🤔 I’m 99% certain my dog would fly right on through that mini obstacle, especially if the mailman was on the other side. 🤣🤭🤷🏼‍♀️

But, cute idea, nonetheless. 🥹

Wow, that would be upsetting, to say the least. Right when your aging dog might need more veterinary care than usual, they drop you like a hot potato? 🔥🥔 🤯

The comments are strong on both sides of this story. 💔

Exhausted and short on options after consulting two veterinary clinics, Kristie Pereira made the gut-wrenching decision last year to take her desperately ill puppy to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized.

So she was stunned last week to find the dog up for adoption at the same pet rescue organization where she had gotten it.

“I have a lot of questions, but first and foremost, I want him back with me,” she said.

Happy National Rescue Dog Day! 🤩

Thirteen years ago, we rescued our dog from shelter life. It hasn’t been easy*, but if we had to do it again, we most certainly would. 🥹💓(But please don’t tell Lucy that. It’ll go to her head. ☺️😉)

* easy is over-rated 😌

It’s the third time this year the admittance of one patient ended up including a few more hidden patients…

We received a call today about an opossum hit by a car in Tyngsboro. We took her in and quickly noticed her pouch is VERY FULL of tiny baby opossums (known as joeys).

Mom is suffering from severe head trauma and we are doing all we can to save her. I’m not overly optimistic, but we are going to try. If she does not survive, we will remove the precious joeys from her pouch and continue their care for her.

If Amy had not stopped to help this injured opossum on the side of the road, this entire family would have met its demise. Now they all atleast have a fighting chance. We will be with them every step of the way.

When Una was surrendered to our Boston Adoption Center with 6 other German Shepherds, we noticed that she is smart, friendly, and very energetic for a 7 year old dog. Despite that energy, there was something holding her back - Una is in pain, and x-rays revealed that she has severe arthritis in both of her hips. Our veterinary team believes that the best way to give Una the happy and comfortable life she deserves is to do a hip replacement for her at Angell Animal Medical Center. This is a major surgery, just like it would be for a human, but she is very uncomfortable and this will improve her quality of life in a huge way. Una’s surgery and related care are expected to cost more than $10,000. Please donate so we can give Una, and dogs like her, life-changing care and a hopeful future.

Large adult dogs in the shelter often have hard times finding homes as is, and this will give her a much better chance at finding an adopter since they will not have to take on that cost. After the surgery, Una will need about two weeks in foster, and then we will start looking for a home for her.
