Meet Chester!

Chester is a Schnauzer mix that is around 8-10 years old. He is neutered, will be microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, heartworm tested and started on flea/heartworm prevention. Chester hasn’t had the best life. He was dropped off and abandoned at our vets office lobby. He was dirty, covered in fleas and had matted fur. Since then he has been groomed, bathed and given much needed tlc. He is a sweet boy that is crate and house trained. He gets along with dogs and cats. He knows sit and lay down. He is 28 lbs. He will be ready for his forever home next week after he has his follow up with our vet. Interested adopters can apply at: https://www.scarohio.org/adoption-application

One year ago today Izzy was returned to us. Since then she has had ZERO inquires and ZERO applications. We knew that finding a home where she is the only pet would be a challenge but we aren’t giving up on her! We know her forever home is out there. Please share Izzy! She is such a great dog and deserves a home of her own.

Izzy Update!

Izzy’s biopsy came back as a grade 2 mast cell tumor. They were able to get good margins and said that the cells didn’t look to be divided as well so that’s good news! We will just have to keep an eye on her and make sure no new growths appear. She got her stitches out yesterday and was so happy! She was all smiles! Thanks again to everyone that helped with this sweet girls surgery!

Meet Bear! 🐻
He is 16 weeks old and weighs around 15 lbs. He is a German Shepard mix. He is a very sweet and playful pup. He is fine with other dogs. He will need an adopter that is patient with him as he is not 100% potty trained yet. Bear is going to be a larger size dog when he is fully grown. Bear is up to date on age appropriate vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and will be neutered. Bear's adoption fee is $350. He can go to his forever home after April 18th, 2025.

Thank you for all the well wishes on Izzy. Her surgery went well and she even had some chick-fil-a while recovering (thanks to our awesome vet techs 😉 🤫)
When we know her prognosis, we will let everyone know. Thanks again for supporting Izzy!
