Something to Bark About
Who could forget Magoo? The sweet young cat found almost frozen to death in a snow bank suffering from severe frostbite. Today this brave feline is almost unrecognizable, and no longer left out in the cold.
As the warmer weather arrives it also happens to bring with it some hazards – especially for our pets. To make sure your pet’s summer season is as fun and safe as possible, we'd like to share these important safety tips.
I wake up at 5 a.m. every day, whether Howard has to get up for his radio show or not. Then it’s coffee and time to brush Leon Bear and Walter, make sure Yoda is groomed, feed the cats and kittens, and play. There’s a lot of playtime in the mornings.
Grab your leash and tighten your laces for our 2nd annual Walk & Wag – and this time we’re going VIRTUAL! Join us at our main event on Saturday, September 29 at North Hempstead Beach Park, or create a Virtual Walk any time from any place!
Intestinal parasites cause a year-round health risk to our pets. Our Pet Health Centers is offering a special promotion to make sure your pet is safe. Make an appointment today to receive 10% off fecal testing, and $5 off intestinal parasite dewormer.
Our program makes donating your automobile, truck, boat or even plane fast, easy and hassle-free—and it earns you tax credits—while offering another great way to help support our no-kill mission.
Get Your Rescue On with our Rescue Cuff and Rescue Tag, and tell the world that supporting and adopting rescue pets is the only option.
