Shelter Update March 1-9, 2014 Whew!!

The last few weeks have been very busy at the shelter.  I didn't get a chance to update last week so here are the adoptions from March 1 and 2.  There were 11 dogs adopted which included Kennedy, Cindy, Sweetie, Murdock, Annie, Madison, Sammy, Maggie, Scout, Rudy and Malcom.  The nine kitties adopted were-Jinx, Mavis, Cash, Lex, Barney, Josie, Strawberry, Magee and Hope. 

This last weekend we had 25 adoptions!  The dogs adopted were Bridgette, Pele, JJ, Carly, Fran!, Tootsie!, Queenie, Camilla, Yoko, Paragon, Heidi, Glimmer, Victor, Bizzy, Flynn, Carly 2, Polly, Happy, Sissy, and Rocky.  The kitties were-Tara, Fabio, Sassie, Gus and Annalise. 

Trivia was great!!  It was a very fun night with 42 tables participating. Thank you to all who helped pull this off and to all the people that came to support the shelter.  We raised some much needed funds for the shelter.  As you can see below we can use it!

Nev did some amazing work pulling dogs and cats from the pound this week.  With a lot of help from people putting out pleas (thank you Lisa K2), fostering (many) and rearranging the shelter (thank you Danette, Anita, Sherry and Austin) she did not have to leave anyone behind.  It got a little hectic trying to juggle all of these animals and get them the vet care that many needed.  This is her list of what we took in this week: 

I took a 1-2 year old female short haired tabby named Nora.
(Possibly pregnant)

A 10 month old choc lab female named Amelia.  Fostered.

A probably 10 year or older red, male chow named Edwin.

A deaf, emaciated 3 year old white boxer named Leto. In foster.

Another deaf, white 2-3 year old boxer named Herc with a broken pelvis. Hit by a car. In foster. (Yes there are 2)

Yesterday from St Clair county I pulled 2 female- 5 week old lab mixes. The black
one is Salina and the brindle one is Marlene.

Also from there we got a choc and white border collie mix female named Kileen.
She's at Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital being treated for parvo.

A momma dog named Jezzy and her ten 6 week old puppies.

NOW FOR TODAY

From St Clair county I got a male, tan 10 week old shepherd/chow mix named
Rupert that has sarcoptic mange.

An 8 week old black lab mix female named Rainy.

A 2-3 year old shih tzu/ chi mix black and white female named ibby.

And a 4 year old yellow lab male named Otto. In foster.

I also pulled a 1-2 year old black mama cat with 5 babies. They are going into
foster.
I think that's all.....or at least I sure hope so. :)

Way to go guys!!!


The two deaf boxer boys.  Both came in at different times to the pound.  The one on the left, Herc, was hit by a car and has a fractured pelvis.  The one on the right, Leto, is emaciated.  

Since last week we took in quite a few animals that were sick or injured.  Some of those included: Sloan a pit pup with demodex mange, 9 shepard/husky mix pups and 5 came down with parvo (all made it!!), the two boxer boys, BB a shepard mix that was hit by a car and has a fractured pelvis-on cage rest, A pretty aussie mix with two golf ball size bladder stones that required surgery-doing well, a pup with parvo from the pound-doing well, a black and white kitty with a leg injury, a 110 pound St. Bernard with larangeal paralysis-he went into respiratory distress and died on the way to the E Clinic, and Buddy a shep mix with a injured leg that had to be amputated-in foster. 

Here is an update of the ones I posted that were sick or injured a few weeks ago.


Gave heartworm treatments to Bouzer, Clarice, Viper, Ace and Travis-all big dogs with heartworms at $3.50 a pound. All are doing well.
Had emergency surgery on Sable with a prolapsed rectum-she is doing great and gets her stitches out Monday. 
Got treatment to try to save Bart, a shihtzu, eye.  Check up today and his eye does not have to be removed.  Vision may be poor but it is healing.
