Do not under any circumstances trust the word of Fielding and Sons TRASH SERVICE in Southern Maryland. Last week they assured it would be picked up next Thursday due to the holiday. Well it’s Thursday, I woke up and no trash service came. We have paid for trash pickup, three weeks(almost a month ago) they have not showed up once.

Tomorrow 5/30 is the big day, Animal Days @ Charlotte Hall Tractor Supply Co. Come by and see us. Nala will be there for meet and greets. The pets pictured will be there as well for adoption. As a search and rescue we strongly advocate for Microchipping and it will be available at a reduced cost of $20 provided by Julie Greene-Smith with Rescue Angels of SOMD. We have games, prizes and kids face painting! If you’re in the market for a Phenomenal Groomer come meet Laura Conner with Plain & Simple Pet Services. She’s local to the area and is an awesome person to connect with. Of course if you are a DIY type person Tractor Supply also has top notch self washing stations complete with dryers and towels. Drone demonstrations will be conducted throughout the day. We hope you come by to see the adoptable pets and hangout with us!

‼️ NOTICE OF SUCCESSFUL REUNION AFTER A WHOLE MONTH! JOY, THE BELOVED GOLDEN RETRIEVER, RETURNED HOME SAFELY ‼️.

After a month of tireless effort, we were delighted to facilitate a heartwarming reunion between JOY, the missing Golden Retriever, and her overjoyed owner, Judi. Despite navigating through numerous government security protocols, the NAS-PAX River staff and the unwavering dedication of a community-driven initiative ultimately prevailed. A chance encounter between a hiker and Joy on a nearby trail proved crucial in bringing this precious pup home, mere yards from a camera-equipped feeding station she had surprisingly evaded.

This remarkable reunion serves as a testament to the transformative power of HOPE and PERSEVERANCE. It underscores that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, every effort counts, and every moment holds the potential for a MIRACLE. We are filled with gratitude for the invaluable lessons learned and honored to have played a part in rewriting a joyous ending for Joy and her family.

We extend our special gratitude to Judi for entrusting us, NAS-PAX River for granting special permissions under the circumstances, and to the PAX River and St Mary’s County Community for their continued support and commitment. We definitely thank the tireless individuals who stood by us since day one helping to find Joy. Laura Conner for her exceptional commitment to donating her services to help rehabilitate lost pets through Plain & Simple Pet Services. We promptly brought Joy to her care for tick removal, grooming, and severe brushing. Joy is currently on a feeding schedule and appears healthy enough to await a veterinary appointment tomorrow. For now, let her rest and enjoy her holiday. 

While technology like drones can be useful, it was the collective effort of the community that ultimately led to Joy's safe return. As advocates for reunifying pets with their owners, we find the heartfelt gratitude from pet owners to be the most rewarding aspect of our work. Judi your hug was a huge hug of relief. The tears, throughout the whole process were completely normal. Never apologize for them. I think now you can believe me when I say hold on to HOPE😉.
