Holy Swollen Face Batman!
There seem to be more rattlesnakes out this year which means your dog will be greater at risk for being bitten on those warm Indian Summer hikes and outings.
As with so many things, when it comes to rattlesnake encounters, prevention is the best approach. Avoid areas known to be favorite rattlesnake haunts such as hot, sunny areas, and if you can’t avoid them, do leash your dog while in these areas. If you are unfamiliar with an area; it’s best to ask around.

The cats are stacked in the hallways and all the rooms are full to bursting – so stop by for your FREE cat or kitten through September! Every size, shape, personality and age to choose from – and they’re already spayed or neutered, have all their shots (but rabies) and an ID chip! http://staffordanimalshelter.org/available-pets/
