Through the LA Newswire
This week, there have been some valuable news stories for all you dog owners out there that we wanted to give you an update on, in case you haven’t heard…
ENCINO dog owners beware..
There have been several reported incidents of dogs who have been harmed, including 1 death, due to poisoning. This is a little reminder we should keep an eye on our dogs as much as possible. While acts like these break our hearts, we must ensure we keep our dogs as safe as possible and if there’s anything suspicious, be sure to contact the authorities. Learn more from the LA Times.
MICROCHIPPING may become the law in California…
and that’s good news! California legislators are considering a law that will require every cat or dog adopted at an animal shelter to be implanted with a lifesaving microchip. Read more about the microchipping law that may go into effect.
At Healthy Spot, from time to time, our friends from Found Animals will host microchipping sessions, oftentimes at a low cost sometimes as low as $5!
1.5 ACRE DOG PARK Coming Soon
The 1.5-acre park in the northwest section of the Crescenta Valley Community Regional Park will have separate entries and areas for small and large dogs. It will include drinking fountains, water faucets and hose-off and shady areas for the dogs, plus benches for their owners. Read more about the first LA COUNTY pilot progam dog park.

It’s an amazing “Race for the Rescues”!
Hey Healthy Spotters, run for a good cause – the 5th Annual Race for the Rescues is just around the corner. Sign up now for either a 5K, 10K, or even a Kids Fun Run for your kids – all to benefit 10 non-profit dog and cat rescues and animal welfare foundations. Run, walk, or adopt to help save the life of a homeless dog or cat!
This is a super-fun event we participated in last year and exceeded our expectations with raising money via the Healthy Spot team! Thanks to your love and support we were one of the top teams to contribute to the rescue organizations. Each year, these non-profit animal rescues save, house, give medical treatment and find loving homes for over 2,500 animals.
