🐾💙 July Shelter Buddies Are Here! 💙🐾

Each month, our AHON team partners with Jessamine County Animal Care & Control to spotlight some incredible shelter pets looking for their forever homes—and we sponsor their adoption fees! 🐶🐱💕

This month’s Shelter Buddies picks are full of heart, personality, and pawsitive vibes:

Tracey from AHON chose:
🐕 Novalee – A sweet, soulful pup who’s been waiting patiently for her person. She’s full of love to give.
🐈 Haze – A mysterious little cuddle bug with the softest purr and the biggest heart.

Chloe from JCACC chose:
🐶 Ziva – This spunky girl is full of energy and affection. She’s ready to be your new best friend.
🐱 Patty – A darling kitty with eyes that’ll melt you.

Every one of these pets deserves a second chance and a family to call their own. Reach out to Jessamine County Animal Care & Control or visit their website to learn more and submit an adoption application. Let’s help these babies find their happily ever after! 🏡💖

🎆🎇 July Pets of the Month: Derby Dew & Dotson! 🎇🎆
Red, white, and WOOF! 🇺🇸 We’re celebrating the stars and stripes this month with two all-American cuties who are stealing hearts and cuddling their way into our spotlight! ❤️🐾💙

🐶 Derby Dew is the king of snuggles and sunshine! He's a sweet young pup who knows the power of a perfect nap and a little fresh air. With his soulful eyes and gentle spirit, Derby Dew reminds us that every day is worth wagging your tail for. ☀️🐕

🐱 Dotson is a black-and-white bundle of purr-fection! This handsome tuxedo kitty is equal parts snuggly and sassy, and he LOVES his humans (especially bedtime snuggles and chest cuddles 💤💗). He’s a firecracker of fun with a heart of gold!

Help us give a big Yankee Doodle round of appaws to our July stars! 🌟 Come by the clinic and check out their display, or drop a 🐾 in the comments to show them some love!

💥Feral & Free—just like our favorite raccoons and this wild bunch of front desk ladies! 🇺🇸🐾

Nothing says team spirit like matching shirts, a whole lotta sass, and an undying love for animals (and energy drinks, let’s be honest). We’re ringing in the 4th of July a little early in true chaotic, good fashion.

We’re just missing Suzanne today—she took the day off to be feral & free in her own way! Don’t worry, we’re saving you a shirt and a couple sassy remarks for tomorrow. ❤️🎆🦝

🐾✨ June was PAW-sitively perfect! ✨🐾

We were absolutely spoiled with cuddles, kisses, wiggles, and purrs all month long! From squishy puppy bellies to the tiniest kitten toe beans, June brought us a whole parade of adorable new faces—and we loved every single one. 💛

If you brought your little fur baby to see us last month, thank you for letting us be part of their journey! These early visits are so important for healthy, happy lives—and also for stealing our hearts. 😍

Drop a photo of your June baby in the comments—we’d love to see how they’re growing already! 📸🐶🐱

📹🐶 BACK BY PAW-PULAR DEMAND 🐶📹

You’ve met Logan the ever-patient pup before… and he’s back for round two of “What Will the Techs Do to Me Today?” 🎬 This time, Libby is showing us all how to properly clean your dog’s ears — because surprise: they’re not self-cleaning! 🙃🦻

Watch as Logan contemplates his life choices while Libby demonstrates the proper technique to keep those floppers fresh and infection-free. Spoiler: Logan survives. Barely. He deserves a treat and probably a therapist. 😂🍖

Ear cleaning might not be your pet’s favorite spa day activity, but it’s super important for their health. So grab your supplies, channel your inner Libby, and remember — treats fix everything.

📍Need help or still too scared? We’ve got you. Call us to schedule a professional ear cleaning (Logan says it’s not that bad).

Join us for a calming and informative ear cleaning session featuring our brave pet volunteer, Logan, and our skilled vet tech, Libby!In this video, you'll se...

Libby’s got you covered—and Logan? Well, he volunteered as tribute. 😂🐶

In this YouTube Short, watch as Libby demonstrates how to check a dog’s temp the professional way (yes, it goes where you think it goes… and no, Logan didn’t sign up for this part).

It’s quick, it’s educational, and honestly—it’s a little awkward for everyone involved.

Logan deserves a raise. And a snack. Several snacks.

Today, we are showing you how to take your pet's temperature! If you don't have l**e available, unscented vaseline works great. Be sure to wipe off the therm...

🐾 Meet Your New Best Friend! It's Shelter Buddies time!🐾

From left to right, meet this month’s Shelter Buddies — handpicked by Dr. Coney from AHON and Renee from JCAC:

🩷 Brini – Our longest-term resident with the gentlest soul. Her sweet, kind nature is impossible not to love — she’s patiently waiting for the perfect match.

🩵 Max – A curious and playful young kitty with a taste for adventure. Whether it’s chasing toys or climbing cat trees, Max is always up for some fun.

💚 Buddy – True to his name, Buddy is everyone’s best friend! This happy, friendly boy would thrive in an active home with plenty of love (and fetch).

💜 Butters – Our lovable queen of comfort. She’s a little extra on the fluff (and charm), and would flourish with a family ready to give her the TLC she deserves.

All four of these wonderful pets have their adoption fees fully sponsored by Animal Hospital of Nicholasville. If one of them feels like “the one,” reach out to Jessamine County Animal Care & Control or visit their website to start the adoption process.

Let’s help these deserving animals find the love and homes they’re dreaming of. 🏡✨

As always, if you need some serotonin, feel free to check out our page for some feel-good posts any time!
