MARQUETTE -- The Animal Medical Center hosted a fundraiser Sunday for the Marquette City Police.

Staff members from the center volunteered their time.  They clipped dogs and cats nails for $5 and for $30, pets got a microchip so if they are lost, the owners could be contacted.
    
All funds will be going to purchase two new canines for the Marquette City Police.

"It was a great turnout today, lots of nail cuts and micro chips.  It's been busy since a quarter after eleven, and it didn't start until noon," said K-9 Patrolman, Todd Collins.

Nero, their only dog, will be retiring soon.  They should have the two new canines picked out by the end of this month.
