This Memorial Day, all of us at Animal Care Hospital pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom — and the loyal military working dogs who served courageously beside them. 🇺🇸🐾

These canine heroes have protected, comforted, and stood fearlessly alongside our troops in the most challenging circumstances. Their service and devotion will never be forgotten.

Today, we remember and give thanks to all who served — both two-legged and four-legged heroes. ❤️

Wishing our community a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Great information about baby birds! 🦅

It’s officially baby bird season. We do not have enough songbird rehabbers to hand-raise all the baby birds you find so here’s a quick guide on what to do:

If you find an unfeathered baby (a “naked” little nugget):
👉 Pick it up. It’s a myth that mom will reject it if you touch it.
👉 DO NOT FEED IT. Not worms, not crackers, not milk. Nothing.
👉 Check to see if it’s warm.

- If it's warm, no injuries, and has NOT been in a cat’s mouth? Pop that baby right back in the nest.
- If it's cold to the touch? Bring it inside and call for guidance ASAP.
- Can’t find or reach the nest? Time to get crafty 👇

🐣 Those Easter baskets you’re about to have lying around? They make great makeshift nests
✔️ Add some pine straw for cushion
✔️ Poke holes in the bottom for drainage
✔️ Hang it in a tree as close to the original nest as possible
Then head inside and watch. If mom starts coming back to feed, you’re golden. If not, send a text.

If you find a fully feathered little dude (a fledgling):
👉 As long as it's chirping and hopping around, it's probably just doing what baby birds do.
👉 If the baby bird is not trying to avoid you and looks weak or tired, call for guidance.
👉 Watch from inside and watch for parents to come feed. If you don't see parents, call for help.

Their best shot at survival is still with his parents. Fledglings are on the ground for a few days, hopping around and learning to fly. In most cases, mom and dad are nearby and still feeding them.

And just to be clear… You are not its mom.
Even if you put on a feather boa and pre-chew its food (please… don't do this 😆).

Only intervene if:
🚨 The bird is injured
🚨 The bird has been in a cat’s mouth
🚨 Parents haven't been seen in an extended period of time.
🚨 The bird is acting weak with eyes closed, sick, or not hopping away. (A photo is always helpful).

Otherwise, the best help is giving them space. Thank you for helping us keep wildlife wild 💚

MYTH: “My pet should have one litter first.”
FACT: There is no medical benefit to allowing a pet to have a litter before being spayed.

MYTH: “Neutering changes their personality.”
FACT: Neutering reduces hormone-driven behaviors but does not change your pet’s loving personality.

Have questions? We’re here to help you make informed decisions.

Call Animal Care Hospital at 770-381-6544 to talk with our team.

Did you know spaying and neutering can actually extend your pet’s life?

✔️ Reduces risk of mammary tumors
✔️ Prevents uterine infections (pyometra)
✔️ Eliminates testicular cancer risk
✔️ Decreases prostate problems
✔️ Reduces roaming & certain aggressive behaviors

At Animal Care Hospital, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Let’s protect their health together. 💙

Spaying and neutering helps:
🐶🐱 Prevent unwanted litters
🏠 Reduce pet overpopulation in our community
💗 Lower the risk of certain cancers and infections
🐾 Improve behavior and long-term health

Every year, millions of dogs and cats enter shelters. Preventative care — including spay and neuter surgery — is one of the most powerful ways we can work together to reduce homelessness and ensure healthier lives for pets.

If your pet hasn’t been spayed or neutered, now is a great time to talk with our team about the benefits and timing for your furry family member.

Call Animal Care Hospital today to schedule an appointment or learn more. Together, we can make a difference — one pet at a time. 💙

🐾 National Justice for Animals Week | February 22–28, 2026 🐾

During National Justice for Animals Week (February 22–28, 2026), we stand together to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. This important week was founded by the Animal Legal Defense Fund to raise awareness about animal cruelty and strengthen protections for animals across our communities.

Animal abuse impacts not only pets and wildlife, but also the safety and well-being of families and neighborhoods. By recognizing the signs of neglect and cruelty, reporting concerns, and supporting stronger animal protection laws, we can all help create a safer world for animals.

💙 How you can help:
• Report suspected cruelty to local authorities
• Support organizations advocating for stronger animal protection laws
• Educate others about responsible pet ownership
• Advocate for humane treatment of all animals

Every animal deserves compassion, care, and justice. Let’s work together this week — and every week — to ensure their voices are heard.
