LOOKING FOR A LOVE-A-BULL HOME!!

I was found on the streets of DeSoto on August 18th.

When I was found, I was scared, skinny, had an ear infection, intestinal parasites and horrible skin due to allergies and infections that weren’t managed.

I’m estimated to be between 4-6 years old. I currently am not neutered, and I do have Heartworm Disease. Spears will neuter me and I will undergo Heartworm treatment before I find my forever home.

I’m currently named Eeyore due to the sad demeanor I had when I was first rescued. I am shy at first, but don’t let that fool you! After I get to know you, I love to give kisses and there’s no such thing as too many hugs!

Sam tells me I’m a very special boy so I can’t go home with just anyone. I need a home that will love & care well for me this time around, as pit bulls are often victims of abusive homes.

I’m great with kids that treat animals with kindness, and ok with most dogs, but so far, I’m not fond of cats.

A current vet check will be done with any possible adopter to ensure I go to a wonderful home.

Although it’s only December 1st, Sam is already in the Christmas spirit. She will be dressed up frequently from now until Christmas. If you come in during a “Samta period” feel free to ask for a photo with your pet(s) at no charge! If you’d like you may call ahead of time to ensure “Samta” is in the office!

This very sweet, calm and docile kitty is looking for her forever home! She was found in our parking lot on Monday. We estimate her to be around 4 months old. She’s the best snuggler anyone could ask for! A client has generously offered to pay for her first round of vaccines as well as her spaying. If you are interested in this sweet kitty please send us a message or call our office at 618-457-4813

Hello everyone!
Mosquito season is upon us! That means that many dogs not on heartworm prevention have a high risk of getting Heartworm Disease from a mosquito carrying heartworm larvae. The only way to prevent this deadly disease is to either give your dog a monthly prevention product or a veterinarian give your dog a 6 month or 12 month ProHeart Injection.
