Animal care can be a lot of work, especially in our region. On this week’s Sounding Board we’ll be joined in the studio by three volunteers from PAWS (People for Animal Welfare and Safety) to answer your questions about how to best take care of your pets.

But, of course, we also have some questions for  YOU:

  • How do you take good care of your pets?
  • What challenges have you run into in regard to pet care?
  • How are pets taken care of in your village?
  • What concerns do you have about pet care?
  • What services could be improved?

Join us this Thursday, May 21st at 10a.m. for an informative conversation. Have something to share now? You can email talk@knom.org or leave a comment below.
