Blair

Went for a follow-up at the vet yesterday, so that she could get updated on her vaccines and more. It took all hands on deck and some sedation for to get the much needed mani/pedi. Walking is much easier for her now.

Vandi, the individual who found her in the woods, also met us at the vet. Vandi had a wonderful care package for Blair. Blair enjoyed some of the much-deserved canned food for dinner.

Welcome Blair!

Some of you may have seen the post about a dog that was abandoned in the woods. The dog was left out there in the cold and snow, and by the time she was found, she already had frost bite on her paws. In addition to the frost bite, she has some hairloss (accompanied by skin infections) and she is a bit underweight.

Thankfully, Paula stepped up to foster this 5 year old dog, and we were able to pull her. Blair went to our vet yesterday, and she is being treated for her skin conditions and the frost bite. She will have a follow-up next week.

Any donations to help with her care will be appreciated. Donors giving $30 or more will receive a free Save One Soul t-shirt.

Smiley is available for Adoption

You may remember Smiley, the XL Bully who came to us last fall when she was found as a stray after clearly being used as a breeding dog for several years.

Smiley had a low grade Mast Cell Tumor removed from her hind leg. Thankfully, the pathology report of the follow-up surgery showed that the tumor was removed in its entirety, and she is expected to have a normal life span.

Smiley is your typical happy-go-lucky Bully. Smiley has recently shown a dislike of crates, and we have gotten her a special crate, which will come with her as part of the adoption process.

Smiley is in a foster home with many other dogs and does well with them. She loves attention, and she wears herself out by chewing on a Kong Wubba.

Smiley is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her shots, and her adoption fee is only $180.00

XL Bullies are highly sought after breeds, and we will be very selective when it comes to her placement. She is looking for a loving home with owners who understand the breed. Due to her size, she is not a good match for a home with small kids.

If you are interested in adopting her. please complete an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication

Remember Basil, the little Yorkie that needed intense surgery after being found badly injured on the side of I-64?

Basil, who is doing great now, decided to give back by donating an entire box of clothes, leashes, toys, and food. How sweet is that?!

Zoey

Has been adopted!

Zoey joined us over one year ago when she was just a baby. She has been waiting very patiently for the right home, and she only had one request for Santa: a home of her very own.

Zoey found the perfect home. Now, she has 2 canine cousins, who come to visit her new home. Zoey's meet and greet started out a bit rocky, but she quickly made friends with everyone and found a space on the couch. lol

Thanks to Barb for fostering Zoey, and to Preston Animal Hospital for providing expert vet care for her.

Thank you for choosing adoption.

As the year winds down, we want to take this opportunity to reflect on a busy year.

We started the year out with pups carried over from 2023: Franklin, Hazel, Delilah, and Zoey joined us late in 2023. Hazel and Delilah have been adopted, Zoey is still looking for a home and sadly, Franklin passed away.

Early in 2024, we took in Dubby, who was left tied to the gate of an area shelter and left to fend for himself over night. Dubby also has an old fracture that was never taken care of. He is still looking for his forever home.

A few weeks later, we took on Daisy, the cutest little Beagle who has since been adopted.

Late in spring, we received an SOS from an emergency hospital about a Yorkie that had been hit by a car, resulting in severe orthopedic problems that could be fixed with the right care. While this case was financially much more than we can usually take on, we were Basil's only chance, so we agreed to save her life. Her foster, a vet tech herself, ended up adopting this sweet girl.

Next was Mavis, a mixed breed who tested positive for heartworms. Thankfully, we were able to find a foster, and Daisy now has a wonderful foster sister.

Lastly, we were able to take on Smiley (formerly Quennie), who clearly was used as a breeding dog and then discarded when she became useless as such. She has a tumor that needs follow-up surgery, staples that came loose and the area became infected and skin problems all over her body.

We are very proud that we were able to provide these dogs with foster homes and found permanent homes for many of them.

Since the demand for help is so great, yet the number of foster homes isn't, we decided to help other dogs by helping other 501(c)3 dog rescues with medical expenses: we were able to help Meade County with to parvo puppies, and a Weimaraner puppy who was hit by a car with the surgical expenses.

Like many organizations, our donations were down this year. We rarely make appeals for donations. However, tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and we are asking for your support. Maybe you can give a donation in your own name or make a donation as a Christmas gift to honor a friend or family member.

Calling all Small Dog People

We have received 2 different requests, and we need your help to foster or foster to adopt:

The first dog below (brown) was found as a a stray - 2 years old, 19 lbs. He was hit by a car and has pelvic fractures. Treatment for this is crate rest. He is currently in a shelter and needs to get out of the shelter to allow healing.

The second dog (white) is a 5lb female stray that is estimated to be about 2 to 3 years old. when she was found, she was limping and covered in fleas. She was limping when found, but x-rays did not show any reasons.

If you are interested in fostering or foster to adopt either of these dogs, please send us a pm.

We received sad news today: Rosie (formerly Sabrina) passed away earlier today. Rosie came to us in 2018, after she ended up in an area shelter with a badly injured eye and being heartworm positive. She was a great foster dog: she was always happy and she loved everyone she met. Madeline, who adopted Rosie, kept up with us throughout the years, and provided Rosie with the best life possible. We will always be grateful for this. Below is a video of Rosie enjoying life (courtesey of Madeline).

Look at Basil now! Basil, the Yorkie that was found near I-64 with severe orthopedic injuries is doing great. This recovery was only possible thanks to your donations and support.

Our Story

Save-One-Soul (SOS) is a Louisville, KY based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works towards improving the quality of life and welfare of pets in the Louisville and surrounding areas by providing veterinary care to un-owned or shelter animals that are in the most urgent need. After accepting animals into our program, we provide them with the urgent veterinary care needed to treat their condition before moving them into foster care. While in foster care, the animals get acclimated to a normal home life, and receive follow-up treatments, including routine veterinary care, thus allowing us to facilitate adoption into a loving and permanent home.

Save One Soul is an all volunteer, foster based rescue organization, dedicated to improving the health and living conditions of dogs in the Kentuckiana area.

Fosters and volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Fostering dogs is one of the most rewarding activities you can do: taking a dog that has gone through a tough time, and seeing him or her improve in terms of health and/or trust and self-confidence is truly priceless. As the foster provider, you are asked to take the foster dog to vet appointments, adoption events and other events. Save One Soul covers the veterinary expenses, food, and supplies.

Fostering is a great way of "test driving" a dog. Most likely, you will love each and every foster dog you take in, as if it was your own dog. Sometimes, the dog is a great dog, but there may be an owner out there that is better suited for the dog than you are. Other times, the dog is the perfect match for the foster family. While we cannot guarantee, we try our best to accommodate the wishes of the fosters with respect to adoption.
