The transition back to school can be exciting, but it can also bring stress and anxiety—for students, parents, and educators alike. Remember, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed during times of change.

🐾🎉 Happy National Dog Day! 🎉🐾

We love our furry pups and couldn’t resist showing them off today 🐶❤️🐕.

While you’re giving your dog some extra treats and belly rubs, it’s also a perfect time to double-check that their rabies shots are up to date. It keeps them safe, and it keeps our whole community safe too.

For a schedule of our free rabies vaccination clinics visit:https://cms2.revize.com/revize/otsegocountyny/2025%20Clinic%20Schedule%20flyer.pdf

Post a pic of your dog in the comments so we can all smile today! 🐾🐕🐾
