Wild Animals!

It's a Jungle Out There!
Don't we look like wild things!?

"Well, Carter, we get to joke around about this, but animals on the loose can really be a danger to your family."

"That's why it is so important to have an Animal Control Officer in your county!"

"We got to visit our Health Department a few days ago to show our appreciation for our local Animal Control Officers!"

"It was so much fun!"

We gave a special gift to Sherry!

"She was so happy that she gave us a kiss!"

That was a great way to say thank you!

"After giving our gift we got to ask Sherry lots of questions!"

"That's right, Carter. She told us all of the important work that they do to help keep people and animals safe."

"Like helping animals that are hurt or left all alone. I would be scared if I was hurt and alone!"

"Me too!"

"Sherry told us that Animal Control also responds to emergencies, and when people call about animals that have no home, they can come and pick them up!"

"Carter and I got to meet some of the animals that they have rescued. They were so nice! They said they were excited to have a family soon!"

Say hello to our little friends!

"Right here in our county, Sherry and her friends have been able to place over 500 animals in rescues and over 200 in homes with families of their own!"

"The adoption rate went from 4% in January 2012 to 60% in December of 2012! Great job to all of you!"

"But, Molly, remember what she said about black dogs?"

"Yes, Carter. We were sad to hear that black dogs have the lowest adoption rate, but happy to hear that our friends work hard to help them get into families."

"They are helping to raise awareness of Black Dog Syndrome! I think black dogs are beautiful!"

So is our Mama Kelli!

"I was surprised that both our Mamas didn't bring home more dogs and cats!"

I thought for sure this would be our new playmate!

"We didn't get a new brother or sister yesterday, but we know how you can bring one of our friends home with you!"

"Carter is right! It's so easy to do! You can go to Pet Finder, or Taney County Health Department, or you can just call Taney County Animal Control!"

"You can even adopt from out of state!"

"Didn't it make you feel good to visit and make so many new friends, Carter?"

"It was very special, Molly, and so are our Animal Control Officers, and all of our friends at the Health Department. They do important work and we are thankful for them!!!"


We hope you are all learning a lot during our 
Pet Education Month! 


Love,

Molly & Carter
