💞 Thank you everyone 💞because of your continued support NO Animal in our care is EVER denied medical care for financial reasons 💞💞 You saved this little one's life ❤️. . GREAT work Bay State Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Services 💞 and Providence Animal Control Center

When Andrea Rubi was found in Providence, she required urgent medical care. She arrived at Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services with multiple puncture wounds, scratches, bruising, and a laceration to her left elbow. She was also running a high fever.

Our Emergency team quickly got to work. Diagnostic testing showed that her kidney and liver values were normal, and X-rays did not reveal any fractures or dislocations. Andrea Rubi was admitted to the hospital for IV pain management, fluids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, close monitoring, and supportive care.

Under anesthesia, Dr. Nelson carefully clipped, cleaned, flushed, and surgically repaired two of her larger wounds. A smaller puncture wound was left open to allow for proper drainage, and her rabies vaccine was boosted as part of her treatment plan.

Thanks to the dedicated care of our team, Andrea's fever resolved, her comfort improved, and she was soon ready to be discharged from our care.

We are incredibly grateful to Providence Animal Control Center for bringing this sweet girl to us and ensuring she received the medical attention she needed. Thank you for entrusting us with her care. We are so happy to have been part of Andrea Rubi's journey toward recovery. 💙

Yea !!!!!!!!

East Providence legislator, Rep. Matthew Dawson, sponsored the House version of a bill that would empower animal control officers to take immediate control of animals they find abandoned, neglected, injured or otherwise cruelly mistreated.

Great to know 💞

Sunflowers do not just turn toward the light.

They can pull poison from the dirt and still look almost rude about how cheerful they are.

The real detail is how quietly practical that beauty becomes.

Through phytoremediation, sunflower roots can absorb heavy metals like lead and arsenic, and they have been studied near contaminated nuclear sites for radioactive elements such as cesium and strontium.

That does not make them magic. The toxins do not vanish. They move into the plant, which means the cleanup still has to be handled carefully.

But while the roots do the ugly work underground, the bright heads above keep serving the living world, offering nectar and pollen to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators passing through.

One plant holding two jobs at once: repair below, invitation above.

A flower doing the dirty work beautifully.

Today, we're shining the spotlight on the Providence Animal Control Center and a few of the wonderful dogs currently waiting for homes. ❤️

Meet Prince Blue, Bandz, Cash, Luna, Shep, Rocko, Scarlett, and Sylvester—eight deserving dogs who are ready to leave shelter life behind and start their next chapter with a family of their own.

These pups may have different stories, but they all have something in common: they're sweet, well-mannered, loving dogs who deserve a chance to be someone's best friend.

🏡 And now is the perfect time to adopt!
