🐾Feline Friday - Coming soon🐾Meet the Eenie, Meenie, Miney & Moe crew.These precious babies lost their mom at just 2 weeks old and one of our fosters stepped in to give them a chance at life. Bottle babies are never easy, but these four fighters have come such a long way. Now at 7 weeks old, they are thriving, playful and full of personality.They recently had their check-up and are all still tiny little things at just around 2 pounds each, but they are healthy, growing, and doing great.These kittens are not yet available as they still need testing and continued medical care before we can begin accepting applications for foster to adopt homes. Stay tuned for more updates on Eenie, Meenie, Miney & Moe! ... See MoreSee Less

I thought for certain this girl would be one of the first to go. Turns out she is the last. Isla is an 11 week old boxer mix. She already weighs 20lbs so expect her to be a big girl when fully grown. Isla has crate training mastered and is doing extremely well with housebreaking. She is smart and food motivated which makes training easy. Isla loves her furry foster siblings that are both dogs and cats. She absolutely adores children. Shes a big fan of toys and loves to drag them out and put them in her crate. We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can finish her veterinary care at one of our two clinics in Logan or Somerset, Oh. Other pets in your home must be fully vaccinated, spay/neutered, and on regular prevention for flea, ticks and heartworm disease. The link to apply is in the comments below. Please share!! ...

Due to no fault of her own her foster needs to find immediate placement for her. Like yesterday. Bonnie is 10 weeks old and has done very well with the small dogs and cat she is fostered with. At 10 weeks she doesn’t have it down pat but has a good understanding of potty and crate training. She loves cuddles and love and will make someone a wonderful lifetime best friend.

Yesterday was Friday the 13th and a full moon all rolled together. Except yesterday was May 12th and not a full moon. We say this all the time. Love. Is. Not. Enough. Basic veterinary care is a necessity. The picture on the left is a normal canine uterus. The picture on the right is a pyometra. A uterus filled with infection that was on the verge of killing this poor dog. This is fatal if left untreated and happens in female dogs and cats who are not spayed. We spent a good portion of our morning trying to help a family, find veterinary care for an emergency surgery. Many thanks to Logan Animal Clinic for making time where they had none and saving her life. She is not out of the woods yet, but at least now she stands a chance. Spaying and neutering your pets is one of the single most important things you can do for your furry friend. Not only does it prevent unwanted litters, it can literally save your pet’s life. More about May 12th tomorrow, but for today, please #spayneuter ... See MoreSee Less
