Rest in peace to our sweet friend, Silver!

Dear Pawprint Ministries friends and family, with sad hearts we share with you our dear sweet Silver passed away today. She was diagnosed with mouth cancer two weeks ago and took a severe turn for the worse last night and this morning. Sterling, Harry and I, along with her first family Dr Todd and Gina Lykins, were with her to the end. She was the sweetest and brought smiles to everyone in any room. We will love you and remember always the joy you brought to so many.

We'll see you in Margaritaville, er the Poker Run, this Saturday!

You don’t need a poker face, just some buddies and a boat to have fun at the 5 Kings Charity Boat poker run with Lady Luck this Saturday! PawPrint Ministries is in charge of DOCK 5 so come see us for the best cards and furry hugs!

Take care of your pets during the heat wave!

Summer heat is hard on pets. When spending time outside, keep an eye on dogs to prevent dehydration or heatstroke.
- Provide plenty of shade and fresh water
- Never leave a pet in a car
- Larger, hairier dog breeds are at higher risk of dehydration
- Check blacktop temperatures with your palm before walking a dog on it
