FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.

Important message from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office!

𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲
A cat in the area near Buford Dam (Cu***ng) has tested positive for rabies.
“We are encouraging residents to report any animals appearing to be sick in this area by contacting the Animal Services Division.” said Deputy Director Haley Brown, “We encourage others to come forward if their animals are symptomatic and obtain current rabies vaccinations for your animals.”
Public health officials will notify any individuals who have been exposed to risks and will inform them of the need to seek medical care, if necessary.
To report a wild animal acting strangely, avoid the animal and contact Animal Services at 770-781-2138. If it is after business hours, contact the Forsyth County 911 Center after hours line at 770-781-3087. To report an animal bite, immediately call the Georgia Poison Control Center helpline at 1-800-222-1222 for medical instructions.
The rabies virus can be transmitted to domestic animals and humans only when the virus is introduced into bite wounds, open cuts in the skin, or onto mucous membranes, such as the eyes or mouth. Rabies is a viral infection transmitted in the saliva of infected mammals and enters the central nervous system of the host causing an inflammation of the brain that is almost always fatal.
Wildlife remains the most likely potential source of infection for both humans and domestic animals in the United States since the most common carriers of rabies are raccoons, skunks, coyotes, foxes and bats.
Georgia Rabies Control Law-O.C.G.A. 13-19 mandates that every cat and dog be vaccinated for Rabies by a licensed veterinarian to protect them and prevent spread of the disease. For more about Rabies Virus vaccinations for pets, ask your veterinarian, or visit the Department of Public Health (DPH) online.

Today is Hairball Awareness Day! Regular brushing and even shaving your cat, especially if it is a long-haired breed, can help reduce the amount of hairballs. Did you know that dogs can get hairballs too? It’s rare, but happens!
