1st Choice Chiropractic collecting donations for the Humane Society of Logan County

[June 08, 2011]  By providing a free community health screening in exchange for donations to the Humane Society of Logan County, 1st Choice Chiropractic in Lincoln wants to extend a helping paw to local animals.

Donations of animal treats, chew toys, animal food and monetary gifts will be accepted at the office, 1625 N. Union St., up until June 30. Contributors are encouraged to call and set up an appointment.

The 19-point health screenings, a $189 value, will help track down even the smallest amounts of pain and will include a wide range of problems such as low back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, bulging or herniated disks, leg pain, numbness, and more. Even X-rays will be included if necessary.

Each year, approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide. Low adoption rates are one factor driving the high number of animals in shelters, but every year, millions of dogs and cats are relinquished by their owners -- or rescued from the streets by animal control officers and private citizens -- and brought to animal shelters.

These circumstances leave shelters and rescue groups with a large number of animals in need of homes and an even larger need for donations in order to help take care of them.

To learn more about the Humane Society donation drive or to schedule an appointment at 1st Choice Chiropractic, call 217-732-1111.
