‼️UPDATE: HAPPY ENDING!!! 💞

Buddy, the little dog missing from Hamilton, MS was found today in the woods behind an elderly gentleman's house. He had seen a post about Buddy and made a call to the owner's sister. She went, picked Buddy up without her sister's knowledge, and took Buddy to her.

If you watch the video of the reunion with his mom Mary, you're gonna cry. Mary's sister was crying, too. It's a tear-jerker.

Yesterday evening, Mary took the time to visit the man that made the call and gave him the reward money.

Buddy appears to be okay. He was so thrilled to see his mom! We are so glad to hear this update! Click on the link below to view their reunion. 🥹

MISSING from Starkville, MS, Longmeadow subdivision, last seen on Sycamore Street (11/24/2024)

Dolly, an indoor cat, darted out of the back door after being startled by barking dogs. She is white and muted calico with gold eyes and it looks like she has eyeliner on. She's about a year old, but small for her age. She’s vocal but makes "mmmm" sounds more than meows. Please contact (662) 769-6657 if seen or found.

Happy Monday, everyone! If you are out and about this week, would you please consider buying a blanket or two for us? Or maybe you have one or two gently used ones you could donate - we'd appreciate those too!

You would not believe how many blankets, towels, and small pet beds we wash and dry on a daily basis. They quickly deteriorate, and it doesn't help that they're often chewed on as well. 😂

We noticed yesterday that Academy Sports + Outdoors has them on sale for $2.50 each; they were located on the right-hand side of the store (see pic).

Hope it's a great week - thank you for your help! 🐾🐾

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it can be so tempting to share our meals with our pets. We wanted to share some info with all of you to help you keep your fur babies healthy.

Before sharing a treat, make sure you know which foods are safe for your pets (cats included! 😽). Please see pics below.

Have a great week, everyone! 🐾🦃🐾

FOUND in Starkville, MS on Louisville Street.

This may sound nuts, but this kitten smells like a candle - this has to be someone's baby. Presently at OCHS.

11/24/2024

MISSING from Tally Ho in Starkville, MS which is north of Green Oaks subdivision, closer to Hwy 182 west and Stark Road and connects to Greensboro Street.

‼️NOTE: This is our second PawAlert for Honeybun. Her owners have put out another plea to see if anyone has any info on this cat. Please read below and please share again. 😿

Have you seen Honeybun?
We are still very much searching for our sweet Honeybun. Please share and help bring her home to her family.

If you have security cameras or ring doorbells and happen to have a cat that might be her please let me know and my kids and I will come search the area and call for her.

Or if you have done yard work in the last few days and have a shed, it’s possible she went into it and could be locked in. I’m just trying to think of all possibilities and rule them out.

She is a healthy 4 year old spayed indoor/outdoor cat. She is skittish but that doesn’t mean that she wouldn’t have tried to come in or beg for food at this point.

She has been missing from Tally Ho since Tuesday 11/19/2024.

My phone number is 662-418-1230.

It's a great feeling for our staff (and you guys, too!) when we see animals that we've been caring for go into loving homes.

As we inch closer to Thanksgiving (a week away!), we feel beyond blessed that these animals know what it means to be HOME! Please consider adopting one of our many animals that need a home. What a precious gift you would be giving them. 🧡

See pics below. 🍁🧡🍂

11/20/24 ✨️ UPDATE on Manny & Cal

Do you remember the post we made a couple of weeks ago concerning Manny, the Australian Shepherd that had two broken back legs, and Cal, the cat who suffered injuries from a car engine?

We received donations from many of you which has helped with their expenses, round-the-clock care and surgeries. We appreciate your generosity more than you know, and these animals are thriving because you were willing to help!

Manny is doing great in his foster home. He had a second surgery on one of his back legs, and is recovering well.

Cal is receiving excellent care from Dr. Renee Westbrook and her staff at Self Creek Veterinary Clinic.The skin on his scalp is slowly regenerating, and he is doing great - it's just a slow process.

Both Cal and Manny remain very sociable and happy despite their injuries. They trust us wholeheartedly even though we are constantly poking and prodding them. Both of them will likely need additional surgeries in the near future, but for now they continue to improve and embrace life!

Thank you again for helping us help them. Below are recent pictures of them.❤️❤️‍🩹❤️
