Darling Thea is looking for the perfect family to take her home. This cute gal came to us with her brother (more on that handsome fella later) and has been with one of our fosters for the past couple weeks. Thea is a chi/terrier mix, about 12 weeks old, weighs 9 lbs (likely 15-20 lbs full grown) and is full of personality. She loves to play, run and explore. We think a home with a big brother or sister dog would be ideal or maybe a few kids that need the perfect pet? Thea is vaccinated, microchipped, on heartworm prevention and scheduled to be spayed soon. Send us an email if you might be intron added her to your family, [email protected].

It’s been a week since we’ve shared an update on Herman and we wanted to wait until we had better news. After his hernia surgery, he came back to his foster last Thursday and was initially doing well. But by Saturday afternoon we knew something wasn’t right. He stopped eating, vomited, had soft stools and was in severe pain. We rushed him back to the vet where he had a fever, was dehydrated and in a lot of pain. They did bloodwork and hospitalized him on fluids/pain medication but ultrasound showed free fluid in his abdomen. He went back into surgery on Tuesday to try and find the cause of the fluid. He was able to come home tonight on antibiotics, pain meds and a special diet. Herman is such a trooper and always in good spirits. We are still waiting on cultures and biopsy to figure out how to move forward but understand it’s a guarded prognosis. This extra care he has needed has really depleted our funds and we’re hoping some future fundraising will allow us get back to a position to help the next deserving pet.

Herman Update- yesterday he had surgery for a diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in muscle that separates his chest and abdomen) and had a few complications but is recovering. The hole was fairly small but his liver and small intestines had shimmed there way up and we’re hanging out with the heart and lungs. Unfortunately his condition had been present for a long time so the organs had adhesions were they began sticking to each other. He had a major bleed but they were able to control it. He’s spending a few more days with the vet team to be monitored closely but we hope he’ll be back with his foster soon. The biggest shout out to Dr Spina and his team at VCA Valley Oak Veterinary Center for there care of this guy. And if you would like to donate to his surgery we have a go fund me set up. We know Herman can hear all the love he’s getting especially with the cone of shame.

Send all your love and good thoughts for Herman today. He was all smiles at his drop off for surgery. Herman will have a lifesaving procedure to repair a congenital diaphragmatic hernia ( a hole in his diaphragm that allows his abdominal organs to migrate into his chest putting pressure on his heart and lungs). It’s a delicate surgery but we have all the confidence in the veterinary staff at VCA Valley Oak Veterinary Center an a big thank you to them for taking care of our boy.

Handsome Herman was at the overcrowded shelter when employees noticed that he wasn’t gaining weight and seemed unthrifty. He was brought to us where X-rays showed a diaphragmatic hernia. Basically the muscle in his torso that separates his chest and abdomen has a hole. This congenial condition allows organs like his liver and stomach to migrate into his chest putting pressure on his heart and lungs. This stress makes it more difficult to breathe, eat and requires an intensive surgery to correct. Herman is scheduled to have his surgery next week and we’re looking for your support to help us cover the cost this expensive procedure (We anticipate the surgery to be over $2500) Herman still just a puppy and we want to give him all the care he needs to live a long happy life.

Stitch is an adorable fella and unlike his Disney namesake experiment 626, he’d be a great addition to almost any home. Stitch had spent over half his life (15 weeks!) in an overcrowded shelter before he found a foster to give him some much needed love. He’s about 7 months old, weighs 23 lb and his official breed is “your guess is as good as ours”. Outgoing, playful and confident, stitch is fostered around kids, cats and dogs. He’s been on social walks, car rides and adoption events. Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped- ready to go. Available for adoption from the Tehama County Animal Shelter in Red Bluff, CA.

Juniper is ready for adoption🐶

Juniper and her siblings joined our rescue after her mom was seized from and unfit situation. They have been raised in a loving foster home, where they’ve flourished into sweet little puppies. Mom looks like a spaniel mix with curly hair, short legs and a bob tail. Juniper is just 8 weeks old and weighing in at 8 pounds. Mom is 25 pounds, so we believe she’ll be somewhere in that range. Juniper has short legs like her mom, but a short coat. We have no idea what dad is, so your guess is as good as ours. Juniper has had her first DA2PP vaccine(will need the rest of the series); is microchipped; and had her first heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $350, plus a $50 spay deposit.
