Happy 4th!! Have fun, be safe!

PSA: Fireworks can be a great way to celebrate Independence Day (safely and legally, of course). But not all of our furry friends enjoy the sights and sounds of fireworks like you do. If your pet isn't a fan, make sure you keep them in mind over the next few evenings. A quiet room with plenty of love from you can go a long way in easing the anxiety fireworks can cause.

Exciting news!

Dr. McHugh will be starting her maternity leave as she prepares to welcome her new baby!

While she’s away (through the fall), you may see a few new veterinarians at the hospital helping out. Additionally, there may be some days when we need to adjust our appointment hours due to limited coverage. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this special time!

Please join us in wishing Dr. McHugh all the very best as she welcomes her little one!

Blackstone Police Department Reminds Residents That Fireworks Are Illegal Statewide: As the Fourth of July holiday approaches quickly, we would like to remind residents that the recreational use of fireworks is illegal in Massachusetts.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, there have been more than 550 fires and explosions involving illegal fireworks in Massachusetts in the past five years. Six firefighters were injured in these incidents, and damages were estimated at nearly $1 million.

Between 2019 and 2023, Massachusetts medical facilities treated more than 200 people for burns and other injuries associated with fireworks. Two dozen people were treated for severe burn injuries that covered 5% or more of the victim's body.

The possession, use and sale of fireworks without a professional license is against the law in Massachusetts and punishable by confiscation, fine or imprisonment. Fines range from $100 to $1,000, and some violations could carry a one-year prison sentence.

Please leave fireworks to the professionals!

6/28/25 Some call it over-reacting, call it whatever you want, but all of us at Missing Dogs Massachusetts want you to do everything you can to keep your dogs safe. Your dog may be ok today, but maybe there will come a time when they won't be. We can't post these warnings enough.

Cold hard facts: This time of year more dogs enter the shelter systems due to being spooked by fireworks, parades, etc. Many go home. Some end up miles and miles away from their homes in shelters. And even worse, some are still out there with families praying for a miracle.
It's facts and statistics that we deal with every single day at Missing Dogs Massachusetts and at many other organizations like ours.

Take steps to keep them safe today!

1. Look over your dog's leash and collar hardware- are clasps, hooks wearing out?

2. What about your pup's ID tags- can you read them? Is your town license that's on their collar up to date?

3. Is your dog microchipped? Is the chip's registration up to date? And did you know, a microchip is only as good as its current up to date registration and a microchip is NOT a GPS device!

4. Walk your dogs early, accompany them into your yard so they can't jump a fence or escape a gate in fear

5. If you have go to out, leave them home and provide them with a quiet, safe space in the home with their favorite treat.

6. If you have a very fearful dog, then NOW is the time to reach out to your vet for calming aids

Don't think.... Oh my dog is fine, because in a split second they might not be. Help keep them safe!
