We are down to our last few cans of puppy wet food and dry food! Can you help?

We have many puppies who are eating a ton! Wet food helps transition puppies to solids, as well as ensure they are getting enough calories as they grow into big doggos. We typically use Pedigree, Purina and Iams, but any brand is greatly appreciated — open bags are also accepted!

Meet Leroy 🐶

Leroy is a calm 7-year-old Jack Russell Terrier looking for his forever home. Unlike typical members of his breed, this gentle soul prefers peaceful afternoons and quiet companionship to high-energy antics. With soulful brown eyes and a soft white coat with black patches, Leroy offers the perfect balance of affection without overwhelming enthusiasm. He walks politely on leash, sits patiently during mealtimes, and has a special talent for finding the sunniest spots for his afternoon naps. If you're seeking a tranquil canine companion who still has plenty of love to give, Leroy might be your perfect match.
Leroy has been neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines and preventatives.
You can apply to adopt Leroy by visiting our website www.pawspets.org/dog-application.

If you know anything about this poor baby who thankfully knew love in its last minutes, please contact the Harrison County Flora Shropshire Animal Shelter or Harrison County sheriff.

Harrison County Flora Shropshire Animal Shelter and Harrison County Sheriff are seeking any information about this severely emaciated and sick female dog that a good Samaritan picked up near Harrison Memorial Hospital/ Old Lair Rd in Cynthiana KY today around 3pm.

This dog was found barely alive in a roadside ditch and was rushed to us in hopes our vet could save her.
It was determined she was in excruciating pain, and the heartbreaking decision to euthanize her in loving arms was made.

We need help finding out where she came from to understand how she wound up in this condition.
It is also suspected that she has an
easily transmitted disease.
Getting any other animals vet care in the home would be imperative.

We named her Whisper.
She is a very small framed shepard-heeler mix. Black and tan with brindle legs markings and a very short half tail.

Rest easy in doggie Heaven sweet Whisper. May your nose stay wet and your tummy full there. You deserve it 💔

Looking for a quiet kitty to add to your family? Our sweet and gentle Princeston is STILL looking for his forever home! He’s watched 2 of his kennel friends find families just this past weekend and is really hoping to find his home soon. Princeston loves other kitties, in fact we believe he’d be best suited to a home with a kitty friend. Due to his own calm nature, we think he’d appreciate a home with calm and low energy dogs, if any at all. He really hopes his potential adopters will have patience and understand he can be a bit shy and scared and could need some time to come out of his shell as he took a while to warm up to the PAWS staff. Once he warms up to you, he’s the sweetest thing!
Things Princeston enjoys: wet food, hiding under his bed, ear scritches, playing with his whoever he is sharing his kennel with, and quiet catnap time. Princeston is 4 years old, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventatives! You can meet Princeston and all of his kitty pals at the Hamburg PetSmart until 8PM! 🐈‍⬛

ADOPTED!

Does your home need a double dose of cuteness? Good news - these 2-year-old bonded calico sisters are STILL available for adoption! Angel and Nevaeh (or affectionately known among the PAWS staff as “the girls”) have been in our care since the middle of January and are still waiting for a home that can take them together. As you can see, there is no separating them. These two girls are believed to be littermates and absolutely love each other - it’s so precious! Angel, domestic long haired girl loves being petted and loved on, she’s a bit more shy than her sister, but still a love bug. Nevaeh, domestic short haired girl loves attention and loves to scream for it! She is a bit bossier and definitely makes her presence known and looks sooo cute doing so! Both girls like other cats and could do well with dogs with a slow introductions.

Things that Angel and Nevaeh enjoy: rubs and attention, turkey and cheese flavored Friskies shreds, Bonkers treats of any flavor, their Hello Kitty toys and flower bed (which were donated to them and will go with them to their future home!), dressing up and posing for the camera, meeting new shelter kitty friends, and most importantly each other!

Both girls are spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. You can meet them and their kitty friends at the Hamburg PetSmart today from 3-8PM! 🧡🤍🖤

This sweet 10-week-old Beagle Pit mix, Molly, is looking for her forever home. She's got a heart of gold, a tail that wags like crazy, and a love for snuggles. But Molly has some neurological issues that require a little extra TLC.
She's a bit wobbly on her feet, but that doesn't stop her from being a playful and loving puppy. She's looking for a home with a family who can provide her with the care she needs and a patient, loving environment.

Molly would thrive in a home with other pups to play with. Having siblings to run around and learn from will help her confidence and development.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a special pup like Molly, please visit our website at www.pawspets.org/dog-application to apply. Molly has been spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines and preventatives.

She can't wait to meet her forever family! 🐾❤️

# 🌍 Happy World Wildlife Day! 🐘🐯🦋

On this special day, let's celebrate the incredible diversity of life that shares our planet! From the majestic elephants roaming the savanna to the tiny butterflies fluttering through gardens, each creature plays a vital role in our ecosystem.

Did you know? World Wildlife Day is celebrated on March 3rd each year to raise awareness about our planet's wild animals and plants.

Today is the perfect time to reflect on how we can protect these precious species and their habitats. Whether it's reducing plastic use, supporting conservation efforts, or simply spreading awareness, even small actions can make a big difference!

# National Pet Vaccination Month: Protecting Your Furry Family

March is National Pet Vaccination Month, and it's the perfect time to ensure your beloved companions are protected against preventable diseases. Vaccinations are one of the most important steps you can take to safeguard your pet's health and wellbeing.

Why Vaccinations Matter:

Vaccinations protect pets from serious and sometimes fatal diseases. Just like human vaccines, pet vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens. Regular vaccinations not only protect your pet but also help prevent the spread of contagious diseases within the animal community.

Core Vaccines for Dogs and Cats:

For Dogs:
**Rabies**: Required by law in most areas
**DHPP**: Protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza
**Bordetella**: Recommended for dogs who socialize with other dogs

For Cats:
**Rabies**: Often required by law
**FVRCP**: Protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia
- **FeLV**: Recommended for outdoor cats or those living with FeLV-positive cats

Creating a Vaccination Schedule

Your veterinarian will help establish a vaccination schedule based on your pet's age, health status, lifestyle, and risk factors. Puppies and kittens typically require a series of vaccinations, while adult pets need regular boosters to maintain immunity.

Beyond Vaccinations

Pet Vaccination Month is also an excellent opportunity to schedule a comprehensive wellness exam. Your vet can provide personalized advice on preventative care, including parasite control, dental health, and nutrition.

Take Action

Call your veterinarian today to verify your pet's vaccination status and schedule any needed updates. Many clinics offer special discounts during Pet Vaccination Month, making it an economical time to prioritize your pet's health.

Remember, preventative care is always more affordable and less stressful than treating a serious illness. Give your furry family members the protection they deserve!

Delilah is the master of the puppy dog eyes! This girl is the SWEETEST momma. She came to us in active labor and needed an emergency cesarean. Although we lost one, her remaining 7 didn’t miss a beat. Her puppies aren’t quite ready yet, but she is (she was done with raising the monsters and asked us to do the rest). She even loves kiddos!

Delilah is about 45 pounds and 2 years old. We are guessing Hound/Pittie, but honestly, we just are certain she’s 110% adorable!

Delilah’s adoption fee is currently $10 plus tax. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccines and preventatives! Apply at www.pawspets.org/dog-application!
