****CLOSED******

We are CLOSED we will not be taking in any more dogs for the remainder of the year possibly longer depending on adoptions. Cats will be assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on what we already have, our adoptions, and finances. We understand that the need is great right now; however, we are beyond capacity and cannot take anymore physically, emotionally, or financially right now.

*If you find a lost dog please utilize the lost and found pages, if you can take it in there are resources out there to help you. There are pet food banks, clinics and vouchers for the clinics. In addition if you see or witness a dog being dumped gather as much information as you can and call the non-emergency number. Please try to reach out to the community for help and support friends, neighbors, coworkers. Us small rescues cannot keep up with the demand. I know the winter months are coming up also so if you have outside cats you are worried about you can build shelters with straw and a Styrofoam cooler.

Update: We did hip X-rays and he was able to get through them without sedation! So glad I didn't have to leave him and come back. He gets really attached to his people. His hip X-rays were not as bad as expected however it did not assess his knees but he doesn't really act like he is in pain for us and jumps around just fine. We are glad for the good news as one of the adopted Shepards unfortunately has pretty significant arthritis. I had to run out of there because we were running behind schedule and we're supposed to have a meet and greet today but the person got injured and had to cancel. 😞 If your interested in any of our dogs please reach out, fill out an application, and once approved we can schedule a meet and greet.

We got mister Cargo at the vet today. He is getting his hip X-rays to check his level of arthritis. He doesn't love it here and even with two rounds of calming meds I have a feeling they will have to sedate him to complete them. But they are going to do their best. If anyone would like to help out with his vet bill for today you can call Cam ria Veterinary Care at 814-288-8821 or Venmo/PayPal/Cashapp riversiderandr.

Cargo is still available for adoption he would do best in an only dog home however we can always set up a meet and greet he is dog selective. I will update on his X-rays once I get more information.

We have been super busy over here helping with the tiny pups that we haven't had the chance to update but we did drop another new face off at the Rusty Cat Cafe and let me tell you it is looking very much like fall in the cat room. If Halloween is your favorite holiday I wouldn't miss out on the gorgeous kitties in the cafe. Check it out yourself stop in and watch them through the window or book yourself a visit.

Project Meow is currently at the vet with two of the doggies from yesterday. She took some of the oldest ones that we were worried about. If anyone could help with donations towards the vet bills please call forest hills at 814-487-6231. I'm sure we will all make updates soon regarding the pups and who is where and who is available. If you can't donate please like and share. Thank you

Project Meow and our rescue are working together for 12-15 small dogs. We are in need of small jackets and shirt for most of them. They are all small breeds and toy if you have any gently used or can donate please reach out to one of us. If anyone can donate wet food and moist and meaty. We are also looking for foster or adopters. The same process we do with our current animals will still withstand. Everyone will be vetted prior to receiving any animal. We are not sure as it is early who is going where and we do not have pictures of them all now. You can send to project meow or to us any monetary donations. Thank you so much!

Just a note I do personally know the owner. We will not go into details at this time regarding the situation however we will not tolerate any negativity surrounding the owner. Please remember there is always more to the story than you first see. These animals are mostly very old in age with maybe half being younger.

Dropped off two new faces at the Rusty Cat Cafe today. Unfortunately two came home with me one was Winnie as she was not adjusting well to her surroundings and Mr. Pork chop we were all sad he needed to leave but he was feeling a little under the weather and wasn't acting himself. So back to his foster home to recover. But don't worry once he is back to himself he will be back right back at the cafe. Stayed tuned to see who we added they need some adjustment time but one is already loving life and the other is taking baby steps.

We are changing things up for our quarantine kitties. We bought one and it fits and works great. They can't spill the food and water. We are looking at needed 25-30 of these for those that need to be caged. If anyone can help here is the link. If you can't purchase if you can please like and share. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that stopped and said hi to us and the pups (and kitties). We met some great people and pets today and got to share some stories of our rescues. Thank you again to those who donated today. Ranger received a new harness, I was trying to find a padded collar because I noticed the one he was wearing was rubbing his little neck raw and this wonderful couple not only suggested a harness but picked out the perfect one and bought it! We are so grateful and he is definitely more comfortable. We also received a food and treat donation that you know the pups will enjoy. And of course shout out to the Ebensburg tractor supply for allowing us to set up a table and bring our crew.

Huge update for Max. We had his meet and greet earlier this week and it went great and today he went to his forever home! He was so excited to run and play with the kids. The new family has been informed of Max's previous allegations and we're not concerned and they understand he is a puppy and they also understand his breed. The kids were so excited to take him home and of course their parents too. Max also got his booster shots today before going home.

P.S. This was the first picture I got of him without his ears sticking back. 😂
