Adopt a New Boo At a Discount This Weekend in Rockford

I'm a firm believer that no life is complete without an awesome dog to love up on, in fact, I love dogs so much I have three of them at home. If you agree with my dog-loving philosophy, but don't currently have a dog that fills the part, head over to Winnebago County Animal Services in Rockford sometime today or Saturday, (October 29 & 30).

Things You Need to Know Before Adopting During This Adoption Event

Winnebago County Animal Services currently has many awesome dogs available for adoption, but not all of them will be eligible for the discounted adoption fee during the next two days. All potential adopters should fill out an adoption application online before heading to the shelter if they want to make the process faster, (and not miss out on your dream dog). Adoptions during the "Make A Dog's Day" event will take place Friday (October 29) from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday, (October 30) from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Available dogs and more information about the adoption process can be found now at winnebagoanimals.org.

To prepare yourself for a potential incident, always keep your vet's phone number handy, along with an after-hours clinic you can call in an emergency. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center also has a hotline you can call at (888) 426-4435 for advice.

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
