Biscotti Update! Biscotti didn't get the diagnosis that we had hoped for. All of the signs and symptoms point to IVDD (Invertebral Disk Disease), which is common in breeds like Frenchies. Although she has regained mobility in her back legs after treatment, she is going to revert back to paralysis and need treatment again and again. She will eventually become paralyzed (hopefully not until years down the road). She is also still technically blind, only seeing some shadows and she will not regain her sight. We felt that Biscotti needed a rescue with more expertise on this medical diagnosis. A huge thanks to Fighters For Frenchies Foundation for helping Biscotti on her journey! She will be leaving on Monday for a foster who is knowledgeable about her condition and will help her on her way. She is such a loving dog, we know that her foster is going to love her! Shelters work with rescues like this to find the best possible solution to a pet's outcome. We encourage you to support shelters and rescues who are drowning in animals and medical needs! Biscotti most likely came from a breeder. If you choose to purchase a dog from a breeder, it is important to ensure the breeder does the responsible genetic and health testing involved in breeding healthy animals. Many cases like this could have been avoided if proper breeding was done. Specialty rescues like this now exist because of irresponsible breeding. We ALWAYS encourage you to check shelters for any breed of dog when you are looking! There are lots of rescues specific to breed types as well. Shelter dogs come in all shapes and sizes! Many dogs are euthanized due to space at other shelters. Shelter and rescue dogs are adopted out fixed and are not contributing to the overpopulation of dogs! We are trying to fix this issue! www.wellingtonhumanesociety.org/support #adoptdontshop #wellingtonkshumanesociety #2ndhandpetsmatter #rescuesaveslives #supportshelters

Momma is new to the cat colony and found a sweet friend in Tank! They love to spend the afternoons together.

Staff and volunteers got together to enjoy the holiday. They put together this gingerbread house specifically for dogs. We think they nailed it! 😃 New boy Crosby was the lucky dog to destroy the house! But we shared the pieces with everyone else! We hope your pets have a Merry Christmas too!
