April is Heartworm Awareness Month!❤️

Did you know that it only takes ONE single bite from a mosquito for your pet to be at risk for heartworm disease? Unfortunately, due to us living in the south, mosquitos are here year-round. 🦟

Keep your pets safe by giving them heartworm prevention every month! Most heartworm preventions also cover intestinal parasites, so you're knocking out two birds with one stone!
Prevention is cheaper and safer than treatment!

Call us today to help you find the best prevention to fit you and your pets needs! We look forward to hearing from you!

Meet Jack, Lucy Lu and TomTom!

**Edited to add; Lucy Lu and TomTom have found a loving home together! Jack also has a pending home! Thank you to everyone who shared and advocated so hard for these wonderful babies!! **

Unfortunately their owner passed away from heart failure, and they have been boarding with us ever since. Jack was adopted from the humane society 4 months ago. For over a month now he and his siblings have been boarding. Jack is amazing with other dogs (but likes to be alpha dog), cats, and children. He knows sit, stay, go lay down, and shake. Such an awesome boy and would make someone so happy! He is food posessive, but we have crated him separately when he is eating and he has done amazing, and he is a loving boy who is so deserving of a soft spot to land on every night. Jack is up to date on vaccines, neutered , and up to date on heartworm prevention (hw negative on his test!)

He also has two siblings, one is 8 and one is 12 they are a bonded pair! Same situation boarding until they have somewhere to go. Kennel life is not fun, and they are not thriving. Please help to find these sweet souls a forever, or even a foster! Meet Lucy (pittie mix 12 yrs old) and TomTom (8yrs old Doxie mix) both up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, up to date on heartworm prevention and both spayed and neutered.

These babies are struggling with kennel life, its Loud and unfamiliar, they are missing a home to call their own. Now all they know is that they can’t find their dad anywhere, they are stressed, and on trazodone to help calm them down while they’re stuck with us until they find somewhere to go. They are a bonded pair, they need eachother and find comfort cuddling the days away until they find a new home or foster to call their own. They are cuddle bugs, so very sweet, assumably good with cats, and unsure about children but I’m sure they would do wonderful. They are so deserving of all the love they can get in their senior years. If you know of anyone willing to step up for these babies please reach out to us.
