Norman Pupdate🐶

On Tuesday Norman went to visit with our good friends over at Midway Animal Hospital Inc. and boy did they all love on this sweet old man. He was friendly and gentle as can be and showed the staff just how truly wonderful he is.

Dr.Huff gave us pretty optimistic news as he belivies the tumor is able to come off safely. The goal is to send it off to pathology but they think it has a good chance at being benign. While he is under general anesthesia for the tumor removal we all think it's best that he get a dental as his teeth are in rough shape and probably make eating rather ouchy and his neuter to give him the best start.

We are currently awaiting the results of his full blood panel and will schedule his appointment once we get those results back. We are so close to giving Norman a wonder forever home to live out his days but we desperately need your help to raise the funds for this surgery.

I have included the estimate so everyone can see what we need to get this covered.

If you would like to donate you can do so at our paypal. Paypal.me/operationsaves or venmo- operationsaves. Please put Norman in the memo line.

You can also call Dr.Huff at Midway Animal Hospital and make a donation directly to them towards his care at 419-354-3986. Please make sure you let them know its for Norman. 🐶

Remember as a volunteer based rescue every penny earned goes directly back into Saving animals like Norman. No donation is to small we appreciate them all🩷

Can't donate right now but would like to help? Please share his story to keep him relevant in the Facebook algorithm and also to help him find donors and even maybe a potential forever home❤️

We should get his results back tomorrow and would like to schedule everything end of next week so time is of the essence.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated towards his care we couldn't have saved him without you!

Together we are saving the world one Norman at a time🥹❤️

Norman has been with his foster family for 5 days now and he's settling in nicely. His new sister absolutely adores him and it's so apparent by the pictures and video he's living his best life🥹

We are so happy for Norman as he is able to decompress in a nice warm home surrounded by love.

Special thanks to his foster Mama Lindsay for opening her home to Norman on short notice and being his saving grace. Without fosters like her we couldn't save animals like Norman. From the bottom of our hearts thank you!

Norman will be seen on Tuesday by our good friends Midway Animal Hospital Inc. Who will access his large a**l tumor and we will decided what is best for Normans future. Lc4s vet staff believied it was inoperable and we just want a second opinion. Prayers and well wishes are needed as it is a quite ugly and ouchy tumor and we are concerned for him. Regardless of how this plays out he will be spoiled and loved until the very end. Sweet Norman we all love you!

If you would like to donate towards Norman care you can do so by visiting our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or Venmo- Operationsaves.

Hey everyone meet Sakura.

Sakura is hands down one of the smallest Shiba Inus I've ever seen. She is the size of a small shih tzu and absolutely adorable.

Sakura has had a very traumatized life prior to coming to us. We saved her from a amish breeding program and it's evident she was not shown kindness or given very much social interaction with people. I won't lie she's quite defeated and afraid but when you pick her up she melts into you and quickly become your friend. She is not nippy or bitey at all and would rather hide under a chair than show any aggresion. She is a young girl at only 2 years old and we have little information about her aside from knowing she came from a puppy mill. She is so sweet however and wants to be loved.

She did come in with a injury we are getting assessed next week as we aren't sure if she was born with it or the injury stemmed from trauma of some sort. She has a strange little walk and doesn't use her back leg at all but she allows you to move and touch it with no pain. If I had to guess I would think she was born with it.

She loves other dogs and will have to go into a quiet home with another dog. In my experience with the mill dogs living with another dog for most makes life so much better. She's so docile and mellow I don't think she would mind cats but we have never had her with any.

Sakura is kennel trained and is learning what it means to be treated with kindness in a warm environment. I can't get enough of this girl.

If you are interested in adopting this precious girl you can put in an application for her at operationsaves.com

If you would like to donate towards her care you can do so by visiting our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or Venmo- operationsaves.

As a volunteer ran non profit every penny donated goes directly back into Saving animals like Sakura.

Please share this to stay relevant in the Facebook algorithm and also to help her find her forever home.

Soooooo we did a thing this week. Sorry this is a long one.

When we went to give Norman his freedom ride I was met by our dearest friend Julie Cukierski Boney who loyally takes her time every week to walk lc4 dogs. She is the epitome of a super hero always making sure the dogs get enrichment and are walked no matter the rain, snow, sleet, or sunshine. She has first hand knowledge of the dogs and is such a valuable asset to lc4. As you can see we just cant say enough wonderful things about her and her dedication/love to those dogs is inspiring. She thanked us for pulling Norman and then made mention of another senior boy who had been there for some time with no interest. Now we are quickly inch working towards capacity at the sanctuary and as I had to promise we would only leave with Norman that day I shot Jackie through sad eyes. She gave me the look as she is always the voice of reason and I could tell she was saying Norman is enough for now. So in my pure rebellious nature I compromised with a well let's just meet him - it can't hurt to meet him. Julie said let me go get him😉

In walks alongside Julie this big clumsy handsome old man named Barbacoa. I could tell immediately he was quite a character. He came walking up in pure old man fashion awkwardly since it was apparent he has some arthritis and his pace is far slower than the other dogs walking that day. I was taken back by his size as I was expecting a smaller guy but as a giant breed lover my heart swelled a bit.

Barbacoa like Norman has been through some heartbreak. You see Barbacoa initially came into lc4 last September alongside his sisters after being surrendered by their owner whom he absolutely loved. He was very bonded to his sisters so watching them get adopted and leave him has been rough for this geriatric guy. Sadly hes gotten no intrest so Barbacoa was left behind. The staff at lc4 have all fallen in love with him and have tried to mend his broken heart but he's been through a lot and shelter life can. E overwhelming. I knew as soon as I saw him he would be coming back to the sanctuary with us and both Jackie and I agreed we were not leaving without signing papers welcoming him into our program.

Barbacoa is a very smart guy and since being in the program we have observed some wonderful things about him.

He walks on lead very gently most likely due to his arthritis. He is mellow and calm and has a great disposition.

He LOVES other dogs and he not only spent time with Norman wagging,happy, and sitting pretty for treats but also loves his play dates with other dogs and staff.

He appears to be maybe a German Shep/mastiff mix and although he has a slim physique due to his age he's a tall boy.

He takes treat gently and just wants to be with his people. He has great manners and has had some training at some point in his life. He loves to show off his sit pretty and wait for a treat skill.

He keeps a clean kennel and is kennel trained.

He is a senior boy at almost 10 and will require a home that will love him for the rest of his days. He will need daily meds for his arthritis pain and high quality food.

If you are interested in adopting this gentle giant you can apply for him at our website operationsaves.com

If you would like to donate specialty care items to help his stay with us as comfortable as possible you can visit our friends at Pet Supplies Plus - Perrysburg, OH and purchase him any thick oversized dog bed to keep him on a soft surface, as well as Diamond Naturals beef formula dry dog food and wet food, we use any rawhide free dog chews. We have a donation bin and you can write his name on the donation so we know its special to go to him. 🩷

You can also donate monetarily at our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or Venmo- Operationsaves

Since he will be needing xrays to determine what the best course of action will be to keep him pain free from his arthritis you can also call in payments to Midway Animal Hospital Inc. And give donations that way as well.

We are so excited for Barbacoas future and are so lucky to be apart of his story. It's only up from here sweet boy!

Please share his story to stay relevant in the Facebook algorithm and also to help him find his forever home.

And just like that sweet old man Norman left the shelter to start his new life. Katrina and Jackie together sprung him out of the shelter and gave him his freedom ride. The staff at lc4 was so kind to this old man and really went above and beyond for him. We are so thankful for them being a piece in Normans life.

Stay tuned in the coming days for pupdates on Norman- we are so excited with your help to have saved this guy.

Norman because of his re**al tumor/swelling will be getting into our good friends over at Midway Animal Hospital Inc. On Tuesday For a good wellness exam, full blood panel, and any testing Dr.Huff and his staff deem necessary. The tumor is significant but since it's not showing immediate danger we wanted him to decompress for a few days before taking him in.

So far he is a total joy and so calm and full of happiness. It's only up from here.

Special thank you to everyone who has shared his post, donated, or sent well wishes. We are not out of the woods yet but he's happy and has a warm loving place to stay and that don't suck!

If you would like to donate towards Normas care you can do so at our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or our Venmo-operationsaves

As a volunteer based non profit every penny donated goes directly back into Saving animals like Norman. No donation is ever to small and we appreciate them all.

It's crazy to live a life saving animals. It's always feels like when things are looking up and it's peaceful- reality hits you hard and fast and something comes up that hits you to your core.

Tonight as I was winding down my night I receivied a message from our good friends down at lc4. It seems they had an elderly gentleman who had been found wondering days prior. He's sat down there for days during his stray hold patiemtly waiting but no one has claimed come. I personally just cant wrap my head around this as if it was me id be down there daily frantically searching for my baby. Yet no one has come for him. Upon getting his vet check today it was found that he has a substancial re**al tumor that their vet believies is inoperable.

Decisions need to be made based on quality of life but he still has a lot of life to live. He is a staff favorite as he's quiet, a lover, keeps a clean kennel, and just wants to be loved. They told me he's a mellow fellow who loves people. My heart instantly connected to the soulful eyes staring back at my me from my phone screen as I looked at his grey aging face.I couldn't say no.

We are in the middle of preparing our sanctuary for remodel and all our fosters are full yet here I am already making a promise to a dog I've yet to meet. It's only up from here sweet boy- you may have been let down by humans previously but for the rest of your days that won't be the case.

My son looked at his photo and named him Norman. He is so loved already and has no clue.

Norman is believied to be a Great Dane/Lab mix estimated to be around 10 years young.

Norman more than likely will be a hospice situation but we still will be calling our good friends over Midway Animal Hospital Inc. In the morning to get him in for a full blood workup and testing. We want to give Norman the very best shot at a good life even as a senior with limited time.

We need immediate donations to cover Norman's vet fees this week. I will be picking him up Wed and will shoot for a vet appointment after that. In the coming days I will share an estimate for Normans diagnostic testing and blood work. He will also need food and supplies. You can always visit Pet Supplies Plus - Perrysburg, OH in Perrysburg for Norman Supplies. We feed diamond naturals beef formula. Any treats will work for this sweet old man.

If you would like to donate towards Normans care you can do so at our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or Venmo- operationsaves. Please put his name Norman in the memo line.

Cant donate but want to help? You can share Normans story to stay relevant in the Facebook algorithm.

Exciting news we have kept a secret for a little while.

Our President and co-founder Katrina has graciously donated space and her employees to our rescue for the last 3 years.

Special thank you to A Doggie Do and Daycare Too - Toledo for allowing us space to grow and care for our animals. This has allowed us to be able to help animals in need just not temporarily but also on a permanent basis.

Last month our board met and decided as the need is becoming more and more great that we needed to have a space of our own that could facilitate more animals. We are a multi species sanctuary and rescue. We not only house dogs and cats but have a plethora of animals whom have all been discarded, abused, or neglected. We save animals that other rescues are not able to house. From parrots to bunnies, snakes to chickens we have a little bit of everything. Our program houses so many awesome animals and we are so blessed to be able to help.

Our program is passionate about people as well and we invite special needs young adults and teens into our facility and teach them job skills working with animals hands on. This not only gives them a foundation in the animal care field but boosts self esteem, teaches empathy and compassion, and teaches them about animals in a fun knowledgeable way. A larger space will allow us to be able to bring in more volunteers! Our volunteers help our animals but our animals also help our volunteers. It's a beautiful part of our organization.

We are proud to announce that we now have 4000 square feet of space and 2 acres to devote to our sanctuary/adoptable animals. This is huge for us because it means we can help save more lives! We are truly blessed and all of our hearts are so full. Our sanctuary finally has a home to call our own. Located at 1429 Baronial Plaza Dr Toledo, Ohio 43551. We are inside A Doggie Do and Daycare Toos building but in a seperate area. This new area will have a full cattery, 22 suites for dogs, a reptile room, small animal room, bird room, and adoption area complete with a realistic living room area so our cats and dogs can decompress in a home like setting.

With the good news comes a few hurdles. We have some areas that will need some tlc. Painting, flooring installation, and some work on areas specific to our sanctuary. We also desperately need donations to be able to give our animals the best.

We also will need weekly volunteers to help with our sanctuary/adoptable animals. Cleaning and maintaining their areas, playing with, doing enrichment, and feeding/watering.

Over the next month we will be having some amazing volunteer opportunities! If you love animals and want to do hands on work with some amazing animals this is for you!

Right now we are going to hit the ground running to collect donations as well as supplies to make our sanctuary as amazing as we can. Our animals depend on us to maintain a safe, fun, and positive environment.

We are accepting help with painting, carpentry, and general handy person things now. If you have the time to help please contact us directly via our page.

Can't help but would like to donate monetarily? You can do so by our paypal- paypal.me/operationsaves or our Venmo- operationsaves.

As a volunteer based rescue every penny earned goes directly back into Saving/caring for animals in need.

Can't donate and would still like to help? You can do so by sharing this post and keeping us relevant in the Facebook algorithm.

Together we are saving the world one animal at a time🩷

Extra special thank you to Aspiring Hands for helping care for our adoptable and sanctuary animals. We couldn't do what we do without their hard work and dedication. We appreciate Rich and his team more than they can begin to understand. 🥹

Remi is patiently waiting for her forever home!

We brought Remi into our rescue from Lc4 a few months ago. She had been picked up as a stray and had a nasty upper respiratory infection. The kind Lc4 staff got her on meds and she joined us at the sanctuary to decompress and mend. She was a very sick girl but with meds, love, and good food we are happy to announce she is healthy, happy, and loving her best life!

Remi is a petite girl who is super smart and a total lover. She loves people and just wants to be with you. It's apparent she didn't have the best life prior to rescue but she's doing wonderful and doesn't let her past define her.

Remi is almost 2 years old, working on leash skills, knows basic commands, and is kennel trained. She is indifferent to dogs meaning she doesn't engage and would much rather be with her people than hanging out with dogs but she has shown no aggresion towards animals while in our care. I would like to see her go into a home as a only pet but we are open to doing meet and greets with passive pets to approved applications.

She truly is the sweetest dog!

If interested please fill out an application at operationsaves.com.

Can't adopt but want to help? Please share this post to stay relevant in the Facebook algorithm and also to help her future home find her 🙏

Together we are changing the world one pet at a time.

Located in Toledo,Ohio 😊🩷

Snookie is a shy girl who will need some time decompressing in her new home. Snookie was a previous breeding dog and after not being able to breed was dumped. It's very apparent this small gal did not have a easy life prior to us saving her. She is very cautious with new people as it's apparent humans have let her down and it takes time for her to trust you. Once she is your friend however she's the best little lap warmer.

She is a tiny girl at 4 lbs and is your typical chihuahua. She loves wearing clothes and loves being held! She's an absolute sweetheart!

Snookie is 2 years old. She is shy but warms up quickly. Her ideal home would be a quiet home with people who understand Chihuahuas. She is kennel trained and will use potty pads. Please remember a small dog such as chihuahuas get cold easily so potty breaks outside need to be limited and she won't always go in the cold weather.

If interested please fill out an application at operationsaves.com

Let's find Snookie the very best home after a not so great start. She deserves the very best!

On November 8th I was tagged in a Facebook post asking if I would donate a compassion groom to a dumped cat found in a park. I was on the way to my daughters birthday party but I had to respond. I noticed through the picture this cat had some matting and so I decided why not. Helping is what I do after all. I reached out to the amazing good Samaritan en route to her birthday. A kind woman who had saved him after another man walking his dog saw him being thrown out of a car. She explained to me the pictures were misleading and he was covered in thick matting. As a pet stylist of 29 years I hear this often as most people think matted pets are far worse then they really are. I figured it was no big deal boy was I was wrong! I had her bring him to the sanctuary the following day (Sunday) and figured I'd call Monday morning and beg our good friends over at Midway Animal Hospital Inc. to get him in for a well check and rabies vaccine so I could safely groom him. Almost immediately after Judy his savior dropped him off my volunteers called to inform me of 2 things. First he was huge and Secondly he was so matted he could barely move. He was so matted in fact he couldn't even have a bowel movement because that entire area was matted shut! I started to worry maybe I had bit off more than I could chew. Shelbie called Midway Monday morning and thankfully they squeezed him in for his check up and rabies vaccine. I can't thank them enough for always going above and beyond on short notice for our animals. After a full day of grooming as my last client went home I finally got to see this cat and at first glance my heart broke. To say he was in bad shape was an understatement. Covered in thick matting and feces I smelled him long before I even saw him. As I placed him on a beach towel on my grooming table I could feel the tears welling up. I kept reminding myself crying isn't going to help and I was going to fix this! About 2 minutes into his groom I started crying
