💙🐾 Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 💙🐾

This year’s theme is “Credentialed Veterinary Technicians: Endless Compassion, Expert Care; Celebrating the Soul of Veterinary Medicine.” We think that captures the heart of ourwhole patient care team beautifully!

Our patient care staff wear many hats every single day. They are:
🐶 Animal Nurses: comforting frightened patients, checking vital signs, and providing attentive care throughout recovery.
💉 Anesthesia Experts — carefully monitoring patients and keeping them safe and comfortable during surgical procedures.
🩺 Diagnostic Detectives — running lab work, taking radiographs, and gathering the information our doctors need to make informed decisions.
😻 Client Educators & Advocates — helping pet owners understand their pets’ care, answering questions, and offering reassurance when it’s needed most.

But their most important skill? Caring deeply. ❤️

From the smallest details to the most challenging cases, our patient care team shows up with compassion, knowledge, patience, and a whole lot of heart. They advocate for patients who can’t speak for themselves and make a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them.

Please join us in celebrating our incredible patient care team this Veterinary Technician Week! We are so grateful for everything they do for our patients, our clients, and each other. 🐾
Help us celebrate! Leave a little love for the veterinary professionals who make a difference every day.

It's Shelter Sunday - our weekly post that highlights one cat and one dog up for adoption at Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility!

🐕 What the shelter says about Prince Charming:

Prince Charming is looking for a very special adopter who is willing to help him continue building confidence and reinforcing his training. This handsome young guy has a little bit of "stranger danger" at first, but with patient introductions, slow movements, and a little time, he quickly warms up and becomes your best friend. 🥰
🐾 About Prince Charming • Estimated to be just under 1 year old 🎂 • Smart, eager to learn, and highly trainable 🧠 • Energetic and playful, but settles down nicely ❤️ • Housebroken and keeps his kennel clean ✨ • Loves his people once he knows he's safe 🤗 • 🎾 BALL IS LIFE 🎾
🏡 His Ideal Home • Securely fenced yard preferred 🌳 • Adopter committed to continued training and socialization 📚 • No young children due to his excitement level ⚠️ 🐶
💕 Why We Love Him • Extremely intelligent • Wants to please • Affectionate and loyal • Thrives on positive attention • Has all the potential to become an amazing companion
🐱 Cats: Unknown
📍 Prince Charming was found on Winterville Road in Bloxom. Based on how clean and well-mannered he was when he arrived, staff believe he was likely someone's house dog at one point. Sadly, no one ever came looking for him. 💔
⚠️ Important Adoption Information • Prince Charming is not neutered at this time. • He cannot cross state lines. • Adoption must remain within the facility's jurisdiction (up to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Maryland state line). • Neuter options may be discussed with the right adopter.
🥺 Kennel life is not meant for this boy. He needs a family willing to see past his nervous first impression and give him the opportunity to become the dog he's meant to be.

🐈 What the shelter says about Teddy Bear:

🧸 **Why he's called Teddy Bear:**
• Those HUGE, soulful eyes that seem way too big for his little face 👀✨
• His soft, fluffy fur that's made for cuddling 🤎
• His sweet, gentle personality 🥰
• His love of snuggling with people 💕
• The fact that he's basically a living stuffed animal! 🐻

🐾 Gets along great with other cats
🐾 Quiet and easygoing
🐾 Loves affection and attention
🐾 Sweet, gentle nature
🐾 Ready to find a family of his own

Teddy Bear is still a little shy, but we know there's a happy, playful kitten waiting to blossom in a loving home. Right now, he'd much rather curl up close and soak up all the cuddles he can get. ❤️

🏡 This little teddy bear doesn't belong in a shelter.
💖 He belongs on someone's couch.
💖 Someone's lap.
💖 Someone's heart.

Could that someone be you?

📱 **Text or call the Shelter Manager at 757-709-8103** if you are interested in meeting Prince Charming or Teddy Bear!

It's SHELTER SUNDAY! Let's highlight some adorable, adoptable faces from Eastern Shore Regional Animal Control Facility.

What the shelter says about Baby Red:
At just **10 months old**, Baby Red is still very much a puppy and has a lifetime of love, adventures, and tail wags ahead of him! 🐶
✨ **About Baby Red:**
• 🐾 Estimated to be 10 months old
• 🐕 Loves other dogs and enjoys having canine friends
• 🐱 Cat compatibility is currently unknown
• 🍽️ Must be fed separately from other dogs during mealtimes
• ❤️ Sweet, friendly, and full of love
💔 Baby Red came to the facility **severely emaciated**, and staff are still carefully working through his refeeding plan to help him gain weight safely and steadily. Despite his rough start, this resilient boy has remained loving, happy, and eager for attention.
🌟 Every day he gets a little stronger, a little healthier, and a little closer to the life he deserves.
🏡 Now all he needs is a family willing to give him the fresh start he's been waiting for.
📍 Come meet Baby Red and see why everyone is falling in love with this adorable young pup! 🐾❤️

What the shelter says about Oracle:
🐾 Meet Oracle! 🐾
Can you believe this handsome boy is still waiting for his forever home? ❤️
Oracle is a gorgeous 6-month-old tabby male who is thriving in foster care and ready to find a family of his very own!
✨ Litter box trained
✨ FIV/FeLV negative
✨ Loves other cats
✨ Rabies vaccinated
✨ Friendly, sweet, and well-socialized
Oracle has been doing wonderfully in foster care, showing just how lovable and easygoing he is. He's got the looks, the personality, and all the charm you could ask for in a feline companion.
🏡 If you've been thinking about adding a kitten to your family, don't let Oracle pass you by. He may be the perfect match you've been waiting for!
