Did you buy any of these for your dog for Christmas. If so, read on.

They start with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes.

These rawhides regularly cause intestinal blockages and choking. The chews get slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog. And, a blockage can lead to surgery for your pet.

The best place for any rawhide chew is in the trash!

We held our Annual Stuffed Animal Clinic for kids. This event is always so fun. The kids smiling faces make it so worth it. Even one big kid came. He brought his granddaughter and decided to bring a stuffed animal, too. Each stuffed animal was checked over, got their shot for the year, and a new Christmas Ribbon. Each child got a bag of candy and a new stuffed teddy bear. The drawing Christmas Bear, Scharlotte, was won by Lennox. Thank you to all the kids that came. We are sorry the weather was so bad on the 13th. Hopefully, next year will be a sunny day!! Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year!!!

This cute little Lab puppy was in for his well check today, along with his brothers and sisters. While he was here he looked eye to eye and talked to the Santa Bear we are giving away Saturday to one lucky girl or boy. The pup wanted to make sure Santa got his wish list!!

Thanks Melanie Annegers for bringing in these sweet pups!!

We are proud to help with this endeavor. The feral cat population can, will, and has exploded in both Henderson and Warren counties. This is a great way to try to help the feral cats.

WIAR is pleased to introduce our Trap-Neuter-Return Program-a compassionate, lifesaving initiative dedicated to giving free-roaming cats in Warren County a brighter, safer future. With each cat we help, we’re taking meaningful steps to unite our community and transform lives, both feline and human.

Starting Tuesday, December 16th, we invite the public to reach out to us with applications and inquiries. This program is the product of heartfelt collaboration between WIAR, caring local veterinarians, and the Warren County Board. Yet, its true strength lies with you-the citizens whose voices, love and advocacy have long called for a kinder solution for at-large cat colonies in our rural areas, villages and the City of Monmouth.

For years, our animal control officers have wished to do more, but lacked the resources to make a difference. Now, with this program and your support, we can change that. TNR is more than just a method-it’s an act of kindness that humanely reduces cat populations, reduces shelter overcrowding, ensures these animals get vital vaccinations, and creates hope and wellbeing throughout our neighborhoods.

This is not a quick fix. TNR programs require patience, dedication and ongoing support. But together, we can build a legacy of compassion, one that truly improves the quality of life for everyone, especially the most vulnerable among us.

In the coming days, we’ll share more details: the step-by-step process, the roles each of us will play, how the program will be funded, and the many ways our community can lift these cats and each other up.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us in this journey. Your kindness creates a healthier, more loving home for our community cats and brings hope where it’s needed most
