Exciting Events Ahead: Pet Microchip Day and the 2026 Puppy Bowl

In a heartwarming segment of Good News, 7News’ Dave Hunter recently spoke with Athena Nielipinski from Fishy Friends Rescue, highlighting two upcoming events that are sure to bring joy to pet lovers in Lawton, Oklahoma.

Pet Microchip Event

Mark your calendars for February 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., as Case Chiropractic hosts a Pet Microchip event. For just $25 in cash, pet owners can ensure their furry companions are securely microchipped, enhancing their safety and reunification chances if lost. This initiative underscores the importance of pet identification while fostering responsible ownership within the community.

The Puppy Bowl is Coming!

Furthermore, get ready for a delightful competition as Fishy Friends Rescue gears up for the 2026 Puppy Bowl event. In a fun twist, 11 adorable puppies will don various outfits, and the local community will have the opportunity to vote on who they believe is the cutest. This event not only entertains but also engages the community in celebrating the joys of pet companionship.

These events are a wonderful reminder of the positive impact that community initiatives can have, demonstrating how a collective effort can enhance pet safety and spread joy through friendly competitions.
