This is Peonie. She was one of the 9 dumped puppies that were all adopted recently. She was returned to us by NO fault of her own.
She is 6 months old. She is spayed, and up to date on shots. Lab mix. She has not been heartworm tested, as she's not old enough.
She is ready for adoption! Her stitches from being spayed were removed this morning, and she got a much needed bath. She came back to us the night before her spay appt. and then she went right in, so we had to wait to give her a bath. She's all fresh and clean and waiting for her forever home!

So...I have just been informed that we have an anonymous donor who is going to match dollar for dollar whatever we raise!
That means...I'm staying at the shelter!!!
That also means we're on our way to person #2 staying with me!
Send us those donations! We have until the last day of the month.

🌜⭐️ A NIGHT AT THE SHELTER⭐️🌛
Alright, so we're going to try a new fundraiser!
Starting now and ending on 11/30 if we can raise $1,000 in that time, I will spend the night at the shelter with the animals.
I will not be sleeping outside, and that's only because we have some type of wild animal wreaking havoc outside, and I'm not trying to catch rabies! We are in the process of humanely trapping our unwanted visitor, but I can't stay outside! 😬
If we raise $2,000...I'll drag another member of the shelter staff to stay with me!
There's 7 of us, so there's a lot of money to raise before we're all there for the night! We must hit the full $1,000 benchmarks to add another person!
Yes, I will video my stay, and periodically throughout the night I will go live!
Donations can be made through this post, Venmo, PayPal and in person.
🌚🪐MAKE SURE YOU PUT A NOTE ON YOUR DONATION SO IT COUNTS FOR A NIGHT AT THE SHELTER!🌚🪐
Thanks everyone!

Marnie update!
She was looking a little rough when she came to us a few weeks ago.
She has gained about 8 pounds, and her skin is looking so much better from all her scars! She does still have a little dry skin, but we're working to find a solution for that too!
She is patiently waiting for a real home of her own. She has no idea what a loving home feels like. She's the sweetest little girl!
She's 8-9 months old, spayed, up to date on shots, and heartworm tested negative. She doesn't mind most dogs, but we do require meet and greets if you already have a dog in the home.
(989) 343-7387.
First 2 pictures are the day she came in, and the second 2 are today!

Bear was here for just over a year. He had come to us from another shelter, which means he had spent more than a year of his life living in a shelter.
He is such a good boy, and we are happy to say that Bear has been adopted!!! He went out on a home visit yesterday, and we received a call early this morning that he didn't need any more of the week home visit to decide that he wanted to keep him!!
We're sad to see you go buddy, but we are SO happy that you've finally found a home of your very own! You deserve the best life!
Thank you for choosing us to adopt from...we really appreciate you giving Bear his forever home!!
ADOPTION ☑️!

Update on the little dog from yesterday.
NO CONTACT BACK FROM POTENTIAL OWNER.
She's doing well. She is eating small amounts of soft food. She isn't drinking much and is sleeping a lot. She's very comfortably resting. She's very standoffish, but we are able to take her out, and pet her.
She seems to be limping on a back leg. She doesn't act like it's painful, but we are keeping an eye on it.
She's definitely older.
We haven't messed with her too much, and will update as we progress.
She is still on a stray hold, and is NOT up for adoption currently.
This will be a slow process, but we have all the time in the world!

We want to send out a super special thank you to this little girl!
Her name is Iva, and she's way down in Texas.
She's been hard at work for 3 years selling girl scout cookies and donating the money to worthy causes.
She chose us, as this is her family's hometown.
She made her donation in memory of her Grandpa, Bob Brewer and Mr. Bob Griffin Sr.
Thank you, thank you!
You're an amazing little girl, and we appreciate the donation so very much! ❤️
The card...🥹

Apparently this dog has been running for upwards of a month, or longer.
It was trapped at Pepsi.
We believe it to be a female. Very scared, not aggressive, was covered in ticks. Looks to be in good overall condition.
Please contact us or West Branch City Police if you have any information.
EDIT...THE DOG WAS TRAPPED BY THE STAFF AT PEPSI, WE CANNOT TAKE THE CREDIT! WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE DOG UNTIL THIS MORNING!
POTENIAL OWNER HAS BEEN CALLED AND A MESSAGE LEFT. NO RETURN CALL AS OF YET!

We are cleaning again and have some smaller bags of dog and cat food if anyone is in need. Please call first to make sure we still have food left before you come in!
