Share it generously, like dogs do when they take care of us when we are sick or down.
They give us all their love with abandon in the forms of licks and snuggles.
Sometimes our furry friends do tricks and antics only canines know how to do.
Other times, they even perform their own love song or woo woo.

โก๏ธHankie was placed with a wonderful foster earlier today. After a busy day he has settled in. New photo attached. ๐ป
โก๏ธThank you to everyone to reached out to help care for this sweet little boy.
โก๏ธYou can still help Hankie buy donating to his growing medical costs.
https://www.mercerhumaneky.com/donate
****************************
Meet Hankie! He needs a medical foster home because he needs extra TLC and help. This 10 to 12 week old kitten was dropped at our office yesterday injured, in pain, and not happy. He went to Commonwealth for exam and this poor kitten has a fractured pelvis. He is in need of a temporary foster home to provide more attention, help, observation, and pain meds, so he can restore and heal. A bit of extra attention and love wouldnโt hurt this baby. His pelvis should heal quickly if activity is limited - his bones are growing!!! But he needs extra care for now.
If you can consider giving him extra love and care as he heals and grows - please call our office at 859 734 9500 and speak with our coordinator about meeting him. MHS will provide what you need for his care.
