We connected our pets with some wonderful families this last week. This includes Nona, the sweet Shepherd girl who was left tied to a pole at our center early one morning. She had some bad teeth and needed extractions, but now that her dental is done, she is enjoying life with her new mom. Six year old Lena was adopted as a kitten and returned last year after being in a home for 5 years. She is a round girl who could stand to lose some weight so she gets to go on an official diet now that she is queen of her castle. We also saw off kittens Spring Roll and Ramen and our 1 year social tabby girl Kate. Congratulations to all of our adopters and thank you for supporting animal rescue🩵

Almost two years ago, we took our beloved Farina into our care shortly after she delivered her puppies at another nearby animal shelter. While we are still grieving the untimely loss of our beloved girl, we felt it was important to turn tragedy into an opportunity to help other animals in need.

And as it turns out, our friends at the Murray County, Georgia Animal Shelter had recently taken in a mama dog and her six puppies. Because they were overcrowded, they needed to get these dogs into rescue…

…and so we leapt into action and trucked down to Georgia to pick up this crew and bring them home with us! World, meet Isabella and her puppies Nook, Cranny, Slider, Daisy Mae, Brewster, and Celeste. The pups are still getting settled and will needed to be fully vetted, but they are happy and playful—we’ll share a pupdate when they’re available for adoption!

In loving memory of Farina💔

Our hearts are broken. She was a shining light to everyone she met and we are devastated that we have to share this post. Our dear Farina passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday morning. She had been undergoing treatment for heartworms but was doing well with everything. We asked the vet to perform a necropsy on her which showed nothing obvious, so their best guess is that she had a blood clot--which is a known risk of heartworm disease and treatment. We had seen her and interacted with her earlier that morning, and she was her happy, normal self. It was a complete shock to us all and very hard for the staff to find her that way.

Farina came to us from another shelter in 2023 after delivering a litter of 8 puppies. We helped her wean her puppies and ultimately adopted all of them out successfully. Heartworm disease can take months to show up on bloodwork, so we don't know if Farina came to us with heartworms, or if the worms resisted preventive treatment, which can sometimes happen.

Farina was doted on by many volunteers, board members, and staff with regular outings and love. She loved car rides, stuffies, lazy days, and always had her tongue sticking out. She was just adorable! She was our family and we were hers. She always had a home with us and we are all devastated by her absence.

We cannot overstate the importance of monthly heartworm preventive to keep your pet healthy and thriving. Unfortunately, heartworms are growing more resistant to treatment, so it's also important to have regular bloodwork done on your dogs. We share this information in the hopes that it can prevent misfortune.

Thank you to everyone that loved her and is affected by this loss as we know she touched many lives. Thank you for your thoughts as we have to carry on during this most difficult time. Until we meet again…🌈🐾

In the wee hours of the morning last weekend, a Red Bank police officer saw a small animal on the Highway153 bridge as he was driving back from the jail. At first, he thought it was a baby opossum, but he turned around and drove back, knowing that any baby animal standing on the median of a bridge at 4 AM needed his help. As he approached the animal, he was surprised to find a sweet little kitten. Despite the fact that she had likely been tossed from a car and was suffering from an abrasion on her lip and an obvious leg deformity, the kitten was all purrs and biscuits.

The police officer took the kitten--aptly named Bridget, since she was found on a bridge--home to safety until he could bring her to our shelter during opening hours. We sent her promptly to the ER where it was determined that her back right femur was broken and required an amputation as soon as possible. Bridget underwent surgery this past Wednesday. We're happy to report that Bridget is now recovering in a wonderful foster home (thank you, Becky!) She is still very weak and not moving around much, but she is no longer in terrible pain, and gains a little more strength every day. We can't wait until she starts running--stay tuned for more updates!

If you would like to contribute toward the cost of Bridget's ER visit and surgery, you can donate on our website: https://petplacementcenter.charityproud.org/Donate.
