black and white senior dog

Shelter arrival date:  11/03/23

Name:  Blackey
Gender: Neutered Male
Size/Weight: 77 lbs.
Age: 14 years old

Medical info: Heartworm negative, multiple masses and enlarged lymph nodes, mobility 

ID#: 650517

Eligible for Rescue:  Now! 

Sponsorship: $755

Specifics: Sadly Blackey was left behind when his owner moved into assisted living, so he ended up at the shelter on 11/3. He is a senior and has lumps and bumps, missing hair on all 4 legs, and has some mobility issues. He is a little unsure of his new housing situation, but once out of his cage he is a sweet boy. Blackey needs rescue ASAP because of the multiple tumors. He also has enlarged lymph nodes, so he needs work up for possible cancer. He seems to feel pretty okay right now, but the sooner he can get further work up and care the better. The shelter environment is very hard on seniors, it can cause their health to deteriorate quickly. Please come meet him in cage 412 id# 650517 .

Name:  Shadow

ID#: 650398

Eligible for Rescue:  Now!

Specifics: Shadow is just a puppy, but already has low vision, so he will do best with a rescue group or someone with experience with visually impaired dogs. He was found, lost and wandering on 10/30. He is underweight, has demodex, and is visually impaired, so he needs some help!  His right eye is shrunken and his left eye has a blue cornea of unknown cause.  He does appear to have some vision, but in order to save it he needs to see an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) as soon as possible. He is still a mouthy puppy, so he needs some help learning better manners. He is heartworm negative. Sweet Shadow really needs rescue ASAP!!

two black labrador retrievers

Shelter arrival date:  09/16/23

Name:  Zoe
Gender: Intact Female
Size/Weight: 43 lbs.
Age: 1 years old

Medical info: Heartworm negative , heart murmur, intact

ID#: 649283 

More photos and videoPetfinder.com

Eligible for Rescue:  Now! 

Specifics:  Zoe and Chloe were surrendered by their owner 9/16 – two months ago! Their owner was having some health issues and would not be able to care for them any longer. Both are reported to be house & crate trained and good with kids. Zoe has a grade 3/6 heart murmur, so she cannot be spayed here at the shelter. Animals that cannot be altered here for whatever reason tend to have a better chance at finding their forever homes via rescue. Once rescued they can be fixed safely by an outside vet that has the necessary equipment. Zoe is just 1yr old and weighs 43lbs. Her sister Chloe is 1yr, 50lbs, and spayed. Both girls are heartworm negative. Zoe and Chloe have lived together, love to play together, but are a lot of energy together! They do NOT have to be adopted or rescued together. As much as they enjoy each other’s company they would do fine and maybe even better apart. That being said, please come rescue both! 

Name:  Chloe
Gender: Spayed Female
Size/Weight: 50 lbs.
Age: 1 years old

Medical info: Heartworm negative 

ID#: 649286
