Take Care of Your Pets
Pets can instill a sense of well-being, and studies have shown that pet owners have lower blood pressure, are less likely to be depressed and have higher self-esteem than people who don't care for companion animals.
Celebrate what your pet brings you by learning more about being a Responsible Pet Owner and then spend time playing with and appreciating your companion!

Simple Tips Protect Beloved Pets
National Pet Theft Awareness Day, February 14.This important day is intended to increase public awareness of pet theft as well as everyday responsible pet care.
Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year -- many abducted from their yards to be used in dog fighting rings, sold to research laboratories or puppy mills, or used for dissection or other sadistic acts. There are simple steps pet owners can take to ensure the safety of their pets:
* Keep pets indoors when not home
* Ensure proper identification with a collar and I.D. tag and identification microchip
* Spay and neuter pets; sterilized pets are less likely to roam
* Keep dogs on leashes when outside and keeps cats indoors
* Never leave an animal unattended in a vehicle
* Ensure that gates are padlocked and fences are high enough and secure
* Keep pet licenses current and keep a current photo of pets on hand
* If a pet is missing call the Humane Society
It is a tragedy that any pet owner should suffer the heartbreak of a stolen pet.
If you believe your pet has been stolen, do not delay in filing a theft report by calling 911. Pet thefts often occur in groups within the same neighborhoods, and prompt reporting will increase your odds of recovering your dog and preventing additional thefts.
