To update everyone we had 14 dogs that were spayed/neutered on the van today there were also 14 cats that got spayed/neutered. Of those 14, two were cats that were new to the condo and the female siamese cat in the office. Due to time constraints Cowboy and Quincy the two other siamese cats in office did not get done and will have to be booked on the next available spay clinic date.
Abby one of the condo cats that was adopted out yesterday was spayed today. Amadeous the large orabge cat in the lobby was already neutered so he got his rabies vaccine now he is ready to be adopted out now.
One gentleman had a huge dog that weighted 84 lbs and was not able to be done due to the dogs weight and size. So I arranged the surgery with is vet and PCHS will reimburse him the money he paid to have it done on the van since it was a booking error. There is a weight restriction of 80 lbs on the van.
It was a very busy day. Cherish the pitbull that was so badly infested with fleas when it first arrived was adopted today. Bailey the dog who had the fatty tumor removed was reported to me adopted this weekend. Lucy who was scheduled to go to petsmart then found to be in heat is actually going to be fostered by a family that may end up adopting her.
Ms. Big Stuff has a bad ear infection so per Judith request I obtained an ointment antibiotic to treat that infection. Judith is trying to get the meds for Pinky who has a severe ear infection . I believe this is the dog in the back we are treating for hair loss. It seems the dog is responding to treatment as Judith reports it hair is coming back in.
Well if you have not been to visit the shelter lately you should. We have all sizes, breeds, colors, we have some beagle puppies, lab puppies and puppies in rescue row that are adorable.
We are filled to the brim with dogs and the the cat holding area, the cat quaratine room and the sallie port cages are filled with mutiple cats. Some are very tiny kittens.
There is an emergency rescue effort going on in Hillsville where there are over 1000 dogs that need medical care, adoptions and foster home. I was told most these dogs are lap sized dogs and I was told by the todays vet to contact almost any rescue group in the area for a specific breed as these groups will be seeking foster homes.
One of the dogs on the van today was a very small sweet yorkie brought in by Pound Pals in Radford. This little dog is looking for a good home and there will be many more small dogs very similar to him. If you would like to help with this effort please contact VA Paws, Pound Pals, or Julie Willams of Animals Control. They are looking for carriers and cages as there are over 1000 dogs that need to be removed anyone that can help transport and has a truck, van is very much needed.
We are again down to 1 inmate so if you have time during the day to help out at the shelter it would be very much appreciated.
Well it has been a VERY LONG day.
Hope you all have a great week.
Later Anita

Anita--Thanks for the update! I did not know that the Assisi van had a weight limit of 80 lbs! My Rocky barely made it by 2 lbs, and I didn't even know it!
hello: my name is jesse stewart, some might remember me as the person who feed and cared for the Food Lion cats in Fairlawn, I did this for 10 plus years, Pulaski and Radford Humane Society and Assisi helped along with the Radford Animal Hospital, things got very bad with a Food lion Manager who went all out killing the cats and kittens, then developers moved in to build Lowes, they were helpful without ever having any contacct with me, they never touched the shelters I built for the cats on their side of the fence where I had moved to protect them from Food Lion, and always marked the area with a pink ribbon to warn me they were going to plow it next, I moved the cats two adults and six kittens deep into the thick thorn bushs on the grave yard land, the grounds keeper has no problem with this, but a local land owner made it clear to me he wanted to kill all cats, this happened slowly over almost three years, the two adult cats, they were sisters were twins almost, and they cared for the six kittes even though they were not their kittens, one of the adults had been spayed by Assi, but over the years one by in the last year two died from illness and three disappeared (killed) as they would not have given up their home and food, the last cat the spayed female that cared for all the others now lives at my house as a house cat with my other five cats, so their was a happy ending for the one cat that cared for all the others. Thank You for your help, due to my own health problems I only now and then check on the shelters to make sure their still standing and leave food, but I never see a cat there, again may made it possible for me to feed and care for these cats, and it was a great experence caring for these cats, even through all the trouble, including being shot at three times, going out in all kinds of weather, walking from Radford to fairlawn when I did not have a car for weeks, but to me it was worth it-- thanks again jesse
