Pet of the month-Caesar. Caesar is a male tabby cat about 1-2 years old. He is very affectionate and sweet. He came to us with an injured leg/foot. He has been xrayed and examined, it appears to be some nerve damage from a trauma. It does not appear to cause him any discomfort and he gets around fine.
He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations, and has tested negative for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm. His adoption fee is $250.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to meet this sweet guy.

Meet Sweet Pea. He was a lost orphan kitten who came to us very small and sick. He had an upper respiratory infection and is blind. The blindness is either from a birth defect or the infection. He had surgery on his eyes and is recovering nicely.
He gets around well and loves to get snuggles from people. He purrs very loudly and is very happy he was rescued.
Sweet Pea's surgery cost $500.00 and he would appreciate any contributions towards it.
As soon as he is healed up we will be looking for a special home for this special kitty.
(This is a photo from his arrival in early August. He has grown since then and is very healthy).

Friday Foster Dog Spotlight!

In an effort to get these fabulous canines some more individual attention - I am going to attempt to highlight one of them each week. I’m happy to answer any questions, provide more pictures and videos than you can imagine and will willingly accept ideas for finally finding them a home of their own!

This Friday belongs to Cotton!

Our main man, Cotton Candy, is now 3.5 years old. He has been in rescue since December of 2023. He was found as a stray in Red Wing and came to us via their local humane society.

In the 20 plus years that Matt and I have been sharing our home with rescue dogs- we have had our share of dogs with vision issues, hearing issues or a combination of both. We had our own, Clover, for almost 11 years. I can confidently say that Cotton lives with his impairments better than any dog we have had. I rarely tell people that he has low vision and is deaf when I first introduce him anymore. I let them interact with him and see for themselves BEFORE the preconceived notions come out.

This boy is a marvel! He is the best running companion Matt has ever had. That is saying a lot! This man has been running dogs for 20 plus years now. He is beauty in motion and loves every single minute of it. Our dream home for Cotton would include a runner.

He’s an incredibly funny! He knows exactly what he’s doing when he jumps just outta reach and play bows to me! Even at my crankiest he is able to get a rise and a laugh out of me. He’s a goof ball through and through. I swear he uses his impairments to his advantage most days. He knows exactly what he’s doing 😉 You don’t earn the nickname “fake blind dog” by accident. Our dream home for Cotton is full of humor. He needs people with joy in their souls.

While he may raise your blood pressure by bouncing just out of reach- he knows when I mean business and willingly complies. He is the same with other dogs. He will push and annoy- let’s not forget he is an AUSSIE! He has made some stellar dog friendships but he also has sworn enemies. He most definitely can live with other dogs. They just need to be the right personality and the humans need to understand dog behavior and interactions. Our dream home for Cotton would give him time to settle in but also understand he needs structure.

Cotton has spent 672 in rescue. That is a ridiculously sad number. I feel personally responsible for him being here for so long. There is no reason he shouldn’t have a home.
He is not a hard dog.
He is not a problem dog.
He is not even a medically difficult dog.
He is simply a goofy, dope of an Aussie who happens to sleep through the vacuum and Connor’s yelling, and occasionally will bump into stuff if the lighting is weird.
He is just a regular dog that deserves a home of his own.

Our dream home for Cotton is one that looks at him and doesn’t get sad or feel sorry for him- it’s one that appreciates what an amazing and incredible dog he is❤️

Thanks for letting me share Cotton today!
