Abby's Angels Animal Haven

National Train your dog month! What has your dog learned? Tell us! Britty is still a puppy, so has her moments, but she has learned over 15 tricks and commands. We do this by working on training during mealtime and when she’s chewing inappropriate things, because when puppies are getting into mischief, it means they’re bored! #trainyourpuppy #trainyourdog #rescuedog #abbysangelsanimalhaven #abbysangelsah

It’s no secret…. Snow days can be the best days! #zeph #sypher #leto #pandora #rune #riddle

Patricia is enjoying some #WinterMagic

Britty wanted to wish you a happy New Years Eve and show you what she’s learned this year! She has learned: sit, down, paw, other paw, both paws, back up, off, touch, spin, sit pretty, wait, “selfie,” wave, high five and crawl. She’s excited to learn more in 2025! Britty is awaiting her second visit to OSU to have her cleft palate re-evaluated. She hopes that maybe you’ll use today, the last day of the year, to make one last contribution! If it’s in your heart, we’re hoping a few people will be generous enough to send 20.25 today to celebrate the new year and all of our Angels. 🥂Venmó abbysangelsanimalhaven 🥳cshapp AbbysAngelsAH 🍾PPal [email protected] ❤️Somerset PA KL17336

Florian passed? His cat test….. I suppose you can say. He’s afraid of them 😉 this big baby bully is still waiting on his family to find him ❤️

Britty’s Journey so far

This is Britty’s journey so far. If you haven’t been around long, Britty came to us at just 13 days old, weighing only 14 ounces. She was born with a cleft palate that runs the length of both her hard and soft palate. She was tube fed until she was 5 weeks old. She learned to drink from a water bottle until she was able to tolerate water from a bowl. She started out way behind in weight and growth because of her defect, but she hasn’t let that stop her from becoming exactly who she needs to be. She now is a normal sized 14 week old puppy. She sees a specialist at Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center to monitor her palate until she is able to have surgery, or until it’s deemed not necessary. This is who we are, this is what we do. We fight for the ones who need a little bit extra. We give them our all, so that when their time comes, they can give their all to the families meant just for them. Somerset PA KL 17336

Elara

Update on Elara. Her bloodwork was completed and her white blood cell count was basically zero (0.11) Which means her body is fighting much harder than it can keep up with. She is in isolation, has had a nasogastric feeding tube placed to provide her some sustenance. She has received the new parvovirus monoclonal antibody treatment. She is on antibiotics, anti-nausea medications and IV fluids. Her glucose is being monitored as puppies already have a hard time regulating their sugar levels, but especially so when they are sick. She is having continued diarrhea. She is maintaining her body temperature though, so that is an upside. This video was taken while she was waiting to be admitted. The estimate of care is a minimum of 3 days of hospitalization in the critical care unit. Depending on how she responds, it could be up to 7. There is also no guarantee she will be able to fight off the virus, but she is being given the absolute best chance she can be. The estimate of the cost of her care is in the comments below. We have had a total of $360 sent towards her care, including a $100 donation given directly to CPVets (this is an option if you would like to do so). Any amount is so very appreciated, and will help us, help her fight and hopefully be able to give her a chance at the fullest life she could ever dream of.

We were honored and so blessed to receive the most perfect washer and dryer set earlier this year from Martin Appliance and Speed Queen Home Laundry after being nominated by one of their amazing employees, Ryan Swope. We are truly so very thankful for their contribution and generosity and have put both to good use!

We know this month holds many art and craft festivals, but we are hoping this masterpiece will catch your eye. Jilly. Little Jilly is a very special pup who is awaiting an equally special person who is willing and dedicated to caring for her. Jilly is quite simply amazing. She is affectionate, happy, and deserves so much love. She is a confident little girl who loves everyone she meets. Jilly does have a condition called Mega Esophagus, which means that she was born with an enlarged esophagus that doesn’t carry food to her stomach properly. Because of this, she has to eat upright in a Bailey chair at every meal, and remain upright for 20-30 minutes after eating so gravity can help her food reach her stomach. This will be lifelong. Her food has to be mixed with water so that it can travel down her esophagus easily. Aside from her throat not working right, she is perfectly healthy. Jilly will need a dedicated person or family who is familiar with her condition, or one who is willing to learn. Taking care of her is pretty easy, it just requires some extra mealtime snuggling. We will offer support, continued education and work with her family to ensure her and their success. She would be fine as an only dog, with a tolerant dog, she had a great deal of sass—which is probably why she’s flourished so well—and she does fine with cats. She is just under 20 lbs, is a year old and is likely a doxy mix of some sort. This sweet girl is an original. A one-of-a-kind. And while we know her forever home will need to be as special as her, we know they are out there. And we are hoping you can help share her posts so they can find her. 🐾To view full bios on each dog, please see our webpage or the photos section on our fb page for the album “Meet Our Angels.” 🐾To add one of our Angels to your family, please see the featured section on our fb and the post titled “All things information.”

Florian is smelling to see if his forever is around the corner!
