EUTHANIZE OR FIND A FOSTER

Northern KY/Cincinnati

Loki’s Christmas wish for another chance 🎄

July of 2020 Loki and 2 of his siblings went to foster for “a month or two” after a woman reached out desperate because she was moving in just a couple of days and couldn’t take them with her. She needed someone to hold them for a month or two and promised that she would absolutely come back for them. At this point the reasons don’t matter. They are still our responsibility and she won’t be coming for them.

The foster who stepped up lives 45 min south so all vetting was done with her local vet. 6yr old Loki has had nasal drainage issues for awhile. At first we thought a URI but he has been on several different medications. Now he is starting to drain from both nostrils, sneezes constantly (*NOT contagious) and has lost weight due to lack of appetite from being stuffed up. 👉🏼We received a text from his foster that her vet said he’s miserable, nothing has worked and recommended euthanasia. She asked to allow her to have him put down or move him.
**PLEASE keep in mind this was only supposed to be 1-2mos.

We had his records forwarded to our vet who wants to do a nasal flush but doesn’t re-open until first of the year. We can’t allow Loki to be euthanized for this.
We are looking for a foster in the NKY/Cincinnati area who is closer to our vet and willing to give this boy a chance.

•6yrs old
•Good with dogs and cats
•Loves attention

Meet Lloyd. This brave boy is currently battling for his life after heartlessly being abandoned by individuals who were supposed to care for him. At present, he is grappling with an extremely low temperature, almost at a life-threatening level, and initial readings suggest the possibility of pneumonia. We have no information about his origin or why anyone would subject him to such cruelty.

According to the information we received, Lloyd was taken to a local groomer for a haircut and dye, and thereafter, he was heartlessly abandoned in the cold to face an uncertain fate. The reasons behind this heartless act remain unknown, and witnessing his sickness and vulnerability is truly heartbreaking for us.

Thanks to a compassionate vet tech who promptly brought him to Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Pet Care, where our team member Danielle was waiting, and our dedicated rescue advocate, Sherri, who sought our assistance, Lloyd now has a fighting chance. We are hopeful that we are not too late.

Your donations are crucial, as Lloyd is one of three new rescues admitted to the hospital today. Please SHARE this fundraiser and contribute if possible, as we need to uncover the identity of the heartless individuals who abandoned this poor, ailing dog. Hold on, Lloyd, keep fighting. You are in the very best hands, and you're already on the way to finding a loving home.

Please consider helping Lloyd by donating to his medical fund or sending a get-well gift from his wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements.

Thank you so much for your gracious compassion. ❤️

At a mere four months old and weighing no more than a few pounds, a little kitten named Todd endured the impact of a 2-ton vehicle. He miraculously survived. Struck by a careless driver in the middle of the road, Todd's delicate bones crunched under the weight. Despite the harrowing collision, he managed to survive, yet the physical trauma was extensive. Todd suffered a severely broken leg and multiple painful bumps and scrapes on his fragile skin.

A compassionate Good Samaritan witnessed the horrifying incident, rescuing Todd from harm's way and rushing him to an emergency vet clinic. Unable to cover the medical costs, the rescuer sought our assistance. We welcomed Todd into our care, and now, in stable condition, he is being transferred to another clinic for evaluation by an orthopedic vet.

Despite the pain from his terrifying ordeal, Todd has remained sweet and affectionate. He receives medication to manage his pain, and we anticipate learning more about the condition of his shattered leg soon. Surgery may be necessary for Todd's leg, and we are committed to providing him with the necessary care for a full recovery.
We will be sure to provide an update as soon as we learn more about Todd’s plan of care

Please consider helping Todd by donating to his medical fund or sending a get-well gift from his wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements.

Thank you so much for your gracious compassion. ❤️

Trigger warning sensitive photo

Jasper had a vet visit yesterday for ongoing mouth pain (from stomatitis)

He was an older cat no one wanted due to his serious health issues including stomatitis

I asked the shelter where I found him to bring me the one who had no adoption inquiries and had been there the longest

I looked into his eyes and sensed he just needed love and a second chance for a good life and brought him home to the ranch

It’s been a bumpy road but we managed to get him balanced

New meds were prescribed and his tests showed his thyroid was out of whack again

These painful flare ups come on suddenly and make it difficult to eat

He is much better today and back to his usual affectionate self

Stomatitis is incurable and can be difficult to manage especially with a thyroid condition

We love this super star and will continue to provide a forever home filled with love

If you would like to contribute to his vet bill it was $222 USD not including the new meds he needs on an ongoing basis of $140 USD per month

Bentleigh, a 3-year-old Bulldog, endured a chest tumor that began as a small nub, growing larger over time. Neglected by her owners, the massive tumor now painfully tugs on her chest and leg, dragging along the floor beneath her. Abandoned at a local shelter, Bentleigh's owners exploited her for breeding, causing pain and mobility issues. The relentless breeding and neglect showcase a horrifying degree of cruelty.

Discovered at an overcrowded shelter, she faced euthanasia due to limited space. Swiftly transitioned to a foster home, a vet examination revealed severe health concerns beyond the tumor. With a critical threat to her life—a severely obstructed airway from irresponsible breeding—emergency surgery was vital. Reducing her soft palate's size aimed to open her airway for a first full breath while addressing the tumor.

Expedited surgery became imperative due to Bentleigh's active lifestyle worsening her struggle for air and bleeding from the tumor. The successful procedure liberated her from the massive growth and breathing challenges. Recuperating in her foster home, she awaits spaying and further testing on the tumor's nature.

Despite past mistreatment, Bentleigh is on the path to a brighter future, eager to play with newfound friends. Your support ensures ongoing care, providing her a second chance at a fulfilling life.

Please consider helping Bentleigh by donating to her medical fund or sending a get-well gift from her wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements.

Thank you so much for your gracious compassion. ❤️

RETURN - NEW PHOTO - HARU was adopted in Aug 2023 and returned. **Owner stated that Haru is not adjusting well in the home and seems very anxious. She stated that she constantly hides is fearful.

**Owner also stated that Haru has litter box accidents. She has been urinating and defecating on the rug and hardwood floor at least 2x per month sine she brought the cat home from ACC. She has one litter in the Livingroom that is uncovered. She has tried using scented, clay and clumping. The owner stated that she scooped her box once a day. Despite these changes Haru continues to urinate and defecate outside of the litter box. She has never been seen by a vet for this issue.

Haru 178385

3Y | Spayed | 8lbs | O/S

Medical:

Stomatitis

Behavior:

EVALUATION:

ACTIVITY LEVEL:

Moderate

VOCAL:

Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE:

Bold



Sweet



Affectionate



Curious



Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:

Inappropriate elimination



Fearful



Uncomfortable with pick up

Potential challenges comments:

Please see behavior flyers for more information.

Due to being uncomfortable with pick up during her assessment and because she was described as preferring contact on her own terms in her most previous home, Haru should go to a home with children over 12 years that are capable of respecting her boundaries.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:

Level 3

RECOMMENDATIONS:

No young children

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:

Haru was crouched on top of her kuranda bed as the assessor approached, body and face tense and tail wrapped around feet. Haru made eye contact when spoken to and she looked around the room as the kennnel door opened, expression neutral. Haru allowed petting along her head and body while leaning in, raising her rear and turning to begin to eat from her food bowl. When the assessor touches her belly to attempt lifting her as she remains on her kurnada bed, Haru hisses and whips her head back to bite the air next to the assessor's hand in warning. The assessor ends the assessment here to reduce stress.

Haru tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Haru did not appear to like being picked up during their behavior evaluation. She hissed and displayed a warning bite when pick up was attempted. Please keep in mind there are many reasons why a cat may be uncomfortable with this type of handling and that this may not necessarily translate into a home environment. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Any future home with children be counseled in respecting the cat’s space and for the family to use care when picking her up, especially while she is still adjusting to her new home.

Pick up was not attempted at this time to reduce stress.

Imagine being 8 years old, you love your family who you have been with since you were little and are happy and content. Then Imagine your family decides you are a burden and take you to a high intake shelter. When the shelter says they are full and your family needs to make an appointment to surrender you they then leave, drive up the road and toss you out of their car at a bus stop and take off. Unfortunately this isn't a story this is Grandpas reality. He is confused, scared and unsure and rightly so. He likes other dogs, appears housebroken and is a sweet gentle soul. He would love a foster or better yet a forever home to call his own. Please consider giving our sweet Grandpa a chance. If interested you can fill out an application on our website AACNJ.ORG

12/11Update we have gotten quite a few apps today for Grandpa. While the office was closed today so applications will be processed tomorrow.We have noticed on some applications people seem to think Grandpa is a small dog so we wanted to add that he is 60lbs so there is no confusion.Thank you to everyone interested in our boy and please keep in mind there are dozens of other dogs like him that also need homes. ....

CONNECTICUT. RESCUE OR LHASA APSO EXPERIENCE A MUST!
This dog was found in deplorable condition outside of an abandoned school. When he was found the Aco thought he was dead. He wasn’t moving. When the dog was picked up, he screamed in fear and in pain. He was rushed to the ER where he was sedated and shaved down. His body is covered in bruises and wounds. It’s unknown from what but the vet believes he was hit by car or suffered from some type of trauma.
He is cranky…can’t blame him…likely from fear, pain and of course his breed.
We want to give him a chance to find a place of love, acceptance and understanding.
He will try to bite. NO KIDS, NO UNEXPERIENCED PEOPLE PLEASE.

Gabriel update. On Thanksgiving day Strong Island Animal Rescue League got a call about a cat stuck in a fence that was not using his back legs. Most rescues would have brought the cat to animal emergency and surrendered him only to be euthanized. We went the the extra mile to get him x-rays with the hopes that is was not a broken back…. And guess what ? It is a fractured pelvis that can be fixed with 3 months cage rest and steroids! We love defining the odds but Gabriel needs your help! This is still a long road to recovery and he will need a foster and more vet visits to help him along. If anyone is interested in helping him please let us know Teamwork saves them to donate towards his care https://www.strongislandanimalrescueleague.org/pages/donate-today

5 years ago today, Murphy went missing from his owner Morris after being rushed to the hospital.

Murphy followed after the ambulance & hasn’t been seen since. 5 months later, Morris passed away without ever seeing his best friend Murphy.

My heart hurts not knowing where he is, but I refuse to give up.

Murphy, wherever you are, whoever you’re with, please know you have a family that still loves you & we will never stop looking for you❤️

Thank you everyone for your continued love & support. It means more than you know💕

Despite our rescue being at full capacity, we recently admitted seven dogs who endured a trauma surpassing our worst nightmares. Humane agents from our organization responded to a local crime scene a few nights ago, where a man and woman had been brutally shot in their home. The seven dogs, including four newborn puppies, were the sole witnesses to this heinous crime. The man was killed instantly, and the woman was critically transported to the hospital. Upon our arrival, their distressed dogs were found shaking uncontrollably, unable to comprehend the nightmarish incident they had just witnessed.

Details about the circumstances of this barbaric attack are limited, but it's evident these dogs are in severe emotional distress. The horrifying experience of witnessing their owners being gunned down in their own home must have been traumatic for these sweet pups. Questions arise about how long these gentle dogs whined and pawed at their owners' lifeless bodies before first responders arrived. Among them, one had recently given birth to a litter of puppies, so new to the world that their eyes had not yet opened. The mother likely feared for the safety of her little ones during this distressing incident.

Fortunately, we safely transported this little cohort to a secure location where they are currently decompressing. While an investigation into the incident is ongoing, this group will remain in our care. Upon intake, with no collars or tags, the names of these sweet pups are unknown. We've chosen to call the mama pup Noel, and her babies are Jingle Jangle, Jolly, and Joy. The other two adult dogs are named Buddy and Joy. Much like the conditions surrounding the attack on their owners, their pasts remain a mystery to us. However, we are dedicated to providing this family with the love and care necessary for their recovery from the trauma they endured.

Please consider helping these innocent victims by donating to their medical fund or sending a get-well gift from their wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements.

Thank you so much for your gracious compassion. ❤️

In a time of dire need and heartbreak, Safe From Slaughter Equine Rescue, dedicated to rescuing at-risk equines from the slaughter pipeline, has encountered an unimaginable tragedy jeopardizing the core of our mission.

Disaster struck our rescue this week as our rehabilitation facility, situated in a private residence, succumbed to a devastating fire. This location, both a sanctuary for rescued animals and a crucial operational hub, was reduced to ashes, resulting in the loss of essential supplies for our rescued horses.

The flames engulfed our feed and supply room, claiming the entire home. Unfortunately, some feline companions did not survive, and several animals are hospitalized in critical condition.

Amidst the chaos, we're working to set up a temporary electric pole to ensure a continuous water supply for the horses. The recovery journey seems daunting, but our determination to press on remains strong for the sake of the animals relying on us.

In this time of sorrow, we reach out to our valued supporters with a plea for help. Any donation, regardless of size, will significantly impact our efforts to rebuild and overcome the obstacles we face. Your contribution will aid in replenishing essential supplies, covering hospitalization costs for our injured animals, securing a new rehabilitation location, and ensuring ongoing care for the equines dependent on our rescue.

As the holiday season begins, we understand the weight of giving may feel particularly heavy. Nevertheless, we implore you to consider the lives at stake. Your support is a lifeline for our organization and the horses facing the threat of slaughter and dealing with the aftermath of the tragic fire.

Please consider helping by donating to our medical fund or sending a get-well gift from our wishlist, such as food, treats, and supplements.

Momma Maggie (& babies) need your help!

Since going into labor late last night, it has become obvious that poor Maggie has no idea what is happening and this is likely her first litter.

Her first puppy began to make its way out but Maggie didn’t step in to assist as a mother dog would. Luckily her foster was actively waiting to step in as needed and deliver the baby.

Maggies belly is HUGE for her little frame and time went by without any more babies.

At 3 am our team brought her to the emergency vet along with her puppy we have named Carl. Maggie wouldn’t nurse him and he needed milk.

The vet team determined Maggie is way too little and underweight to deliver on her own. A c section was needed to get the babies out.

Because we dont know about Maggies history during this pregnancy we can only assume she wasnt given the nutrients pregnant moms should receive and may have been impregnated by a much larger dog. (Reason 638488372 to Spay & Neuter your animals)

While Maggie waits for surgery, her puppy Carl has been able to get some milk. We are PRAYING she accepts the rest of these babies. If not, we will be looking for MA bottle feeders.

This is another unexpected and expensive cost ($6k deposit so far) to our rescue and donations are extremely appreciated at this time.
