World Rabies Day

September 28, 2013

Join us in celebrating World Rabies Day this year!

World Rabies Day is an initiative of GARC. We started it in 2007 to create a global opportunity for people to focus on rabies prevention.

Since then, it has grown year on year, with hundreds of thousands of people participating in events on or around September 28 - and at other times of year too.

The organizers and participants are people like you, whether you live in a rabies endemic area and at risk of the disease or, just care deeply about the devastating impact of the disease and want to do some thing about it.

And we're here to support, advise, celebrate and share.

Together we can end rabies.

Please check out the Global Alliance for Rabies Control website for more information about this important day.

The TN Dept of Health is heading up the program to help control rabies in the wild animal population. From Sept. 29 through Oct. 17, they will be distributing oral rabies vaccines.

Visit our facebook page for information about the local oral rabies vaccine drop.

Please join us in keeping Guy Bilyeu, the Humane Educational Society director, in our thoughts and prayers.

It's that time of the year again...

Did you know that we are a LEED certified building, making a positive impact on our environment?  

From our geothermal heating system, to our green building practices, to the solar panels covering the roof, we have attained our LEED silver certification.

What exactly is LEED, you may ask? 

LEED is driving the green building industry.


LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is transforming the way we think about how our buildings and communities are designed, constructed, maintained and operated across the globe. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED is a green building tool that addresses the entire building lifecycle recognizing best-in-class building strategies.

At its core, LEED is a program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. Building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for the project. Learn more about LEED, the facts, and the LEED rating systems.

Pet Identification

April 14th through the 20th is National Pet Identification Week! Has one of your beloved pets ever gotten away from you? Have they ever slipped out of their collar? It can happen! Please consider the peace of mind that comes with permanently identifying your pet! One of our amazing clients found two dogs wandering the streets without any collars on and brought them into the clinic. We scanned them for microchips, and lo and behold, both dogs were chipped! We were able to contact the owner right away, who was very grateful to have his babies back with him. Our client was so impressed with the success that she came right back in to get her own pets microchipped :) This is the perfect opportunity for you to microchip your own pet. Check out this link for Home Again Microchips. Visit our facebook page for a special money saving microchip deal!
