FOUND: And then there is "Wren"....
[E. Ferry Rd Gladys]
A friend was on their way to an appointment when she saw a skinny hound lurking by the side of the road. She and a couple other people stopped to help. Wren, as we call her, was exhausted, grossly thin, and wanting help. She mustered up the courage not to be too timid and let the friend bring her to us....an exception to our over 12 yrs old criteria....Wren is very sweet and seems like she belonged to someone out there. She prefers to be more indoors and lay on a rug though we have a very fluffy bed for her. And she loves Milkbones! We estimate her at 2-4 yrs old.

If you know who she belongs too, please let us know.

Some dogs visit.....OriMae
It was a wonderful experience to foster OriMae until her family was ready for her. We knew the the shelter was full and we had the space, time, and love to give. During her stay, she quickly became a favorite with our volunteers and even Ralphie enjoyed hanging outside with her. The interesting thing was that she knew her human was coming to get her a few days before he did. It was a heart felt moment to see her reconnect and wag that tail!

Please foster dogs from Friends of Campbell County Animal Control

Heavy heart....Milly
We love the elders but sometimes our time with them is so short. Milly strolled up to a house and the people brought her to us. They had us at old, chi, blind, and super friendly. After a vet visit, we learned her rather large upper body was due to a thyroid problem which was resolved by thyroid meds. Milly was a guiding spirit - showing us kindness, patience, how to stop and smell the roses, and how to nap. We estimated her age to be around 15. 8 months later, we noticed other heath issues that impacted her quality of life. It was Milly's time to go to heaven. Thank you for being a part of our lives.

What do you do when a dog shows up physically exhausted and with heat stroke?

Well, a hunting dog struggled up Harmony's driveway this evening, barely able to walk. We acted fast....We scooped him up into the cool van and took him into one of our small rooms at the Pooch Inn. Thank you Barbe (and Missy) for helping us make sure we did all we could to help this gentleman recover.

Here are some things anyone one of us can do (and prepare) for any living creature in heat related dire straits:
1. Put cool towels (no NO ice packs) on body especially under arm pits and groin area.
2, Put some rubbing alcohol on paws or use cool water.
3. Syringe Pedialyte, slowly, into the mouth.
4. AC environment is great but a simple fan helping to circulate air is good.
5. Most importantly, do not hesitate to take the animal to a veterinarian.

The hunting dog recovered fairly well within the hour and is back home. He promised me he wouldn't take any more hikes in the hot weather. Here is his before and after pics....

Please help if you live in or around the Evington area....thank you!

LOST: from the Buffalo Mill/Evington Road/Leesville Road area: Gregory! He is an active naughty neutered, micro chipped three-year-old hound, who escaped his fenced yard when a workman left the gate open yesterday. He is one of the FOAC, foster dogs, and lives with his foster family in that area. He is extremely friendly, loves other dogs, and by now is probably thirsty and hungry and ready for breakfast! If you see Gregory, please text his foster mom at 4342212128, or call any of the three numbers on his FOAC tag! We would appreciate it if you can snag him and hold onto him until we can pick him up. His foster mom is very worried, even though we know he is pretty self-sufficient.

HAPPY Fourth of July!
Please keep the furkids safe by letting them in (if they are usually out), especially this evening and overnight. Turn the TV and or radios on.

How many dogs can you fit on your couch? [this is favorite pic from a few years ago]

Comet and her reindeer pups are now Jersey girls and boys.
It was a beautiful day last Saturday to transport Comet and her pups to Father Johns Animal House in NJ. They were absolutely one of the best canine crew we have had; as if they knew this was their next adventure to adoption. Once we got there, Comet got to ride in the front seat of her new foster mom's car while the pups were secure in a crate for a short trip home.

RECLAIMED: 6/27/24 - He is home! Thank you all for sharing!

FOUND: male dog; Stone Road in Rustburg
Apparently this handsome guy has parked himself on a neighbors porch. He is being fed and taken care of until the owner can be found. Do you know him or who he belongs to? (call Harmony Rescue at 434.420.3656 for more information)

Momma Comet and her 8 pups are doing well....
Early last week the eyes opened and within a few short days the legs were walking around. Then, the teeth started to break through. Comet is happy to have her space but always be able to get to the pups when needed. The pups are more playful and eating soft pup chow.

MEET Comet and her 8 reindeer pups
Just when we think we taking a break, calls come in asking for help with litters. So, how could I say no to this litter.... Comet is a yellow lab/Gr Dane mix (2 yrs old). We are not sure who the Dad was, but the surviving 8 pups (4 F, 4 M) were born on May 28 and appear to be pretty healthy. Now, they are enjoying some coolness while they figure out how to walk and open their eyes. Stay tuned for more updates.

Courtesy post to help find this feline fur baby a home.

Rascal is a 10 year old spayed female with the most beautiful green eyes. She is up-to-date on vaccines and is an indoor only cat.
Rascal came to us when her people had to make the heartbreaking decision to give her up. Both of her people had to go into assisted living where pets are not allowed.
Rascal has only lived with her sibling, Patch, in a quiet home with older adults. She is sweet as can be and enjoys lots of loving. She has never lived with dogs, so we are not sure how she would react to them. She would definitely be more comfortable in a calm and quiet home.
Do you have room in your home and your heart for this special girl?
Her brother Patch is currently staying with us as well. He has had some GI issues that we are treating, so he is not quite ready for adoption. Please contact Terri at Ridgewood Animal Hospital (434) 525-2111 if interested.

UPDATE: Love our neighbors...Thank you...she is back!

Molly escaped from Harmony Rescue within the last hour. She is heading down Browns Mill. Molly made a left in a neighbors driveway two houses down from us. Molly is aloof, friendly to humans, not the greatest with other dogs or cats. UGH....Please call Cindy at 434.420.3656 if you see or can get her in a confined space temporarily.

Vestibular disease - Carly
We have been through this before but this was different. Carly went outside and then it came on a locomotive at high speed and lingered on for days. The eyes rapidly flickered, head tilting to the right, and absolutely no balance. Road trip to the emergency vet, a week of meds. trying to get her to eat, and carrying/guiding her movements, a second vet visit, and more meds (and lots of healing light, prayers) Finally, a sense of normalcy begins heading into our third week. Carly is back to wanting her independence, her spot on the couch, and a little bit of a romp action as she enjoys some sunshine.

Please help if you are in the area and bring this gentle feline home...thank you!

Rehoming "Hank"
From owner: 11-year-old Yorkie Poo, Hank, is having anxiety due to many changes recently. New home, additional family members, a new service dog for Dad, kids). Hank is the husband's dog for the last 11 yrs. The husband only had his military service dog in the house with Hank, so there was very little chaos every. Once my we got married, Hank had to move in with my kids and my other dog. It's been a lot for him, but we recently moved and my husband's service dog recently retired and my husband was given a new service dog for his medical needs. The move and the new dog has really pushed his anxiety over the edge. Hank is not aggressive whatsoever and gets along with other dogs, but he is peeing. We have done what we feel to be everything we can do to help him including keeping him in a diaper and giving him Prozac as prescribed by the vet. We have blocked off areas of the house and kept him on a leash. He loves cuddling and loves being the center of attention!! He's a very sweet boy. Hank is neutered and has had a recent physical. He is groomed and is very handsome.

If you have a quiet home and would love to give Hank a new home, please fill out an application at harmonyrr.com. We will share with the owner and schedule a meet/greet if approved.

CHARLIE update
Charlie will be 16 in August. He is a long-term resident here at the rescue. After trying multiple environments, Charlie said he loved the cattery suite the best. Okay, now he enjoys some interaction with other cats, alone time, and staring out the window from his carpet tree. Oh and if you listen carefully to sporadic meows, it is just Charlie who is pleased with himself for catching a stuffed toy mouse.

MOLLY update:
Molly is a 12.5 yr old lab/hound mix. We have learned she appreciates being outside and when inside, the couch or soft bed will do. Molly has learned that other dogs are not so bad but the little ones look too much like cool things to chase or investigate. Molly has a lot of love to give but does need to be managed with other animals around.

IF you are interested in Molly, please fill out an application at harmonyrr.com.

PENNY says "Meow, hi"
I am one of a few life-long felines at the rescue. I am 13 yrs old and have never found the right home. I am a cat who is very independent and sometimes stubborn, My sassiness can make you laugh and bring joy to life. I have special needs as I am currently on special food and medicines to help me stay on a healthy path.

We Salute Captain Dale.....
Captain Dale was one of many special animals out there that quickly touched our hearts. He was always sweet and followed me ; not in a needy way but as a friend to hang out with. Dale preferred the outdoors and being free until a volunteer would come and then he would hang inside for a little bit. We don't know how old Dale was or what situation he was in that caused nerve damage with his back legs. We just know he was an angel dog and are grateful for the seven months he was our friend. Thank you Captain Dale for being in our lives.

Buddy found a home!
You just never really know when an elder animal will be adopted. Buddy (at least 17 yrs old) was not on this adopters radar as she was interested in two other dogs. Then, she saw and met him at the Pooch Inn, He poured his growly love out and she fell in love! So far, he is wrapping her around his small and mighty personality. Thank you for giving our Buddy a home to call his own.

Sweet Ruby (GP)
One of the amazing parts of a rescue is to save guinea pigs. They live 5-7 years and are full of fun and joy. Today it was Ruby's time to move on. Our sadness turns to joy in that she allowed us to spend time with her, to learn about taking time to laugh, or just hang out and whistle. Oh, and to make sure we ate our veggies and share some with her. Thank you for being a part of lives even for a short time.

Dusty update...
Do you like my haircut? I go to the spa every three moths to get all dolled up. Schnauzer is my favorite look though I am not really one.
Anyway, I am feeling better. I take it slow and my head tilts less and less. I still love to bark at people when they come through the door to let them know I am here.
