Mavis (now Abbey) has been adopted

Abbey came to us last summer, when an area shelter reached out for help for a heartworm positive Beagle mix. Thankfully, Amber stepped up to foster, saving this little girl's life.

Abbey went through the lifesaving treatment, which is not just costly, but it could have been prevented by applying a monthly preventative. She has now been cleared.

We can't blame for Amber to fall in love with and adopting Abbey. And from looking at the pictures, Abbey fits right in and definitely is at home

Special Thanks to the vets and staff at Preston Animal Hospital.

Smiley
.. is still looking for her forever home. this XL-Bully is named after her beautiful smile. She was used as a breeding dog until she couldn't no more. She is always happy and hasn't met a stranger. She is a favorite wherever she goes, yet we haven't received a single application for her.

Medically, she had a small, low grade mast cell tumor removed, and the pathology report came back with clear margins. She recently was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, which requires lifelong, low-cost medication.

Smiley is in a foster home with other dogs and does well with all of them.

To adopt Smiley, please complete an adoption form at https:/www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication

If you can't adopt, please share.

Dubby

is still looking for his forever home. Dubby came from Shelby County, where his family ab abandoned him by tying him to the gate and leaving him there overnight.

Dubby is about 4 years old now. He does have a "bum" front leg, which does not appear to bother him or hold him back in any way. He is a very sweet dog that has not met a stranger. He gets along with other dogs.

He has been with Save One Soul for about one year now, and sadly, we have not received much interest in him (other than from the family who abandoned him in the first place).

Dubby's adoption fee is only $175. He is microchipped, neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Our adoption applications are located at https://www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication

Please share.

Meet Chloe!

If you live in the Louisville area, you may remember the recent tragic news story of an individual who was shot and killed while walking his dog.

Karen, a long time supporter reached out to us, so at least the dog could be helped. Since Karen was willing to foster, we were able to take Chloe, the 6-year-old dachshund on. We immediately realized that Chloe has gravitational issues (her belly was almost to the floor), and she could clear a room with her breath.

At Chloe's first vet visit, she was brought up-to-date on her vaccines, and as expected, our veterinarian advised us that she has advanced periodontal disease and will need to have dental procedures done. Even though Chloe had already lost a few pounds by then, our vet determined that she needed to lose at least 7 more pounds before it would be safe for her to have dental surgery. Poor Chloe is on a strict weight loss regiment, and she has a weigh-in scheduled for next week.

Keep your fingers crossed that she is making good progress.

Once Chloe will be back to health, she will be made available for adoption.

Donations with Chloe's care are appreciated and can be made via Venmo (), via PayPal ([email protected]), or via check (PO Box 353, Hillview, KY 40129).

Blair has been adopted!

Blair came to us this past winter, after she was found abandoned in the woods. She had frost bites, her coat was in bad condition, and she was very under weight.

Thanks to Paula, who was willing to foster Blair, we were able to pull Blair from the shelter and get her back to health. Paula fell in love with Blair, and ended up adopting her. We couldn't think of a better home for Blair - now Cassie.

Special thanks to Preston Animal Hospital and their expert care.

Blair

Went for a follow-up at the vet yesterday, so that she could get updated on her vaccines and more. It took all hands on deck and some sedation for to get the much needed mani/pedi. Walking is much easier for her now.

Vandi, the individual who found her in the woods, also met us at the vet. Vandi had a wonderful care package for Blair. Blair enjoyed some of the much-deserved canned food for dinner.

Welcome Blair!

Some of you may have seen the post about a dog that was abandoned in the woods. The dog was left out there in the cold and snow, and by the time she was found, she already had frost bite on her paws. In addition to the frost bite, she has some hairloss (accompanied by skin infections) and she is a bit underweight.

Thankfully, Paula stepped up to foster this 5 year old dog, and we were able to pull her. Blair went to our vet yesterday, and she is being treated for her skin conditions and the frost bite. She will have a follow-up next week.

Any donations to help with her care will be appreciated. Donors giving $30 or more will receive a free Save One Soul t-shirt.

Our Story

Save-One-Soul (SOS) is a Louisville, KY based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works towards improving the quality of life and welfare of pets in the Louisville and surrounding areas by providing veterinary care to un-owned or shelter animals that are in the most urgent need. After accepting animals into our program, we provide them with the urgent veterinary care needed to treat their condition before moving them into foster care. While in foster care, the animals get acclimated to a normal home life, and receive follow-up treatments, including routine veterinary care, thus allowing us to facilitate adoption into a loving and permanent home.

Save One Soul is an all volunteer, foster based rescue organization, dedicated to improving the health and living conditions of dogs in the Kentuckiana area.

Fosters and volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Fostering dogs is one of the most rewarding activities you can do: taking a dog that has gone through a tough time, and seeing him or her improve in terms of health and/or trust and self-confidence is truly priceless. As the foster provider, you are asked to take the foster dog to vet appointments, adoption events and other events. Save One Soul covers the veterinary expenses, food, and supplies.

Fostering is a great way of "test driving" a dog. Most likely, you will love each and every foster dog you take in, as if it was your own dog. Sometimes, the dog is a great dog, but there may be an owner out there that is better suited for the dog than you are. Other times, the dog is the perfect match for the foster family. While we cannot guarantee, we try our best to accommodate the wishes of the fosters with respect to adoption.
