Everyone meet Zeus!! Zeus is partially blind (he can see only about 6 inches away with his left eye. His right eye is fully blind.) and fully deaf. He just turned 1-year-old on August 13th. He had lived outside, in an unfenced-in yard, for his entire life. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car when he wandered into the road. His former owner has cancer, and while she was sad to surrender him, she knew that it was what was best for both him and her. Zeus is neutered, UTD on shots, and has undergone training with Training Through Teamwork. Zeus will have lifetime training, thanks to Corey from Training Through Teamwork. It's not that he misbehaves, no, it's that Corey loves Zeus and is so proud to see what he's accomplished. He's come a long way! Zeus is a beautiful dog who just LOVES to hang out with dogs or humans. He is a velcro dog for sure! ;-) He loves everyone. He likes to follow you around the house, and if he loses sight of you, he will lay down wherever he is and wait for you to find him. He is enjoying living inside and loves the fenced-in yard so he can run. Zeus loves soft blankets and will often drag around a blankie with him. If you are on the couch, he's right there with you, with his head in your lap and snoring. He loves walks and loves his group classes. He also rarely barks. Really the only time he barks is if he is put into a crate. Then he barks and barks, and barks. Corey, his trainer, shared these videos of Zeus during his training so feel free to check Zeus out! :-) https://fb.watch/96KZY7bya_/ https://fb.watch/96K-lW_mf4/ https://fb.watch/96KXpGEsxT/ Zeus comes with lifetime training from Training Through Teamwork. https://www.instagram.com/p/CV891xZpmwz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Medical Case #4 we are getting on Monday! This is an orange Tabby that was brought in the AC as a stray. He has had BOTH of his front legs broken in what appears to be intentional cruelty. We are currently speaking to a surgeon to examine him and see if anything can be done to help him. He does not appear to be in any pain on exam and is walking on his legs. It is unknown how old these injuries are. We will do all we can to help this sweet boy have a better life. More to come on him We will keep everyone posted on his care. https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6ho2HJxbp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today we took in three major Medical Cases from Animal Control. This is the Second of the three! Meet Cassie! Caasie is a 5 year old girl who was surrendered to the shelter by her owner. Supposedly Cassie's tail had gotten shut in a door accidentally. Medical treatment was not given to Cassie at the time of the injury which resulted in most of her tail rotting and falling off. This little angel is around 18 pounds. Yesterday, the Animal Control vet spayed her and finished amputating the injured part of Cassie's tail. Cassie will need follow up vet care and her sutures removed in about 10-14 days and will then be ready for her forever home.
