We are off and running again, this year to the 147th annual Woodstock Fair in Woodstock, Ct. Last year the fair welcomed over 220,00 people from all over dispite the less than perfect weather. This year looks to be shaping up to be even better. With musical acts such as JoDee Messina, Lonestar, and Smashmouth, they are sure to draw a crowd on that alone! Best of all...WE WILL BE THERE! Lynn will be grooming stuffed demo dogs, we will be having amazing sale prices on all of our regual retail items as well as bringing in some great new items. We are so excited to be a part of something this big and hope to see you all there. Oh, and of course there will be FREEBIES!

For those of you who have never been to the Woodstock fair, here is a quick rundown of the weekend... Tractor pulls, go-cart racing, food, live concerts (free with fair admission), food, sheep, cows, food, crafts, pigs, baby chicks, food, carnival midway, vendors, Precious Furs Pet Resort :), and did I mention the FOOD!

It is going to be a great night for a great cause. If you are interested in purchasing tickets for this event visit http://www.secondchanceanimals.org/ . Hope to see you there for the animals!

Welcome "Bonnie and Clyde"

We would like to welcome the newest members of the Precious Furs family, "Bonnie and Clyde". These little cuties came to the family on February 14, 2008 and have just nuzzled their way into our hearts. These two have become amazing live entertainment not only for the staff here but also for the cats they share a room with (most of which have never seen a ferret before).

With the addition of the ferrets, we would like to answer one very popular question...YES we board exotic pets! To date we have boarded: ferrets, bunnies, parrots, and even a gecko (and his little cricket friends). The staff here has extensive knowledge of many exotic pets and we love to see all the different animals our extended family has at home.

Lynn is also more than happy to groom your exotic pet. Ferrets and bunnies can greatly benefit from regular baths, brush outs and nail trims.
