We've reached a monumentous achievement at Avon this month... we have officially taken in and adopted out 200 animals!!!

We are so incredibly proud of our staff for taking on this extra responsibility and helping our community in a big way. This program is above and beyond our full-time job and patient responsibilities. It often looks like coming in early, staying late, weekend visits, and taking pets home for the love and care they deserve. It is hundreds of hours spent feeding, cleaning, organizing, calling, messaging and screening to ensure all of our adoptees go to the best possible home. This has taken significant teamwork, passion, care, and dedication from our caring staff members.

We want to thank everyone who has helped us with this adventure whether it be with donations, helping us trap stray animals, adopting from us, or sharing our posts. Every little bit helps!

We are so thankful for all of the happily ever after's we have helped create and look forward to continuing this work in the future 🥰😌😁

* COURTESY POST*

We are posting this on behalf of our friends on the South Shore who have been working hard on managing a colony of 25+ cats. They've got two young boys up for adoption:

Happy and Walter are bonded five month-old tuxedo kittens with cute white bobs on their tails. They may look similar but their personalities are quite different. Happy is confident and affectionate and Walter is a bit more cautious and plays hard.

Both have been neutered, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV and received their first vaccinations.

Adoption fee: $350 for both Happy and Walter. They are priceless but we would like a few dollars to help cover their medical costs. If you would could offer them a loving home, please email [email protected] or call/text 902-521-5245.

Consider masking when coming into Avon Animal Hospital... Puppy Fever is going around!! 🐾🤩😷🐶😂

This photo was taken on August 29 and the 3 newest (and most adorable) honorary members of staff include:
Ruthie, 2.25kg, (9 week cocker spaniel) with her proud momma Chelsea (practice manager)
Feargal, 15.4kg, (11 week old Saint Bernard puppy) with his momma, Dr. Kim (equine doctor)
Roo, 9.3kg, (14 week pittie mix) with her momma, Dr. Megan (small animal doctor)

Surprise appearance from Dr. Megan's 9-month old baby girl, Tova, who is Roo's built in best friend!

Stay tuned to see how these 3 pups grow at such different rates 🐾💜

Have you ever seen more picture purrrrfect kittens?! These 3 will soon be on the look for their furever homes! They did leave their mum a bit young so in their best interest they should go home in a pair or with another young cat in the home to teach them the ways. We do have a few folks left on our kitten list that we will reach out to first but are always taking names to add to our list. If you are interested, please email [email protected]

A friendly reminder, phone calls will not be returned and we cannot accommodate drop in visits due to the busy in and outs of the clinic. We must keep our phone lines and front desk available for emergencies.

Owner found- thank you

A Good Samaritan has brought in a hit by car cat who is sadly deceased. She is a female, long hair tuxedo found near 3011 Bog Rd. She is well groomed and obviously loved. No microchip and hard to say if she is spayed. We hope we can reunite her with her people.e

We've got a very special little duo looking for their furever home!

These two tough kittens didn't have the greatest start to life but thanks to a little luck and the goodness of people, they have a second chance! Little Rose (left, female, brown tabby) wandered into a good Samaritan's yard with her eyes crusted shut, emaciated, dehydrated, and a nose so congested she was struggling to breath. The good samaritan noticed that there was another kitten with her (right, male, grey tabby) who was not as sick and had the energy to avoid trapping initially.

The wonderful people took Rose inside for the night and kept her safe, warm and fed until the next morning when we were able to step in. They were kind enough to help us trap her sibling and by the following morning, we had a nervous little grey fluffy kitten in the trap who we affectionately named Thorn.

Rose needed around the clock care for the first couple of days and she spent the weekend with our dedicated technician, Lauren, while Thorn had some quiet time to himself to come around to this big scary world. While both feral, Rose was just too ill to be scared and soaked up all of her cuddles and extra care. The following Monday, the two were reunited and it was like they never spent any time apart. They immediately snuggled up with each other and with Rose by his side, Thorn finally accepted love and pats.

Over the next week, Thorn made big steps, becoming braver everyday. He takes a minute to warm up to new people but with time and patience, his big purr comes up and loves his chin rubbed or a bum scritch. Rose is an outgoing little lady who is eager to show her brother that humans are actually pretty great.

They have both healed well from their assumed Feline Herpes Virus, a common feline upper respiratory virus. They could have flare ups of this condition in times of stress, however with a good diet, minimal stress and immune supplementation, they will be able to live completely normal lives.

These two have faught hard to stay together and are looking for a fantastic home to welcome both of them into their home so they can finally be feisty kittens. If you are interested in adopting our Thorn and Rose, please email us at [email protected].

💥🐴 Equine Shockwave Therapy – Supporting Healing & Performance 🐴💥

👉 What is it?
Shockwave therapy uses targeted pulses of energy to stimulate healing in tissues. It’s a non-invasive treatment that has been widely used in both human and veterinary medicine.

👉 How does it help?
Shockwave encourages increased blood flow and cell activity in injured areas, which can:
• Speed up healing
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Improve mobility and comfort

👉 Common conditions treated include:
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Joint issues and arthritis
• Back and neck pain
• Wound healing support

This treatment is safe, effective, and can often shorten recovery times for horses dealing with musculoskeletal issues.

Whether your horse is an athlete in training, recovering from injury, or simply needing extra support, shockwave therapy can be an effective part of their care plan.
