Today, we take the time to remember and honor all who have served in the military, including the brave K9s that have stood by our troops. While National K9 Veterans Day is celebrated on March 13th, Memorial Day offers a special opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by all service members, including our four-legged heroes who often help keep our troops safe.

In honor of today we will be closed today. We will reopen tomorrow @ 8:30 am

**National Rescue Dog Day**

Today, we celebrate rescue dogs and encourage everyone to adopt instead of shopping for a pet. Approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters in the U.S. each year, and all of them are in need of loving homes. Please consider adopting a rescue dog.
Here are a few wonderful dogs available at the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. Supporting your local shelter by donating food, toys, and bedding is a great way to help these sweet fur babies. Additionally, you can foster a dog or volunteer your time to give these animals the love and attention they deserve.
Rescue dogs offer a unique and unconditional love that enriches our lives. If you have adopted a rescue animal, we invite you to share your story by posting a picture and using the hashtag ..

**Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month**
It's important to remember that pets can experience asthma and allergies just like humans. Symptoms may include itching, scratching, and sneezing. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can cause the airways to narrow, leading to breathing difficulties. On the other hand, allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to normally harmless substances, which can result in various symptoms. Identifying triggers, such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and even certain foods, is key to managing these conditions in your pets.
