The reality of the overpopulation of unwanted dogs in the US.

“Free to a good home!”
“Has to go today!”
“I’m moving…”
“I’m having a baby…”
“I just can’t give him the time he needs…”
“I work!”
“Just an oops litter!”
“I bred her and the pups ain’t sellin like they use to.”
“You’ll find her a new home though, right?”
“He’s aggressive and tries to kill other animals, bit a child, but he’s a really good dog! What do you mean he’ll be put to sleep?!”
“My dogs pups never end up in shelters.”
“This dog is worth a lot of money that I’m surrendering to you!”
“I’ve got a dog to donate to ya!”
“Shes older and just hates the new puppy we got!”
“I just adopted him a week ago from ____ pound.”
“She was a Facebook rehome and they didn’t tell me that she _____.”
“We rescued her.”
“She has separation anxiety and eats walls and doors.”
“He needs training.”
“We got them both as puppies but now they’re just too much.”

Welcoming our new team member, Brandea!

Brandea resides in Summit Station with her family and is a graduate of Northern Michigan Univeristy with a BS in Zoology and minor in Criminal Justice. Brandea started building her resume volunteering at zoos in the midwest, which led to accepting an internship at an exotic animal ranch right out of college. Here, she gained experience in husbandry, enrichment, diet, education, and not to mention hand raising some pretty cute kangaroos and camels.

A few years ago, life events brought Brandea back to Pennsylvania, where she immediately landed a job at an animal shelter. Here, she applied her knowledge to make her way up to running, and eventually managing the shelter successfully, over the past 6 years. Brandea's compassion for animals, and their caretakers, exudes through her work by going above and beyond to provide the best care possible. She is excited to bring her experiences to River Run and become apart of the vet team that cares for the four-legged family members in her community.

Meet Frank!

This guy was picked up in Pottsville as a stray and was fortunate to have been brought to us at River Run.

We were told he would need to be euthanized….

This is the sweetest cat ever…
Although he is an older guy he still has some s***k now that he’s feeling better.

He certainly would have died if left where he was found.

Frank does have hyperthyroidism which is now being treated and he is doing great! His head tilt is improving after having chronic ear infections, which we also treated.

If anyone has it in their heart to give this guy a loving forever home please reach out to us at River Run.

He’s been tested and is negative for feline Aids, Leukemia, and heart-worms.
Vaccinated for Rabies/FVRCP
Neutered
Microchipped
Dewormed
