My name is Clarice. I am in need of a loving caring home. I just had treatment for heartworms in May and need retested in December. I am a diabetic and I get insulin twice a day. I am a senior dog and just need someone to love and care for me. Diabetes is a long term commitment and the cost of my meds is around $200 a month and my bloodwork can cost $16 to $100 based on what bloodwork I need done. My last person failed me because I have diabetes. Please help me find my fur-ever home.

Keep your pets safe in hot weather! ⚠️

07/13/2024

🔥A dangerous heat wave begins today and is expected to last for a few days🔥

🐾 Keep personal animals inside and as cool as possible. Limit time outside to quick bathroom breaks. Heat stroke can occur very quickly.

🐾 Provide water and a cool resting area to stray animals while reaching out for help.

🐾 Report found animals and sightings of strays to https://indylostpetalert.com/ so they can be reunited with their family quickly.

🐾 Check out our website at https://peacefulsoulsanimalrescue.com/ for tips on what to do if you have lost or found a dog.

🐾 Marion County Animal Control officers can be reached 24/7 at https://maps.indy.gov/RequestIndy/ to report concerns with animal treatment and to request a stray animal to be picked up.

🐾 We are providing free dog ID tags to better the chances that a lost dog is returned home quickly. See our pinned post for instructions on how to order tags.

🐾 Please be their voice all the time and especially during this extreme weather!

With it getting warmer outside we wanted to make everyone aware of the dangers of leaving your furry friend in your hot vehicle! It can be harmful, and even life-threatening effects can occur in a short time in a hot car. Dogs can’t release heat by sweating, as humans do, so their internal body temperature rises more quickly.

If you see a dog in a vehicle here are some of the things you can do:
🐾Note the license plate, vehicle color, make and model and ask managers of nearby businesses to page the owner to return to their vehicle immediately. If the animal is not showing signs of distress, but you are concerned, you may wish to stay by the vehicle to monitor the situation until the owner returns.
🐾If the animal is showing clear signs of heatstroke or other distress symptoms, call your local animal control agency or police
🐾While most people mean well when they say they’d be willing to break a glass window to get an animal out of a roasting vehicle, it’s strongly recommended you don’t. Not only are you putting yourself at risk when you break a glass window, but you also risk harming the dog.

Signs of heatstroke in a dog include :
🐾Exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting)
🐾Rapid or erratic pulse
🐾Salivation (drooling), anxious or staring expression
🐾Weakness and muscle tremors or lack of coordination
🐾Convulsions or vomiting, and collapse.

If your pet is showing signs of heatstroke you can :
🐾Move your pet to a cool, shady place
🐾Wet the animal with cool water
🐾Do not apply ice as this will constrict blood flow and discourage cooling
🐾Fan your pet to promote evaporation. This cools the blood, helping to reduce the animal’s core temperature
🐾Allow your pet to drink some cool water (or lick ice cream if no water is available)
🐾Take your pet to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment.
