It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved W***y, originally known as Falkor, who crossed the rainbow bridge on December 10, 2025.

W***y had a larger-than-life personality packed into a little body—made even smaller by a leg amputation shortly before coming into our care. He adored car rides, had a talent for “running away” straight to the car, and loved nothing more than his people. His journey wasn’t an easy one, with several failed adoptions along the way, including one that lasted nearly a year. But in the end, W***y found exactly where he belonged. When he returned to his foster family, they knew without a doubt that he was home for good—and they became his forever.

While we may never know what W***y’s life looked like before he found his final family, we do know that he was deeply loved in his last chapter. That was his happily ever after, and we will always be grateful to the family who gave him that gift. Our hearts are with them as they grieve, and we hope they find comfort in the many joyful memories they shared.

W***y was truly one of a kind, and he will be deeply missed.

For those who wish to honor W***y’s memory, donations made in his name will help us continue our mission of giving animals like him the chance to find love, safety, and family. If you’d like to contribute, here are different ways to do so:

Please keep sharing and consider donating!

And remember, we may not be great but we could always be worse 😂

Today is my birthday (Miranda), and next Thursday marks Evelyn’s birthday as well. If we’re being honest, we’re feeling a bit old, perimenopausal, and quite exhausted. However, we’re doing our best to move forward and help the community the best we can.

To make our birthdays special or at least tolerable, we’re asking for your help. We hope you can help us clear our balance at the vet’s office and provide funds for dewormer and vaccines. This will ensure that the newest litter of puppies from our OOPS program can start their lives off happy and healthy!

☎️ 💳You can pay Urbana Veterinary directly by calling them at (937) 653-7326 and letting them know you’d like to help with Anything’s Pawsible’s (APARC) bill.

We’ve just been contacted about a litter of TEN six-week-old puppies—yes, ten! A whole pile of tiny toe biters. Their owner is joining our Operation OOPS program and is even willing to foster if we can’t find enough helping hands, which is amazing news. But ten babies means we’re about to fly through supplies at lightning speed! (Which is why we're showing you the FIFTY (!!!) syringes needed to help deworm these pups!)

Want to send food, toys, or supplies?

Our wishlist is here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/F5EOFADEXCHB

Prefer to help us stock up directly?

Every dollar helps us keep these pups healthy and happy:

Here’s a peek at what these litters cost us:

Vaccines:
• DAPP tray (crucial protection against parvo): $139.99
• BAPi tray (to prevent kennel cough): $136.99

Every bit of support goes directly to these ten tiny troublemakers—and all the pups who’ll follow them. Thank you for always showing up for the ones who need you most. ❤️🐾

P.S. - stay tuned later this week as we explain Operation ZAP, a new program beginning in 2026!

🆘🆘 DONATIONS NEEDED 🆘🆘

We have been getting A LOT of requests for dog food and cat food and unfortunately we've not received any donations, and as much as I (Miranda) would like to help, I cannot afford to keep buying pet food for others.

If you're interested in donating so that a few bags of food can be picked up please use our PayPal link https://tinyurl.com/yvbm9ffa (please note you can also use credit/debit without a PayPal account.)

Rural King has Purina Dog Chow (44lb) for $24.99 and Purina Friskies (22lb) cat kibble for $21.99 which are super fair prices! These size of bags help people with multiple pets make it a month, sometimes more which really helps folks get their feet under them.

💢‼💢 FOSTER NEEDED💢‼💢

This is Blue, a 10 month old male pitty mix. He's sweet and smart, but sadly undersocialized so he's a bit reserved and unsure at first. He's been around kids and cats and done well with them, but would of course need supervision.

If you're interested in fostering him please fill out this form and message us https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/OHAP/Dog

Supplies, medical care, and adoptions will be handled by APARC.

If this boy is just someone you want in your home right away and you do not want to bother with fostering and wish to handle his care on your own please reach out and we will put you in contact with who has him!

Minnie is just too skinny — and she needs our help!

This sweet girl has clearly had a tough past. We don’t know what she’s been through, but we do know we want the rest of her life to be nothing short of a dream. Minnie needs a foster family — possibly even a foster-to-adopt home — who can love her, nourish her, and help her regain her health.

She’s gentle and does well with people, though she’s a bit timid. At the shelter she doesn’t approach other dogs’ kennels, and unfortunately we don’t have a way to test her with cats in her current location.

We would love to welcome Minnie into the APARC family, but we need a committed foster to make that possible. All we ask is that you give her love, follow her feeding schedule, and help transport her to vet appointments at Urbana Veterinary Clinic — appointments we’ll schedule as conveniently for you as we can.

If you’re interested in fostering Minnie, please fill out the form below and message us:

Meet Gizmo — a 20-pound warlock of chaos, a practitioner of the dark arts, and the shelter’s leading expert in p**p ballistics.

Once abandoned in some bushes like a cursed woodland sprite, Gizmo arrived at the Clark County Dog Shelter and IMMEDIATELY revealed his supernatural gift.

He is not merely a chihuahua mix — he is a f***l sniper!

What does a f***l sniper do?

Oh, sweet summer child… let us enlighten you.

Gizmo has perfected the ancient ritual of tactical b***y deployment. He will reverse himself with the slow, ominous precision of a semi-truck backing into a loading dock… beep… beep… beep…

And then?

DIRECT. KENNEL. STRIKE.

Other dogs’ kennels become his personal performance stage. He lines up the bars, he calculates the angle, he executes the masterpiece.

But wait — the legend grows.

Gizmo ALSO maintains his own kennel like a tiny, furious janitor who refuses to coexist with his own waste. So he fires his “art” THROUGH the bars of his kennel like a pint-sized biological trebuchet.

Is he petty? Absolutely.
Is it vengeance for the barking neighbor who won’t shut up? Almost definitely.
Is it a magic trick? A curse? An act of God?

We simply don’t know. What we do know is: if you put his crate against a wall, you are signing a contract with chaos.

But here’s the twist: aside from being a one-dog artillery unit, Gizmo is actually… fantastic. A whole vibe. A personality in a fur suit. He’s 4–5 years old, around 20 pounds, has been re-homed at least once this year, and is now seeking a human who appreciates mischief, mystery, and the occasional precision strike.

If you’re a brave soul who has heard the lore of Gizmo and thinks “yeah, that’s my dog now,” you can find him — probably plotting something, at the Clark County Dog Shelter located at 5201 Urbana Rd, Springfield, OH 45502. Open Mon–Tue: 12–5pm, Wed: Closed, open Thu–Fri: 12–5pm, and Sat: 12–4pm.

💢💢 SEEKING FOSTER 💢💢

Meet Minnie!

Minnie was found as a stray in Clark County and is in pretty poor shape. She is severely underweight (we have photos) and has some hair loss on her back end; but, that has stopped her from being an absolute lover-girl. She does well with people, although is a bit timid, and she doesn't even approach the kennels of the other dogs at the shelter. We have no way to test her for cats at the shelter she's currently at.

We would love to welcome Minnie into the APARC family, if we can find a family that's available to foster her. We just ask that you love her, feed her according to the schedule she'll need, and transport her to vet appointments at Urbana Veterinary Clinic that we will do our best to make fit your schedule.

If you would like to foster Minnie please fill out this form https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/OHAP/Dog and message us!
