Jamestown  (CSi)  The James River Humane Society has teamed up with University of Jamestown students, during finals week, in bringing three dogs to campus, to help take off the stress sometimes associated with taking final exams.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Humane Society board member, Jay Nitchke said the in addition to the students appreciating the opportunity, it gave the dogs the chance to leave the shelter and socialize with the students.

On another topic, she pointed out with people traveling this summer with pets, it’s a good idea to have the animal receive an ID chip implanted, in case it becomes lost.

The ID chip about the size of a grain of rice, is placed under the animal’s skin, and has information that can be downloaded, with the owners name and other important information to reunite the animal with its owner.

She said the procedure is minimally invasive to the pet.

She also pointed out to have pets guarded against fleas and ticks, and to contact a veterinarian for more information.

She reminds pet owners to have their pets leashed while going for walks and to have the animals licensed, according to the Jamestown City Ordinance.

The James River Humane Society is located off the I-94 Bloom Exit, open daily from 8-a.m., to noon, and 6-p.m., to about 7:30 p.m., or by appointment, to view animals up for adoption.

Call 701-252-0747, for more information, or volunteer opportunities.

Currently the Shelter has 8-9 cats including two kittens, and about 10 dogs available for adoption.
