We're celebrating by extending our endless appreciation for the shelters and rescues in our area and highlighting a few of the currently adoptable dogs from each local organization ❤🐕‍🦺

There are many more dogs looking for forever homes in the area beyond even these rescues listed, and we wish we could feature every single one! We encourage anyone thinking about adding a dog to their family to reach out to the rescues for questions about their adoption process.

Each organization's logo is followed by a picture of one of their adoptable dogs 🐾

Heading to the Fair in Ferndale this weekend? 🎡 In case you wind up bringing home a newly-won fish, here's some tips to keep your fish happy and healthy (and put off the toilet-bowl-in-the-sky talk a lot longer):

🐠What you'll need at the minimum: 10-20 gallon tank, filter, water conditioner, goldfish food
🐠Recommended items: Plants and decor, gravel vacuum, Turbostart (especially if you are starting a brand new tank)
🐠Feeding: Only feed as much as the fish can eat in 2 minutes
🐠Tank Cleaning/Water Changes: Familiarize yourself with the nitrogen cycle and make 20-30% weekly water changes once the tank is cycled. We offer free water tests at the store to check up on your water's parameters if you're having any issues.

Animal Spotlight: Tomato Frog 🍅🐸

Check the leaves of the enclosure carefully for little eyes peering out at you.
The Madagascar-native tomato frog prefers a heated environment with plenty of moist substate to burrow. Males can grow up to 2.5" while females mature at around 4", so a 10-20 gallon terrarium is ideal for growth and exploration. While the frogs we have now are juveniles, adults tend to become more red in coloration as they mature to fully live up to their ripe, fresh name. Come check them out daily from 9:30 AM - 5:45 PM!
