Update- all set we found owner.

Community, we need your help. This dog came in early this morning. One look at him and we realized that he is the same dog who had gotten out about a week ago but did not end up coming into the shelter because it was a weekend and late at night. owner was actively looking for him and he was reunited.

Remember our sweet blind boy Pogo? He’s doing AMAZING in his foster home. The Tyler family has gone above and beyond to be extra accommodating to him. They tell us he LOVES to go for walks!

Pogo has surgery in his near future. We will need to raise funds for this, and we know our village will be there for Pogo. He deserves his second chance.

He will be ready to find his furever home after he’s all healed up.

Amidst the sadness, there are stories of hope. These stories are what keep us coming back and help us to stay strong and keep fighting.

Sweet Milo went to a foster home today. He is the absolute sweetest boy and he loves playing fetch. It has been so hard on him to be in that small kennel at the shelter all alone.

Thank you Jennifer and AJ for opening your heart and your home to make all the difference to a sweet little boy.

We want to thank the amazing humans at Shelter To Home Animal Rescue for coming to our aid THREE days in a row.

Sometimes rescue means they get another chance. Sometimes it is a gift of mercy bestowed to a poor animal who’s suffered long enough.

The sweet little kitten born with no tail with a huge amount of hardened, f***l matter, glued to him through matting gets a shot at a wonderful life. 

Sadly, an older boy who we think may have been hit by a car sometime ago, and suffered a broken jaw and has been unable to properly eat, was given the gift of mercy w guidance from the veterinarian. We can’t imagine the pain he has endured for such a long time. 😭

Thank you STH Rescue.

Run free Mr Beans. 💔🌈

Do you think Marley was happy to see his mama when she picked him up first thing this morning?

Meet JoJo. She is a sweet little grey and white pittie type girl. She was found in the city of Melvindale well over a week ago and housed by some good Samaritans, then transferred to the LP Animal Shelter to be held until we could free up a spot for her. 
We say it repeatedly, we don’t know how anyone is not looking for. Someone will be very lucky to bring her into their family.
We don’t know a whole lot about her yet since she’s so new to the shelter but what we can tell you is she is super super sweet and of course by looking at her, you know she’s a beauty queen.
