Local Medical Issues
There are numerous local medical issues that can impact your pet's health, and that require your attention over the entire year. For example, there's heartworm, which can affect both cats and dogs. Since it's transmitted by mosquitoes, which thrive in our region, it's a serious cause for concern. But since the winter temperatures do not always stay cold enough here to kill mosquito eggs, it's a year-round risk. Likewise for the potential for flea and tick infestation, or intestinal parasites, each of which poses a problem in any season. And finally, contrary to what you'd expect, allergies are a year-round issue. Many pets suffer from skin and ear allergies, the signs of which include scratching, redness in the ears, and "scaly" skin.
We harness the scale and strength of our global network while acknowledging each individual's contribution. We work locally to improve the lives of all who interact with our brand.

Snarr Animal Rescue
Our mission is to give hope to the hopeless. We focus on animals least likely to receive another chance due to physical, emotional, behavioral, or health issues. We strive to prove these animals in need have the desire for another chance, the ability to respond in a positive manner to the opportunity, and with compassionate care will heal and thrive with a renewed spirit. Through our efforts, by example, we hope to inspire other rescues and the public to do the same.
