It's almost July 4th! 🎆

The fourth can be a lot of fun for families, but unfortunately not so fun for pets. 😢

Below you will find some tips on how to keep your own pets safe this holiday! 🧷

What should you do if you find a pet that doesn't belong to you?

-In general most pets don't stray too far from their homes. If possible, and the pet doesn't seem to be in danger, try to leave it where you found it. It becomes difficult to reunite pets who have been taken far from their homes.

-If you must take a pet, please take a picture and send us an E-mail with the photo, location the animal was found, and current information on how to get in touch with you, should we find the owner.

What should you do if you lose your own pet?

-Please send us an E-mail with a photo, location pet went missing from, and how to reach you if we find him or her.

Please send all E-mails to [email protected]

We are also asking that the community please work with us during these times, our shelter is very small, and we'd like to ensure we are able to help all animals without over crowding our shelter!

Most importantly....Have fun and be safe!! Happy 4th!!!
