Lately, we have been seeing a lot of very young puppies being dumped. Before anything else, if you ever find yourself a situation of being unable to take care of a pet, please don't just toss them in a dumpster.  Plan ahead. Do research and learn  how to re-home your pet responsibly and humanely. Do whatever it takes to find someone who will give that cat/dog a home. 

Here are two of  our recent rescues - SNOOPY & LUCKY.  They are so full of life and did not deserve for their futures to be snuffed out in one careless move. 

SNOOPY was found in a dumpster. We have no idea who dumped him or what reasons they could have had to throw away such a precious puppy. ​ We asked people to help name him -- interestingly enough, Snoopy won!

LUCKY is a stray who came to us with some injuries.  We brought him to the emergency hospital to get the injuries treated. ​ Lucky's bill ran up to $1,572.  These types of emergency treatments  are where most funds are spent.

Snoopy & Lucky are much too young to be vaccinated and neutered, so we cannot take them into the Adoption Center for health & safety reasons. 

However, we have reached out to our wonderful colleagues at GRAND COMPANIONS, who are better equipped to handle younger pups. 

After their first round of shots and initial vet check, we will be handing these puppies over to them in a week. 

Thanks, Grand Companions, for helping us save these puppies!  At the end of the day, these pets get the best chance to live their best lives when we're all working together and helping out where we can.
