Unfortunately Echo’s adoption did not work out. He was great in every way but had to much energy. He needs an active family or a large yard.

Think your pet has the longest ears, the loudest bark, or the best trick in town? Bring them to the Mary Hall Ruddiman Amateur Pet Show on June 27 and find out.

This fun, family-friendly event gives pet owners the chance to show off their furry friends in categories including Longest Tail, Shortest Tail, Longest Ears, Most Spots, Owner's Twin, Best Trick, Friendliest, Loudest Bark, Most Obedient, and Best Overall. Winners will earn a certificate, bragging rights, and a featured spot on Mary Hall Ruddiman social media.

Entry is $10 per pet, and pets may enter as many categories as they wish for one fee. Participants may pre-register at https://forms.gle/Yxhz2GX1G6dmDD6i9 or register the day of the event. Payment may be made on the day of the show.

All pets must remain on a leash or in a kennel or carrier at all times.

Apollo was one of many strays Lyon County has picked up. He is now with this foster with a mission. I really enjoy watching the dogs when they get adopted or rescued from Crittenden County Animal Shelter. I really try my best to keep up with their progress.

MISSING

Velvie is missing from 93 South, close to exit 45 and Pleasant Hill Church. She is very friendly! The storm scared her.

$140 adoption fee (neuter, microchipping, flea tick prevention, vaccines & vet wellness visit included) we will be making her spay appointment for later on in the week.

As a requirement for adoption, if you currently own a dog, you must bring them for a meet and greet to ensure the animals get along.

When bringing a new puppy into your home, remember that patience,
consistency, and preparation are key. Start by making their new space cozy, safe, and free from items they might be able to chew or swallow whole, as well as cords and cables.
