priority for scheduling will be pups or dogs of mixed heritage/ large breeds that fill our shelters. If you have questions, please ask.
We are here to help solve the pet overpopulation in our area. Dogs should be at least 3 months old for surgery and we recommend surgery by the end of their 5th month.

Proof that microchips work. Remember they are only $10 at our clinic, walkins accepted 9-12 any day we are open. Often dogs seem to not be wearing their collars with ID so a chip is the go to for getting them home in this situation.

This little pug girl was found in Noel , a long way from home . Disappeared from owners yard , 6 weeks ago .
LUCKILY she was microchipped.
This morning she was reunited with her family and boy was she pleased to see them !!’
PLEASE microchip your dogs !
Low cost is available at I m Your Huckleberry Spay and Neuter clinic ! 😊

With the big booms coming soon, we realize that many folks do not have identification on their pets. Here’s an easy way to get them home if they run off during festivities. A collar, painters or other water safe tape, and a permanent marker are all you need. Remember now is the time to check fences, get a kennel set up in a garage, find their favorite music to cover up the big bangs and work on possible medications. Contrary to popular belief, Benedryl does not have the same sedation effect on pets as humans. Some people report good success with otc CBD oil or melatonin and of course consult with your veterinarian for difficult dogs. Do not let your dogs outdoors outside of a fence without a leash. Just when you think the fireworks are over, here comes another and the dog is gone. Same goes for cats; keep them indoors please.
Jericho is our model and he just happens to be available for adoption thru our clinic. He is fully vaccinated neutered, family friendly, gets along with multiple dogs in two foster homes, got schooled by a spicy cat and is 3 years old and 36 lbs. A perfect sized low maintenance dog who is very loyal; he would fit into just about anyone’s household.
Will you help us get more dogs home during this week of celebration and noise by sharing this post?

For our cat trappers out there. We also suggest Kentucky Fried Chicken!

Did you know that at the beginning of the year we made a goal to fix 2,500 animals in 2025? With June coming to an end, we've wrapped up our 2nd quarter and are thrilled to announce that we are projected to far exceed that objective!

OUR NUMBERS:
Q1 2025 - 275 dogs, 420 cats (695 animals)
Q2 2025 - 437 dogs, 542 cats (979 animals)
Total - 1,674 dogs & cats in 6 months!

Most of these pets are local to McDonald County - a whopping 697 of them, comprising 41.6% of our total patients. But the rest of them are coming from far and wide to prevent litters. We've seen patients hailing from 76 different towns in 20 counties across 4 states (Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma & Kansas).

What these numbers suggest is that affordable spay/neuter services are in growing demand. So many people are realizing that the one-time cost to spay or neuter their pets is FAR cheaper than to care for and rehome litter after litter of puppies and kittens. We're honored and grateful that they chose us to provide these life-saving procedures!

We're taking a brief surgery hiatus and will be back to spaying and neutering on Tuesday, July 8th!

A day of joyous work. How can we possibly thank the dedicated volunteers and staff that show up for every clinic day? They come to be a part of something great; it fills us from deep within knowing that we are accomplishing what needs to be done to eliminate suffering for our companion animals and to relieve the pressure on our shelters and rescues. 57 animals took the no more litter pledge today and two other dogs were treated for heartworms. A busy day with nonstop action from the lobby to the recovery area and sanitization room. These pets are well attended as our Yolanda Riggins can attest!
