Watching Precious make quick work of his new treat puzzle definitely reminded us that he’s the real reason everything runs ship shape here at MCHA. 😂 #ClinicCat #AHumbleGenius
Roscoe was more than happy to get his nails trimmed at our last #StreetOutreach day, because he knew that meant he was going to get some cuddles too! They don’t make pups much sweeter than Roscoe 🥰 #MCHA
We took one look at Elekus’ sweet face and knew we had to spend the end of his appointment doing nothing but giving him treats! Is there anything better than big goofy boys like these?! 😍#MCHA #NonprofitClinic
Did you notice our Vet Tech Colleen administering a vaccine in the background? Because Armani sure didn’t! That’s the magic of spray cheese! 🧀 #MCHA #NonprofitClinic
Raven, a new pup to our #CrisisHousingCenter is a great example of “slow and steady wins the race”! She’s still not quite sure what to make of us, but one treat and one pet at a time, we’re here to let her know everything is going to be alright, and she’ll be back with her person in no time at all! #MCHA #KeepingFamiliesTogether
This brother and sister currently staying in our #CrisisHousingCenter don’t care a single bit about the rain! These two are just as happy as can be romping around in the mud, as long as they’re together 💚 #MCHA #KeepingFamiliesTogether #bestbuds
In the MCHA Clinic, a blanket is often not just a blanket. Sometimes they are little Rudy’s just trying to get some rest. 💤💚 #MCHA #CrisisHousing #beinglittleishardwork
This one definitely had our hearts racing! Good thing we had a peanut butter Kong handy to soothe the beast. #PittiePlaytime #WatchThosePuppyTeeth #CrisisHousing #MCHA
Gage had her routine wellness appointment at the MCHA Clinic today and still found time to show off her awesome treat-catching skills!
Not a single crumb dropped! We think she could have a future as an IU athlete for sure. ❤️🐶🤍
What a crowd!
We had close to 300 human and canine participants this year, and we just can't get over how amazing it is to see so many of our supporters all together at once! 💚

4 month old Kiarah stopped by the MCHA clinic this afternoon for some vaccines and one heaping spoonful of peanut butter. That's what we call a satisfied customer! 💚
"Purr my last email..." 🐱
You know it's a crazy Monday when even Precious the Clinic Cat (Office Manager) has to hop on his computer to get some work done. We're so lucky that he can still find the time in his busy schedule to lend a hand!

Ever wonder why we so frequently ask for spray cheese donations?
Chomper can show you! (Volume up for those soothing ASMR noises 🧀)
This brave boy visited the MCHA Clinic last week and was so busy savoring every morsel of cheese that he hardly noticed getting his exam or two vaccines!
Maybe that's why it's called "Easy Cheese"? 🤔
Spring is in the air, and in Professor Plum's terrarium!
These adorable little guys are called Dairy Cow Isopods (because of their black and white spots! 🐄), and they're part of Plum's bioactive Corn Snake habitat. They act as custodians for his enclosure, living in the substrate and coming to the surface to clean up shed skin and animal waste, which then gets recycled into nutrients in the soil that feed the plants! There's a whole little ecosystem happening in one enclosure, and the fact that these isopods are now naturally breeding means that this environment is healthy and functioning beautifully!
Next time you stop by the MCHA Clinic, take a close look in Plum's tank to see if you can spot these little friends hard at work! 💚
Over the weekend, one of our Animal Ambassadors, Professor Plum, gave a staff member quite the scare when they found him casually exploring the restroom at the MCHA Clinic. Upon checking our security cameras, it appears that Plum is quite the little houdini and managed to pop open the lid of his tank just enough to squeeze out and go on a very brief adventure. Since then, Plum has received a very stern talking-to, and we have ordered some sturdier latches for his tank!
Fun fact! 🐍
Corn Snakes like Plum are a native species to North America and can even be found as far north as New Jersey. Plum has recently shown signs that he isn't quite finished with brumation (hibernation for snakes), so we're helping ease him into spring by placing some small blankets on the outside of his tank to help dim the sunlight!
