FOSTER PENDING Ducky had a vet visit yesterday. We received some good news and bad. Here’s the real problem. He’s currently still at the shelter. While we adore our friends at the shelter it’s the absolute worst place for Ducky to recover. He’s immunocompromised, he needs individual one on one care and a careful re-feeding program. Our shelter is more than full, our amazing dog warden has been a one woman show for months. She needs help and so does Ducky.This emaciated boy has a body score 1/5. He’s anemic and his kidney numbers are wonky. His ears have open wounds and scabs from what we are assuming are fly bites. Despite all this he was a perfect gentleman yesterday during his exam even during the uncomfortable pokes and prods. We know he doesn’t feel well and is low on energy due to the anemia so we won’t see his true personality for weeks but he’s a very sweet, affectionate and loving boy. We need a foster (or adoptive) home in Central or SE Ohio so Ducky can continue to receive his much needed veterinary. If you have other pets they must be vaccinated, spay/neutered and on regular prevention for flea/ticks/heartworm disease. If you can help even short term until we can make other arrangements, please apply using the link in the comments. If you’ve read this please share! The more eyes that see this the more likely we find help for Ducky boy. ... See MoreSee Less

Look at Athena being a big girl! No more bottles for her. 4 weeks old and we are breathing a sigh of relief, we believe the worst is behind her. Shes devouring a mixture of formula and canned food like it’s her job!Athena is the lone survivor in her family, none of her siblings or mother made it. She is a German Shepherd mix who has lots of sass and spunk. She’s found her voice and is learning to play.In the next several weeks we’d like to place her in a home that will forever be hers. We need a a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so Athena can receive her veterinary care at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset. Once she is old enough to be spayed the adoption will be finalized.Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, vaccinated (by a veterinarian), on regular prevention fleas/ticks/heartworm disease. To apply for Athena please click the link in the comments below. Please, please, share!! ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Ducky, he was surrendered to our humane officer as part of a humane case. He’s 8 months old and 24lbs, as you can see, seriously underweight. Sadly, flies thought his poor ears were a tasty treat. He’s a mixed breed. This is pure speculation on our parts but maybe, Lab, hound, Golden Catahoula……it’s really anyone’s guess. His feet are webbed resulting in his name Ducky. We are looking for a home (foster or adopt) that can help him recover properly. Someone that can stick to a re-feeding plan of multiple small meals throughout the day and get him to vet appointments as needed. We cover the expense of veterinary care and anything else he may need. He was left outside so we are assuming he is not housebroken, but he is young so it should not been difficult to get him on the right path. To qualify, you must live in Central or SE Ohio and can travel to one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset. Other pets in your home MUST be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on regular prevention for fleas/ticks/heartworm. To apply click the link in the comments below. Please, please share. This boy needs in a home to start his recovery. ... See MoreSee Less

Bailey is an 8 year old mixed breed senior, but is a healthy girl with a lot of life to live and plenty of love to give. She has been put in a situation that is not of her own doing. She (and her sister Nova) have been placed with an elderly family member that really isn’t capable of caring for them in the way they need. She is Housebroken and can be uncrated in the home with no problems. She is good with kids and has lived with cats. Bailey can be selective with her canine friends but has never been aggressive. She can be trusted in the yard unleashed and has great re-call. If you are looking for low maintenance, easy-peasy dog, this girls is it. Bailey had her veterinary care updated and is ready to go. To apply, click the link in the comments below. We are looking for families that value regular veterinary care and provide the very basics with current vaccines, spay/neuter, and prevention. Please share! ... See MoreSee Less
