We are an organization that promotes responsible pet ownership. This includes but is not limited to:*Yearly vaccinations *Spay and Neuter*Monthly Preventatives for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease.*Pets that are not chained to a box or live in an outside kennel.*Pets that aren’t permitted to roam at will off your property wherever they want to go (it’s also illegal to allow your pet to do so).These aren’t just suggestions, they are absolute, non-negotiable expectations for our potential adopters. We know and understand not everyone agrees with this and you are welcome to scroll on by. These are pretty standard requirements for rescue organizations, we are not unique in these requests.If you meet the criteria above and live in Central or SE Ohio and would like to foster to adopt one of these darling babies, please submit an application using the link in the comments below. You must be able to utilize our veterinarian in Logan or Somerset, Ohio until all vet care is completed. These babies will be ready to leave mom on Friday and live new lives in a home of their very own. Please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Brooks, Freeman, and Dufrane were found along side the road by a Good Samaritan. I’m doubtful they busted out of anywhere, more like dumped and now on the run. They are thought to be older kittens around 6 months. All are males. They were taken to our friends at Mastersons Vet Clinic for a check up, vaccinations, and testing for feline diseases. They all came back with a clean bill of health. They are scheduled to be neutered next month and receive last vaccines. They were also treated with Revolution. They are a little timid initially but they let you pet them and pick them up with no issues. We are looking for immediate foster homes or foster to adopt home as the Good Samaritan is unable to keep. To apply click the link in comments below.One more reason why we are preaching spay/neuter. ... See MoreSee Less

Coming Soon!This story is infuriating. Honey’s mom and siblings were surrendered to us about 6 months ago but the owner wanted to keep her 🙄. Now here she is 8 months old, in heat, not one iota of veterinary care, and possibly pregnant. We will be getting her seen ASAP and scheduled for a spay immediately. She’s also in need of a grooming. She is the exact reason why we require potential adopters to provide regular veterinary care including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and regular preventives for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease. Basic. Veterinary. Care. If you haven’t done it, don’t apply. We don’t need more or the same. We will post more about Honey when we’ve had time to get to know her and give her time to decompress. She just came to us this afternoon. She’s a little unsure of what’s going on.We are going to say it one more time for those in the back. Spay/Neuter. Vaccinate. Use Preventatives. It’s not rocket science, it’s common sense. ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Lilly. She is 2.5 years old. Unfortunately her owners living situation has changed. They are living in a home where the other dog does not like Lilly and she is regularly being attacked. Lilly is the goodest girl. She loves other dogs and cats. She is housebroken and loves car rides. She does not deserve the life she is currently living. She is spayed and has an appointment for a check up and to get her vaccines updated. If you can give Lilly a peaceful life where she doesn’t have to fear for her safety please apply using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccinations and on regular prevention for fleas/ticks and heartworm.Please share, this girl needs a place to land sooner rather than later. ...
