πŸ’šπŸ’™Roxy is ready for her new home!!πŸ’šπŸ’™
We rescued Roxy a few months ago. She had a terrible skin and ear infection and was heartworm positive (see before pictures). She has been spayed, fully vaccinated, and just finished her heartworm treatment! She has about 2 weeks left before she is cleared for full activity, but she is available to meet potential adopters!! Look how sweet she is 😍
We are estimating that she is about 2 years old, she is about 60 pounds, loves treats and is learning some tricks, and loves everyone she meets! Call anytime with questions or stop by the clinic to meet Roxy!πŸ’šπŸ’™

πŸ’šπŸ’™Flo is ready for her forever home!!πŸ’™πŸ’š
She has been spayed and fully vaccinated, and her personality is growing every day! We also performed a stenotic nares surgery to help open up her nose so she can breathe better! Flo loves everyone she meets and gets along well with other dogs. She is definitely a puppy and loves to play! We are working on kennel training, but she would do best in a home with someone who has a lot of time for her. We have also significantly improved her skin (it was severely infected when we got her - see before pictures), but she will likely have a permanent scar in her left eye and cannot see well from that side. She may be a little high maintenance, but she makes up for it with love and playfulness! Please stop by anytime to meet her, or call the clinic with any questions!! πŸ₯°

β€˜Charlie’ was found during the freeze by a city police officer (no doubt saving his life at 5
pounds and 6 weeks old).
He was never claimed so he is now available for
adoption. He is with a foster family and has been thriving! They say he is such a good puppy and gets along well with their other two dogs.
Please share and if you think he would be a good addition to your family please reach out to schedule a time to meet him 🐾

A pet microchip registration company has shut down recently. We use a different microchip company, but now is a good time to verify your animal is registered and your contact information is up to date! If you do not know your pet's microchip number, need help with registration, or even want to get them microchipped, please give us a call! If they have been microchipped somewhere else, please verify that the registration is still active.

A microchip company has abruptly gone out of business, affecting pet owners nationwide.

πŸ’šπŸ’™Courtesy post to help find this girl a home!πŸ’™πŸ’š
One of our clients has been feeding this sweet girl outside for a while, and was finally able to catch her and bring her in for a check up. She appears very healthy, is quickly warming up to people and loves chin scratches, and we estimated her to be 1.5-2 years old. She has been named PuffπŸ₯° Please message us if you are interested in adopting her and we can get you in contact with the foster!πŸ’™πŸ’™
