"Boo" is looking for her fur-ever home! She was found underneath a house all alone when she was just 8 weeks old. She is about 5 months old now, up to date on her vaccines and is scheduled to be spayed next week. She is very affectionate and loving and is just waiting for a family to add her to their home! Please contact us if you are interesting in adopting sweet "Boo"!

We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.
We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.
Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.
* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens! #VCApets

MEET HERMAN!!
He is a male, neutered, German Shepherd. His owner is no longer able to care for him so he is looking for his next forever home! He has been very well taken care of all of his life and just needs a special someone to continue to give him lots of love and sloppy kisses!
Herman is the SWEETEST boy ever! We have had the pleasure of caring for him these last few weeks and every staff member has fallen in love with him! He is gentle and loving, happy and eager to meet new people.
If you are looking to add a new addition to your home please call us so we can set up a time for you to visit him! He loves visitors!!
It can be easy to forget about heartworm prevention in January when frostbite is more likely than a mosquito bite, but there is still a risk! If you stop giving your dog heartworm medication in the fall, a parasite may remain and cause infection. That's why year-round prevention is always the best form of protection. Visit bit.ly/3814D5W to learn more about heartworm protection options for your dog.
