Paw pads can burn on a surface temp of 111°F. If you are walking your dog downtown today without protectant on their feet you could be causing them unnecessary pain. Not to mention the stress of crowds and heat. Please leave them at home!

*Local photo taken by one of our Animal Services Officers. The surface temp of the pavement is 124.2°F.

This holiday weekend is going to be brutal. Heat stroke is real and we have seen it in lesser temperatures this summer. Please leave your pets safe at home, especially if you are visiting the festival. The pavement can burn their feet and there is little to no shade. Be smart and make the best decision to keep your pet safe!

CAT SPAY & NEUTER

Here we are again. 15 no-shows that we need to fill! TEXT (859)737-0053 if you want a spot for tomorrow!

Our staff works extremely hard to be able to offer these clinics to the community and it is so frustrating when people choose not to follow through once they are scheduled. If this continues to be a problem we could be at risk for losing this resource!

These clinics are always available so if you cannot schedule today feel free to go ahead and reach out so we can get you a future appointment.

COST:
-FREE to Wi******er and Clark County residents that opt to have your kitty’s ear tipped to show they have been spayed or neutered. This is typically done for feral cats or pets that go outside and may roam.
-$20 residents of Wi******er within city limits. Ear tip is NOT required.
-$55 for males, $65 for females. Open to everyone else. Ear tip is NOT required.

Must be a Clark County resident. Contact Woodstock Spay and Neuter Clinic for an appointment if you are out of county.

*We also offer appointments for dogs. Check our page or call for information.

LOST CAT
Missing from Stoner Ephesus since 8/29/2026. Has a tiny notch out of the tip of his right ear which you can see if you look closely in the picture. He lives right next to a church so it’s possible someone picked him up thinking he was a stray. Please share!
