After spending several months at Erie Humane Society, Red was adopted out. Just a few months after being adopted, Red is back at the shelter 😔. He is now warming up to people much quicker. Please consider opening your home and heart to this sweet fellow!

This little one surfaced in Springfield last month. We initially thought it was a dog that had been missing from Cambridge Springs. A few people were able to capture videos of this dog, and it was clear that it needed help. Michelle Wasmund went out and got food plots and cameras set up. She and Michael Valerio then began trapping efforts. This little one was in a trapped in no time. Within a minutes of his capture, we received notification that this dog was Cash, and he was from Conneaut Ohio, and had owners. It was clear that he needed medical attention, which Michael generously offered to covered the costs. This little man was home a short while later, getting the care and love that needed!

We truly have the BEST supporters!! We would like to thank Marcia Combine, for our BRAND NEW microchip reader!! We did not have a microchip reader, and relied on local veterinarian offices and shelters, to assist us in checking stray dogs for chips. Marcia has been supporting us since day one, and routinely helps us with monitoring posts for the Mercer area dogs, canvassing Mercer County for lost dogs, and setting up food plots and cameras when needed. THANK YOU, we appreciate our new tool!!

Last month, this dog surfaced in North East. It had been running the vineyards and in a high traffic area for several days – not allowing anyone to get close. It was just devastating to see her running in the pouring rain! Super Mike (Michael Valerio) managed to squeeze time in, in between some very important appointments, to bring this gal to safety! Micheal put his drone in the air, and was able to get a solid location. After a scary standoff with a coyote, she made her way to the trap. Renee kept her company, until she could be transported to the ANNA Shelter. She was quickly adopted out, and now living her best life!! 🫶🏻🐾💗
