Special Need Dogs

Listed below are our current special need dogs. If you would like to adopt any of our special need dogs please visit our Adoption process page when you are ready.

 

 

Tess

Tess is a darling, sweet black lab mix, on the smaller side.  She is a slightly older girl (6 to 8 years we are estimating) who loves people and is just fine with other dogs and cats.  Tess was rescued from the Licking County shelter in July, 2010.  She has "dry eye syndrome" which means she will be in need of prescription eye drops for the rest of her life.  This costs about $35 a month and we are in need of donations to cover this cost.  Tess also will need surgery to remove several skin tags however the cost of this surgery is unknown right now.  Any donations to help this wonderful girl are much appreciated.  Tess is in a great foster home and is looking for her forever home!!

 

Maggie

Maggie is a gorgeous cream colored white shepherd.  Maggie tested positive for heartworm disease and has just started her treatment.  Heartworm disease is very preventable with use of a proper preventive purchased from a vet.  Heartworm disease is caused by a mosquito bite.  Preventive inhibits the growth of resulting worms or their eggs in the dog's heart.  This is a deadly disease and requires very painful and expensive treatment.  We are in need of $300 in donations to cover the remainder of Maggie's treatment.  Maggie is in need of a forever home, too.

Emmi is a stunning black lab/black shepherd mix, no more than two years old, if that.  She is housebroken, crate-trained and gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats.  Her foster mom says she is perfect and her best friend in the foster home is "Laney", also available for adoption.  Emmi, like Maggie, also had heartworm disease and we are in need of donations to offset the cost of her heartworm treatment as well ($300).   Emmi is also in need of her forever home.  Please consider her as an addition to your family!
