Consider medication if you don’t have some already.
Even with a fence, take your dog out on leash and make sure the collar is on tight so they don’t slip out.
Make the last potty break before 9pm in order to minimize the risk of fireworks going off then.

Please, have a happy and safe holiday!

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T SPREAD COLD WATER ON AN OVERHEATED DOG OR PUT A WET TOWEL ON ITS BACK? !! ️.

HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.. ⬇️

Animal lovers, never make the mistake of pouring cold water overheated dog or putting a wet towel on its back. You will see the opposite effect.

Due to cold, the veins contract and due to high body temperature (above 42 degrees), the proteins in the blood collide, causing the blood to become thick and tight.

The combination of these two factors, blood stops entering the heart and organs fail one by one due to lack of oxygen.
The result is a very slow but very painful death.

If you try to help an overheated dog in this way, it will die!

First give him lukewarm water to drink, then cool his feet and chest/belly with a wet towel.
Then put the dog in the shade on a wet towel!!!

Sharing is highly desirable because time and time again we see footage of overheated dogs exiting a car with water spilled on their backs.

PLEASE WATCH FOR CARS PARKED ANYWHERE.. There can always be an animal or a child left inside.

Please share. It’s HOT 🥵.

If you’re planning on boarding your pet during the holiday weekend, please make plans to have meds with you when you check in. Even if your pet does fine at home.

This has been a long time in the making, but we are happy to announce Pawportunities will officially be opening a low cost spay and neuter clinic in Lenexa, Kansas! Spay and neutering pets is absolutely critical in helping the overpopulation of pets, and the current crisis our nation is facing. We are so excited about this Kansas location, as the Kansas side of our metropolitan area is severely underserved. Our plan is to be able to start serving the public in the near future.

Friendly reminder that we HAVE to have updated vaccine records before you board. We will do our best to REMIND you but please make it a point to send them to us when you have them done every year.
Note: if we don’t have them, we can’t take your dog. It’s a state policy, but has always been a policy here regardless.

As always, thanks for understanding!
