Fayetteville announces puppy grams for Valentine's Day and open board position

In the heart of Fayetteville, city officials gathered to discuss exciting initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement through animal services. One of the standout proposals was the introduction of "puppy grams," a delightful service that allows residents to send shelter puppies along with a rose to their loved ones. This charming idea, which includes personalized certificates adorned with paw prints, is set to launch in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The initiative not only promotes the adoption of shelter animals but also spreads joy within the community. For those outside Fayetteville, Big Paws of the Ozarks offers a similar service, ensuring that the love of a puppy can reach even further.

In addition to the puppy grams, the meeting highlighted an open position on the Animal Services Advisory Board. A member had not attended meetings for over a year, prompting the vacancy. The board is seeking a business representative, ideally someone connected to the pet industry, to fill this role. Applications are open until February 21, and interested individuals can find more information on the city’s website or contact city officials directly.

As Fayetteville continues to foster connections between its residents and the animal community, these initiatives promise to bring smiles and companionship to many, while also encouraging responsible pet ownership and community involvement.
