Rhea had surgery today to remove a growth from one of the toes on her right-front paw. The growth appeared two weeks ago and continued to grow, so her doctor recommended removing it and sending it to the lab for pathology.

It’s important for us to know what type of tumor we remove because they can be benign or malignant. Malignant tumors have potential to metastasize to other parts of the body.

For now, Rhea is recovering from surgery and we are keeping our hopes up for good news! 🐾

We will update everyone as soon as we receive her results. 🫶

Our sweet little Phoenix gained his wings last night.❤️ After surviving the house fire, he showed resilience and fought so hard. Despite all our efforts his little body couldn’t overcome his injuries.

We are heartbroken, but so grateful he was surrounded by love every step of the way. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared his story, prayed, and supported him. Your kindness and support gave him a chance. Donations for Phoenix’s care are no longer needed.

Rest in peace Phoenix. You were deeply loved and will never be forgotten. 🌈🐾

🔥Phoenix survived the West Valley fire and needs our help.❤️‍🩹

This brave boy was found walking through a good Samaritan's yard near Stone Rd., searching for help after the fire. Thanks to his finder, he's now in treatment and on the road to recovery.
He's still purring and trilling, and he'd love all the gentle pets you can give although being picked up is still a little too much for him right now, which we completely understand.

If you're able to donate toward his medical care, it would mean the world to him and everyone helping him heal. Every little bit helps cover his treatment, meds, and recovery supplies. To donate, give us a call at 509-453-7161, or stop by our office in person. 🙏

It's the season for cheatgrass and foxtails! Their seeds can attach and burrow into the skin, ears, eyes, or even be inhaled into the nasal passages or lungs, causing severe infections, abscesses, and other health issues.
