๐ŸฆŸHello! MCFLEA!๐ŸฆŸ

Marty McFlea came to Fox Valley Humane as a stray at the beginning of November. He had a severe flea infestation, hair loss and was unable to put any weight on his back legs.

After gaining strength both in the shelter, and within his foster home, he is now ready to be adopted!

About Marty McFlea:

๐ŸฆŸ8 year old neutered male.
๐ŸฆŸNow flea free!
๐ŸฆŸX-rays showed us that Marty has some crushed vertebrae from an old injury. He can walk fairly well now, but still has difficulty with balance at times.
๐ŸฆŸVery affectionate, and loves pets and kisses!
๐ŸฆŸHas fought hard up to this point, and is now ready to live the rest of his life surrounded by love and luxury!

Interested in meeting Marty McFlea? Call us at 920-733-1717 to set up an appointment to meet him!

What is our Sleepover Event?

๐ŸŽ…This event gives our pups the opportunity to hang out with you over the holidays! Host one of our shelter dogs in your home December 23rd-26th, making their holiday merry and bright.

๐ŸŽ…It is scientifically proven that even a short break from the shelter can help lower cortisol and stress levels. By spending time in a home they are given the opportunity to rest and decompress and return to us feeling more relaxed. Similar to taking a vacation ourselves!

๐ŸŽ…It also gives us the opportunity to learn more about dogs and how they may do in a home setting, which improves their chances of finding the perfect home!

Update: Steve secured a foster this afternoon! Thank you for sharing his post!

โš ๏ธSteve needs OUT of the shelter!โš ๏ธ

In typical shepherd fashion he is really struggling in the shelter environment. He is a staff favorite and watching him suffer is taking a toll on both him and us!

We are actively seeking a foster to get him into a home where he can thrive.

Ideal foster home for Steve:

โœจWith or without children.
โœจNo other pets, or potentially one other confident and stable dog companion!
โœจThe empathy needed to live with a dog that suffers from isolation distress.

Please help us give this guy the success he deserves! If you are not a good fit for foster, please share to expand our reach to find him a place before the holidays!

๐ŸฐMeet the most handsome, Roger Rabbit!๐Ÿฐ

Roger Rabbit came into the shelter as an emergency surrender.

What we have learned about this cutie since arrival:

๐Ÿฐ9 year old neutered male.

๐ŸฐRoger Rabbit is a super sweet guy and loves being pet so much he will lean into your hand. He is a bit shy at the shelter but once he warms up, he is very affectionate.

๐ŸฐSince Roger Rabbit came in as an emergency surrender and we don't know his history with other pets, we recommend slow introductions to other animals!

๐ŸฐWe are looking for a home for Roger Rabbit with respectful children that can give him the space he needs to feel comfortable!

Don't hesitate to give us a call at 920-733-1717 for more information on Roger Rabbit!

Adoptions are by appointment, which can be booked here:

๐ŸŒญWhere are our dachshund lovers?๐ŸŒญ

Luna has had quite the year, and she is ready to find her soft place to land!

Here is what we know about this sweet girl!

๐ŸŒญ 2 year old dachshund mix, spayed female.
๐ŸŒญ Would thrive in a home without other animals, her guardian was attacked by a large dog while Luna was with her - Luna is now fearful of large dogs.
๐ŸŒญ Luna would benefit from a home where someone has lots of time to spend with her! She is a velcro girl and can be anxious when alone.
๐ŸŒญ Overall a fun, quirky girl that is sure to bring you joy!

Luna may need a little extra support in her new home, but she will make up for the work with lots of love!

Luna is available for adoption or foster-to-adopt to ensure she is a good fit.

๐ŸŒžWe just wanted to say THANK YOU ๐ŸŒž

We appreciate each and every one of you that followed along with us this week as we reflected on 2024.

And a huge thank you to everyone that chose to donate to us for Giving Tuesday 2024! It means the world to us.

๐ŸŒžBecause of you, we are able to provide love and care for cats like Mr. Roboto (below) who has needed a little bit of extra support during his transition to shelter life.๐ŸŒž

๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›Another way that Fox Valley Humane has served our local community in 2024 is by helping with Trap, Neuter, Return! ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

By offering low cost spay/neuter, vaccines, and ear tipping to this community cats we are able to let them continue to live their best lives outdoors while not reproducing.

In 2024 we have provided TNR services to 1,124 cats year to date!

Part of the reason we are able to offer these services at such a low cost is because of donors like you!

๐Ÿ’‰One way that FVHA continues to support our community each year is by providing low-cost vaccine clinics!๐Ÿ’‰

๐Ÿ’‰In 2024 we provided almost 3,000 vaccinations!

๐Ÿ’‰This positively impacts our community by making vet care more accessible, as well as helping stop the spread of disease by increasing the number of vaccinated animals within our community.

๐Ÿ’‰Donations are what helps keep these community programs funded!

Consider making a donation to FVHA during this week of giving, our donation match of up to $10,000 is still in effect!

โคOur hearts remain warm on this chilly Thursday reflecting on our adoptions in 2024!โค

Fox Valley Humane has placed 1,230 animals year to date in 2024. We are proud to have been a part of so many pet's journeys.

One of these successful adoptions was Scully, who came to us when her owner could no longer care for her.

Her new family says: "Scully is doing great! Yes, she's staying Scully. I had a Scully as a kid, it's meant to be! She's the sweetest snuggle bug, but has lots of fun playing too.

Thank you for the care you provided, seeing her potential and putting the effort into her health. She met her new vet and we are on a slow and steady diet plan!"

โค Did you adopt from FVHA? We would love if you shared your positive adoption experiences below!

Our Week of Giving continues, including our match up to $10,000! With your donations we can continue to facilitate successful adoptions like Scully's.
