Kuranda Dog Beds

The shelter has found a great company that sells dog beds at a discounted price to shelters. Here at the shelter we do our best to keep these animals as comfortable as possible during their stay with us and feel that dog beds would make them feel that much more at home. To donate go to kuranda.com and select The North Utah Valley Animal Shelter.

Pet tip of the week

Think you need to share all of your food to your furry friend? Not when it comes to chocolate! Chocolate contains large amounts of methylxanthines which, if ingested in large amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, panting and in some severe cases abnormal heart rhythm and seizures.

Dog licensing

Anyone who has experienced the panic and sorrow of having a lost dog knows how important it is to license your pet. Our pets look to us as owners to provide food, water, shelter, and to bring them home when they have wondered. One of the best and most basic things we can do for our dogs is to license them. A license is an up-to-date, visible identification of your pet with many other benefits including:

Identifies you dog and allows you to be quickly reunited with them in case they ever get losts
Helps veterinarians contact pet owners should your pet become injured and be in need of life saving medical treatment
Ensures that dogs are vaccinated against rabies, a fatal disease
Saves the owner money on impound fees
Assures compliance with Utah State law and therefore forbids a citation for not having a license
Helps anyone who finds you pet know that your pet has an owner and is not an abandoned animal in need of a home
Allows animal control and animal shelters the ability to attempt to reach owners
Is a key to emergency planning helping owners and pets reunite in the event of a separation during an emergency

Licensing you dog saves you time, money and is a ticket home for your pet.

Surrendering a pet

The cost to surrender a pet to the shelter is $25.00 per animal if you are a part of our district. If you are out of our district the cost is $75.00 to turn over your pet. Once you have signed the animal over it becomes property of The North Utah Valley Animal Shelter.

VIP Pet

A VIP pet is not only a shelter favorite, but possibly your new best friend as well. VIP pets are $200 dollars and the extra money that is donated goes to helping the other available pet in getting adopted.
