🍜ADOPT RAMEN🍜

Our little noodle boy got neutered yesterday which means we can start taking adoption applications on him! He gets his last set of vaccines tomorrow and then he will be ready to go. He is roughly two years old but he is a small boy. He only weighs around 38lbs and looks size wise about like a 6 month old puppy, he is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, he has been dewormed, and he has been 4DX tested and is negative.

Ramen is a very sweet and sensitive boy and he honestly is not thriving here at Camp PPR. He hates his kennel and while we try to give him as much h extra time outside and as much one on one time as possible, he just hates the kennel environment. The longer that he stays here, the worse he will get behavior wise as well and we don’t want to see him decline. He loves people, he’s loves other dogs and is fine with cats. He is a very loving and loyal boy that just craves attention from humans.

He will require either leash walks or a tall wooden/vinyl like privacy fence, as he can jump/climb 4ft chain link fences and will do so even if you are outside with him. I think most of his anxiety could be rectified just by being in a home and not a kennel environment, but we are more than willing to help you throughout the transition of adoption/foster to adopt, etc. and will do anything in our power to help him acclimate to your home. We also always offer a two week trial period that can be extended as long as necessary to make sure that your home will be a good fit for Ramen as well as that he is a good fit for you and your family and any other animals you may have. We do also think he would benefit heavily from having another dog in the home to learn from and to help keep him company while his family is out of the house.

Ramen’s adoption fee would be $120 and he will come with a wire crate, a bag of food, a toy, a bag of treats, a leash, a collar, a harness, and an extra months worth of Nexgard Plus. And as we mentioned above, he is fully vetted. We just want to get him into a home that he can call his own. If you’d like to set up a meet and greet with Ramen please go to www.campppr.com/adopt to fill out an application! 💙

⚠️WE ARE CLOSED TO INTAKE⚠️

We hate to make this post, but we have to close to intake indefinitely at this time. We have so many adoptable animals with such potential that desperately need homes right now. We absolutely cannot take in any additional animals at this time until we get some of our current animals adopted. Donations are very slow and adoptions are non-existent and we cannot keep going like this. We have to get some adoptions going. We have a ton of adoption specials right now as well!

If youd like to send us supplies, here is our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GOZA30HEN7M9?ref_=wl_share

(Also, please be patient with us if you message - one of our admins had to have emergency surgery yesterday and we are a little short staffed at the moment. Thankfully she is doing fine now! We will most likely resume community wellness days next weekend but we will update if we don’t have enough hands for whatever reason.)

The weather is also going to be in the 100's this week, so please take your animals inside and make sure they have plenty of access to clean cold water.

I just want to make this clear as well: IF YOU ABANDON AN ANIMAL IN OUR DONATION BOX WE WILL PRESS CHARGES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW (especially in this heat). If you abandon an animal in our driveway, the road in front of our facility, etc. we have cameras that cover all of that and we will use that. Last summer we had over 30 animals dumped here in a two month period and we literally cannot survive that again.

If you have been considering adding to your family and are interested in adopting, please go to www.campppr.com/adopt to fill out an application today.

If you find, have, lose, or come across an animal in need please contact your local county shelter first to see if they can assist you.

🚨 EMERGENCY! 🚨

One of our cats, Reaper, began having trouble breathing today and had to be rushed to the vet. Unfortunately, we found that he was having an asthma attack. He has always been extremely healthy and has never had any issues until now but he was gasping for air and laying on his side trying to breathe.

He needed some X-rays to check his chest and our veterinarian was able to give him some steroid injections to help his breathing. He has settled now and is doing better but we are going to have to be very careful managing his asthma now that we know what is going on. On that note, we will be looking for a special home for him that has experience with cats with asthma or that would be willing to administer his meds as needed.

We also need donations to help cover this unexpected vet visit. Please consider donating today to help this sweet boy! 💙

Last year Holden’s brother and bestest friend in the whole world passed away. We were all heartbroken as these boys had been with us since 2014 and they were extremely bonded. Holden surprised us all with how well he did after losing his brother. We thought for sure that he would grieve himself to death or become severely depressed but we did everything in our power to keep him happy and healthy and to give him extra attention. (The very last photo is of the boys together when they were much younger.)

Holden is now at least 13-14 years old and he’s starting to slow down. He is still very active and wants to cuddle and be loved on, but he’s getting extremely picky with his food and he’s just not been feeling great with this heat the last few days. He refuses to eat unless it is canned food and for his size to keep his weight up he needs 4-5 cans of food a day. We are currently extremely low on canned dog food (we go through around 19-20 cans of dog food per day not counting him) and we desperately need your help. We only have a few cases of canned dog food left and that will not last very long. Especially with Holden only eating canned food as of late.

Please consider sending Holden some canned dog food so that we can keep him as comfy and as happy as possible in his old age. This sweet boy deserves the world and I know you guys are probably tired of hearing this by now, but we are literally drowning. We are quite literally barely staying afloat right now. If something can go wrong, it has this week and we desperately need help and donations.

Here is a link to our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GOZA30HEN7M9?ref_=wl_share

If you’d like to send food from anywhere else, you can ship it to 1020 county road 35 Chesapeake, OH 45619.

We have been lucky enough to receive a donation of a pallet of cat litter from Dr. Elsey’s brand cat litter once a year over the last two years or so that has managed to keep us from having to ask for litter too often. However, with the lack of cat adoptions the last several months we are down to about a week of cat litter left for our cat building that houses 32 cats currently. We also just sent Mama Moonscar, Mojo and Mona (the kitties that were left in our donation box last week) to a foster home and their foster will be needing more cat litter for them as well.

We greatly need your help at this time as well are still struggling heavily with donations and supplies. Please consider checking out our Amazon Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GOZA30HEN7M9?ref_=wl_share

If you prefer to shop elsewhere, feel free to ship any size, brand or type of cat litter (we prefer clumping but anything helps) to 1020 County Road 35 Chesapeake, OH 45619.

You can also drop things off at Guyan Animal Hospital in Huntington or you can drop things off at our facility in Chesapeake. If our gate is closed, feel free to leave donations in the donation boxes located to the left of our gate.

OR….you could just adopt a kitty or two! We have an adoption promo going on from now until July 31st and we are trying to find homes for as many of our cats as we possibly can. Here are some that are available below!

A friendly reminder for all the pet parents out there!
The 4th of July is coming up, and while we may love the fireworks, our pets usually don’t.

Now’s the perfect time to get them ready:
🔹 Make sure ID tags & microchip info are up to date
🔹 Create a quiet, safe space at home
🔹 Get exercise in early to burn off energy
🔹 Talk to your vet now about sedatives or calming meds if needed

Let’s make sure our furry friends stay safe, calm, and comfortable this holiday!

✨Help us welcome Moonscar, Mojo and Mona!✨

A few days ago we posted about someone texting our number to let us know that they left a little mama cat and a kitten in our donation box. (Link to original post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Xw8H4P9ar/?mibextid=wwXIfr) The people that left them here did let us know that they put them there, thankfully. However, they also reached out yesterday again to let us know that mama had a second kitten that they found under their house and had been trying to catch.

They were able to catch the second little one last night and we worked with to reunite mama and her kitten that we already had with their second kitten. The second little one is a little girl and a tortie. She is a little spicy, but she was SO happy to see her mom and sibling. She had been away from her mom for a few days and was definitely hot, hungry and a little stinky.

They are all back together now and safe here at Camp PPR! However, we STILL need your help! One of our staff is going to foster these guys but we desperately need a playpen for this little family before they can go to foster so that they can be quarantined properly. We also still need canned kitten food and some other items for these guys that we listed on our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GOZA30HEN7M9?ref_=wl_share

Please consider donating or sending an item or two from their wishlist! All of the kitty items are the first several listed! So far we have received two bags of dry kitten food from their wishlist. 💕
