A week ago today, we lost a very special little girl who quickly wormed her way into the heart of her foster mom.

Rasheeda (aka She-She and her favorite name, Peanut) was surrendered to a local shelter when her owner became homeless and we couldn’t resist her underbite when we first saw her photo.

She was a sweet, spunky senior who had such a zest for life, loved to run around in the yard, had selective hearing when it was time to go inside, was very sassy with the vet and vet techs who so graciously cared for her, was never more than a foot away from her foster mom and the only thing she loved more than her foster mom was food.

Very shortly after coming into our care on March 5th, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer and was given a few short months to live. She also had mammary masses (likely cancer) and then had a suspected brain tumor. Through it all, she never had a bad day and was always her happy, spunky self.

Last Wednesday, there was a change in her and it was obvious that something was wrong. The wonderful staff of the Grant County Veterinary Clinic made time to see her. Sadly, x-rays showed that the bladder cancer had increased in size to the point that it wasn’t possible for her to continue having quality of life, so the tough decision was made to let her go.

While she far outlived her life expectancy with the cancer, it was nowhere near enough time with her and she is missed immensely.

Important information for anyone looking to add a furry family member to the home.

Our very own Kate was recently interviewed by John Materese on how to avoid scams. Stick with shelters and rescues to adopt and you’ll never need to worry about being scammed.

*one note - he refers to Kate as an employee and we wanted to clarify that we have always been, and will always be, a 100% volunteer organization.

Thinking of bringing a new puppy or another pet into the family this holiday season? Before you send any money for that irresistible pup, just make sure you're not walking into a scam.

It’s a big day for Mickey!

His skin has healed and it’s time for his neuter and double enucleation (eye removal) due to glaucoma. This sweet boy would love to be in his forever home for the holidays. If you can spare even a dollar towards his surgery, it would be much appreciated.

As Facebook is glitching, we’ve included a photo of our Venmo information. We can also accept PayPal donations, [email protected], and credit card donations on our website, https://www.pawprintsnky.com/donate.html

Meet Mickey, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love. Despite his blindness and deafness, Mickey navigates life with a goofy grin and a mellow attitude. His gentle nature makes him the perfect companion. He may not see or hear you, but he feels your presence, your touch, your kindness. And he will find you if you have food!

Mickey is a testament to resilience, showing us that joy can be found even in the face of challenges. His happy demeanor and gentle spirit make him an exceptional friend. Mickey does well with other low energy dogs, cats, and even made friends with the bunny in his foster home. He's potty trained and loves going for walks. He's also a big fan of toys and enjoys playing just as much as enjoys snuggling up in a comfy bed.

Due to glaucoma, Mickey will be having surgery to remove both his eyes. Once he's healed up, he'll feel much better without the pain and pressure. To keep him happy and healthy Mickey needs prescription allergy meds (approximately $45 per month).

Coming soon! Toby, 4 months old, may just be the cutest, fluffiest puppy we’ve ever seen.

What we do know about this gorgeous pup so far is that he’s very sweet, loves other dogs and has the best fluffy mop on top of his head. More to come as we get to know him.

Thank you PAWS of Dearborn County for inviting us to your event last weekend! Calypso and Daisy made so many new friends and both slept well that night.

Evie (female, black) and Eli (male, gray/white) are 10 week old siblings. Eli is a little more active whereas Evie is more low-key, but they are both friendly and playful!They love to be petted and are always purring. They get along well with children and other cats and will make a great addition to your family!

They haven’t been exposed to dogs but are young enough to adapt to a home with a cat friendly dog.

Evie and Eli are spayed/neutered, FIV and FeLV tested, micro chipped and vaccinated. The adoption fee for the pair is $200. We will consider separating them into homes that have similar aged kittens.

Our adoption application can be found on our website, www.pawprintsnky.com, under Adopt.

Everett and Eddie found their forever home this week ❤️

An adorable senior coming soon!

Mickey came from a local shelter with some skin issues and he is blind. He’s under the care of our veterinarian to clear up those skin issues, and he’ll potentially need to have an eye removed.

Blind dogs do very well and it’s often difficult to tell that they can’t see.

Welcome this cutie and his wonderful foster mom!

Captain Jack not only found his forever home this weekend, but he also got another Cocker Spaniel and a Cocker Spaniel mix as siblings!

Congrats to Captain Jack, his new family and to his fabulous foster family.

In keeping with the cat month theme, introducing our most current addition!

His foster family is already in love so you may have to pry him out of their hands.

In honor of cat month, some new faces to the rescue!

Evie (f) black, Everett (m) white and brown tabby, Eddie (m) brown tabby and Eli (m) white and grey, will be ready for their forever homes in a few weeks.

Aren’t they precious? ♥️

Izzie and Remy were in their foster home for a very long time, but they have found their forever home!

A huge thank you to their foster mom for taking such great care of them.

Captain Jack is ready for his forever home!

He’s a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel who is great with everything. Get your application in now!

He is not a Great Dane mix (😂). We’ve corrected his listing but it will take a couple of hours to show correctly.

A little update on Rasheeda, our hospice foster who has bladder cancer.

She is the happiest dog we’ve ever met. Never has a bad day and always looks like she’s living her best life.

We’ll continue caring for her until she lets us know she’s ready to go.

07/29/2024

We’ve received a number of Chewy gift cards and all have been sent anonymously, so we can’t thank the person or people who are sending them.

So, whoever you are, thank you!!! We are very grateful for your generosity!

The newest PawPrints face, Captain Jack!

Captain Jack is as sweet as he is handsome. He’s a good boy who knows basic commands, will go in a crate (although he’s not thrilled with it) and he’s made himself at home with his foster family. He even went camping with them and had a great time.

He’ll be available soon!
