With colder weather arriving the Humane Society would like to remind everyone to take care of our dogs when you are walking them outside and for the dogs that stay outside it’s important to make sure they have shelter from the weather.
The pads on a dog’s feet can be protected from the snow, ice and salt that is used to melt the ice by making sure their paws get a good cleaning after going for a walk and by keeping the fur between the toes cut short.
For dogs that stay outside, make sure they have a dog house that isn’t too big so that their body heat will help keep them warm and use straw or hay as bedding instead of blankets, blankets hold in moisture which keeps your dog damp and cold.
Fresh water and food are always important so make sure if your dog is outside that the water is not frozen and that they are getting plenty of food.
Edgarda is a black and tan shepherd mix. She is about four years old but loves to run and play as if she were a puppy. She does have a lot of energy and would be a great running partner. She gets along well with other dogs but she really loves to be with people. Her fur is soft like a Golden Retriever's but shorter. She is spayed, heartworm negative, current on her vaccines and is $50 to adopt.
Koto came in to the shelter very pregnant. Thanks to a very nice volunteer she was fostered and had 4 beautiful little babies. The babies have all been adopted and now Koto is looking for a home of her own. She lives in our cat play room with 6 other cats. She loves to greet people at the door and will cuddle if you promise to brush her. She is about two years old, she is spayed, FELV/FIV negative, current on her vaccines and is $10 to adopt.
