We are happy to report that Mama Bella received her happily ever after this week. It’s been a long time coming for this girl. From pregnant on a chain, to a home of her own. This pretty girl has landed a life that dogs dream of. It makes all the hard days so very worth it! Have the best life, Bella! ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

Typically when we get a litter of puppies the females are the first to go. This has not been the case with Mama Bella’s babies. The girls have received the least interest. We don’t get it. Puppies always garner lots of attention, not true for Fiona.Fiona is 10 weeks old and a boxer mix. This girl is well socialized as she gets to go to work with her foster at Logan Animal Clinic. Fiona is doing fabulous with her smaller furry foster siblings that are both cat and dogs. She sleeps well in her crate overnight and keeps it clean. She’s getting a good grasp of housebreaking although not perfect yet. Fiona likes her people and is considered a Velcro dog with so much love and snuggles to give. We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can continue her veterinary care at one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio.If you are interested in Fiona, please submit an application using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be fully vaccinated on regular prevention for fleas and heartworm disease along with being spayed or neutered. Regular, yearly veterinary care is an absolute requirement. If you don’t do this with your dogs, please do not apply……their mama came from a home like that, they don’t need more of the same. Please share for Fiona. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a hard one. Real hard. Nova and Bailey’s owner was facing eviction if he kept his dogs. Now they have been left in the care of an elderly family member who is unable to properly care for them. Nova and Bailey have not seen a vet since 2017-2018, they are in the process of getting them in for check ups and updated vaccines. Nova also needs spayed. They are great, calm girls. They are both housebroken, and can be trusted in the house when you leave home. It would be great if they could stay together, but it is not a requirement. We really need to find a home for these girls. They are senior girls (9 and 8)that still have some life to live. They are good with kids. They have lived with cats. Nova is fine with other dogs, Bailey can be selective of her canine friends but she’s never been aggressive. They can be trusted in the yard unleashed and they have great recall. Looking for low maintenance companions? These girls are it!We’d love a foster to adopt home while veterinary care is completed, but a temporary foster home would be wonderful too. If you can help, please submit an application using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home MUST BE fully vaccinated, spay/neutered, and on preventatives for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease. Please share!! ... See MoreSee Less
