The countdown is on - only 6 days until Christmas! Don't forget to pack your patience as you head out to shop for those last minute gifts. ๐ŸŽ

We have some exciting news to share with you . . .
Joe Jonas has been adopted! ๐ŸŽ‰
He has wriggled his way into the hearts of his new family. Joe enjoys trips to the Dog Park, visits from Grandma, โ™ฅ๏ธ breakfast with mom in the mornings, (while the kids sleep - ๐Ÿ™‚), meeting family friends, and, most of all snuggling.
This is what Joe's mom said about him in a recent update -

'B', a.k.a., Joe, is the best baby ever. He is kind and gentle. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our family. He is the most snuggly guy ever! ๐Ÿ’•

It doesn't get much better than that. We love those โ€˜feel good' updates.

*Joe's new name is, โ€˜Biscuit' but he usually just goes by, 'B'. ๐Ÿ™‚ Cute.

We miss you, 'B'!
Your patience sure paid off. Your new family loves you so much. ๐Ÿพ

Remember sweet Alyna? Sheโ€™s still just as sweet as ever. She never stops purring. She is very loving and affectionate. She is getting along well with her foster cat and dog siblings. Her favorite thing to do is eat soft cat food and curl up in her giant cat bed. ๐Ÿพ
Alyna is still congested, so she went for a check up at the vet. She had an upper respiratory culture taken and results should be back in 10 days. We can then treat Alyna based on those results. She was also given a steroid injection to help with her congestion. Good news- Alyna has gained 2 lbs since she was first seen at the vet!
Alyna is still looking for her forever home.
Whoever adopts her must understand that she most likely has lived 12 years in survival mode outside. Her health is not perfect. She is happy to be curled up taking a nap for most of the day. She is so deserving of a forever home to spend her remaining years โค๏ธ

Meet Hope aka Mama โค๏ธ
Mama has endured three pregnancies, and she is only a baby herself, at one year old. When she was given to us, one of her babies was actively dying. We took him to the emergency vet but unfortunately, he could not be saved. Just 24 hours later, her daughter died. Mama and her remaining child stayed with their foster and thrived. Her baby has been adopted.

Mama and babies were tested and negative for feline leukemia or aids. The deaths of the babies was simply a result of living a life outside - malnourished and living in the cold.

Here is what her foster has to say about her:

โ€œShe is OBSESSED with wet food (make sure whoever adopts her is willing to give her a little each day). She is the sweetest kitty ever. I fell asleep on the couch last night & she snuggled on my chest all night. She could probably co-habitate with anyone... she just LOVES humans. Probably would not put her in a house with someone elderly though because she wants to follow under your feet & you have to be careful not to step on her. She is seriously such a cutie pie... her coloring & her adorable wiggly tail with the tiny white tip & ring are THE BEST โ€œ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

A big THANK YOU to everyone who braved the weather this past weekend and came out to support our Santa Photo Holiday Fundraiser at Pet Supplies Plus in North Canton. In the battle of wills between Santa and Mother Nature, Santa won the battle, hands down! Mother Nature did not deter those determined to have photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus. ๐Ÿคถ๐ŸŽ… It warms our hearts to see the love our Santa Photo customers have for their four-legged family members. โ™ฅ๏ธ It never gets old.
We even had two well-loved skunks stop by for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus ๐Ÿฆจ๐Ÿฆจ

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.
