This is a great contact list!!

We sincerely apologize for any hurt and confusion our recent "Pet Emergency Contacts" has caused. We will keep the original post up, but will not be moving forward with any updating, printing or re-sharing of it. It started as an idea to print as a magnet, so very small, hopefully something people could keep on their fridge for many years. Therefore, we didn't have a lot of space for many more listings or to explain caveats for each, such as special hours. We also attempted not to include personal cell phone numbers or listings that may someday change, or anyone who may not want their info out there. So, we kept it to brick and mortar locations with public phone numbers. There was absolutely NO ulterior motive. It was just a list. Our website is a more exhaustive resource that has always included more numbers and more local resources like the info for other local rescues. Again, we apologize.

ORIGINAL POST:

‼️PET EMERGENCY CONTACTS‼️
We created this so area pet owners can have easy access to local phone numbers in case your pet needs vet care, experiences an emergency or goes missing. We'll be printing these on cardstock to hand out at community events and at the shelter and may order them as large magnets. For now, here it is to save or print. 🐾

EDIT TO ADD: We've received some corrections and additions. Find a larger, 8.5x11" version in the comments!

Attention dog owners. If your dog is microchipped, please read this article.

The Texas-based company, Save This Life, has ceased operations and that could become an issue for pet owners.
