Ariel and Kane built a friendship through the kennel fencing, so we decided to give them a supervised playdate together. Kane had a leash on in case we needed to intervene. Kane is usually very dog-aggressive which is why he was surrendered to us - but he would roll over and be playful towards Ariel when placed in the kennel beside her. The playdate went very well, and we will be letting them socialize together more in the future! This should help Ariel build up her muscles and should help Kane with his socialization! Win win! Ariel is wearing makeshift booties (she has real booties coming in the mail) to help her run around and play without scraping up her back feet. We are still fundraising for the hydrotherapy treadmill for her, but this is the best we can do for now!

Amos is a beautiful special-needs kitty that needs a home! He is sweet, well mannered, and used to a litter box. He was originally caught in a trap by a hunter and surrendered to us. He is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. You can find more info about him and our other adoptable pets at www.missysheart.com/pets-in-need #adoptdontshop #adoptme #adoptdontshop #adoptashelterpet
Ariel is a sweet, playful Great Pyrenees mix that was abandoned as a puppy. She had little function in either hind limb and dragged her legs behind her. She has gotten CT scans and surgical procedures to try to help fix her legs, with some success. However, we feel that we need to increase her physical therapy in order to best get her on all four feet. Unfortunately, when she tries to walk or run, her dragging limb often gets scraped up and starts to bleed, leading to pain and risk of infection. We found a relatively affordable (compared to high-end $50,000 models) canine hydro-treadmill model that we hope will allow her to exercise and grow stronger without causing damage or pain to her legs. Please help us raise the $2700 to purchase the treadmill and get Ariel on her feet!
The primary goal of Missy’s HEART is to prevent economic euthanasia and animal suffering by Helping Every Animal Receive Treatment. Ariel is a surrender under the care of Missy's HEART, and if she can get on all four feet she will be placed for adoption!
Little Odin is fighting for his life! This is some of the sad behind-the-scenes of Missy’s HEART. Odin was found by the road and surrendered to us. We are doing everything we can for him! Donations from people like you are funding his care!

Clementine was found in an abandoned building with her three kittens. She was originally very scared of humans, but she has been worked with quite a bit and is coming out of her shell. She has weaned her kittens and been spayed. Her most stunning feature is her beautiful feather-duster type tail. She is FIV positive but is asymptomatic. She will need to be placed in a single-cat household (or a household with other FIV+ kitties). If you are interested in adopting Clementine, visit www.missysheart.com/adoption-application.
Linea is a beautiful female cat with large eyes. She was originally a mother when she was found wandering outside. Her litter was successfully adopted but Linea is still looking for her forever home! She is very sweet, has been spayed, and is litter-trained. She is cautious around other cats, so she will need extra care and time to adjust if she is adopted into a multi-cat household. If interested in adopting, please visit missysheart.com/adoption-application.
Banjo is an older cat that used to roam around a local park. He was rushed to us by a concerned park-goer after he was attacked by something (either another cat or an opossum or raccoon). He had wounds along his back and scars from old injuries. Luckily, his wounds were not severe - and with some antibiotic and TLC, he is now ready to find his forever home! He has been neutered and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. He is very sweet, and craves attention and love! He can be quite vocal and often meows for attention! If you are interested in adopting Banjo, please visit www.missysheart.com/adoption-application.
