We have dogs and cats galore! Puppies and adults. Please consider applying! All of these animals except two of the cats need a foster to adopt home. This means we need you to continue to bring them to our vet clinic in either Logan or Somerset so they can finish their care. Once spayed or neutered, your pets adoption can be finalized and you can transfer veterinary records to the clinic of your choice.To qualify as a foster to adopt home, you must live within a reasonable travel distance from our veterinary clinics. Additionally, if you have other pets in your home, they must be spay – neutered, current on vaccinations, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. The link to apply is in the comments below.

Our girl Sage went from floods to a fairy tale ending. Late Tuesday night we received a message asking if we did out-of-state adoptions. Absolutely, let me see how quickly we can get Sage spayed. So grateful for our friends at Mastersons, who was able to squeeze Sage in the very next day. On Thursday morning she left for her new home in Traverse City, Michigan with her new family. It was 9 hours one way!! When we ask you to share our posts, this is exactly what happens when you do. We are a little sad that she’s no longer a Buckeye, but her family is so fabulous, we can overlook the part where they are from TTUN. ...

Just when we think things can’t get any worse, Satan says, “Hold my beer”. For real, we could use more prayers here in Perry County. Today’s storms brought more flooding that had 20 dogs stranded on top of their dog boxes trying to keep from drowning. All dogs were rescued and are safe tonight thanks to our dog warden.We want to thank our Facebook friends for your support. There hasn’t been a single request that’s went unfilled. Food, beds, leashes, all of it, you came through for us. People are asking, what do we need now.……..manpower and money. We have currently committed to taking in 7 dogs and 2 cats who have lost their homes due to flooding. Stormie below, is one of those dogs. This brindle baby came from the first round of flooding in Crooksville. She left the shelter yesterday for a foster home in Columbus. We need more fosters and we need the funds to vet all these animals, it’s daunting and overwhelming when every day seems to bring a bigger challenge than the day before. Thank you for listening, thank you for caring. We are quickly learning this is not a sprint, but a marathon. If you feel led to help save a life through fostering. Click the link in the comments below. If you can support their veterinary care through a donation you can donate using the same website. Donating via facebook is an option too. We are just a few hours away from Friday, so close enough to do a $5 Friday. We have 11k facebook followers. If 1/4 of you would donate $5 we would be set. Keep the well wishes, good thoughts, and prayers coming. We are #perrycountystrong ...
