We have SIX dogs ready for their FOREVER HOME. Arranging from 3 months old to five years old.

Norm- 3 months old with heart arrhythmia. At this time he does not need medicine but will have to have an Echo the rest of his life which starts at $800 and can go higher.

Romeo- 5 years old came into rescue underweight and neglected. Loves to be cuddled and loved. Get along with other dogs and a happy go lucky boy with A LOT of energy.

Thunder- Almost 2 years old. Been around cats and other dogs with no issues. This guy has a lot of energy and goes on three mile walks a day. He has had knee surgery on both legs because of tears.

Gypsy- 4 years old came into rescue because of domestic abuse. Her momma wanted her at a safe place. This girl loves loves toys and people. She does have some hip dysplasia but it doesn't slow her down. She is dog selective. If you are looking for a ride or die girl she is your girl.

Raven- 2 year old puppy mill momma that isn't sure of the world she would do best with another dog that is out going to show her the world is not scary and a fence yard.

Momma Becky- between 1-2 years old came into rescue pregnant and is finally ready for her new home. She does have slight tears in her knees that currently do not need surgery. This girl had an echo and it was clear. This girl loves life and is learning all about being a young pup.

Please keep in mind the following

*We match dogs up based on the personality of the dog, what the dog needs and the application. This works VERY well for us.

*We adopt anywhere in the United States and Canada. YOU must come to the location the dog is at for pick. We do not allow our dogs to be shipped, transported or flown. ( Unless you have a private aircraft then we can discuss things.

*If you put in an application please contact your vet and give them permission to talk to us. If they do not have permission this can slow down the process.

*We do not give the direct location the dogs are at for the privacy of our fosters. Keep in mind we cover Ohio Michigan, parts of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

*If you rent we will need your rental contract.

*If you live in Canada we will need proof of ownership of your property. We look up every application ownership of property. With Canada laws we cannot

As always please share you never know who might be looking

SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST?

Definitely longer than a year!

According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Schultz, Ph.D. – “ Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions.”

What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)?

Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds:

“Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001).

Severe and fatal adverse reactions include:

•Susceptibility to infections.

•Neurological disorders and encephalitis.

•Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression.

•Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001)”

SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST?

According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): “Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter”

Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz:

Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines:

Distemper- 7 years by challenge
Parvovirus – 7 years by challenge
Adenovirus – 7 years by challenge
Canine rabies – 3 years by challenge

The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems!

What’s a titer test?

A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.

It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination.

Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE!

According to Dr. Dodds:

“Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance.”
