Our parent organization, Animal Resources of Tidewater, provides medical assistance for pets and families in need 💛

It's been a minute since we have posted any of our medical assistance cases. We wanted to focus attention and donations to our 25th Anniversary fundraiser. But, alas, that did not have the intended results. So....

Recently we helped Fargo. Fargo escaped from his house and was missing for 1.5 weeks. When he returned home he had a major leg injury. The injury was so bad and infected since it had been untreated that the vet recommended amputation as it could not be saved. Fargo's person had surgery scheduled but unexpectedly had to take him to the emergency vet because he was so sick from the infection. ART was able to contribute $500 towards his amputation surgery.

If you would like to help animals like Fargo, donations are greatly appreciated and they help us continue this life saving work.

(Any extra donations will go to help another animal in need).

Update: welp, it seems we were hoodwinked. These dogs were found ON THE EASTERN SHORE. So if you’ve got friends up that way, we’d appreciate if you’d share these two to help them find their way back to their home and rightful owners.

These two cuties were brought in this morning and they seem to be lost! If you know their parents, let them know they’re with us and to come snag them asap! We will be working with our friends at Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility to work out the best course of action to help them find their way home ASAP!

No collars or microchips. Both dogs seem to know one another.

UPDATE ADOPTED 😊 Molly (2408-1361) can't catch a break. She was purchased from a breeder as a puppy and then given up after 9 months due to landlord issues. She was adopted and returned 9 months later when she was found to be too much for the children in the home. The previous owners stated she plays rough and can be very active! She's a large girl with a lot of energy! She also didn't seem to enjoy being crated so will need a home with some time and patience to work on training. Come meet her at the Virginia Beach Animal Services 341 S Birdneck Rd Virginia Beach. 757-385-4444. Open daily 12-5 pm.

Living large and loving life, Merlot previously lived indoors with dogs and is litterboxed trained, but he also loves outside time and is currently residing outdoors with a cozy shelter, toys, and plenty of room to roam.

𝘾𝘼𝙉 𝙒𝙀 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙆 𝙏𝙊𝙂𝙀𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙏𝙊 𝙂𝙀𝙏 𝙉𝙊𝙇𝙇𝘼 𝘼𝘿𝙊𝙋𝙏𝙀𝘿?

Nolla is an 8 year old Chow Chow and shepherd mix, and she's been at the shelter for 5 months now. That's far too long for any dog, but especially for a senior as perfect as she is!

Nolla is a huge love bug and has the best personality. She's the kind of dog to greet you at the door with a wagging tail and bright eyes - and who doesn't want that after a long day at work? She's a snuggler, loves flopping over for belly rubs, and gives the best doggie kisses. Nolla is just a big fluffy teddy bear, and she'll make every day you spend with her the best it can be.

Nolla doesn't like sharing the spotlight with other dogs and needs to be the only canine at home. However, she's been great with cats in the past! So she's the perfect choice for a cat person looking to branch out and adopt a dog!

We've done our part. We've shown you how beautiful Nolla is, and we've told you why she's perfect. Now we need your help. Please share this post far and wide. Tell your offline friends about her. Stand on your roof with a megaphone and shout her praises. Rent a plane and fly a banner over the Oceanfront. Whatever you can do to get Nolla into her forever home. Nolla and everyone at the VBSPCA will thank you for it.
