PENDING ADOPTION:The continuation of our May 12th mayhem brings us to this sweet girl. After 4 months with her adopter, Phoenix was returned to us this week due to no fault of her own. Some people misjudge the time and commitment a puppy takes. It turns out it was really in her best interest to come back. While challenging for us, it is for the best. Phoenix is from the NYE litter. She was 2 weeks old when she, along with her siblings and mama Bess were put outside in the middle of December with nothing more than a cardboard box for shelter. Phoenix we learned has not been housebroken, however she has made great strides in the few days with our foster. She loves toys, loves to be scooped up and held so she can snuggle in to you. She is remarkably calm and quiet for a dog of her age (6 months). Phoenix is adorably gangly and is learning new things like navigating steps. This sweet girl is fully vetted and can go anywhere. To apply for Phoenix click the link in the comments below. If you have other pets in your home or had pets in the past we are looking for owners that keep their pets up to date on vaccines, use regular preventatives for fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease, along with spaying and neutering. Basic veterinary care isn’t a nicety, it’s a necessity and an absolute requirement for adoption. Some of her siblings had DNA testing, a photo of those results are also included with the photos. Please share so we can find Phoenix the home she so richly deserves! ... See MoreSee Less

🐾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

PENDING ADOPTION!!!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.
