Some of our adoptions! Congratulations Rusty, Charles, and Field for finding the best homes to fit their needs! Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Meet Charles! He was brought to us after being found as a stray. His stray hold is now over and he's up for adoption! Charles is estimated to be about 12 years old. He does have some medical issues that come along with aging. He has a grade 3 out of 6 heart murmur, he has flea allergies, skin tags, and some oil gland cyst. He recently had blood work done, which came out good for his age, no concerns! He loves to just hang around the shelter meeting all the new people and animals. Charles is good with cats, calmer dogs, and all people. We would love for him to go to a home where he can live out his good old man years!

If interested in Charles please fill out an application or stop by to meet him. We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 12pm to 5pm.

Our shelter dog Jordie turns one today! This is a milestone that we feared Jordie would never reach when we transferred him from LC4 in March. Both of Jordie's front legs were injured - one most likely from jumping from a height and the other from being overused to compensate for the injured leg. Since he couldn't be adopted in this condition from LC4 they asked if we would take him and give him a chance.

When we got him, he was walking on the top of the curled under left foot and barely using the other leg. He couldn't even get up the garage step or into and out of his cage without help and was pretty much shut down emotionally. No playing, nothing - just a look of sadness and hopelessness in his eyes.

We took him to an orthopedic specialist who said Jordie would need one leg amputated and the other one surgically corrected with an uncertain prognosis, an extended and painful recovery - and at a cost of $10,000. The doctor also felt that with his injuries, humane euthanasia was an option. The cost was more than we felt we could spend with such an uncertain prognosis and as we felt he was showing some improvement and he seemed comfortable, we decided to take a wait-and-see approach and just give Jordie as much time and love as we could.

Time and love must have been the right medicine for Jordie as he miraculously seemed to improve, and his personality started to blossom. He was a big goof and LOVED everybody and everything - cats, other dogs, people... and sticks, weeds and grass in the yard. He began to play. He figured out steps. He started to chase the other dogs in the yard. Everyone - cat, dog, or human - was a friend in Jordie's eyes. Potential adopters started to notice Jordie and we decided to get a second opinion so that we could give them a better idea of Jordie's future.

Well, Jordie's miracles kept coming. The second doctor wanted to do a CT scan. After seeing the pictures of Jordie when we first got him, looking at the CT and examining Jordie she said that if she hadn't seen him for herself, she would never have believed it was the same dog. In her words, "I don't see an amputation in Jordie's future, and no surgery is necessary at this time, if ever. Jordie's ready for adoption." And even better, another client at the clinic that day with her dog was so smitten with Jordie's incredible personality and heart that she covered the $800 cost of his CT scan!

Jordie's been with us about five months now and frankly, we weren't sure he'd even see his first birthday let alone be walking and running like any other dog. Now we're hoping for the best birthday present ever - a new home for Jordie. Come on by and meet him - Jordie loves visitors - and wish him a Happy Birthday!

Recently adopted Royce is in some trouble!
Shortly after being adopted he started regurgitating his food after eating. His new mom quickly noticed something was wrong and ran him into her vet. Come to find out he had a heart anomaly-persistent right aortic arch. It wrapped around his esophagus and constricted it. Royce was born with this condition that was only going to show up as he aged. The surgery was done yesterday at OSU. Please consider donating to help his mom afford his life saving surgery!

It is with sad hearts that we're posting to let everyone know that Jett is no longer with us. Tuesday morning Jett went in to have his leg amputated. When they put him under and started to perform the surgery they found a much larger issue. His pelvis was broken on both sides. The X-rays did not show that his pelvis was also broken and it was something that would only show once they got in there. Even with taking his leg off he would have been dragging himself along not allowing his pelvis to heal. Jett would not have healed properly enough to give him a good quality of life. He was loved for a short time with us, he ate all the food he wanted, and got as many cuddles as he could stand. In his short time with us he totally won our hearts. Thank you to everyone who donated and gave him a chance. All the donations for Jett will be used towards all the other medical cases we are currently dealing with. We can't save them all, but we'll never stop trying.

Update on the cat left behind the bushes. We have decided to name him Jett. Jett is under a year old, as his growth plates are not fully closed. He has two severe breaks in his back right leg and the bone in between is shattered. The wounds on his head and chin are suspected to be road rash, indicating he was hit by a car. The doctor feels his injury is between 5-8 days old so this poor guy has been dealing with a lot of pain for the past week but he's in good spirits, eating up a storm and talking to anyone who passes his cage. Because of the shattered bone the leg won't heal with a splint and will have to be amputated. The quote for the procedure is $1,500. He is on pain medication and surgery is scheduled for next week.

Please share this post as he is a neutered male, he may be someone's lost cat. No microchip was found.

06/28/2024

Here we are again, when we arrived this morning there was a carrier behind our bushes with a cat in it. Upon getting him out of the carrier and settled in we immediately noticed something wrong. He was not able to use one of his back legs. He also has some healing wounds on his face and chin. He is currently being looked at and having X-rays done. We will update everyone once we know more.

06/27/2024

Thank you guys so much for all the kitten food! It really makes a difference!

All 3 cats featured are available for adoption!

UPDATE:
Things are looking up for Markie. Although he currently has mouth sores, he's still eating! His spirits seem to be improving. Since there is some fluid accumulating in his head wound, Markie went under anesthesia to clean it out and allow for drainage. Markie is due for a re-check in 5-7 days to remove his drainage tubes.

Stone is doing great after his enucleation. He's eating, drinking, and playing with his siblings. He is due for a re-check here in a couple days to make sure he is healing properly.

The kittens dumped on our door step are also improving! The one with the ruptured eye is due to be seen again in 3-5 days. He is not large enough to have the surgery so we are waiting for him to gain some weight. They are very playful, active, and eating very well!

06/24/2024

On a good note, here are some of our adoptions!

06/24/2024

Upon arriving today there was a carrier on our door step. Four little kittens were inside. One of the babies has a ruptured eye and the others are sick. All four kittens have a sever upper respiratory infection and are currently at West Toledo Animal Hospital receiving veterinary care.
We will update everyone on their status once we know more.

06/22/2024

We have yet another very special baby. We were contacted on Facebook to take in a kitten with a ruptured eye. We have decided to name him Stone. While in the process of trying to locate him we came across several other kittens. We were able to capture four kittens in total. Stone will need to have his eye removed once he's healthier and has gained some weight. He will be going into West Toledo Animal Hospital on Monday to be looked over and get a game plan in place. In the mean time we will keep him happy and comfortable.
Please consider donating!
If you can't donate please share this post

UPDATE: Markie is doing well. He has sustained trauma to his head. It is unsure as to what caused it. Markie is being hospitalized over the weekend to ensure he continues to make progress. He did eat this morning and is no longer dehydrated.
