Meet Betsy! 🩷

Betsy is in urgent need of an experienced foster or adopter! Betsy is a super sweet girl who tested well with cats, kids, and dogs. She has been in the same placement since the end of August and has made limited progress on how timid she is. Prior to us she had been on the run for several weeks prior to being trapped. A secure fence is a MUST! She needs a good place to continue decompressing 🩷 She needs a confident dog in the home to help her learn to be a dog.

Betsy is a Tree Walking Coonhound and weighs about 45-50lbs. She has been vaccinated and dewormed, heartworm negative, she is Lyme disease positive (if you need education on Lyme disease we will happily provide it- but is life long), and she will be fixed (Betsy just went into heat). 😊

How is this handsome boy still not adopted? 🤔

Meet your "beginner's guide to owning a husky." Blair is a lil over year old male alaskan husky. He doesn't have much of a voice unless you are first walking through the door or it's time to eat. But you can certainly get him talkin! He'll try to get his way, creeping up on to the bed/couch in slow motion, waiting to see if you'll push him off (he makes a lovely door when watching tv🙄). Having heterochromatic eyes makes him think he can get away with anything (mostly snuggles), but sometimes he'll have the opposite effect, looking like a skinwalker at night; giving a wild grin👀. While he loves to play, he mostly tries to cuddle any moment he can get.

Fun facts about Blair:
He is crated trained and house trained!🏡
Loves to play fetch (but will eat the ball if too small)🥎🥏
Squeaker locator (will eat stuffed toys, prefers hard chews)
Hot dog eating champ💪🏆 (jk please use a slow feeder🙏)
Likes to wear clothes, especially in the cold 🥶
Relucant with the rain and bodies of water🌧
100% authentic couch potato 🥔
Good with dogs and cats 🐶🐱
Will need slow introductions and supervised interactions❗️

🩷 Save the day, sponsor a spay! 🩷

Can’t foster or adopt but still want to save lives?? Sponsor the spay or neuter of even just one cat or dog and look how many lives you save over the course of the years!

🐾 PLEASE SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS🐾

We have some AMAZING kittens that are about to be ready for adoption. They just need spayed/neutered plus get their rabies shots. We had sent them a couple weeks ago but they were just barely under 3 pounds so the clinic rescheduled them. Finally their appointment day has come tomorrow so we have 5 kittens going. Spays cost $90, neuters cost $75, and the rabies vaccines are $20. We are spending approximately $600 tomorrow! Can anyone help sponsor a spay or neuter pretty please? 🙏🏼

Ready to add a furry friend to your family? 🧡

Ramen is now about four months and is growing up in foster care! While his foster loved him, he is looking for his forever home. He is so sweet, friendly, and very curious. He does enjoy being cuddled but also having freedom to run around. He will absolutely lay on your freshly folded laundry. He rubs himself against other animal friends and will plop down right on them to cuddle.
🐱 Fully vaccinated and fixed
🐱 Amazing with other animals
🐱 Litter boxed trained
🐱 Great with kids

🚨 Warning, gruesome photos 🚨

Sally needs help!

Last week we were contacted about this sweet senior girl, Sally, that needed out from a kill shelter because she needed her eye removed. Unfortunately, Saturday evening one of the dogs in the home attacked Sally. Sally is now at MedVet Lexington fighting for her life. Sally is in high spirits and wagging her tail but let me tell you she is still in critical condition. She is hospitalized, had multiple X-rays and ultrasounds, she has had two blood transfusions and is still facing surgery. As of right now she has not been able to go into surgery as her red blood cell count is too low. We are trying to give Sally a fighting chance because she shows us she is a fighter!

Her current care plan estimate is up to $12,000 ‼️ This is a very high amount but we want her to get the care she needs. A deposit has been paid and she has already been there for 48 hours but honestly we were hoping to have a better update as she was supposed to get surgery. As of now we don’t know when Sally will be released and this bill is likely going to be higher!

Please pray for Sally! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 We are praying Sally keeps fighting and then she will go to a temp foster for her medical recovery. She will then be looking for a long term foster.

Update: She got transferred to Bluegrass Vet Specialists around noon today. Medvet suggested she get hyperbaric chamber treatments and they didn’t have it but bluegrass does. They are going to do a ct tomorrow after giving her a treatment today. Still not out of the woods but was walking and peeing on her own today, which is amazing!

Meet Daisy 🩷

Daisy is a sweet and kind dog. She enjoys being with family and loves to retrieve her toys. She likes to just be around whatever is going on- a great companion dog. She enjoys the challenge of a treat being hid and finding it. She is intelligent. She has been through 2 obedience classes through Green Dog in Fort Wayne and would be great to get trained with their type training with her new owner to establish bond, as it was awesome.

She is agile and she loves to cuddle and play. I believe if an obstacle course was set she could learn it. We have done a simple type before and she was able to do it guided by a treat and with some practice able to do it. After some playtime or vigorous walk she is ready to rest.

She likes to chew so needs to have bones or toys for that.

She should be a perfect fit for a family that has children. She does sometimes jump up to small children but only playfully though that should be supervised so as not to accidentally knock them over. As far as gentleness we trust her around our little one in the family who is 1.5 year old.

Daisy is not normally a random barker unless something new is happening or she has another problem, like she needs to go out potty but then she usually would whine more-so.

She is used to getting groomed every few weeks.

Quick facts:
🩷 Daisy born 1/1/23
🩷 Approximately 26 lbs
🩷 Breed: 1/2 King Charles Spaniel, 1/4 Eskimo, 1/4 Poodle
🩷 Up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped

They were looking for a family dog and their daughter saw Maple’s photos and fell in love. At the meet and greet it was a PERFECT fit!

We are so happy for Maple finding her forever! 🩷

Happy tails Maple! 🎉

Do you remember Rocky?

He is the 13 year old pittie that we took about two months ago with the really bad skin. His skin scrap was negative and so he was put on an antibiotic, medicated shampoo, and a good nutritious food regiment to help. His skin has been doing great up until about two weeks ago when he started being irritated and losing hair again. We also noticed a mass on his neck. So last week he went to the vet and unfortunately we have not great news. The mass on his throat is thyroid cancer. 😭 He had bloodwork done which confirms he also has hypothyroidism. He got started on medications immediately. Unfortunately he is not a candidate for surgery due to his age and the location of the mass. This means that our option is palliative care and helping some of the symptoms including poor skin.

Rocky will be staying in his foster home as a forever foster! ❤️

With that being said, Rocky will need monthly bloodwork checks to monitor his new thyroid medications and ensure that none of his other organs start showing decline. At this time he is also on three different daily medications to see how he does. He would also love to continue being spoiled with lots of wet food and treats! Rocky also says joint supplements and some CBD would be amazing for his old man joints.

Keep Rocky and his foster in your prayers during this difficult time❤️ 🙏🏼
