Simple Tips Protect Beloved Pets 

National Pet Theft Awareness Day is in February. 

This important day is intended to increase public awareness of pet theft as well as everyday responsible pet care 

Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year: many are abducted from their yards to be used in dog fighting rings, sold to research laboratories or puppy mills, or used for dissection or other sadistic acts. There are simple steps per owners can take to ensure the safety of their pets: 

1) Keep pets indoors when not at home 

2) Ensure proper identification with a collar and I.D. tag and identification microchip 

3) Spay and neuter pets: sterilized pets are less likely to roam 

4) Keep dogs on leashes when outside and keep cats indoors 

5) Never leave an animal unattended in a vehicle 

6) Ensure that gates are padlocked and fences are high enough and secure 

7) Keep pet licenses current and keep a current photo of pets on hand 

8) If pet is missing call the Animal shelter to leave the animal description, last known location    

    and your contact information. 

9) Post lost pet information in your neighborhood, veterinarian offices, groomers and local  

    markets.   

It is a tragedy that any pet owner should suffer the heartbreak of a stolen pet. 

If you believe your pet has been stolen, do not delay in filing a theft report by contacting the local authorities. Pet thefts often occur in groups within the same neighborhoods, and prompt reporting will increase your odds of recovering your animals and preventing additional thefts. 

Featured Dog (s)  

Oreo 

4 years Anything for Love! With her affectionate nature and wiggling hips, it’s easy to see that Oreo adores people. A big, strong girl, she’d probably do just fine with older kids. She does well on a leash, walks with a loose lead and waits for you if you stop without pulling. But she wants to please people so much that she should be a quick study.. Oreo is ready to give her heart and soul to whoever adopts her. If you’re looking for a devoted dog, please consider giving Oreo the chance to be your best friend forever.

He is going to need lots of exercise and is a little high energy when he first gets outside but then calms down. He loves being with people, knows to sit and loves his toys.
