Sharing for those that don't know the danger flowers can pose!
With Valentine’s Day approaching, most pet parents know the danger chocolate poses to dogs, but this is a reminder that certain flowers can also be extremely toxic to your pets. Some of the more popular holiday varieties include:
💕 Lilies (all varieties): Kidney failure in cats
💕 Chrysanthemums (Daisy/Mum): Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, incoordination, or dermatitis in cats and dogs
💕 Baby’s Breath: GI upset such as vomiting and diarrhea in both cats and dogs
💕 Daffodils: Small ingestions can cause GI upset. Large ingestions cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias in both cats and dogs. Bulbs are the most poisonous part.
💕 Tulips: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea, hypersalivation in cats and dogs. Highest concentration of toxin in bulb.
💕 Roses: Although the petals are non-toxic, the thorns can be dangerous if your pet steps on or swallows the stem!
If you suspect your pet has consumed toxic flowers or plants immediately contact IndyVet right away. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

We have a special need for a medical foster for a pair of bonded dogs. These two are 8-10 years old and were found running the streets of Martinsville. Their stray hold is up and they are ready to bust out of jail.
The Chi needs hernia surgery and the Poodle needs cherry eye treatment so this is not a typical foster situation. We would need commitment for at least six weeks for healing to happen. Silver Linings will arrange for surgery and maintain regular contact with the foster until adoption arrangements can be made!
Ellie and Mae are not in our care now and to help them, we need a foster secured!!
A representative will get back with you ASAP to determine if you qualify!

We know you love your four legged friends, so here are some tips to make sure you celebrate them safely!
Valentine’s Day can be as much fun for pets as it is for humans—as long as dangerous items are kept out of paws’ reach!

We checked in on little Muffy this morning and got a great report!
"As you can see she is keeping an eye on me. We have worked out a routine that works for us. She now asks to go out when she has to go. No more floor pads. She follows me everywhere. Her groomer loves her. I'm keeping her face trimmed very short it makes it easier to do her eyes. Buddy no longer sleeps in his crate upstairs he sleeps downstairs with her. She is a little bossy sometimes and gives him a hard time. He takes it in stride."

Honey update. Day 3
Day 2 was good. She greeted me at the door excited. Today I let her ride in van without a crate. She did great, no accidents. We went for a leashed walk with Ellie and Winnie, a mile total. She still has a touch of straining, but she is peeing normal volumes and not seeing blood. Great appetite and snuggled up taking a nap currently. Plans for her to meet her foster on Sunday!

HONEY UPDATE
This text from Dr Royer office:
Honey is doing well so far. We removed a total of 8 stones from her bladder and 10 teeth in total that were loose. We would like to see her urinate in the morning before discharging so we will call you in the morning and let you know for sure!
Her kidney labs came back great!!
If anyone still wishes to support this sweet senior, our fundraiser still open.

UPDATE. HONEY DROPPED OFF FOR HER SURGERY THIS MORNING AND COULD USE GOOD THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. THEY WILL CALL AFTER 3PM TO LET ME KNOW HOW SHE IS DOING AND SHE HAS TO STAY OVERNIGHT.
HONEY SAYS THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE DONATED SO FAR!! Kat
Honey needs our help! She was relinquished to us after her owner became terminal. She had been placed outside on a chain in subzero weather until a neighbor intervened and saved her from certain death. She was only able to keep her in a garage due to having a dog of her own. Honey was showing signs of sickness for quite some time, there was blood in her urine and she was trying to urinate frequently. Usually that's a sign of a UTI, but Honey has a bladder full of stones that she's likely suffered with for years. She's lucky her bladder hasn't ruptured. Dr. Royer is going to do urgent surgery on her tomorrow. This surgery will cost $1200-$1500 and we could really use your help to offset the expense. The vet also found several necrotic teeth that will be removed. This is a great price!! Indy vet charges $5000-$7000!
Honey will be available for adoption after she heals from her surgery and just like her name, she is sweet as she can be! Help us help Honey!

Thanks to your donations, Jake & Lucy are in a loving foster home with a very sweet family. Just yesterday they were scared and anxious in a loud kennel environment, today they're snuggling with their foster mom on the sofa! As EVERY senior dog should!!

Another happy foster home! These siblings had been surrendered because the owner was going into hospice and his wife was moving out of state and couldn't take them. Jake and Lucy were doing poorly in the shelter so we were asked if we could pull them. It just so happens we had just approved a new foster home and although we didn't have any dogs available at the time, I told the gentleman we would keep in touch. Low and behold these two just happened to come along!

Dusty is feeling playful today! This little girl is incredible. She just went to her foster home last week and is already so comfortable!
I have an 8 yr old male sh*tzu coming into rescue and my foster cannot assist. Is there anyone who can foster him until he is cleared for adoption? He is up to date on vaccinations but needs neutered. Reported to be good with dogs, is very active with play, will need a belly band to prevent marking but told he can go out as well as use a pee pad. He was used for stud service so it would be nice to get him started on assessing potty training. Wouldn't recommend small kids and they didn't expose him to small kids. Once he is neutered and I have original assessment I plan to adopt him out. Respond here or tag me. Kathy George in messages.

Mission & Information
We envision a world where all senior dogs and cats live in healthy, loving, and supportive environments.
Our Mission is to support senior dogs and cats by finding homes, providing education and resources, and encouraging healthy relationships between people and their pets in and around Monroe County, Indiana.
Silver Linings Rescue, a 501 (c)(3), was formed to support both people and animals. For many senior people, their pet is the strongest constant in their life. It is the reason they get up each morning. Their pet is their confidant and provides a huge source of joy and purpose. But seniors can often be at risk of losing their beloved pet for a variety of reasons. From housing issues to pet care costs, mobility challenges to needed medical care, balancing the senior person's needs with the pure joy and companionship a pet brings is an important issue facing senior people in our community. And as animal shelters continue to be full, we can contribute to the solution of lightening the shelter's burden by actively looking for those senior people in need of support to keep their pets our of shelter and in loving homes. Silver Linings Rescue helps problem solve, finds resources and, when needed, provides hands on support so that both the pet and the person stay together.
We are also actively developing a Senior to Senior matchmaking program to match senior people with senior shelter/rescue pets and provide ongoing support for both.
Silver Linings Rescue is managed by a board of directors and is supported by a growing group of motivated and engaged volunteers. Won’t you join us?
We are looking for community partners in the following ways:
Volunteers, committee members, connections are always welcome! If you’re interested in getting involved, visit https://silverliningsrescue.org/contact-us/ and fill out the appropriate form.
We are not a physical rescue and are unable to house pets in need. If you are seeking immediate assistance in placing a dog or cat, we recommend reaching out to your local shelter or breed specific rescue.
If you are in or around Monroe County, please visit the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control at 3410 S Walnut Street or by calling 812-349-3492.
