Tuesday at the shelter

I went in today to finish worming and putting front line on dogs going to Rescue Thursday morning. I got that done and took Rocky in for his appointment for skin scraping.

Rocky does have (big word) that I can't remember but I put it all on his kennel card. This is not contagious. I also put the information on the bag on his cage. Please feel free to read it. He has been started on an antibiotic and I will go in tomorrow to give him a bath and start his dip bath.
The vet stated his cage must be kept dry. He also needs extra feeding he is a bit thin for his breed. He is younger then 6 months. He was on his perfect behavior today. Heis such a sweet puppy but vet says he is going to be a big dog due to his paws.

Mommy and puppies in quarantine were treated with capstar yesterday but I did not see the kennel card. So please don't repeat treatment. Check to make sure puppies have a low water bowl as they can not reach the bucket. Momma needs extra food and baby pups need the canned puppy food with water added. You have to separate when feeding or mom eats the food. It has to be the really ground up puppy food. I explained all this to Will. So just check and make sure he did this. If not ask him if you can do it. Mom can also get a can of food or just extra kibble.

There are 3 tiny kittens in back holding area. They need Kitten replacement milk twice a day.
I showed Will and he knows but he may not know where the cans of milk replacement are. I am going to stop by store tomorrow and pick up canned food and milk for the holding area.

Sue the Beagle can't go to rescue this trip she is in heat, Ginger was in foster so she missed getting tested, Elliot was a bit food aggressive he did not bite but he stiffens up when you approach bowl so there were some concerns. Spot did not get tested. Justin needs to have his leg amputated and we are going to have to ask for donations to cover the cost. Then he will have to recuperate and he will need to be fostered. He can go to rescue as soon as he recovers. He passed Safer Test with an A. He will make someone a wonderful pet. Laura will ask to have all these dogs transfered to us and we will place in Rescue row till they are able to go to next rescue
Oct. 30th.

Hopeful news- We have an application on the desk for Precious. I am hoping Keely can get that checked out tomorrow so Precious can go to his forever home. The person was advised that he does get along with other dogs and that he does not care for C.A.T.S.

Well some great news but for some of us tearful. Dot, the last of his litter, went to his forever home today. I am so glad I was there both Susan and I got to say goodbye. He jumped into Susan's arms and gave her a big Kitty hug. And he snuggled ever so close to me as if to say thank you. He is going to a home with 2 other cats. We asked the new owner to add him to our successful stories. What a truly loving and sweet kitten he certainly deserves the best.
Now we have some room to add some more kittens to the condo ,I hope, we have some cuties in the back.

A volunteer was in and walked all the dogs before it started raining. Sure hope this volunteer will continue to stay involved.

Julie was out of business cards but she has some now so if you have to give an AC card she has hers in the little holder by her window.

Don't forget to get your volunteer hours into Keely for October.

Joanne was in getting info for tomorrow spay clinic and she picked up the boxes of items sent to us by Keely's friend who has pet boutique. They will be for sale at the Newbern Festival so stop by our booth Saturday and pick up some cute items to dress up your precious baby.

We are accepting bags of candy for the Treat Trail Oct 31st. Becky and I will be out there passing out candy and information. Just drop off in the office.

Thanks folks for all your hard work.

Have a great week.
