📲 See the Sticker? Scan for Support. 💙

You may start noticing new QR code stickers popping up around Huntington County—and they’re more than just a sign… they’re a connection to help.

By simply scanning the code with your phone, you’ll be connected to local resources including:
✔️ Mental health support
✔️ Food assistance
✔️ Community services
✔️ Crisis help when you need it most

These stickers are part of the “Let’s Get to Tomorrow, Together” initiative—designed to make it easier for anyone to find support, anytime.

🤝 Local businesses and organizations are joining the effort by displaying these stickers and helping create a stronger, more connected community.

If you see one, take a moment to scan it—you never know when you or someone you care about might need those resources.

💙 Because no one should have to face tough days alone.

🐶🎉 Happy National Dog Day! 🎉🐶

Today we’re celebrating our loyal companions, best friends, and favorite walking buddies - our dogs! 🐾 Whether they’re big or small, playful or sleepy, every pup brings joy, comfort, and unconditional love into our lives.

At the Health Department, we also want to remind everyone that keeping your furry friends healthy helps keep our whole community healthy too!

Here are a few tips to keep your dog safe and happy:
🐕 Keep vaccinations up to date (including rabies!)
💧 Provide plenty of fresh water, especially on warm days
🦴 Feed a balanced, healthy diet
🚶‍♂️ Get regular exercise and outdoor time
🩺 Schedule routine vet checkups

And don’t forget - responsible pet ownership, like cleaning up after your dog and keeping them properly leashed, helps keep our parks and neighborhoods safe for everyone!

Give your pup some extra love today - they deserve it! 🐾💙
