Thursday, May 7, 6:30 p.m., AC
Contact: Tom Olsen, 512-639-2085 or
Our general membershipmeeting will be
held Thursday, May 7 at 6:30pm at the
Activity Center. The featured speaker
will be Dr. Wade Burton, DVM, who will
speak on parasite protection for your dog
and cat. Some of these parasites are hard
to detect and can do serious if not fatal
damage to your pet. Your pet will thank
you for attending and you will have peace
of mind knowing how to protect your ani-
mal from these unwanted parasites.
Many of the local animal shelters in our
area offer “Seniors for Seniors” dog and
cat adoption programs whichmatch older
or mature animals in homes with wise,
mature adults. Most people don’t real-
ize the wonderful benefits of taking in
a senior dog. These animals are usually
housebroken and have gotten over chew-
ing on your favorite shoes, sofas, rugs
(puppies and kittens can be very creative
in this area). They don’t need the high lev-
el of activity that a young puppy needs in
order to be socialized and healthy. There
is something special you get back when
you provide an older animal with a stable,
permanent home in which to complete
their lives. Please consider this option.
Animals give us so much love.
The Pet Partner Workshop for handlers
