DONATION update

Please do NOT drop off donations at the Police Department or at the Animal Shelter prior to speaking with me about it first. Donations are required to be given in person (unless otherwise approved by me). There are a couple reasons for this. First, people have been dropping off opened bag of food and treats. We cannot take opened food and we have to throw it away. I do not want to have to throw your trash away for you. Second, we do not have unlimited amount of room at the shelter. Storage is very limited. So we may not have a need or the room for the items you want to donate. Third, we are changing how we do things at the shelter. We are trying to make it more safe for the dogs. So certain items we may not be willing to take anymore. I would much rather you donate your items that we cannot take, to other shelters, rather than us throwing them away.

If you would like to donate .. please message me on here or email me at [email protected] to set up a time to drop donations off

If you would like to donate, check out our Amazon wishlist of the items we are in need of

Meet some of the shelter dogs that are looking for homes!

Rex: 1 year old pittie mix, male, super crazy, needs some basic training but super sweet. Needs an active family! Seems to be good with calm dogs.. gets nervous with crazy dogs. Unsure about cats and other small animals. No small children that he could knock over. Foster until he is neutered, and then he can officially be adopted.

Dakota: 14 year old pittie, female, super sweet and chill but gets bursts of energy. Seems fine with calm dogs. Unknown about cats. Unknown about children. Needs to be adopted.

Stone: 4ish year old neutered male, pittie mix, over all calm and relaxed but gets bursts of energy. Has mast cell tumors that need to be removed (working on setting up an apt).. foster until that is done and then officially adopt. Seems fine with the dogs in shelter. Unknown about cats and small animals. Has lived with kids.

Please reach out if you are interested in meeting any of these babies

On Monday Ziggy and I stopped at Long Subaru and Place Motor Inc. to pick up checks that each company donated $1,000 towards the medical care for the animals that come through Animal Control. Donations like this greatly help me to my job and make it so I can get the care for the animals that they need. Ziggy’s story has touched so many people, but there are far more animals than Ziggy that need medical care that come through the shelter.
Ziggy and I met a lot of great people on Monday and we cannot thank them enough!

11/05/2024

My boy Stone is back. Although he was super excited to see me, jumped right in the truck and gave me all the kisses, he unfortunately is still in need of a home. Please reach out if you would like to meet him!

Happy Monday!

We have been doing a “spring cleaning” at the shelter this past week. As we do that, we have gotten rid of a lot of safety hazards for the animals. That being said .. we are looking for raised beds for the dog kennels. This will help give a dog a bed that can’t have blankets as some dogs will chew the blankets. We are also looking for kong style toys to give the dogs something to keep them busy.

PLEASE do not drop off donations at the shelter or police station without speaking to me prior. I may not need blankets sheets towels etc and I would rather you donate them elsewhere than me throwing them away if I do not need them. I have a small shelter and don’t have a lot of space for storage.

I have updated our Amazon wish list.

I am still looking for a foster to adopt home for Rex.. please see previous posts about him for more information.
I am also still looking for a home for Reese.. who does have medical issues.. please see the previous post for her as well.

Thank you all for your continuous support 🐶

I am in need of another miracle worker!!
Meet Reese. Reese came into my care December of last year when her family was moving (that day) and could not take her with them. She had gone into heat once she was in my care and I had to wait a couple months to get her spayed. Because of that, I was looking to place her in a foster to adopt home to get her out of shelter until she could be spayed. Right when she was about to go into foster she got an ear infection and that was the start of her long road of skin issues.
The first photo is when she was in shelter. Second photo from right after she went to foster. And as you could see her skin got significantly worse.
While in foster she had numerous vet visits, every two weeks etc. for rechecks, medication refills, etc. As you could imagine, that is very costly. Due to the cost of vet visits (thousands of dollars spent on her), the town decided the options for her was either the foster could adopt her or we would have to euthanize her. Unfortunately the foster could not afford her medical bills and the decision was to euthanize. I brought her into Webster Lake Vet to euthanize her. This broke my heart. Because of the big caring heart of her vet at Webster Lake, it was decided that Webster Lake would try to help her without charging us, to the best of their ability. Unfortunately family things came up and Reese’s foster can no longer care for her. Webster Lake is also not able to do too much more for her without starting to charge us again. They have done what they could and we are forever grateful.
Reese as come such a long way, and I would hate to give up on her now. Last photo is how her skin looks today.
I am posting today to see if anyone would be willing to ADOPT Reese, adoption fee waived, and get her the care she needs. She would need regular follow ups at the vet, if started on medication.. would need to monitor bloodwork, etc. She needs someone who will be dedicated to getting her where she needs to be and for her to live her best life.
She is currently still at her foster as I am trying to avoid putting her back in shelter.
Please reach out if you would like to help this sweet girl ❤️
I can be reached via Facebook messages or email [email protected]

One of my previous shelter babies escaped his home recently. He was last seen on lake parkway near Bartlett high school. If you see this sweet boy around, please contact me 🤞🏻

10/28/2024

Update: I have someone coming to get her this week

I am looking for an extra special person out there!
This is Cashmere. She was abandoned and left behind in her home when her humans moved out. I don’t have a lot of history on her in regards to age etc
In shelter she has been absolutely terrified and very upset. The shelter is noisy due to the amount of animals in it. She hides behind a towel when we go in her cage and if she feels threatened or cornered, she swats at us. She has poor quality of life in shelter.
I am looking for someone who will be willing to take her in under their roof, knowing it will take a long time to get her to warm up to you and be comfortable. She would do best in one room with plenty of places to hide until she feels comfortable in the new environment. I know most people want cats they can handle, but I’m hoping an angel will come forward and be willing to help her.
Please reach out if this sounds like something you want to take on. Adoption fee will be waived.

Meet my boy Rex!
Rex is a 1 year old mixed breed. He is super bouncy and energetic and a super happy boy!
I am looking for a foster to adopt home for Rex until he can be neutered and officially adopted. He has been bounced around a lot so I am looking for a foster who will want to keep him after he’s fixed.
Rex needs someone who has energy like him and can run and play in the yard with him, or take him on long walks. He does not have a lot of manners and needs someone to be patient with him and work on training him.
He seems to be fine with other dogs. Unknown about cats. I would say no small children as he likes to jump.
Please message me on here, or email me at [email protected] if you would like to set up a meet and greet

10/23/2024

Update: owner’s friend and mother have come forward. I am still waiting to hear from the actual owner. Due to the conditions of the dogs and previous issues regarding them, I will not release to anyone other than the owner

If you would like to claim ownership your dogs, please contact dispatch.

10/23/2024

Due to the amount of calls I get(and me being one person), I wanted to make an updated post with the level of importance of my calls..

Immediately response / priority:
-Animal cruelty/animal neglect
-Abandoned animals
-Found dogs that are dropped off at the police station
-Wild animals showing signs of rabies
-Injured domestic animals needing immediate medical care (hit by car, etc)

Calls that may get pushed off:
-Dog barking complaints - please try to talk to your neighbors and handle it on your own before contacting me as it may take me a couple weeks to respond
-Other wild animal calls - please call mass wildlife or tufts wildlife for advice
-Loose dogs that have gone in unknown directions
-Stray cats

Please note .. there is a huge stray cat problem in Webster. I am very much aware of this. I would love to cut this problem down. However .. due to the amount of other calls, abandoned cats left in homes, and my limited space in shelter, I cannot take healthy stray cats. Please contact animal shelters in the area to try to place them.

10/22/2024

We are in need of plastic totes for storage if anyone has any they aren’t using

Ziggy update

Ziggy was able to get her MRI and spinal tap done today. There are two things on the MRI the doctors were looking at. Her whole care team are planning to get together this week to talk about the results and what’s going on. Once I have the full report from them, I will make an update with what they have found.

Ziggy update

Ziggy update: Was able to get HALF of the diagnostics done Heart is normal though which is good

Ziggy’s story!

Since Ziggy’s story has blown up and a lot of people are wanting more information on her, I’ve decided to post a video starting with the night I got the call of a dog being abused and what has led to her needing the diagnostics. I’ll continue to make videos and updates as we go through getting her diagnostics done and what they find etc In the meantime, Ziggy is being fostered in my personal home where she will remain until we figure out what is best for her. Thank you all for supporting Ziggy ❤️

Welcome to the shelter!

Hi everyone! I’ve had a ton of questions and concerns lately in regards to the shelter. So I wanted to address some things and take you guys on a tour through the shelter, let you know what we have going on, introduce you to some of our animals, and open this up to any questions you guys may have. My plan is to continue videos like this along our journey of updating the shelter and keeping everyone in the loop! We will plan an open house once we have done some of these updates! As always, thank you to those who do support what I do on a day to day basis, your kind words, your donations, sharing my posts, etc -Desiree ACO

Barbie

Barbie is still looking for her forever home. She would like a home with no other animals as she likes to be the queen and get all of the attention. Here’s a cute video from this morning showing you her personality. 🐶

A couple weeks ago we were able to release the ring billed gull we rescued at the price chopper parking lot. He had a wound on his neck and was treated at Tufts Wildlife.

Back in September we rescued a snapping turtle off 395. We brought him to Tufts Wildlife clinic in Grafton. Yesterday we got the call that he was healthy enough to be released. We picked him up and was able to release him back into the lake! 🐢

Meet sweet Oliver! Oliver came to us as a stray and was very nervous at first, but since has come so much out of his shell. He is looking for a home with someone who will give him all the pets and snuggles. Message me if interested 💙
