An incredibly thoughtful gift I received today that I will always treasure ❤️. You know who you are. You're more than a customer, you're family. Thank you for the wonderful memory!

This was one of my favorite camping trips with my girl and boy did she love to give "kisses". 😊 😢

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our sweet girl, Bella, a loyal and loving companion who filled our lives with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. ❤️

She had a personality that was all her own. She loved drinking from the bathtub faucet, chasing a Frisbee, camping, traveling and could never resist the joy of a fresh tennis ball. Long car rides brought her happiness, and she always knew how to sweet-talk her way into an ice cream treat. In the winter, she believed that snowflakes were ice cream falling from the sky—each one a small miracle just for her.

More than anything, she was our constant companion. She didn’t realize she was a dog—she was family, through and through. She greeted family and each guest with her trademark smile, instantly making them feel welcome. Her gentle spirit, unwavering loyalty, and boundless affection will be remembered forever.

She is already sorely missed, but the pawprints she left on our hearts will remain for a lifetime.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Elisha Perrin and staff at Warrick Veterinary Clinics for their extraordinary care and compassion. From the happiest moments of puppyhood to the tender care in her final days, Dr. Perrin’s kindness, patience, and dedication gave us comfort and gave our girl the best possible life. We are so grateful for the gentle guidance, support, and love she showed—not just to her, but to us as well.

We are closed today while we give Bella supportive care in hopes she will get well soon!

She is under the close care of Warrick Veterinary Clinic. We are so very thankful for Dr. Elisha Perrin and the care she is giving Bella.

Spay and Neuter your pets.

This beautiful girl is Gabby-Jo, and with her mother’s permission, we want to share her heartbreaking story in the hope that no other pet parent experiences this tragedy.

Gabby-Jo was brought to us in critical condition, suffering from Pyometra, a bacterial infection of the uterus. Our team immediately provided intensive care, but the infection had progressed too far, and it was too late to save her from the toxic effects of the bacteria. Her passing is a devastating reminder of how quickly this silent threat can take hold. If you have an unspayed female dog, please take a moment to learn more about preventing Pyometra, in honor of Gabby-Jo.

What is Pyometra?
Pyometra is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the uterus that affects unspayed female dogs, usually a few weeks after a heat cycle. The infection can lead to rapid toxicity and organ failure.

What Do I Look For?
Early detection is crucial, but symptoms can be subtle at first. If your unspayed female dog exhibits any of the following signs, especially a few weeks after a heat cycle, seek veterinary attention immediately:
• Vaginal discharge (pus may be bloody or mucus-like)
• Fever
• Increased thirst and urination
• Lethargy or weakness
• Decreased appetite or refusal to eat
• Swollen abdomen
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Excessive licking of the v***a

What Can Pet Parents Do?
The most effective way to prevent Pyometra is to spay your female dog. Spaying removes the uterus and ovaries, eliminating the possibility of this infection entirely. It's a routine procedure that offers numerous health and behavioral benefits. Visit our website (bgshelterpets.com/25) to learn more about the benefits and how you can book your dog's spay for as low as $25 at the Hotaling Spay Neuter Clinic.

Gabby-Jo's story is a heartbreaking testament to the dangers of Pyometra. Please, if you have an unspayed female pet, talk to your veterinarian about spaying. Be vigilant for any changes in their health and seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect anything is wrong. Our hearts go out to Gabby-Jo's family, and we hope her story can help save other beloved pets.

We’d like to introduce you to Dusa, a sweet 2.5-year-old Great Dane who is looking for a loving forever home. Dusa is up to date on all of her vaccinations, has been spayed, and is full of affection. She absolutely loves attention and, as you can see from the photos, she gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She would make a wonderful companion for the right family. PM for more info.
