Today is National Check the Chip Day!
5 reasons we recommend microchipping your pet
1. Microchips are permanent
2. Microchip registries prove you're the pet parent
3. Microchips increase the odds of a pet's homecoming
4. Many microchip manufacturers offer lost pet alerts
5. A microchip is forever
Is your pet microchipped? If you're not sure, your veterinarian will be able to check for you. If your pet is microchipped, is your pet's microchip registered? Contact the microchip company to register and/or update any new contact information.

Zoey is here to brighten up our Monday 💖✨ Have a great week!!

Kelsea, the miniature but mighty Dachshund. 😍
Did you know that "Dachshund" is German for "badger dog"? Dachshunds' short legs keep them low to the ground to track scents, and their narrow bodies allow them to crawl into burrows, looking for badgers. Despite their small size, Dachshunds are known for their bravery and fierceness. While Kelsea may not be hunting badgers, she sure did find her way into our hearts. 💞

***In observance of the 4th of July, we will be closing early today, Monday, July 3rd, at 6 pm, and we will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th***
Be safe this 4th of July, and keep your pets safe too!
- Keep pets indoors, with exits secure, including windows
- Walk and exercise your pets earlier in the day to avoid excessive heat and fireworks scares
- Give your pets somewhere safe to hideout, such as their crate or a closed room with blinds shut and comfortable bedding
- Provide distractions, such as favorite treats or toys, and turn up some calming music or television to drown out the noise
- Check that your pets' collars are secure and ID tags and microchips and up-to-date
- Administer anxiety medications and/or calming aids within the recommended time frame before fireworks displays have begun

We absolutely adore Buster! Looking for a small friend? Look no further - Small Chance Rescue has got you covered. Buster wants to be your best friend forever!!

Sweet little Buster is ready for a family to call his very own forever. His bio is long but accurate 😃.

Do you need a self esteem boost or someone to love you 100% of the time with his entire heart? If so, Buster may be the guy for you.

Buster came into the group from the shelter where he and 9 others were surrendered from the same home. He was filthy, had a little hair loss due to fleas, and was a little underweight. Despite maybe not having been in the best of circumstances previously, this guy is only on this earth to love his humans.

If you’re not looking for devotion, then keep on scrolling. Buster wants to be where his people are, sitting on the couch with you, sleeping on you, or tossing a toy in your vicinity. He’s playful and affectionate. He likes all people and is fostered in a home with mom, dad, 3 kids and other dogs. He is happy as can be with all the commotion of a busy household, but he’s also content just relaxing when the kids are at school and mom’s working from home. He also enjoys ALL the doggie toys, and he’ll bring them up in the couch and hang out in the pile of toys.

He is crate-trained at night time and when the family leaves the house. He wasn’t a fan at first, but he’s quiet now. When he’s kept on schedule, his housetraining is perfect. He doesn’t quite know cues of going to the door or signaling just yet, so you just have to let him in the backyard periodically and tell him to go potty. The other dogs don’t play with him too often, but one of the resident pups recently started to engage, and they’ll run circles around the backyard together. While he’d probably love another playful pup, he also seems like he’d be happy as can be with people who love him as much as he loves them. Did I mention this guy likes to snuggle, cuddle, spoon or be a dog scarf around your shoulders?

Carmel is here to remind us that nothing compares to the unconditional love and loyalty of our furry friends. 💚🐾 As if we needed reminding 😉

Hug and kiss your fur babies and let us know how you show them your love in the comments below!

Goodnight and sweet dreams 💤
