Pet Portraits and Pet Identification Passports with Deb Bell

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Spring’s almost here and with warmer weather comes the chance that a pet might wander off, get lost, or break loose from a yard. While we never hope that our pets will get lost, it’s important to know what to do if they do go missing.

On Saturday, March 20, from 8 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., pet guardians will have an opportunity to make their pet a star while also gaining tools to help them in case Fido goes missing. Debra Bell from Bell Imaging & Design will be on hand to provide a mini-pet portrait session for $25. Included in the cost of the mini-session is a free 5×7 print, a specially designed pet passport with spaces for information about the pet, and an online gallery of the images available for up to 6 months.

Pre-registration for this event is highly encouraged. To register, sign up at Green Acres Kennel Shop prior to March 20. Snow date is March 21. Payment may be made the day of the event to Debra Bell.

Thanks! – Bangor Humane Society Low Income Spay/Neuter Clinic Helps 90 Cats

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Last week the Bangor Humane Society, with the cooperation and assistance of Dr. David Cloutier (Veazie Veterinary Clinic), Dr. Drew Benson (Broadway Veterinary Clinic), Dr. Mark Hanks (Kindred Spirits Veterinary Clinic) and Dr. Don Volk (Timberland Animal Hospital) conducted their first spay/neuter clinic for low income cat owners. A total of 90 cats (38 neuters and 52 spays) were altered in one and a half days.

This event is one small step in addressing the pet over-population issue, especially with cats. In seven years, if left unaltered, one female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats. As a result the Bangor Humane Society hopes to see a reduction in the number of kittens dropped off at the shelter this Spring and Summer.

A big thank you to the 26+ volunteers that made this possible. Staff from area veterinary clinics donated their time as did students from University College Bangor’s Veterinary Technician program, Bangor Humane Society staff, volunteers and Board of Directors.

You folks rock!
