No appointments necessary. Checks or cash accepted. Call 362-1722 with any questions.
An average of 8-12 million companion animals end up in shelters across the country each year, and with out an ID to reunite them with their families, a lost pet can sit in the shelter for days, while we wait for the owner to call or stop in. Meanwhile, that limits the space and resources available to care for other animals. Making sure your pet can be identified with a tag or microchip is something all pet owners can do to help their own pets. Often cats do not wear collars for fear of getting hung up on something – for this reason, MICROCHIPPING is especially advantageous should your cat unexpectedly and accidentally turns up missing.
