TONIGHT

Fleet Feet in Greenwood is hosting a dog walk event at Freedom Park at 6 PM tonight and has invited us to be the recipient of any items that are donated (each month will benefit a different rescue). Our items of greatest need are dog food, kitten dry food, and leashes if you want to participate and bring an item to donate!

How much chaos can an 8 week old kitten with a broken leg cause? As it turns out for our foster....quite a bit 😂 Katherine is already showing us she is sassy (as you can probably tell from the photo!)

While we were originally hopeful that Katherine may keep her leg, a more thorough exam showed her broken leg is due to an animal attack and she has some bite wounds. Due to the high risk of infection in a very small body (plus no guarantee that splinting would even work), amputation sooner than later is going to be the best option. We will call on Monday to set that up at the low cost surgery center, which is estimated around $1500.

The good news is that cats and dogs do just fine on 3 legs! She will be ready for adoption once healed.

Foster commitment still needed! We rarely get an already neutered dog! He is a very good boy and did great meeting another male dog his size!

FOSTER COMMITMENT NEEDED

www.speedwayanimalrescue.org/foster-application

This guy, who we are naming Legend since he was picked up at Legends Apartments, will need a foster if not claimed by Monday. He is neutered, but multiple scans have shown no microchip. He is approx 1 year old and 55-65 lbs.

He did well meeting another dog today (video in comments). He is a very happy and playful boy! It's hard to tell in photos, but his coat is actually a very pretty brindle coloring.

We provide all supplies, you simply provide a loving home until adopted!

We have two animals currently at the ER.

Jake started having seizures yesterday and was put in the ICU this morning for a 24 hour seizure watch. Fortunately he is doing well and has not had a seizure since starting meds.

This kitten, who we have named Katherine (after Katherine Legge) has a broken leg. Amputation is likely, but we are trying a splint first and sending her to foster with pain management.

We have had a lot going on this week! In total, we have had 7 animals show up at the Street Department.

4 went to foster
1 was reclaimed by owner
1 is being evaluated today by another rescue
1 is still on his stray hold

BamBam went to the vet and has skin and ear infections. We repeated his thyroid bloodwork to see if this may be related.

4 spays and neuters happened this week.

Jake is heading to the ER this morning due to seizure activity in the last 12 hours. We are hopeful it is related to him being in the process of weaning from Prozac.

All together, our total spent this week (so far) is $1300 with an another estimated $300 - $600 today.

DO YOU KNOW ME

Male dog picked up at Legends Apartments in Speedway last night. No microchip or tags.

The animal is currently being held at the Speedway Street Department. The Street Department is located at 1390 N. Lynhurst Dr. Bring proof of ownership and a carrier (cat) or leash (dog) to Speedway Street Department to claim your pet.

The Street Dept. is open M-F 7:30am- 4:30pm and can be reached by calling 317-246-4141, ask for Rob or Jared.

For clarification, Speedway Animal Rescue and the town of Speedway are 2 entirely separate entities.

The animal will be held by the Town of Speedway for the required Marion County 4-day stray hold. If the animal is not claimed, SAR will pull only IF an approved foster can be found. If no foster steps up then the Town of Speedway will relinquish the animal to IACS since Speedway is in Marion County and does not hold onto animals beyond their 4-day stray hold.

NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

www.speedwayanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Sparky is getting neutered today and is now available for adoption! This GORGEOUS boy is the total package. He's young, smart, and beautiful. He is 65 lbs and approximately 1.5 years old.

His foster tells us that he full of energy. He is super smart, and also cuddly. He walks well on leash and is very friendly. He is learning commands. He currently is not crated while the foster is away from work and has been very good in the house.

He doesn't get on furniture, except the outdoor couch. At night while he is allowed in bed, he prefers a blanket on the floor.

His foster tells us that while he can walk upstairs, he hasn't figured out how to walk down them yet. As one would expect with any German Shepherd, he also sheds a lot.

You can follow Sparky on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sparky_the_lost_shep?igsh=bXRkNzFvZHpucmRi

After today he will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed, and on flea prevention

In the past two weeks we have been able to find fosters for an injured cat, four pit mixes, and a German Shepherd but we can't find a foster for a bouncy black lab?!?
