Spotlight Your Pets - Send Photos for Humane Society's
2019
Calendar!
Submission deadline
Sept. 17, 2018.
Now is the time to gather up and submit your past or present pet
photos for the Humane Society's high-quality, full-color 2019 Pet
Calendar!
To be in the calendar, there is a $30 donation for the first photo and
$10 for each additional photo (applicable taxes are included in the
pricing). There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit and
your entry fee
will
support hundreds of pets in need that are still waiting for their moment
to shine.
Every photo submitted will appear in the
calendar either on a date block within the calendar or, if selected, as
one of the 12 pets of the month. Photographs must be in the Humane
Society office by Sept. 17, 2018.
Twelve photos will be
selected for special "Pet of the Month" placement. Every other photo
submitted will appear on a date square within the calendar so each pet
will have it's moment in the spotlight. You can even reserve a specific
date for an additional $5 donation - commemorate an adoption date, birth
date of person or pet, memorial date ... any date that is meaningful to
your or your pet. You might enter photos of the pets of friends or
families and ask for placements on special dates.
All proceeds
will benefit pets in our community who are not fortunate enough to have
families to care for them. Calendars will be on sale for $10 each
at the Humane Society's Holiday Bazaar and Bake Sale at the Weaks
Community Center on November 3, 2018. You receive one calendar at no
charge with your photo entry.

Doggie Day Spa & Pet ID Clinic - Sat.,
Sept. 8
Murray State University's Animal Health Technology/Pre-veterinary Club
is hosting a Doggie Day Spa and Pet ID Clinic on
Sat., Sept. 8 from
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at A. Carman Animal Health Center on College
Farm Road directly across from Calloway County High School. Proof of
current rabies for dogs old enough to receive the vaccination is
required to participate.
Murray State University animal
health technology and pre-veterinary students will bathe a dog for $10,
clean ears & trim nails for $8 or provide “the works,” bath, ear
cleaning and nail trim, for $15.
The Humane Society will microchip dogs for $10 each. A microchip the
size of a grain of rice is inserted between the shoulder blades of a
dog in a relatively painless and quick procedure. Each
microchip transponder has a unique number which enables a shelter or
veterinary clinic to scan the animal for this number which will be
registered with a national database allowing the owner to be contacted
when the pet is found. Local veterinary offices, the animal shelter
and Humane Society have scanners to read these microchips, as do most
across the country.
Little Shop of Collars will be engraving custom pet ID tags on site
beginning at $4 each. A wide selection of collars, leashes and harnesses
will also be for sale.
If you've always wondered what breed mix your dog might be, the Humane
Society will have canine DNA test kits for sale for $90. The cheek swab
can be done for you that day or the kit can be completed and mailed from
home. A canine DNA test makes a unique gift for friends and family who
have mixed breed dogs as part of their family.
All pricing includes applicable Kentucky sales tax.
For questions regarding Doggie Day Spa, Pet Identification or animal
issues in our community, contact the Humane Society of Calloway County
at 270-759-1884 or
humanesociety@murray-ky.net or like
us on Facebook.
Microchip IDs reunite pets and their families
The Humane Society of Calloway County offers microchip ID clinics
for dogs and cats regularly throughout the year, primarily in
Calloway County and in adjacent counties upon request. Microchipping
is a permanent way to identify an animal and can often lead to the
return of the animal to its owner in the unfortunate event that the
animal gets separated from its owner. The cost of the chip,
implanting the chip and registration in the national database is
only $10.
The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of
rice and is injected under the animal’s skin between its shoulder
blades. The life expectancy of the microchip is 25 years. 
Approximately two dozen Humane Society volunteers are
trained on how to inject the microchip and fill out the associated
paperwork that accompanies each chip. The Humane Society has
microchipped more than 3000 dogs and cats since the program began in
March 2006.
Statistics indicate that 30% of companion animals will
become separated from their owners at some point in their life.
According to Stephanie Hagen, Humane Society coordinator of the
microchip program and animal health technologist, “Having a
permanent way of identifying the animal is critical because
sometimes collars and identification tags will fall off.”
The identification number which appears when the pet is
scanned is directly linked to the owner of the animal and will give
the person scanning the animal enough information to reach the
owner. The contact information is kept on file in a national
database and can be updated at any time by a phone call or on the
Internet. The microchip used by the Humane Society can be “read” by
any scanner used in the United States.
Humane Society Immediate Past President Tom Rottinghaus
said, “The overwhelming majority of animals that enter animal
shelters have no identification on them. It is estimated in
Kentucky that 85% of animals that enter animal shelters are
euthanized because of overpopulation and not being able to identify
the animal’s owner. We’re trying our best to do something about
that and make happy reunions possible for lost pets and their
families.”
