Meet Moose & Kojakā€“ Two Puppies Looking for a foster to adopt home. Kojak ā€“ 4 month old Shiba Inu mixMoose ā€“ 4 month old Border Collie mixMoose and Kojak were dumped on Township road 122 outside of New Lex. Left scared, confused, and waiting for someone who was never coming back. At just 4 months old, they were already shown how cruel people can be. Thankfully, they are now safe ā€” but safety is only the beginning. They deserve love, commitment and a forever family.If you have any information about who previously owned or dumped these puppies, please reach out to us. Animals are not disposable, and situations like this should never happen.Their foster has shared some wonderful updates about them. They keep a clean crate, working hard on potty training, and love kids. They are affectionate, playful, and eager to learn. To be qualify as a foster to adopt home you must live in Central or SE Ohio to utilize one of our two veterinary clinics while they complete their veterinary care. Clinics are located in Somerset and Logan, Oh. Other dogs in your home need to be current on vaccinations, on regular prevention for fleas ticks/Heartworms, and spayed/ neutered. This is non-negotiable.. The link to apply is in the comments below. Their story started with heartbreakā€¦ help us give them the ending they deserve. Please Share!! ... See MoreSee Less

PENDING ADOPTION!!!Mandy is approximately 12 weeks old female DSH. Workers at a grain mill were alerted to her presence when their resident cat started to attack her. No mom or siblings around, she just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Very sick and very thin, the workers were afraid she wouldnā€™t make it through the night since she was just skin and bones and her eyes were crusted shut. Some good food and TLC from a veterinary professional that offered to foster and she has gained weight and is learning how to be a proper kitten! She wants nothing more than to be loved (and to eat!)Mandy is now ready for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so she can finish her veterinary care (vaccines and spay) at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. The link to apply is in the comments below. Please share for Mandy. ... See MoreSee Less

Mama Bella was released from her life on a chain on Thursday when we had the most incredible couple step up to foster. The birth of her babies is imminent. Sadly, this is not Bellaā€™s first litter but we can assure you it will be her last.Now, safe in foster care, Mama Bella is preparing to welcome a new litter, surrounded by warmth, comfort, and people who see her for the incredible mother she is. Sheā€™s gentle and deeply affectionate ā€” happiest when sheā€™s pressed close beside you, leaning in for quiet cuddles. And when she looks at you, itā€™s not just a glanceā€¦ itā€™s that steady, soulful gaze that feels like she sees straight through to your heart. Her adorably cute Boxer underbite just makes you smile. Sheā€™s clever (especially when she decides sheā€™d rather escape her crate for extra snuggles), curious, and wonderfully devoted.If youā€™d like to be part of Mama Bellaā€™s fresh start, consider supporting her and her upcoming litter. We took her to see our friends at Logan Animal Clinic on Friday. She was checked over by Dr. Hern and staff. X-rays reveal we are looking at a very large litter of 10-12 puppies. Mama is excruciatingly thin. When these puppies are delivered sheā€™ll be nothing but skin and bones. In addition to a high quality puppy food it has been recommended we add additional protein to her kibble. Donations toward food, vet care, and supplies will help ensure these babies are born into safety and love. There are multiple ways you can help.- Kroger gift cards for the added protein needed for her food- Amazon wish list (in comments below)- It will cost us approximately $4,500 to fully vet 13 dogs if there are zero complications. You can help offset veterinary care by donating via our website (link is in the comments below)We hope you enjoy this maternity photo as much as we do. Sheā€™s really a beautiful girl that pictures donā€™t do justice. Please share to help Mama Bella and her family ā™„ļø ... See MoreSee Less
