Great Things To Remember!

Half of the animals entering shelters in our region enter as strays.  Your pet must have proper identification (collar with ID or license and microchip), have proper supervision, and be in a securely fenced area if outside and not under direct supervision.  Consider fencing alternatives such as Invisible Fence (click below for details).
