🐶 National Mutt Day! – Mark your Calendars

Mutts Up, Pet Parents!

It’s no secret—we LOVE all pups, kitties, and creatures furry, feathered, and scaled. But, July 31st is a day the Mutts in our lives get a little extra shout-out for National Mutt Day!

In addition to requesting that you extend extra belly rubs to the Mutts in your lives, we’d also encourage our awesome Pet Parents to discover ways in which you can help and support less fortunate Mutts awaiting their forever homes. Many shelters depend on National Mutt Day for spreading awareness, receiving donations, gathering an increase in volunteer applications, etc. How will you love a little harder this National Mutt Day?

 

ImPURRRRtant reminder to any friends and family considering adoption—OUG! offers our Home-U-Go! aka HUG Program as a pay-it-forward to support, sponsor, and donate to our local shelters.

Peace, Love, & Belly Rubs
– Your BFFs at Out-U-Go!

 

July’s P.O.T.M. is…

Ted

Type: Kitty

Age: 11 months

fun fact:

Ted is a handsome boy and a huge ham! He loves to play and explore, and he’ll do anything for a tasty treat 🙂

Naperville chihuahua Lily adopted on Easter

Easter Brings a New Beginning for Naperville Senior Chihuahua Named Lily

What started off as a very sad and all too common situation turned out to be a happy Easter ending. Ms. Lily the Chihuahua was given up at 10 years of age when her family decided they no longer had time for her. Fortunately for this sweet little girl, the Naperville Area Humane Society took her, giving her new mom and dad the chance to fall in love with her.

Ms. Lily was named for the Easter holiday she was adopted on, and she is now ready for the next phase of her life enjoying endless loving care and (hooray!) daily visits from her adoring nannies at Out-U-Go!

Big hugs to you Lily, Janice, and Darryl…we are so happy for you all!

Tallahassee Dog Event: Dog Wash to Benefit the Pups at Leon County Humane Society

It’s that time of year again!! Spring is quickly disappearing, and it is warm enough for dog washing.

The Leon County Humane Society (LCHS) yearly dog washes are in full swing! All funds raised in this season’s washes are used to pay medical expenses for the adoptable companions of the LCHS.

Out-U-Go! pitched in the afternoon of May 10, 2014, to wash doggies in the shelter’s shaded backyard. We had a blast sudsing up a bunch of soggy doggies!

For more info and a full listing of 2014 dog wash dates, visit Leon County Humane Society.
