We are heartbroken to post that Wilmer passed away in his sleep last night. Wilmer came to us in November 2018 as a hospice dog from the county shelter. At the time we pulled him the shelter had advised us that he had only weeks to live but with heart medication he improved greatly. A few weeks ago his appetite decreased. A kidney panel showed higher BUN results which is expected from long term use of lasix. We started him on fluids and his appetite increased. He returned to the vet two days ago for a recheck and his values were much improved. We had hoped to do a dental in the next few weeks as he had a few bad teeth that the vet thought was causing him discomfort. Yesterday, he ate very well and was quite active. He died peacefully in his sleep. We will miss him dearly. He was a funny, sweet little guy and we were very fortunate to give him a home for the past year and half. Rest In Peace little Wilmy.

Wilmer visited the vet yesterday as he has not been eating well for a couple of days. His BUN is slightly elevated and he was a bit dehydrated. The vet also wants to schedule him for a second dental. We took in Wilmer from our county shelter a year and half ago. We were told he was hospice and would not live very long. Thankfully due to heart medications he has made a great turnaround. We need to raise funds for yesterday’s vet visit and for his upcoming dental which will run about $350 since special precautions will need to be taken. We expect total costs to be around $550 to $600. We always do everything we can for our hospice cases. Wilmer is still a feisty active little guy so we hope even with his heart issues he will be around for a long time. Donations may be sent to [email protected]. Thank you.

One of the community cats that we help has developed a very bad upper respiratory infection. He is hospitalized at Miami Animal clinic. We have been trying to catch him for the past week without luck until today. Teco, as we call him, has been one of our regular cats that we feed and take care of. Donations are greatly appreciated either to PayPal at [email protected] or called into vet at 786-542-6070. Thank you so much!

Leo is doing great in his new home!

03/10/2020

Happy News! Leo has been adopted. We are so happy. His new family is wonderful and he has two little fur siblings to keep him company. Have a great life Leo!

Leo has an adoption pending. Leo came to us from the Dade county shelter. He was placed in isolation as he was very shy and fearful. He has really blossomed during the past few months. He is currently in a foster to adopt home and will be adopted this weekend. His family is crazy about him. Much thanks to Deniz and her husband for fostering Leo and getting him ready to be adopted. He is an amazing dog.

Due to ongoing health issues, we are currently closed to all intake. We still have our hospice and senior animals and a few community cats that we have been helping. We cannot take in any new animals at this time. We appreciate your understanding.

Andromeda has been adopted by her foster mom Stephanie. We could not be happier for this sweet little girl. She received a dental in January which was her third dental since she came to us. She came to us with terrible teeth issues and it has taken three dentals to get her in better condition. She also finished heartworm treatment and is now negative. We have known her adopter for many years and will get lots of updates on Andi. Have a wonderful life Andi!

Due to ongoing health issues, we are behind with updates but will strive to catch up. We visited Chris today and he continues to do well. He is on 3 meds per day and does get fluid build up which our vet can easily remove. He is eating well and we could not be happier with how well he is doing. We are thankful to everyone that donated to his care. A millions thanks!

Happy New Years from all of us to all of you. Thank you for your continued support during 2019. We could not have done it without you! Please keep pets safe indoors tonight. So many lost dogs tonight due to fireworks. Have a safe and wonderful evening and a fantastic 2020!

Update on Wilmer. His BUN is slightly elevated but that is fairly common considering his heart meds. We just need to continue to monitor. He is suffering from arthritis so we are starting him on medication for that and he was a bit dehydrated and received fluids for that. He is resting now and will follow up on him tomorrow.

Wilmer is at the vet today as he has not been eating well the past few days. He has a cardiologist recheck scheduled for January 16. Today a blood test is being done and check up with our regular vet to check for kidney values. Wilmer is one of our hospice dogs with a heart condition. Donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
