Heads up, Fargo friends! Our lobby will be closed on Thursday, November 27 in observance of Thanksgiving. We’ll reopen with normal hours on Friday.

As you gather with family and friends, here are a few pet safety DOs and DON’Ts to keep the celebration happy and healthy:

✅ DO
• Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip info are up-to-date—holiday guests and open doors can lead to accidental escapes!
• Keep pets on a regular feeding and potty schedule to reduce stress.
• Provide a quiet, comfy space if your pet gets overwhelmed by visitors.

❌ DON’T
• Don’t feed pets dangerous table scraps like turkey bones, onions, garlic, grapes/raisins, chocolate, or anything seasoned heavily.
• Don’t leave trash bags accessible—holiday leftovers can be tempting and harmful.
• Don’t force interactions with guests if your pet seems anxious.

Lastly, if you think your pet may have consumed a toxic food, the Pet Poison Hotline is available 24/7 via call or chat.

Drive safe out there, folks!

Oh jeez…winter's here. ❄️ First snowfall of the season and suddenly there's people drivin’ like they’ve never seen a flake before. Uff-da!

As part of our "Ope"-eration Safety campaign, here’s a few tips to keep ya outta the ditch and avoid crashes throughout the rest of winter!

Take ’er slow! Keep ’ur headlights on so folks can actually see ya. Don’t go slammin’ the brakes or gassin’ it too quick or you’ll end up slidin’. Leave plenty of extra room so you can stop without bumpin' the car in front of ya.

Stay safe out there, Fargo! Winter’s just gettin’ warmed up, don'tcha know.
