BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) \u2014 In this week’s Wag Wednesday, Nick Cullen joins us in Studio B to share safety tips with pets around Thanksgiving food. He brought two adoptable (and adorable) puppies with him, Comet and Cupid, who are available for adoption at Kern County Animal Services. <\/p>\n
When sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, Cullen says to make sure to watch your pets and what they may try to eat. He says turkey is a hazard for possible bone fragments, onions and garlic are a no-go for dogs, as are chocolate desserts. The shelter recommends plain chicken, plain carrots, pumpkin puree, and whipped cream for fun Thanksgiving treats for dogs. The Nutri-Vet website has a list of generally safe foods for dogs that you can find here<\/a>. <\/p>\n If you’re looking to foster a dog, the shelter has an opportunity this holiday season. Cullen says Kern County Animal Services is hosting a drive-through foster pickup event on Wednesday, Nov 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the shelter on Fruitvale Avenue. You can drive up, fill out a foster application, let them know what kind of dog you’re interested in, and they’ll send you home with a dog from the shelter to care for on Thursday and Friday. <\/p>\n Cullen says it’s a great way for the dogs at the shelter to spend time with people during the holidays. Pick up is Wednesday between 4 and 7 p.m., and dogs can be returned back to the shelter on Saturday, Nov 29. The shelter is closed for the holiday on Nov 27 and 28. <\/p>\n Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
