Hello, Everyone -

TGIF! 🎉

This is Joe Jonas. Yes, I'm still here . . .

Last Sunday a nice family stopped by to meet me. I was so excited - they even bought a stuffed animal for me. ❣️ I was hopeful that I had finally found my family. Sadly, I never heard from them. I love the stuffed animal they gave to me, though. I sleep with it every night. 🙂

So, back to PetSmart I go!
My weekend plans are always so predictable,
aren't they? -
PetSmart!
PetSmart!
PetSmart!

Tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 15th, I will be at PetSmart on Dressler Road, from
10:30-1:00. I am bringing some new puppy friends with me. Ryder will be back, along with
newcomers, Maverick, Bandit and Stormy,
(Stormy -the only girl).

Since I am older than the other puppies, I'll be sure to keep them all in line!

Joe Jonas - 7 months

The other puppies - 3 months

I hope to see you, tomorrow, at PetSmart on
Dressler Road. It should be a fun time!

Your friend, Joe Jonas 🐾

Alyna Update:
It's time to celebrate, everyone! 🎉🎉

Alyna is no longer hospitalized at Humble Creatures. She was discharged on November 6th. Her dental surgery went well. She has only one tooth left. Poor thing!

Alyna went home with antibiotics. She should be finished with her medication by the end of this week. She is still a bit congested. 😢

Alyna is very happy living indoors with her foster family where she is safe and warm. Her motor started running earlier this evening and it hasn't stopped running, yet. 💕

Happy Monday 🐾

Hello, Guess Who?

It's me, again, Joe Jonas!
I had a fun playdate at Petsmart, yesterday, with Ryder and Rubble. Since I'm older than they are, I have assumed the role of being their self-appointed big brother. I keep a watchful eye out over them at all times.

I have some exciting news to share with you . . . Rubble has found a home! When his new family saw him, it was love at first sight. ❣️
I will miss that little guy but I am thrilled he now has a family of his own.

Ryder and I will be at PetSmart again, today.
I know that 'patience is a virtue' so I'm really trying hard to be patient. I really am but I can't help but feel a bit discouraged. Will I ever find a home?
Oh well, I know there is a family out there for me, somewhere. Until then, I'll continue to spend weekends at PetSmart, playing with Ryder and waiting for the day I can finally announce MY adoption to everyone, too. 🤞

Ryder and I will be at PetSmart on Dressler Road from 11:00-1:30, today.

If you're in the neighborhood, please stop by to say, 'hi'.

P.S. A little known secret about me . . . I have an adorable 'under bite' that always makes people smile. 😊

Stay warm.

Love,

Joe Jonas 🐾

Fantastic news! - 'Alyna' Update! 😺

Alyna had blood work done, today and her results were great! She has been approved for dental surgery, tomorrow, Thursday,
November 6th. Her mouth is in terrible shape - a lot of 'black' teeth. She will feel so much better after her surgery when she can finally eat without pain.

Rest up, Alyna.
You have a big day, tomorrow.

Update on Alyna!

Alyna is now on a new antibiotic.
Humble Creatures had hoped to perform dental surgery on Alyna this week but unfortunately, she is still a bit too sick for surgery. 😢
Once Dr. Carter feels that Alyna is strong enough for dental surgery, we will let everyone know. For now, Alyna is enjoying life indoors, resting and savoring every lick from her very favorite 'go-to' comfort treat - Delectables. 😺

Alyna has been hospitalized for 12 days. Tomorrow will be Day 13. She is a fighter!

Thank you to everyone who continues to reach out and inquire about Alyna's progress. ❣️🐾

Hello, Everyone -

My name is Kreme. 🐶 My family no longer wanted me. They said they were 'too busy' and didn't have time for me. 😢
I am a happy, active and playful dog. I enjoy walks. I am one of the best 'shadows' you will ever meet - I follow my family everywhere. I'm also a good listener. I work very hard at following directions.
I want my family to be proud of me. 💕

I am not a fan of rain, (🙂), baths or dog parks.

My new foster family and I are still getting to know one another. I'm sure once I have settled in and feel comfortable in my new home, my family will update you on how things are going!

I am very curious about cats. My foster family isn't sure it is a good idea to introduce me to cats. Since I've been known to chase squirrels, rabbits and birds, they believe that I will chase cats, too.
I get very anxious when I see a cat so my foster family keeps me separated from the felines in the house.

I have been around other dogs in the past so there is a possibility that I could have a
sibling one day.
That would be nice.

I am still looking for my previous family. I have spent all morning pacing, panting and looking out the window in hopes that I see them. Little by little, though, I am getting used to my new home. I'm very grateful that my foster family offered a place for me to stay. Had they not welcomed me into their home, I would be sitting in the Summit County Dog Pound right now.
😢

Our Story

We operate solely on donations and volunteer efforts. And, yes, it is a challenge. Do we euthanize animals we cannot place? NO! Absolutely not! The fact is, there is no animal that we can't place. Animals with disabilities or with chronic behavioral problems remain in foster care indefinitely. Fortunately, these cases are rare. Where are these animals housed? After being inoculated and given a clean bill of health, every animal is kept in a family environment. Of course, accommodations are limited, but foster homes provide a clean, safe environment where pets are handled frequently, responsibly and lovingly. Typically, they thrive under these conditions, making socialization and assimilation into a new home overwhelmingly successful. Do we take unwanted pets? Typically, no. While needy animals often come in multiples, new homes are carefully chosen...one at a time. Our facilities are usually full of rescues, but we will take photographs and basic information about your pet. Many people are very specific about the animal they wish to adopt. Your pet may be exactly what someone is seeking and we will assist in any way we can.
