Oh what an incredible Lucky Ducky. Another amazing pup who is defying the odds despite his horrific start to life. Ducky had a follow up today with Dr. Hern at Logan Animal Clinic. A repeat of his blood work today shows that everything is continuing to trend upward. While not “normal”, he’s certainly heading in the right direction. He’s gained 4 pounds in two weeks! All tests from MedVet were inconclusive, so it is concerning not knowing exactly what caused his rapid decline. What we do know is that he’s a fighter, and a dream of a dog. They say the dogs treated the worst are the most grateful. Ducky is the epitome of that statement. Unbelievably well behaved, excellent in his crate, housebroken, and wonderful with is furry foster siblings (cats and dogs). He is timid initially but warms up quickly. This boy was such a champ with the blood draw today. Stood perfectly still, not even a flinch! And can we talk about his dreamy eyes? Never have I seen a dog that has half blue/half hazel eyes. They are stunning! We are happy that he is doing so well. Next week he will get vaccine boosters. Thank you to everyone that has donated, shared, and prayed for Ducky. It takes a village, and ours is the very best. ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

6 weeks of Athena! What a little survivor. She is the first bottle baby our rescue has raised, this makes her extra special. Her mom and all her siblings passed shortly after they were born. Athena fought hard to not be another causality. Next week she will have her first vet visit. At that time we will be ready to place this pretty little floofball into a home of her own. Athena is a German Shepherd mix and will be a medium to large dog. Athena needs a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio. What does foster to adopt mean? It means Athena gets to come live in your home, you bond with her, start training and building your relationship with your new forever friend. She receives vet care at one of our two partner vet clinics (whichever is most convenient for you), we pay the bills. Once she is spayed, you finalize the adoption and you can then take to the vet clinic of your choice. As an applicant, you must value regular veterinary care. Athena lost her entire family because proper vet care was not provided at any stage. We will not subject her to a life of more of the same. Pets in your home absolutely must be vaccinated, spay/neutered, and preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. To apply for this little peach, use the link in the comments below. Please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Sparky is a 4 month old owner surrender. Let us just say, never buy pets as a gift. Sparky is a dream dog according to his foster. He’s doing excellent with his furry foster siblings and is very much a Velcro dog. He’s 100% a lap dog, and happiest when he’s with his person. He sleeps all night in a crate although he does protest a little at first. He’s getting the hang of potty training and going outside but he’s also used pee pads.These dogs aren’t for everyone. Pugs can have significant health/breathing issues. This needs to be a consideration into your monthly household budget in addition to the regular expenses of dog ownership.We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so Sparky can continue the needed vet care at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset. If you have other dogs in your home or had a dog previously, you must be able to provide proof of regular veterinary care. Vaccinations, spay/neutered, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention are all non-negotiable requirements for us. This is basic veterinary care. Your application will be declined if all of these veterinary care boxes aren’t checked with previous or current pets. Adoption fee is $250 and you can apply using the link in the comments below. Please share for Sparky!! ... See MoreSee Less
