Clinic. “Pit bulls actually have much larger litters than other dog breeds , can birth up to 13 to 14 puppies at a time, more than double the average litter by other canines.”

To effect ANY change - to forward any agenda, in short to make a difference ... the first step is engagement. ARTWALK does just that. It brings OUR community together for a common celebration and if we can do this for art and music - who is to say that WE cannot leverage that same energy and enthusiasm to forward Rotary's Mission.

The cost is $7 for a bath, $4 for ear cleaning and nail trim or $10 for bath, ear cleaning and nail trim all performed by animal health technology and pre-veterinary students.
The Humane Society will microchip dogs for only $10 each. A microchip the size of a grain of rice is inserted between the shoulder blades of a dog in a relatively painless and quick procedure.
Each microchip transponder has a unique number which enables a shelter or veterinary clinic to scan the animal for this number which will be registered with a national database allowing the owner to be contacted when the pet is found. Local veterinary offices, the animal shelter and Humane Society have scanners to read these microchips as do most across the country.
Your pet can also be added to the FREE Lost Pet Photo Registry and we'll be making pet ID tags for $3 each. For any questions on animals in our community, contact the Humane Society of Calloway County at 270-759-1884 or website humanesociety@murray-ky

What a fun way to spend the afternoon at the library! Bring your dog and have fun, fun fun!
Is your pooch less than pedigree, but loaded with charm? Does your canine companion ignore commands like "Heel!" but consent to being used as a movie-time pillow? Have you ever heard the complimentary exclamation "Hey, your dog looks just like you!"? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then your dog could be a winner in JCPL's Not-So-Pedigree Pooch Show!
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
10:00 am Best Tail Wag (Hold up the treat and watch those behinds wiggle)
10:30 am Most Shapely Couch Cushion (for dogs who are a little on the "fluffy" side)
11:00 am Dog & Owner Look Alikes (there's no shame in looking like your human)
11:30 am Walk-Along Dog (For those talented pups who can walk like two-leggeds)
12:00 pm Grinnin' Fool (whose got the winning smile?)
12:30 pm Canine Karoke (bring any music you like and get your dog to sing along)
Registration is required. Phone: 859-885-3523. Young Adult Services.youngadultservices@jesspublib.org

This year we will not have live music but will be playing a nice piece of jazz in the background. A new addition this year will be a silent auction.
If you have any nice items you would like to donate to the WR silent auction, we would be most grateful for them! Boots Lemay (my little house lamb) will be at the brunch as well as Peaches my Cockatoo! That should liven things up! Please plan to attend. The refuge is also open and we had a great turnout last year. People had a fine lunch then headed to the refuge to see our animals! ceoatwrwrhope@aol.com phone (859) 881-3449
