Research indicates that in 2016 and 2017, 1 in 8 dogs in Roanoke County tested positive for Lyme disease. In 2018, 1 in 9 dogs in Roanoke County tested positive, an improvement from previous years. It may seem hopeful that perhaps the tick population in our area is now less than what it was in previous years, however we strongly believe fewer dogs have tested positive for Lyme disease because of increased efforts to prevent disease transmission, like vaccination and year-round flea/tick prevention. So what exactly is Lyme disease and how can you protect your dog? We’ll answer these questions and more in this blog post!

Perhaps the best thing about focusing on medium-sized dogs is that there are so many options. Tons of breeds fall into the “medium” category, which has a fairly broad range. There’s wiggle room for these figures, but generally, dogs weighing between 20 and 65 pounds, and standing between 8 and 27 inches tall are considered medium size.

But as time passed by the stray continued to show up and on one particularly rainy night the manager, Emerson Mariano, took pity on the pup and invited him into the warm for some food and water.
The lonely dog seemed determined to stay and it didn't take him long to win the hearts of the staff, who adopted him as the dealership's mascot.

The law is meant to target puppy mills since pet stores often rely on them.
Two of the shops still selling dogs, Just Puppies in Rockville and Charm City Puppies in Columbia, unsuccessfully sued the state, claiming the law is unconstitutional.
Sen. Ben Kramer (D-Montgomery Co.) sponsored the legislation and said what’s happening is a clear violation of the law.
“I immediately reached out to the attorney general’s office, asked them to immediately address it and stop this from happening,” said Kramer.
Kramer said 25 weeks have passed since he initially reached out and the stores are still selling dogs.
Travis Martz, an attorney for the two shops, said their stance is they can legally sell to customers if the customers make an appointment first.
“There’s nothing in the law that states that they can’t sell by appointment,” said Martz.
FOX 5 reached out to the office of Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh asking if pet stores can sell online or by appointment.
A spokeswoman replied: “the Maryland statute prohibits pet stores from selling cats and dogs to the public, no matter what method they use.”
“That’s just incorrect,” said Martz. “The law specifically says that a retail pet store is a for-profit establishment open to the public.”
Kramer said he doesn’t see that as a loophole in the law.
“In my mind, there’s absolutely no loophole,” Kramer said.
The Humane Society of the U.S. was part of the effort to get this law passed.
“We’re in for the long fight,” said John Goodwin, Senior Director of the organization’s Stop Puppy Mills Campaign.
He said the Humane Society has also filed complaints with the attorney general.
”If we have to go back to the General Assembly, we will do that, but we’re going to make sure that dogs are protected,” said Goodwin. “And we’re not going to put up with it.”
When asked if the attorney general was aware of shops selling by appointment, a spokesperson said she cannot confirm or deny if an investigation is underway.
