Pictorial Past
This is a picture from the 1920s, almost 100 years ago of the Emmelhainz on
Broadway and Park Street. Notice the gasoline pump in the left of the picture near
the street. Over the many years, this location served the area with automotive
repair businesses, and at one time an Auto Sales Showroom for Regals and
Studebakers autos, a coffee shop and present day this well-aged building in the
historic Grove City Town Center, is The Hop Yard 62. The photos and information
in the Pictorial Past are provided by Don Ivers, curator of the Grove City Welcome
Center and Museum.

Pet Corner
Pet FBI to provide county with microchips
Pet FBI Executive Director Leslie Poole
announced that the Columbus-based
nationwide online lost and found pet service
organization has launched a collaboration
with Franklin County Dog Shelter to
provide microchips for all reclaimed dogs,
free of charge, during the month of
October.
Due to the pandemic, Pet FBI has not
been able to participate in microchip clinics
this spring and summer. Poole felt that
directing the funds to the county was a way
to continue to support Pet FBI’s mission of
reuniting lost and found pets with their
families.
“Microchips greatly increase the
chances that your pet will get home quickly
if they ever become lost,” said Poole. “Pet
FBI is happy to partner with the Franklin
County Dog Shelter to ensure more pet
owners can take this important step to protect
their pets.”
“We are excited to join forces with Pet
FBI and offer free microchipping to
reclaimed lost dogs,” said Kaye Persinger,
director, Franklin County Dog Shelter.
“When our wardens find stray and lost
dogs, the shelter’s ultimate goal is to
reunite the family. Multiple studies have
shown that microchips are an incredibly
Pets of the week
effective tool to help with reunification. If a
lost dog is discovered to have a microchip,
that dog often is returned in the field and
will never step paw inside the shelter.”
Poole encourages everyone with
microchipped pets to contact the company
where their microchip is registered to be
sure their contact information is current. A
veterinarian can scan a pet and provide
microchip company information to the
owner.
“We also encourage anyone finding a pet
to search the free lost and found database
at PetFBI.org as well as having the pet
scanned for a microchip,” Poole said.
On their website, Pet FBI provides tips
to people who have lost a pet, including
encouraging in-person searches at local
shelters. Through the collaboration with
FCDS, Poole estimates that approximately
100 reclaimed dogs will be microchipped.

Tater Tot, a 6 yearold
boy, got to go on
a sleep-over with a
volunteer this past
weekend. She
reports this handsome
guy “was a
delight and has lots
of love to give!” He
can be timid in certain
situations so he’ll need slow introductions
into new situations. He is housebroken and is
content to lay around most of the time. Tater
Tot is good on a leash and likes to sit in chairs.
Schedule an appointment at the Franklin
County Dog Shelter to meet this great guy
today.

Roxanne is sweet,
gentle, and kind. She
prefer to be the only
pet in the home. She
gets a little anxious
when left alone, but
with positive reinforcement
training
and plenty of treats,
Roxanne will settle
into her new environment. She’s a chill, gowith-the-flow
gal and can’t wait to crash on
your couch after a long walk. Ask an adoption
counselor at the Franklin County shelter to
meet with her.

Nanny was found
with terribly infected
eyes and an upper
respiratory infection.
She has had both of
her eyes removed so
she is blind and she’s
missing much of her
tail. Nanny is 5
months of age. Don’t
let her challenges
fool you; Nanny can do anything she puts her
mind to. She is up for adoption through
Colony Cats and Dogs.

Norman was rescued
with a badly
infected leg and had
to have it amputated.
He gets around just
fine though and is
happy and healthy.
Norman is 4 months
old. He is good with
other cats and dogs.
He is available for
adoption through Colony Cats.
