Wake County Update

News to Wag About
from the Wake County Animal Center

Upcoming Rabies Clinics

Each year, the Animal Center co-hosts several clinics across the Triangle, offering rabies vaccines and microchip tags at deeply discounted rates as part of our effort to help keep the animals of Wake County and the surrounding areas safe and at home with their families that love them.

This month there will be two separate clinics, one in Rolesville and one in Cary, with more to come this summer and the rest of the year.

Saturday, March 12--10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Main Street Park in Rolesville. Rabies vaccines will be available for both cats and dogs for just $5, and microchips for just $10. It will also be a great way to come by and say hello to the staff and volunteers and thank them for all the great work they do! The physical address is 200 S. Main St, Rolesville.

Saturday, March 26--**CAT ONLY CLINIC** 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cat Clinic of Cary. Through an extremely generous anonymous donation and a special partnership with Cat Clinic owner Dr. Jennifer Hodge, this cat-only clinic will offer microchips for just $1 and rabies vaccines for $5! Don't miss this amazing opportunity! The Cat Clinic of Cay is located at 2464 SW Cary Parkway.

Adoption Event
March 12-- At the Petco at Crossroads (416 Crossroads Blvd), our partners, the Wake Animal Advocates Group (WAAG), will be co-hosting an adoption event from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. that will feature some amazing animals from the Animal Center.


	Spring Will Soon be Sprung!!! Old Man Winter seems to have retired for the season, which means Spring is stirring from her seasonal slumber. With Spring comes the annual "spring cleaning" tradition. Windows, long shut and locked, are dusted off and opened for the first time. Gentle spring breezes fill the stuffy air with new life and spirit. It's time to give the floors, counter tops, bookshelves, and furniture a fresh look for the new season! Clean out those closets and make some room for some new memories! But what do you do with all those discarded blankets, towels, and unopened pet toys you find? Donate them, of course! The Animal Center is always accepting donations of pet shampoo and brushes, (unused) cat litter, paper towels, bleach and other cleaners, blankets, towels, and cat and dog toys. For a more specific list of things the Animal Center is always looking for, or for other ways you can donate to helping the orphaned animals of Wake County, check out the donations page.

	Gordy with a Heart of Gold Ten-year-old Gordy is a beautifully soft goldish labraspitz (lab/spitz mix) with an affectionate heart of gold. Good with kids and other dogs, Gordy is housetrained, knows how to strut her stuff on a leash, can "sit" and "shake," and has lots of love to give. She loves being around you, especially if you have treats or are looking to dole out some belly scratches. If you are interested in seeing Gordy, contact the great folks fostering her at Camp Canine in Cary. Click here for more information on Gordy.


	Van the Man!! Congratulations to Sarah Main and her pup, Van! Sarah's video of Van putting on a unique sliding exhibition was the winner of the the Animal Center's funniest pet video contest. See the winning video here!


	Lost and Found Picture this: you're driving home from work or to the store for the odds and ends of a recipe you've been dying to try when you see something out of the corner of your eye. It's a loose dog. It looks well fed and has a collar, but it's ID tags are missing. So what do you do now? You could post on Craigslist, Facebook, or go old school and post flyers in the area... Or you could go to the area's best resource for reuniting owners and their escaped pets:Triangle Lost Pets. Serving Wake, Durham, Johnston, and many surrounding counting, Triangle Lost Pets is totally free, and extremely easy to use.
