🐾 Who rescued who? ❤️

Sometimes the animal we welcome into our home becomes the comfort we didn’t know we needed. A wagging tail after a hard day. A quiet purr beside us. A little personality that makes us laugh when we need it most.

Today, we’d love to hear about the animal who changed YOUR life.

Share a photo and tell us your story in the comments. Whether they’re beside you today or forever in your heart, we’d love to meet them. 💙

Rabbit 🐰 update:
Rocky is starting to put on some weight! His 💩 are bigger and better shaped. It's amazing what a proper diet can do.
He is also starting to show his personality. He's become a jumper and escapes his exercise pen regularly. He enjoys attention and pets but isn't quite ready to be held.

Update on the cat shot in Manheim:

He has been named Swirley. He is at the office with us. His little body has quite a bit of healing to do. He will need lots of rest, love, and support. Our staff will be monitoring his condition throughout the days to come.

If you would like to donate towards his care click the links below! We appreciate your support 💙

Baby Binx is outgrowing the single handed hold. 🥹 He isn't quite old enough to go to a new home yet but if you are a black cat enthusiast, we do have a few others available!

The unowned animals in our communities are just as vulnerable as some of the human population. Who will be there to help them when a disaster strikes? Our mission is to help the sick and injured get the care they need and deserve. This includes injuries caused by disasters.

We will have a stand at this event. Come out and visit us to learn what all we can do to help our most vulnerable community animals. Get to know some of the other resources out there to help you, your family, and your pets get prepared!

This was certainly an unusual weekend! It has been a few months since we took in an animal smaller than a cat.

These 2 came in just a few hours apart. The guinea pig is suffering from a severe UTI with bleeding and foot issues from severely overgrown nails. The rabbit is very congested, has overgrown teeth that prevents proper eating, and is covered in flea bites.

Both of their conditions are still precarious and will likely require follow up veterinary care.

Petunia the piggy and Rocky the rabbit could use all the support they can get! They would benefit greatly from proper pellet food, healthy snacks, and chew toys. Our stock on small animal supplies is low at the moment. Donations would be greatly appreciated!!

Supplies needed:
Oxbow or mazzuri guinea pig and rabbit pellets
Orchard grass (a volunteer is providing Timothy)
Grocery store gift cards to get fresh veggies and greens
Timothy and wood chews
Oxbow Digestive treats
Timothy based treats
Applewood sticks
Wooden toys to chew
Aspen or paper (pine and cedar are toxic) bedding/litter
Amazon and Chewy gift cards

Monetary donations can be made on our website.
