You never know who is going to be looking over our shoulder! Yup, it's our Sammy! He came in this week to visit, get his skin and ears rechecked, and get his medicated bath. He has gained enough weight back that some of our staff had to take a double take! He not only walks, but now runs down our hallway. It is amazing what time and TLC can do!

The majority of these bites, if not all..., are preventable. Take this opportunity to learn more about dog bite prevention and help educate others so we can all work together to prevent dog bites. Visit
