The Tipton County Animal Shelter is holding a Rabies clinic. All dogs and cats of three months or older must be vaccinated and registered with the animal shelter. It is $15 for your pet to be vaccinated.

"Elvis" who captured many hearts back in February is still recovering from a severely broken pelvis after someone ran over him in Tipton County.

The driver hit him and took off.

Elvis has to go through one more month of restricted activity and more X-rays.

He will be participating in an adoption event later this month in Connecticut.

Now that the weather is warmer, local pet lovers want somewhere to run around with their pups. If you don't want to stay in your own backyard, go to one of the off-leash dog parks in the area.

There are several locations throughout the Mid-South where dogs can enjoy the freedom of being off-leash and owners don't have to fear their furry friends running out into the street.

Safe, fenced-in areas are available to the public, and the only necessity for most is that the dog be up-to-date on vaccinations.

1. Shelby Farms Dog Park: The most well-known and largest in the area. The park has recently finished updates to the area which includes water, a wooded area and large fields. There is a separate entrance for the dog area, located off of Trinity Road at Gate 12.
