Exciting Pet Events on the Horizon: Microchip Your Furry Friends!

In a heartwarming segment of Good News, local reporter Dave Hunter spoke with Athena Nielipinski from Fishy Friends Rescue about two upcoming pet-focused events destined to bring joy to Lawton residents and their beloved companions. The first event is a Pet Microchip initiative taking place on February 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Case Chiropractic.

Secure Your Pets with Microchipping

For just $25 in cash, pet owners will have the opportunity to ensure the safety and security of their pets by having them microchipped. This simple procedure can make a significant difference in reuniting lost pets with their families, promoting a sense of responsibility and care in pet ownership.

The 2026 Puppy Bowl: An Event to Remember

In addition to the microchip event, Nielipinski shared exciting details about the upcoming 2026 Puppy Bowl. This delightful occasion will feature 11 puppies dressed in various outfits, and the community will have the chance to vote to determine the cutest puppy among the contenders. Such events not only spotlight the importance of pet adoption and care but also foster community spirit and engagement.

These initiatives led by Fishy Friends Rescue exemplify the organization’s commitment to animal welfare while bringing the community together in celebration of pets. Engaging in these events could pave the way for safer and more joyful experiences for pet owners and their furry friends.
