Don't be an easy victim!

We know this time of year can have an increase in found pets. If you find an animal call us or the police department! You can also pick it up and take it to the shelter. These pups were found at an apartment complex and the finders called us so we could make sure they were safe!

We have been very busy this week so far but we just had to show the very cool call we had this morning. We stopped to help this little turtle cross the road and then noticed he had a more pressing issue. He was covered in leeches! Once they were removed he was safely released.

We may sound like a broken record, but these temperatures are no joke! Be sure to take extra precautions with your pets when outside and always keep an eye on the weather for the day.

We’ve, unfortunately, had quiet a few of these in the past few days but all these were from today. A pet is a life time commitment and should never just be dumped. They are all safe now at Oktibbeha County Humane Society 🐾

We had an amazing morning out with Partnership Middle School’s Vet Camp kids today! They had great questions for us and were very excited to play with Michelle, a sweet mama dog that we picked up a few weeks ago.

A large part of Animal Control is improvising in any situation. That's exactly what they had to do on Friday to get this little kitten trapped 20 feet down a storm drain. The kitten, April, is now safe at the shelter. #RescueMissionSuccess💪
