In a heartwarming segment of Good News, 7News’ Dave Hunter recently interviewed Athena Nielipinski from Fishy Friends Rescue, unveiling some uplifting events for pet owners in Lawton. This initiative not only brings community members together but also focuses on the well-being of our furry friends.

Pet Microchip Event: Ensuring Safety for Pets

Mark your calendars! On February 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Case Chiropractic, pet owners can take advantage of a vital opportunity to have their pets microchipped for just $25 in cash. This event aims to improve pet safety by ensuring that lost pets can be easily returned to their owners. Such initiatives not only strengthen community ties but also promote responsible pet ownership.

Puppy Bowl: A Community-Centric Celebration

In addition to the microchip event, Nielipinski also shared excitement about the upcoming 2026 Puppy Bowl. This fun event will feature 11 adorable puppies donned in various outfits, and community members will have the chance to vote for their favorite, ultimately deciding who is crowned the cutest. This playful competition serves as a fantastic way for people to come together and celebrate the joy that pets bring into our lives.

These events highlight the vibrant community spirit of Lawton, as they provide essential services and foster a sense of camaraderie among pet lovers. It's uplifting to witness such initiatives focusing on the well-being of pets and the community alike.
