Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, this is just the beginning for Murphy. It's his "BEFORE" picture. Every day, he gets a little more handsome and gains a little more weight. We're getting rid of those nasty worms that stole the nutrition from him. He was already a very happy boy but we'd like to think he's even more happy now that he's feeling better. If you've ever wondered if your donation makes a difference, Murphy is here to say ABSOLUTELY!!!
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MURPHY!!
Take a tour of our catroom!
Tessa has lost a little over 4 pounds since her return and we couldn't be more proud of her!! We choose to celebrate every milestone no matter how small. We understand that Tessa is an older gal and some people prefer young, active puppies. We hope her forever home is out there but until we find it, we will continue to spoil her as much as we can!!
Tessa couldn't contain her excitement for her dinner tonight! She's usually quiet in the car but as soon as we got to the drive thru window she began to sing the song of her people!!
Our sweet gal, Tessa, enjoying a little nap in our backroom while our younger dogs run around in the play yard. She may be older but can still keep up with the other dogs, she just needs a little recharge every now and then!!
Bronx' foster mom turned him outside and looked out to see him laid completely down in the snow! I guess it's safe to say he enjoys the snow!!
We got the call we've been waiting for!! Bronx' bloodwork is normal!! He will continue to be on a minimal dose of prednisone for 6-8 weeks and will need one more check up and then his recovery journey should be done!! We also found out that Bronx is now heartworm negative!! He tested positive last year but after receiving monthly treatment for heartworms, he's finally negative! Things are looking good for this big fella!!
Pickles making friends the other day at Chowan! Notice how quickly he SITS once he sees they have treats!! Our boy Pickles used to S-H-Y when he arrived at the shelter but this guy just keeps getting better and better with time! He also had some new people visit him at the shelter last night and he greeted them with curiosity and playfulness, not an ounce of worry in sight!
When Pickles first arrived his opinion on collars, leashes and walks was a big NOPE! He was originally afraid of the collar and leash and wasn't the easiest to suit up for a walkm The past couple weeks our volunteers have really been focusing on Pickles and his training and now collars and leashes are becoming a welcomed sight to him!! He's not 100% in his confidence level but the progress he's made in just a short time is nothing short of spectacular!!
We want to give a big shout out to our volunteers who have participated in Project Pickles 2025!! We have been doing daily training exercises with Pickles to increase his confidence and his improvement has been remarkable! He's a very intelligent boy who is very treat motivated. With continued training and a little bit of cheese, Pickles will be an extraordinary dog!!!
Tessa has lost a total of 2 pounds since her return and she's doing fabulous!! She absolutely loves walks and hanging out in the back yard.
Things were a little icy today but we were still able to make it safely to the shelter to care for the animals!! We actually had to use bags of cat litter to get our van from being stuck in the road!!
