Thank you so much supporters who donated to plums care. She is so happy and safe in her fosters home.

We were told this litter was being sold off at 4 weeks of age.

Please SAY SOMETHING, SPEAK UP, REPORT, if you see puppies being sold or given away under 8 weeks. It is SO wrong to do this. These pups need their mom and siblings for socialization at this age. It’s SO crucial.

Today we took in a 3 week old pup who allegedly was found on the side of the road in a box between Eveleth and Virginia. We brought “plum” to the Ely Vet clinic, she was examined and found to have a cuterebra. ( photos in comments) It was removed and she is now on antibiotics.

If you know anything about this situation, everything will remain anonymous, we’ve already received multiple tips. This pup is now safe and warm, but very upset without its mom and siblings. We have been told these pups were for sale, which is unbelievable considering their SO young, puppies cannot leave their mom until minimum 8 weeks of age. They lack serious socialization and care.

Email or message us if you know anything please.

Or… send us a message anonymously.

If you’d like to donate to his care and vet bill you can do so below.

Thank you.🩷

How could anyone resist this face?😞 she has been with us now for 78 DAYS, anyone willing to foster?

She’d be an amazing companion for someone.

Meet Melanie! 🩷 low adoption fee.

She is a mixed breed, roughly 2-3 years old , 55 pounds, spayed and fully vetted. She arrived to us with 8 pups who’ve all been placed in homes. Now it’s her turn!
She is an absolute sweetheart, she smiles and her tail wags nonstop.
She loves to get butt scratches, lounging on a comfy bed, VERY FOOD motivated, loves going for walks or just hanging outside in the sunshine! Loves car rides. She appears to be potty trained ( no guarantees), and is quiet in her kennel here. She’s done great with every dog she has met here, (BUT DOES NOT ENJOY DOGS JUMPING ON HER, or ANY critters who doesn’t respect her personal space, she’s GREAT at coexisting with dogs but does not like energetic dogs) her favorite is Marvin our directors Newfie. Melanie sometimes will chase cats (best to go to a cat free home to be safe! ) but is VERY human friendly! She does great with kiddos!

If you’re interested in meeting this sweetheart! Apply below!

Only $100.00 left to our bill being paid. Thank you soooo much who’s supported and donated already.

Supporters,

Last Friday we were made aware of a Pug that was found in a ditch injured. Puggy was brought into the clinic right away in the morning, put on IV fluids and pain meds right away. Sadly in surgery our little friend succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

We are hoping to raise enough $$$ to cover Puggys bill. It ended up being roughly $900.00 for exam, X-rays, surgery and cremation.

If you can donate, it would be so much appreciated. We are thankful Puggy died with loving humans surrounding him and having pain meds on board.

Thank you everyone showed support for Puggy: the caring citizen who stopped and picked up Puggy lying on the side of the road, City of Deer River Police Department, Itasca County Sheriff's Office, Ely Veterinary Clinic, Hero’s Heart, Vicki L Kemppainen, and everyone who sent positive vibes.

Ming! 🩷😊

In need of donations! 🐱🩷 This sweetie came to us with a large mass that needed to be removed. Unfortunately after the first surgery it came back filling with fluid very quick, our decision was to either euthanize or amputate the leg, as it most likely is a nasty cancerous mass. We took the leap of faith, and proceeded with amputating. She is just too sweet, and happy to euthanize. She stole all of our hearts and she is worth the chance. A leg amputation is not cheap, if you’re able to donate, we would be so thankful. As for now Ming is recovering great, eating and drinking. She doesn’t even appear like she knows it’s gone. Thanks to the amazing Dr Jen at the EVC. We are so thankful for the amazing vets we have! Venmo: contentedcrittersmn

ROT LOVERS!‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷 Meet this extremely cute duo! 🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷 Blaze & Bella. They have a second chance at having a great home. They were taken into a home for month, their owner fled the state and left them behind in the home. They are absolute teddy bears🩵🩷 Bella and Blaze wiggle their tails non stop, they love humans. Bella will fall over for Belly rubs and blaze will take a couple minutes to warm up but never has negatively reacted to humans. Ideally we’d love for them to stay together. I know that’s a lot to ask but we’d like to put it out there first. They really enjoy each others company. They don’t react to other dogs, we haven’t had the opportunity to test them with other dogs. Unknown with cats. Unknown with children. They rarely ever bark, appear crate trained and appear potty trained. They deserve the best home as they’ve been previously failed, and we refuse to let that happen again. Fully vetted and fixed. We check vet references. If application isn’t completed we do not count it. Our critters are not first come first serve, we are by appointment, and we do not negotiate our adoption fees. https://www.contentedcrittersmn.org/adopt ** Facebook has not been allowing rescues or shelters to share, screenshot and post on page instead if willing to share!**
