Hard pup update with a happy ending for another senior.

Mojo was diagnosed with cancer on Sunday. He still showed up in full Mojo form, until he couldn’t. He crossed the rainbow bridge today. You all gave him 13 months of the best love. He came home with me and held down the couch, hiked trails, ran, ate his weight in chicken nuggets. He held on until he couldn’t. And he left us today. The hole in my heart is huge. I can’t believe that my handsome pup is gone. But I’ll be back soon to find that next old pup who needs a couch and lots of love. Mojo set me up for a mission. It hurts so bad today. But soon, I’ll be loving the next pup he chooses to send my way. Thanks to all of you who loved my boy!! Cancer showed up and took him down within days.

Yesterday was a hard day for Mojo's mom, but like she said he set her up for a mission. Well... she couldn't let Eugene spend another night in a kennel. She knew that it was his day to come home. Happy Gotcha Day Eugene! Seniors are the best and we can't thank you enough for opening up your heart and home to this very special boy! We can't wait to see his updates too!

Peppermint is on to her next adventure with her family. She will love all the places she will go. Thank you for adopting!

Let's meet Wolfie!

He is 1 1/2 years old and is ready to find his furever home. He is a very sweet and gentle boy. He's always ready to play and cuddle. He enjoys going for walks and walks well on a leash. He loves playing with other dogs. He would do well in a home with other dogs and/or children who can keep up with his energy. If you've been looking for a husky to add to your pack, Wolfie might be your guy! Give us a call or stop by to meet him if you're interested!

Londynn could use your help. 💕
Londynn is the sweetest little girl, (1 yr old and 28 lbs) who came into Animal Control as a stray. From the time she came in, she would not use her back leg, always holding it up. But even with the pain, she was always happy and wagging her tail loving all the attention she could get.
We took her to Dr Burcham at Tri Point Vet Clinic where they took X-rays and found the leg had been broken, and it was an older injury. They did emergency surgery to remove the leg and she is now back at Paws recovering.
We will never know what happened, but we do know she didn’t deserve it, and will see that she gets the best from now on. We are looking for someone that might be willing to foster her for a least 2 months, (in a quiet home) thru the healing process. This girl can steal your heart with just one look. If you are interested, please fill out a foster application on our website at www.pawsofdearborncounty.org,
or call and talk to Brenda or Tammy.
Thank you for your support. ❤️

KITTEN UPDATE!!

Hello! I received a call for an update on Marcel and Davina. They integrated perfectly into the household with our dogs. they love to play with the dogs so much. they are both talkative cuddle bugs with their own little quirks that were still learning day by day. I wasn't a huge fan of their previous names, so we worked with them on some new names. Marcel goes by Viserion now, and Davina goes by Rhaenyra. (game of thrones and house of the dragon names lol) we love them so much and are so happy to have kitties back in the house. 🥰

Do you use KONG toys with your dog?

If not, you should! KONG chew toys stimulate mental exercise for your dog's mind which is vital to overall health and minimize destructive behavior due to boredom. They can be filled with a variety of things and frozen to make it harder for the dog to get the food out.

It's beneficial to give your dog a treat like a food filled KONG in their kennel when you leave the house or they just need some quiet time. Here are some ideas of things to fill them with!

Here are some great KONG like options you can purchase on Amazon for a great price!

Expectation vs Reality

Bubba was ready to hang out with the kennel techs but wasn't in the mood to get his picture taken. Bubba is 5 years old and rather lay around with his friends than participate in a photo shoot. If Bubba is your kind of dog stop by to check him out.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to the City of Greendale for hosting the first ever Doggie Pooloosza. It was so much fun watching the dogs not only playing in the pool but also just running around making new friends. 73 dogs registered for the fun. A great way to end the summer. ❤️
