🎉🐾 **Keep Your Pets Safe This New Year’s Eve!** 🐾
As you ring in the new year, it’s important to ensure our furry friends stay calm and relaxed once the partying begins.

Similar to the Fourth of July, many pets are reported missing around New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. There’s also a chance they can get into things they’re not supposed to. As you celebrate the ringing in of 2025, be sure to keep these tips in mind to help keep your pet safe:

1. **Create a Safe Space**: Set up a quiet, comfortable area for your pets to retreat to during the celebrations.
2. **Use White Noise**: Play soothing music or turn on a fan to help mask the sounds of fireworks and loud noises.
3. **Avoid Dangerous Foods**: Keep festive foods and drinks, especially those containing alcohol or chocolate, out of reach from your pets.
4. **Secure Your Home**: Make sure doors, windows, and gates are securely closed to prevent any escapes.
5. **Identification Tags**: Ensure your pets are wearing updated ID tags and are microchipped for easy identification in case they get lost.
6. **Keep Decorations Safe**: Place decorations out of reach and be mindful of small items that pets could swallow.

Let’s ring in the New Year safely and happily with our beloved pets! 🎊🐶🐱

All but 6 dogs have left for Thanksgiving foster. Greta, Cricket, Slate, Salsa, Rapha, and Shelley. If you missed out on fostering and are interested, Brooke (pictured) has graciously offered to meet fosters after hours tomorrow and Friday. If you are willing to foster a large dog, please complete a foster application online and then follow-up with an email to [email protected] to coordinate a meet & greet at WCAC. We will provide all supplies.

We are so very very thankful to each and every one of you who selected a pet to adopt or foster today! We know several of our pets will greatly benefit from being able to simply nap in peace and quiet for the first time in many months. Studies have shown the positive effects of short-term fostering for their mental health. Plus, we'll learn so much from the reports we receive from the fosters! We look forward to receiving photo updates of them all on their vacation.

We will be closed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and will resume normal business on Monday, December 2nd.

Vaccinations are generally accepted as one of the simplest ways that you can promote long, healthy lives for your pets. And, Tennessee state law requires you to vaccinate all of your cats and dogs over the age of six months against rabies. To help make it as easy as possible to keep your pets current, we offer rabies vaccinations for only $10 during our monthly clinics which includes a collar tag and certificate as proof of vaccination.

The next clinic will be taking place THIS Saturday from 9 am until 11 am. You do not need to make an appointment, but it is helpful if you pre-register your pets and please be sure to have them in a carrier or on a leash while you’re at the center.

Only cash or checks are accepted during all clinics, no credit/debit card payments.

Microchips are also available for $15 during the clinics or at the center, without an appointment, Monday through Friday, 10 am until 4 pm.

All dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in carriers.
