Wow! Jasper and I had a fun and successful day today at our obedience trial.

We learned a lot and had our not so great moments but all in all it has been a great day

When Seuk Kim took off from Maryland last weekend with three small dogs aboard his small plane, it turned out to be the last of his many volunteer flights to rescue animals in need.

It’s always good for pet families to keep up with name changes of ingredients. Why do they do these name changes? Purely to hide the info from the consumer and to have the ability to market to those that distrust the former name. If you ever come across one of these ‘name’ changes let us know!

This is why it is a good idea to crate train your dog. What would happen if you had to evacuate and your dog had to be in a crate at an evacuation center until you could get them.

Petersburg Animal Shelter Closed Due to Parvo Outbreak
The Petersburg Animal Shelter is closed for at least two weeks for an outbreak of Parvo, a highly contagious viral disease affecting dogs. The closure is effective immediately and will last until all dogs test negative for Parvo. Shelter employees are working diligently to address and mitigate the outbreak.
Parvo, known for its severe impact on the gastrointestinal system of dogs, particularly puppies, can spread rapidly in environments where animals are housed in close proximity. The decision to close the shelter was made to ensure the safety and health of the animals currently in care and to prevent the further spread of the virus.
Steps Being Taken:
· Comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of all shelter facilities and equipment.
· Quarantine and close monitoring of any dogs showing symptoms of Parvo.
· Veterinary care for affected animals.
· Temporary suspension of animal intake and adoptions until the shelter is safe.
Recommendations for Dog Owners:
· Owners are advised to ensure their dogs are up to date on Parvo vaccinations.
· Look for symptoms of Parvo in dogs, such as vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), lethargy, and loss of appetite.
· Until the outbreak is under control, avoid bringing dogs to areas where other dogs congregate, such as parks and dog runs.
· If you suspect your dog may have been exposed to Parvo, contact your veterinarian immediately.
If you have an emergency and need help with a stray animal, contact Petersburg Animal Control @ (804) 732-3654 / [email protected].
The Petersburg Animal Shelter WILL NOT ACCEPT any animals during this time but will try to find other agencies accepting strays.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and cooperation.
