LACONIA — The Laconia Pet Center on Union Avenue in Laconia has opened its "Round Up" program this month to the Lakes Region Kennel Club's Pet Oxygen Mask Program. The program asks customers to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar to benefit the Pet Oxygen Mask Program.

The Lakes Region Kennel Club Pet Oxygen Mask Fund was started in 2007. The purpose of this fund is to purchase resuscitation masks that are specially designed to use on animals. These mask kits are presented as a donation to local emergency and rescue departments to aid in the resuscitation of animals that have been trapped in burning buildings and suffering from smoke inhalation.

Linda Heath, LRKC president said "LRKC would like to express the club's sincere thanks in advance to Bethany Stockman, Laconia Pet Center and their clients for their generosity and concern for pets in New Hampshire. This donation will allow fire departments across New Hampshire to safely and efficiently administer oxygen to pets in dire need."
