 Featured Success Story
~Bailey~

successMackenzie

I've been meaning to send in a thank you to your shelter for the past few years, but am finally getting to do it now. My husband and I just wanted to thank you for giving us such a wonderful addition to our family and truly making our lives so much better because she is in it. The she I am referring to is Bailey (formerly called Mackenzie prior to adoption). We adopted her in June of 2007 from your shelter and are so lucky we did. We initially went in looking for a puppy, but something told me to take a look at the cute German Shephard mix who patiently waited and watched as I played with one of the puppies out back. Once done seeing the puppy, I asked if we could take a look at Bailey (Mackenzie) - and your staff enthusiastically told me I had made a good choice and she was loved by everyone at the shelter for her kisses and sweet temperament. I immediately fell in love with her. She has made our life so much better and given such meaning and purpose to both of us. She is the sweetest, most loyal dog I've ever had the pleasure to know and I can't imagine our lives without her. Thank you so much - we can't thank you enough!
- Tracy and Ryan C.

  Summer Care Tips For Your Pets

  • Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of water.  Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun and be careful not to over exercise them. PLEASE keep them inside when it’s extremely hot.
  • Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool-NOT all dogs are good swimmers.
  • Be careful of hot asphalt.  A pet’s paw pads are sensitive and can burn easily.
  • Lawn and garden insecticides can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested.  When walking your dog, steer clear of areas that you suspect have been sprayed with chemicals.  
  • PLEASE don’t put your pet in the back of a truck.  It is very dangerous.  Flying debris can cause serious injury plus your dog can be thrown into traffic if you suddenly hit the brakes or swerve.
