💔 Sometimes rescue is filled with absolute heartbreak. Yesterday was one of those days. This little one is the sole survivor of a litter of 6. Her mama had an unplanned pregnancy and tragically passed away due to complications. Besides a difficult delivery, mama was Heartworm and Lyme positive. Despite every obstacle stacked against her, this precious puppy has fought to survive when her siblings did not make it. We are optimistic, but also realistic. This tiny girl is only a little over 60 hours old, she is fragile and not out of the woods by a long shot.We are looking for an experienced bottle feeder that can commit the next 3-4 weeks to her until she can sustain herself on solid food. While we assume that her siblings passed from lack of nutrition and temperature regulation, we can’t be certain. Athena needs to be considered a quarantine situation. We are determined to give this little girl the best shot. If you’d like to help support her care, donations, shares, and prayers are always appreciated. Together, we can make sure this little miracle has the future she deserves.This is why we will always require fosters and adopters that spay/neuter, vaccinations that are given by a veterinarian, and the use of regular preventatives. Athena and all the animals in our care are counting on us to choose responsible pet owners. The link to the foster agreement is in the comments below. ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE! Foster Secured‼️URGENT‼️Saying no, is never something you want to say but when you are a foster based rescue, it’s a sad reality. If we don’t have fosters, we can’t help. The need far out paces the resources. We live in a world where spay/neuter is not a priority and pets are disposable. Such is the story of these tiny babes. Only 3-4 weeks old and they found themselves living under a shed at the park in New Lexington. We have reason to believe there may be another sibling but we haven’t spotted it yet and mom is feral. The two kittens need our help urgently. We need an immediate foster for this brother sister duo, like yesterday! They have sore eyes and upper respiratory issues but they are as sweet and lovable as the day is long. If you can provide temporary housing until they can be adopted, please submit a foster agreement using the link in the comments below. We need homes in Central or SE Ohio that can go to our vet clinic in Logan or Somerset. Please, please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

We are happy to announce that Bess has found her new home. Her foster couldn’t bear the thought of her needing to adjust to another new home after all she’s been through. She has settled in nicely and it’s become very apparent that foster is her person. This is truly the best scenario for our girl Bess. The happiest of tales!! ... See MoreSee Less
