This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spot? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg - far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders.

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet - just have it checked regularly!

🌟UPDATE: RESCUE FOUND🌟

URGENT RESCUE NEEDED!!

At 4:45AM a member of the public dumped these bottle babies at our front door.
They are screaming from hunger because they are less than 2 weeks old and they NEED their mama.
We understand that things happen and people may need help and resources. We are happy to provide them. However, we need time to prepare for these types of cases. (That’s why we do managed intake.) We do not keep puppy formula in stock (it’s actually not easy to get) and it expires very quickly.
We are now scrambling this morning to try to find rescue and puppy milk replacer so these babies don’t die. Instead of being able to clean, take care of the animals already here who have their own needs and preparing to open the shelter for the day.
Yes, we are an animal shelter, but that does not automatically mean an animal is safe when they are left at our front door without warning.

Please tag rescues below.
Rescues, please call the shelter for info on pulling these babies. (859)635-2819 ext. 0

Every rescue is doing the best they can, most are all full, and the shelters are all full! We are trying but can’t keep up. Dogs will not be saved.

Please rescue. 🙏❤️🐾
