Do you know the hard-working people and board members behind the care of our wonderful animals and those who just make PCAR possible? Let us introdu

ce ourselves:
Rhonda Strong is our Director (President) and Treasurer. She is the back bone to the organization and main caretaker. She cares for the animals daily, runs intake and adoptions, manages financies and donations, and so much more. Jessie Melton DVM is the Director of Veterinary Care. As a licensed veterinarian she oversees the health of our animals. This includes vaccinating, helping with spaying/neutering, exams, and treatment for medical cases that come in or may occur in shelter. Megan Batt holds the Secretary position on our board. She works as a veterinary technician and helps with vaccines and giving medications. She also helps transport animals to the vet and grooming if needed. Karen Orozco is one of our board members. She helps a lot with our cats. She transports cats to get spayed/neutered to PEP in Bland. She also helps with general care of our animals and helps with taking pictures. PCAR works closely with her non-profit Starlit Strays to help with feral cat cases. Savannah Orozco another one of our board members is responsible for all the fantastic photos of our adoptable animals. She also helps manage our social media accounts. Derek Reynolds is the last of our board members. He has animal care experience, working as a veterinarian technician. Then we have our group of volunteers that have made such a difference in these animal’s life. These include Aaron Batt, David Strong, Lauren, Nancy, Clancy Ray, KJ Stevenson, and Melanie Dent. And we can’t forget local groups that have given so much help and support such as Dr. Chitwood at St. James Veterinary Medical Center and Cub Creek Science Camp. Thank you to all that have supported us through volunteering, donations, and of course through adoptions. We hope to continue helping animals find safe and loving homes!

We are entering round two of kitten season. Yet, we still have over 60 cats/kittens from round one. We need to make room so we can take in more and stop the "free" kittens. "Free" kittens rarely get vetted especially spay/neutered so it just adds to the population problem. If one does vet them, they are paying way more than an adoption fee of an animal that is spay/neutered and had age appropriate vetting. Sadly, many of these "free" babies end up being dog bait or left outside and harmed by wildlife.
Looking to add to your family! Stop by this morning! Or complete an application for an appointment!!

CAT OF THE DAY!!

Squidward has been here since he was a couple weeks old. He is now over a year. He is a gorgeous cat but not a cuddler. He likes things on his terms. He would do best in a home
where he can just exist. Where he can come and get love on his terms.

He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, current flea/tick prevention and microchipped.

If interested, please complete an application found on our website. Phelpscountyanimalrescue.net

Meet Squidward!!

He was born 4-8-23 to a feral momma. He had a rough time learning to trust people and still hisses when startled. He loves other cats and is learning how to trust from them. If you have a nice warm spot and patience to earn his trust, he is the perfect beautiful boy for you. He has came so far and will flourish with lots of love and patience. He must be an inside cat He would not know how to survive outside and would be terrified.

He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, Felv tested negative, current on flea/tick prevention and microchipped.

Yesterday as well as the two puppies, we took in two standard poodles that someone had taken in to try to save from being dumped. She has held them while looking for rescue.

We finally got a space for them and today we was able to get the first groomed/shaved because she was so matted. She was so relieved once all this matter furnwas removed. You could see an instant change in her personality.

The other will get done this week or weekend. Then they will be spayed and ready for forever homes. They are sweet 2 year old girls.

They can be preadopted. If interested, please complete an application found on website. Phelpscountyanimalrescue.net

UPDATE: while we still are looking into who dumped the two littles. All 4 are improving quickly. Pups are playing with toys, eating well and coming to me for lovings. See added pictures!!

Thank you everyone for helping us to help them!!

I try to stay professional even when giving not so good information. I am u sure I can with this one.

Whoever dumped the puppies last night in a box across from the shelter, I have them safe. They are terrified and been exposed to who knows what but are safe.

You have TODAY to come forward and give information on the puppies. We need to know breed, age etc. if we do not hear from you, we will have city pull camera footage and turn over to police department to prosecute.

We are full and broke but they now belong to PCAR and we will do everything we can for them.

Yes, shelters and rescues are full. This means that people are going to have to take responsibilities for their own pets, make an effort to contact rescues (I never spoke with these people. ). Mostly SPAY/NEUTER your pets. Carol House has programs where it is free or almost free.

There is no excuse. Be human. Be kind. Take responsibility.

Any financial donations to help vet these two and the other 3 emergencies coming in today would be greatly appreciated.
