Meet Penelope!
Penelope is a 4-6 month girl who came to us yesterday after being found running in the street in front of a business in Detroit. The employees secured her and took her in, but couldn't keep her at the shop. They had until closing time at 3pm to find her placement, otherwise they would have to let this sweet girl go back out on the street again. This little girl we have affectionately named Penelope (Pidder Padder) was in dire need of rescue, and we just couldn't say no. She is skin and bones, has sores on her poor little body, and was RIDDLED with fleas. To the shelter she came, the same day our sweet Vida and Solene came in. Busy busy Monday here at the shelter yesterday!
We are struggling. We need funds to vet these deserving babies, and we need fosters to step up to help them. If you'd like to foster this sweet sweet girl, here is the link to apply:

There are days like yesterday where we just need a day to ourselves to allow the heartache to flow.
Brutus came to us as an abandonment just last week. Being discarded as if he were garbage. The sadness and disbelief in his eyes were a hard pill to swallow. What choice did we have? It was either Brutus goes to animal control or we figure it out and keep him in our rescue with no space for him to go. So, we kept him.
Brutus has been AMAZING! Such a sweet, sweet soul. His presence alone lit up the darkest room. The softness in his eyes could make all your troubles disappear.
When we first met Brutus, we immediately knew something was wrong with his back legs area. He was put on medication for relief immediately with permission from our vet until he could be seen. Brutus saw the vet Tuesday for x-rays. Despite him being on three different pain relief medications, he needed to be sedated due to the overwhelming pain response. The x-rays showed our worst fears, and both hips were completely out of place. Brutus would cry when he lay on his bed completely still. We knew it wasn't a behavior cry but something more. This explained everything. Brutus was in such excruciating pain, even being on the best of meds. On top of this, Brutus had a sick heart. Unfortunately, this was also a concern due to his breed.
Sometimes, the kindest selfless act we can do is let them go in peace. It was not without heartbreak that the decision needed to be made for Brutus' health and pain relief. Brutus went in peace surrounded by those whom he loved the most and loved him.
At this time, we appreciate any negative comments kept to yourself. We are all grieving over the loss of Brutus. Brutus is missed and was loved by so many.
Brutus, my boy, in the short time we came to know you, you made a difference in all of our lives. Your love never wavered. This isn't goodbye, it's see you later. Brutus, we love you!
