7 kittens in our care!

2- emergency vet visits for 2 of the kittens. The sweet calico will need an enucleation done as we were not able to save her eye, we were quoted upwards of $800 for this surgery.

An emergent vet appointment for 4 that became extremely ILL very quickly. Pricey meds, fluids, syringe fed and monitored around the clock.

And 1 perfect angel that was all by herself behind hobby lobby who is now treated like the queen that she is!

We couldn't have helped these babes if it wasnt for Shelby Ruozzo fostering them, getting them healthy and socializing them. Literally around the clock care!

She also has swiped her credit card a few times now because she knows our funds are limited. 😭 but she can't continue to take from her family or her animals.

Please consider donating to their care! We can use all the help we can get.

Also, if interested in adopting, please reach out to us, Shelby or Sarah Jean!

We were contacted by Struthers Police Department to see if we could assist with this sweet girl. We spoke with the owner got basic information and history and knew just who to call to take LuLu on!

The Goofy Newfy Rescue and Compassionate Paws Foundation went to assess her together.

We cant help but laugh, as we both did the same things when interacting with LuLu, asked the same questions and came to the same conclusion of her assessment!

We love working with like minded organizations!

LuLu will fit right in with them and we are glad we could assist in finding her placement.

Good luck, sweet girl! Can't wait to see you protecting your new home soon!

💔 I AM ANGRY. I AM HEARTBROKEN. I AM ABSOLUTELY SICK TO MY STOMACH.

I am currently trying to trap a dog that I strongly suspect was dumped with the help of Shelby Ruozzo.

I've posted him. I've searched lost and found pages. I've looked for someone, ANYONE, who might be missing him.

Nothing.

This dog is EMACIATED. TERRIFIED. STARVING.

WHAT ON EARTH MAKES SOMEONE THINK THIS IS OKAY?!

Some people convince themselves that dumping an animal is doing it a favor. That someone will find it. That it'll figure out how to survive.

LET ME MAKE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR.

You aren't giving that animal freedom. You're giving it fear, hunger, confusion, and potentially a death sentence.

They don't magically know how to survive! They starve. They get hit by cars. They become so terrified that even the people trying to SAVE them struggle to get close.

And here's what makes me even ANGRIER.

WHEN I FINALLY TRAP THIS DOG, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TAKE HIM TO A POUND THAT IS ALREADY FULL.

And let me be VERY clear. I love the Mahoning County Dog Warden, their employees and Friends Of Fido MCDP. The people there genuinely care, go above and beyond, and do right by their dogs.

THEY ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!

The problem is that pounds are FULL. Rescues are FULL. Foster homes are FULL.

And the animals just keep coming.

I can fly drones, set traps, monitor cameras, and spend countless hours trying to save this dog's life.

BUT I CANNOT MAGICALLY CREATE SPACE THAT DOESN'T EXIST!

The people cleaning up these situations are exhausted, overwhelmed, and running out of options. The people that care, love and advocate for these animals.

And the animals are paying the price.

I don't know this dog's story, and I cannot say for certain that he was abandoned.

But I DO know that no animal deserves to be this terrified, this hungry, or this alone.

This dog deserves a full belly, a warm bed, and someone who gives a damn.

I DON'T KNOW WHO FAILED THIS DOG, BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I DON'T DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP HIM. 💔🐾

🐾❤️ What have we been up to? So much!

And believe it or not, this video doesn't even come close to showing everything we've been doing! 🥹
