Board Of Animal Health Kennel License We are dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats left homeless for whatever reason – focusing on the ones with major medical issues or of senior age. These are the ones that are usually overloo

ked because they are not “highly adoptable.” They are also the ones that cost the most to the organizations. We believe they are the most in need of help! We place dogs and cats in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog or cat into their homes and lives. Taking in major medical cases and senior animals means that they will likely have more care needed life long. We make sure that they are placed in homes that are able to financially and physically care for them long term. Animals in our care are all spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs and cats in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs and cats in the greatest need take priority. We have partnered with some of the best and the brightest in the Veterinary Medical field and we are committed to giving every animal in our care the best chance at a happy forever. We do not shy away from unconventional routes and are always looking for ways to push forward the medical advances for animals. From fish skin grafts on trauma cases, to prosthetics for amputees, to FIP treatments that save lives as never before, we will make sure every option is exhausted for our major medical cases. Many animals that would have immediately been euthanized in the shelter, now have a chance to live and thrive with their varied medical conditions. We never euthanize animals due to space or time constraints, but we may elect to euthanize in the event of a severe, untreatable/debilitating illness or extremely dangerous behavioral concerns. Because we do not kill to make space, however, we cannot take in every animal that needs help. Current adoptable pets can be found on our website as well as our Petfinder link https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?query_id=A4F0C158-715A-11E7-8DF1-83FBF62E21C6&page_number=0

Copito, which translates to “little Snowflake” in Spanish, is a strikingly handsome, all-white male with beautiful chartreuse-green eyes.

At two-years-old this sweet Romeo-esque is wonderfully outgoing, adventurous and loves being around people. Copito is also a total snuggle bug—he absolutely adores affection and will happily curl up in your lap, lean in for chin scratches, and shower you with love-he loves to give nose boops to his people!

Copito is well-behaved, loving and easygoing, making him a joy to have in the home. He strikes the perfect balance between calm affectionate companion and playful entertainer—whether he’s chasing toys, bird watching out the window or relaxing by your side, he’s always happiest when he’s with you.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and incredibly loving companion, Copito is ready to melt your heart and become your forever friend.

Meet the "RPAW STAFF" Litter!
These little tots are named after some of the staff at the Wellness Center and funny enough they match their looks and personality spot on!

Leah is the long haired Grey and White female. She came in with a bad eye ulcer that has since healed. She loves to run and play but is a little on the shy side.

Stevie is the short haired Grey and White male. This guy is the character of the bunch. Always getting into "trouble" and being the first to investigate. He is the most playful and courageous of the bunch.

Alyssa is the short haired Black and White female. She has the most sass. We like to think she is the leader of the litter.

Shelby is the long haired Tabby female. This girl is sweet, shy and has the most beautiful hair.

These kittens came from a feral colony in Inver Grove Heights. Their parents and other relatives have been altered and these guys are ready to find their forever homes.

Their adoption fee is $300/each

Shrimp is on the lookout for his forever home!

He is a super social boy who loves all people, kids & other cats. I suspect he would also be great with dogs. He loves to follow you around and continuously rub his little body on your legs for attention.

He’s addicted to feathers & the long worms with bells. He will proudly bring you one to share his hunt with you.

He will play until he’s exhausted, then turn into a limp noodle that just wants to cuddle.

Meet Rhonda!

We know what you're thinking: "My goodness, where did she get those luxurious rolls?"

Well, Rhonda was once the beloved companion of a very loving owner who sadly passed away. Somewhere along the way, love may have been expressed through a few extra snacks. And by a few, we mean enough snacks to keep a small village happy.

As a result, Rhonda is currently participating in her own personal wellness journey. She's not exactly counting calories, but let's just say she's become familiar with the concept of portion control.

When it comes to personality, Rhonda is what we affectionately call the Chief of the Chaos Police Department. If the zoomies get out of hand or things become a little too rowdy, Rhonda is ready to issue citations immediately. Disorderly conduct? Ticket. Excessive silliness? Ticket. Running through the house at top speed? Straight to ticket jail.

Because of her dedication to law and order, Rhonda would love a quieter home where she can relax and keep the peace. She does like to announce suspicious activity—which includes unfamiliar people, strange noises, leaves behaving oddly, and occasionally things only Rhonda can detect—so a home without shared walls is probably best.

Rhonda gets along with other dogs, but she prefers fellow citizens who also respect the rules and maintain a calm demeanor. Party animals need not apply. She hasn't been tested with cats, so their compliance with local ordinances remains unknown.

At the end of the day, Rhonda isn't asking for much. Just a comfy place to nap, a family to love, and a neighborhood where everyone follows the rules. If you're looking for a sweet, slightly squishy, badge-carrying enforcer of peace and quiet, Rhonda is ready to report for duty.

Words...
Words are hard to come by with these situations are presented. We don't know her history or her story. We don't know how she lived, where she came from, how she was treated or how she ended up here.
What we do know is she is a skeleton of a Cane Corso at 58 # which is almost half of what she should be. She has chronic issues with her eyes including "Cherry Eye" and dry eye. Her nails were double the length they should be. Most importantly, she had a basketball sized mammary mass hanging from her abdomen, almost dragging on the ground that had ulcerated and broke open.

This dog lived somewhere for sometime... she is likely around 8 years old. She was likely bred. She likely never had much if any vet care. She ended up as another unclaimed stray at animal control. Due to her medical conditions and needs, the likelihood she would find anyone to take her was slim. The impound facilities are not meant for longterm placement, nor are they the place for longterm care. She was scheduled for euthanasia yesterday.

We knew that even if she had terminal cancer, this is not how her story should end. She deserved to be spoiled and loved no matter what she went through. So we took her today! We removed the mass and whatever the results show, she will have an ending outside of impound and she will know that her life mattered.

Her name is now Gertie and she would love to feel the love! So please drop a comment velow that we will share with her ❤️

You can help us take care of her medical bills by raising $500.
