UPDATE ON MOM & 11 PUPS:
✨Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LUNX4TW96C9O?ref_=wl_share ✨
We are very sorry for the delay in update, but yesterday we quite literally had to put our all into keeping the puppies alive and getting Mama calmed down and hydrated, etc. On top of that we had vet appointments and our full house of animals to care for so it was a very long day. I will try to answer all of the questions that I can in this post but we will be making another update later today with pictures of the surviving 11 puppies and better pictures of mama after we do some vetting on them all today. The snippet of video below is from Mama this morning counting and checking on her babies. 💜
First and foremost, THANK YOU! We are beyond appreciative of everyone that has come together and donated to help us with these kiddos. We quite literally couldn’t do this without you.
When Mama was found yesterday, she was extremely dehydrated, her blood pressure was through the roof (her gums were dark red) and she was just in a state of panic and was absolutely frantic and probably bordering heat stroke territory. One puppy succumbed to the heat and that left us with 11 babies. Two are very small and are still a little puny but all of the babies were up and moving and nursing and doing SO much better today. They could barely stand yesterday and if they did stand they would just fall over from heat exhaustion and severe dehydration. So we are thrilled with the progress they have made already.
Once Mama calmed down her gums were pale white and she was having bleeding and discharge from her vagina which isn’t great considering these puppies are actually probably a little bit older than we initially thought just because of how bad off they were yesterday. Most of them couldn’t even open their eyes and couldn’t walk so we assumed at first that they were probably about 7 days old, but I think they are probably closer to 10-14 days old. They do not
This morning we were able to catch one of the two remaining babies that was dumped yesterday in the tote half a mile from us! After being on her own last night she seemed happy to see us and after a few minutes of calling for the kitties she slowly emerged from the wood line. It took some convincing, but eventually she let us grab her! Unfortunately we haven’t seen the second one at all. We do have a humane trap set for the second one and we are hoping that it will get hungry today and come out of hiding! Fingers and paws crossed!

Update 🤦🏻♀️: I never thought that we would have to edit this post to share that we DO NOT keep Jasmine in a damn box but here we are. Jasmine and Ember have their OWN ROOM at our facility. The video below is only showing a small portion of her KENNEL because that’s the best view we could get without a proper mount for the camera at the time as we needed to make sure we could see her that night and didn’t have one on hand. There are literally pictures of her room in the comments and a layout of her kennel. If you’ve ever been to our facility, you’ve most likely seen it. So no, Jasmine IS NOT pacing because she is locked in a box and can’t see anything or is shut off to humanity. Her and Ember get SO much love and attention daily because they are our hospice kids and we know that our time with both of them is limited. So…forgive me if this comes off harsh but we’re tired of whoever started this little campaign about Jasmine but it’s untrue and anyone that knows us knows that girl has been spoiled beyond belief here as well as Ember. Jaz has dementia. This is what dementia looks like in dogs. This is WHY we posted this video. Is it a cute happy video? No it isn’t. Is it reality? Yes, it is.
Original post: We have a little bit of a depressy update about our favorite unruly princess Jazzy J (aka Jasmine). We’ve noticed that she hasn’t been acting quite herself for the last few weeks, has seemed more tired each day, and overall just a little more confused. We thought that she might be getting a touch of doggy dementia (canine cognitive disorder) but aside from her acting a little off we didn’t have any real symptoms or proof to confirm this….until last night.
Yesterday, Jaz didn’t want to get up at all and acted like she just couldn’t go anymore but her vitals were all normal and she seemed okay medically. We were honestly questioning how much time we had left with her and if she was just getting too tired to continue on. How
It has been a ridiculous morning/afternoon here at Camp PPR with the Tornado warnings and bad weather, but everyone here is safe and we are okay for now! I cannot say the same for the proctorville area unfortunately, it looks like it was hit pretty hard. If you are located in Lawrence county and surrounding areas PLEASE make sure to get your pets inside. It looks like there may be more rounds of bad weather coming our way.
If there are animals in danger, trapped, or tied out in a flooding area or anything like that due to this storm feel free to message us and we will do what we can to help.
Princess Jazzy J is back at it again! She’s got a big attitude today (almost bigger than Snooki’s) and she wants everyone to know about it. Why is she in a mood you may ask? Well, we think it’s because we are running low and/or out of several things that we need for her and Ember as well as a few other important supplements for other dogs. Our old ladies gotta have their gas pills, laxative, and probiotics I guess. 😅
We’ve made a wishlist with these important items on it, it’s just a handful of things, but we do desperately need to restock these items before med refill day (Thursday). Here is that link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3S8FSLOF7SF99?ref_=wl_share
Also on that wishlist is a set of dog treat containers. Those are on there because we had a mishap with our pill pocket container (which was fully glass) and the lid was knocked off the desk and broken yesterday. We won’t say who by….but witnesses say Jazzy J here might have been in on the great pill pocket heist of 2024. 👀 So, we really need a new (non-glass) air tight container to store all of our pill pockets that we use daily on our med table.
Please check out Jasmines wishlist and consider sending some goodies if you can! 🩷
Willow has been going through her puppy chew bones like crazy! Apparently when she finishes one…this is what she does for funsies. All in all though, she’s feeling so much better than when she came in! 🩷
The meanest dog at our shelter 🤣🩷
Mama Daisy and baby Willow are super appreciative of all the toys, food, treats, donated towards their care and other goodies that you guys have sent them!
If you missed their story over the weekend, this adorable dynamic duo was abandoned in the road in front of the gate to our facility right before some really bad storms hit. It took us two days to find both of them, but they have been reunited and are happy and safe now!
Mama has some health issues, but baby Willow (aside from being starved and anemic) seems to be doing really well! 🩷
Apparently this is how Ember feels about early morning vet appointments 🤣🩷
We have Emmy going today to have her paws checked out (they have some weird stuff going on) as well as she has new masses that have popped up recently, so it’s time for another met check with X-rays and such.
Our best big boy Max is also headed to the vet this morning because he has some new masses that have popped up, including one really close to his eye. We’ve removed cancerous masses from him previously so we always keep an eye on anything that pops up.
Addy or Adelaide…our big hound girl that was found hit by a car and bleeding out in the road several months ago is finally ready to be spayed! So she’s being spayed today and hopefully that will bring us one step closer to finding her a home to call her own.
And last but not least, our little Snooki is sneaking in for a little checkup too (bloodwork and an aspirate) if they have time because we found a mass right up against her spine last night and it needs checked out to see what we are dealing with.
I know we’ve asked for so much lately, but these were all pre-scheduled vet appts that just have to happen obviously. They’re very important. So, please consider donating if you can towards their appointments today because it will probably be a total of around $800 or so today with all the X-rays and Addy’s surgery and fine needle aspirations, etc!

Snooki is big mad and taking her anger out on her toy today. We are out of her favorite food and she is enraged by the thought of eating the same canned food that the other peasants (dogs) eat. She demands retribution immediately, otherwise one of us will probably lose a finger.
Please check out our Amazon Wishlist below and send Snooki some of her favorite foods (the top few foods on the list, we put her name on them as well) so that she doesn’t overthrow the kennels.

✨Update on Mama Piper! ✨
(Our emergent mama from last week, if you missed it: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/XwqZ9QjWS3YTqWWr/?mibextid=WC7FNe )
We are beyond happy to announce that Piper is absolutely thriving since her c-section and is healing so well. I honestly don’t think she even realized anything event happened aside from she knew she was in pain and now she feels better and she’s just appreciative of that.
She hasn’t been grieving the babies she lost, we honestly don’t think her body ever fully prepared for puppies to begin with. She never got milk in even at full term and we suspect this might have been her first litter so she might not have fully realized everything going on, which is honestly a blessing.
She’s the most lovable and sweet girl. She is your typical husky/husky mix that talks back, is a little mouthy, and has selective hearing but is smart as a tack when she wants to be. She knows how to sit and how to shake so far (on her own terms of course.)
This sweet girl will need another week or two to heal from her c-section, but we will start taking applications on her now. We won’t be setting up meet and greets until about two weeks out from now, but if you’d like to apply to adopt Piper feel free to go to www.campppr.com/adopt and fill out an application!
Piper is dog friendly and cat friendly. She is spayed now, she is up to date on vaccinations, and she will be fully dewormed and microchipped before adoption. She did test positive for Lyme disease and Ehrlichia, which are tick borne diseases. They require her to be on an antibiotic for 30 days as well as we recommend her stay on a hip & joint supplement long term.
She can have Lyme flares in the future that would affect her joints and such later on with swelling/pain - but we just treat symptomatically with another round of antibiotics when that happens. So if you are interested in Piper just keep in mind that she could need some additional TLC/vet appts in the fut
We have had snow, snow, and more snow here at Camp PPR over the last week or so! We still have everyone inside in temp housing because of the temperatures and weather but we are hoping it warms up soon so these babies can run off some energy! I think they all enjoyed running and playing in the snow with our staff as well. We are managing, the days are just super slow and it’s been taking us an hour and a half to get our staff to and from Camp PPR because of the snow when normally it only takes 15-20 minutes.
A huge thank you to everyone that sent items from our Amazon Wishlist! We desperately needed all of the things and you guys have absolutely came through for us. We appreciate you so much. ❤️
If you’d still like to help, we have added a few more things that we are running low on or out of as well that we could definitely use! ➡️ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BPO97PGWCFMB?ref_=wl_share
Please consider donating monetarily as well, as we are going to have much bigger monthly costs for keeping our doors open this month and next due to the weather, these much longer hours, and just overall utilities, etc.

It’s that time again where Princess Jazzy J (Jasmine) is ALMOST out of her ‘under the weather chicken and rice’ and beef liver that she DEMANDS. Otherwise she refuses to eat her food if those two things aren’t mixed in. We go through a lot of it and unfortunately it’s the only consistent thing that we can get her to eat so we gotta do what we gotta do (and yes we have offered her literally everything lol.)
So, please consider taking a moment to check out this Amazon Wishlist! It has a variety of different sizes and prices of options for beef liver and under the weather for Jaz. ❤️

GUESS WHO IS AWAKE?! Mama Nyla woke up late late last night while at our emergency vet! It was still touch and go and very much so baby steps but then she finally also was able to stand, and then she was able to start drinking water on her own, and then by this morning she started eating on her own! By the time we went to pick her up today we literally didn’t even recognize her. They told us they weren’t sure if she would walk out and to hold on and then a few moments later she came out walking on her own and wagging her tail.
She seems to be cognitively functional as of now (though we don’t really know what her previous normal was), but we are still cautiously optimistic because she did most likely suffer a neurological event to some degree. She’s also still severely anemic and fighting off a horrible infection throughout her body, so she needs time and a lot of TLC, meds, supplements, etc to get back to herself.
We desperately need items to help with her anemia (we are out of the canned food we usually use for our anemia protocols) as well as a lot of other supplements and supplies that we go through in these extreme cases. We have made an Amazon Wishlist for her so anything on the wishlist that you can send would be much appreciated! If you want to send her any special goodies or treats or anything that isn’t on our wishlist feel free to do so, just ship it to 1020 county road 35 Chesapeake, OH 45619 and just address it to Nyla PPR!

Her one puppy that did survive is being bottle fed by our staff round the clock (he can’t nurse from her because of the infection and medications she is on) and we also desperately need some extra supplies for him as well! He’s doing really well though so far!
We apologize for the late update today but it’s been a long day and we had to get mama settled and make sure she was taken care of first and foremost. At least
Baby Queso made it through the night and is feeling SO much better than he did yesterday! This is the most active we have seen him and he started eating his food out of a spoon this morning vs. having to be syringe fed! 🖤
Princess Stinky Jasmine is upsetti spaghetti today because she refuses to eat any of her food unless it has some Under the Weather (in our Amazon wishlist below) mixed in her food daily. She is the pickiest eater we have ever seen (aside from sweet Lola) but she definitely makes her wishes known and screams at us until she gets what she wants. Please consider saving us all a headache and sending Jasmine some Under the Weather chicken & rice (first two things on the wishlist) for Jazzy J Superstar today! P.s. Check out those goofy teeth she has going on 🩷

✨Alfie Update: Dog that was shot!✨
Little Alfie Alfredo is doing okay. We haven’t updated much since he was sprung from the ER because he’s honestly been having a really rough time. He has been super depressed, refusing to walk for us, wouldn’t go potty for us, refusing to eat much of anything, and trying to bite when we go to give him his meds, he decided to rip his drain out of his incision (even with his cone on) and overall…he’s just having a really tough time adapting. I do not blame him at all, considering he was shot which I’m sure was highly traumatic for him in itself, then he had his leg amputated, AND in addition to that he was neutered at the same time. So, I’m sure he’s very overwhelmed right now. The last few days any time we’ve tried to get him up and walking, he very dramatically screams at us and then proceeds to throw himself down in the grass.
However, today…after a few tantrums…he finally started actually walking more than just a few steps! He had his first post surgery poop and pee finally, and he only threw himself down once! He goes back for a checkup in a few days and we are hopeful he didn’t mess anything up taking the drain removal into his own grubby little paws.
Overall, I think he has a little bit of a ways to go until he’s back to feeling like himself completely but I think he will get back there eventually. Please keep lil Alfie in your thoughts and we will keep you updated on his recovery! We currently do not have any leads on who shot this little guy, but we ask if you have any information at all in regards to what happened please reach out to us.
Please also consider donating towards his continuing vet care, treatment, vaccinations, hw test, flea/tick prevention, and so much more.
He also has an Amazon Wishlist if you’d like to send him some goodies!: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1JW2IFPN3ALMM?ref_=wl_share
