📽️🧟‍♂️The second in our Creature Feature lineup🧟‍♂️📽️, is a fur-raising tale 🐈‍⬛ of despair, 💔 that we’ve heard all too many times here recently. The Telltale Heart Murmur ❤️‍🩹🩺: a sweet, senior cat- declawed and left to survive in the elements, surrendered here after his caregivers were moving away and decided Buddy (Buddy the Third to us) would not be going with them. With minimal vet history beyond an absolutely botched declawing and a nearly expired Rabies vaccine, we were left to discover this sweet guy has been living with a significant heart murmur and hyperthyroidism 💔💔💔.

Already having fundraised and depleted our extra funds for Cobbler’s recent echocardiogram, we just aren’t in a position to get Buddy the Third this critical care that he so desperately needs and deserves at this time.

If you are in a position to rewrite this terrible tale and want to donate to Buddy’s echocardiogram, our Venmo remains linked on our website, or if you are interested in meeting this tender, crusty little fellow or want to know more about him or any of our special needs adoptees, please reach out!! 🙏

🧟‍♂️📽️Just in time for Halloween 🎃, we are presenting: A Double Creature Feature📽️🧟‍♂️

Two heartbreakingly horrifying, spine tingling tales of animals in need of homes 🏠👻.

For one, a cruel twist of fate has created the ultimate trick 🃏: an adoption date set for this Friday, lovely and devoted parents lined up-only for a family emergency and changing of circumstances to rob our doggy baby and his parents-to-be of their happily ever after 💔. Everyone has been left heartbroken, and we are eager to get this special guy in a home of his own- one ready to take on all the energy and love this 11-month old Yorkie mix has to give.

This captivating creature is known as Theodore, is nothing but curiosity, tenderness, playfulness, and a healthy dose of puppy rambunctiousness, wrapped up in 14lbs of silky softness (with just the slightest hint of puppy mouthiness 😈 to complete things). Theodore started here shy and unsure of everything, already having endured so much is his short life, but quickly learned to find his ‘voice’ 📣, much to the chagrin of his fellow residents (all of whom are currently cats). Theodore is a dog’s dog - and might do best in a home with another dog to show him the way 🛣️, but definitely without cats (we think) and probably without small children as he’s still very much learning boundaries himself.

What Theodore lacks in discipline, he makes up for in potential, and with the proper training- this little creature could do it all! We just know it!! 🏆 If you’re interested in turning this horror story around, and believe you can provide our first creature feature with the guidance and patience he needs more than anything, reach out to set up a time to come meet him!

A few glimpses into a Feel Good Friday full of treats 🍬🍭🍬 from a pawesome young girl celebrating her 6th birthday with donations to us 😭😭 (thank you, Leah!!!!!💖💖) + amazing UC students that came to hang out with us and some tiny new additions today🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🎃. It’s got the kittens absolutely zonked, and got us feeling that our spooky season is off to a purrfect start 😈 (even despite the fact that ‘kitten season’ has never ended and the requests for cat and kitten placement have been nonstop this week 💔💔).

🍂🍁It’s the first Feel Good Friday of Fall, and for us here at Protect 4 Paws, it seems that our summertime adoption stalemate is finally starting to shift and things are ‘falling’ 😈 into place- if you will. 🍁🍂

Please forgive us as we continue to obsess over the perfection that is Trouble and his new baby Min Pin sister, Junie B 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Just look at this happy boy and his amazing new family that traveled all the way from Pittsburgh for this special guy 💖💖💖!!!

Trouble along with our Lenny (and his emotional support stuffed bunny 🐇!) and our beautiful Bucky all went home this past week, and these magical adoptions been the perfect panacea for the heaviness we’ve felt since losing Corncob and trying to navigate the new reality of his siblings’ medical needs (Cobbler started to develop a cough right after losing Corncob, and initial x-rays showed an enlarged heart 💔, he goes in for an echocardiogram next week).

Thanks so much to all who have donated and shared to help us cover these unexpected costs (Venmo link is still in our bio if you want/are able to give🙏🙏), and thank you even more for continuing to spread the word on our pawsome shelter babies and share in the absolute joy of our wins 💖💖💖.

The only one who might have something to say about it is our Grey BB who maybe now realizes the absolute gem 💎 she had in Lenny all along 👀.

💖Trying to bring some ✨🪩🌻~whimsy~🌻🪩✨ to this grey day, and figured these should probably reside permanently on the grid for optimal ✨*~whimsymaxxing*~🪩✨.

We could never thank the amazing team at Pawpin' Pawz Luxury Mobile Grooming enough!! Zakayla is working wonders, Kristen is performing certified magic, and Parker (proud Protect 4 Paws’ pawrent and photographer extraordinaire) made it all happen!!! Our shelter babes have never looked better 💅🛁✂️!!!!!! 💖
