We're excited to announce we're working with the City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control to pull this little lady! Rita is a Westie mix and weighs about twelve pounds

She has a grade 4 heart murmur and grade 4 heart disease. She also needs a dental, so we're hoping you can't deny her cuteness and will chip in $5!

Pitching in will ensure she can eat and live the remainder of her life free of dental pain.

We've been asked to pull a 14 year old westie mix with a heart murmur and heart disease, but we need a foster to do so. If you feel like you can open your heart and home to this sweet natured girl, please reach out to us. If you haven't been previously approved through Silver Linings, you can fill out the application here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxHfjrtPnYNcqv3x5SEAs7b9CYHgP-y1MBWIx80xGx93A4jw/viewform and we can do a virtual home visit!

This brave boy has endured heartbreaking neglect. Cletus needs a leg amputation to live a pain-free life. 💔

Before White River Humane Society can move forward with scheduling his surgery, we must find a foster home where he can safely recover. A shelter environment is not ideal for healing, and Cletus deserves comfort, peace, and love during his recovery.

We’re currently accepting foster applications to find the best fit for him. The ideal foster will:
🏡 Offer a calm, quiet environment
🐕 Be able to provide a space separate from other household pets (all pets must be up to date on vaccinations)
❤️ Be comfortable giving daily care, administering medication, and changing his bandages

✅️White River Humane Society will provide all supplies, medications, and food
✅️You provide the love and care that will help Cletus heal and start his second chance.

Please apply today to foster Cletus. Be the reason his story turns from pain to hope. 💙

This doesn't have anything to do with our rescue, but we want to remind everyone that while reptiles might seem like an easy pet, they do take care and attention just like any other pet!

We are sad to report that Buddy Fox went to the great big field in the sky yesterday. Suz seeks out older dogs to adopt and has the biggest heart and we love that Buddy got to spend his final days in her care.

His owner had this to say:
Buddy Fox was the kind of dog who inspired others to get a dog!

Buddy – a big ol’ shelter rescue came to me as a senior through the courtesy of Silver Linings Rescue. His 92 year old owner passed away and although beloved by his former owner and her family – they could no longer care for him so he was welcomed into our family. Buddy never met a stranger and was a blessing from the very first day. Great big smile, frisky, sweet, loving, warm eyes and welcoming heart...the absolute best dog you could find. Having lived his entire life outdoors he had a few things to learn in his new setting. Doggie doors, accepting treats from the dining table, Halloween costumes, and his favorite – walks, playing and sleeping with his doggie sisters who he absolutely adored. At almost 15, I knew the cooler weather was taking a toll on his tired old joints but his zest for life continued until he just couldn’t go any longer.

The hole he is leaving in our hearts will be here forever … filled only with our loving memories of sweet Buddy Fox!

We are thrilled to announce that Jake & Lucy have finally found their forever home! The family has two daughters for them to dote on and are so happy they found each other. They've been begging their folks for a dog but had a negative experience with a puppy that they ended up returning to the breeder. After that, they realized an adult or senior dog was probably more their speed, but they just hadn't found the right one yet.

Shout out to Jenn of Eye Muse Photography for taking such great photos of them and Spudshacks for letting us hang the flyer where their new family first laid eyes on and fell in love with them.

They have been with us since February and many of you know the trouble we've had finding them a home.

We couldn't be happier for everyone involved ❤️❤️❤️

Sweet Gage is adventuring in Turkey Run state Park this weekend! This sweet girl is always down for whatever as long as it involves humans!

If you're interested in meeting her, please reach out. With the loss of her owner earlier this year, she deserves to find a loving home to call her own. She was in hospice when he took his last breath and she has shown remarkable resilience in a foster home, but it's long past time to find her a loving family to snuggle with all winter long!
