Drifter was one of 6 pups born
to a very sweet Spaniel mix. Mom was brought in to an emergency room
because her labor was not progressing. Apparently, she had been kept
locked in the garage for a long time and was undernourished, less than a
year old and very scared. She was signed over to the hospital that
night.
The pups all did well and were finding wonderful families to adopt them once they were old enough. Drifter, the runt of the litter, sadly succumbed to Canine Parvovirus. Despite having vaccinations, puppies (and even some adults) can still catch and die from the virus which can be picked up in parks, on sidewalks and any public place where dogs have been. Please vaccinate your babies and protect them while they develop their own immunity. |
| Three adorable kittens at Animal
Control. The family stated that their cat "just kept getting
pregnant" as though that were occurring without any assistance.
Sadly these beautiful kittens were born FELV positive and because of the
large numbers of healthy kittens not finding homes, they were humanely put
to sleep when their tests were confirmed.
Hundreds of healthy kittens never find homes and even more that are injured or diagnosed with a communicable illness show up daily. Please spay or neuter your cat and keep them inside and safe! |

I'll never forget you, wise and beautiful cat, your loyalty and love will always be treasured and you will always be my strength... |
Having shared my home with dogs,
but never a cat, I wasn't ready for the arrival of the 15 year old Persian
dropped off at an adoption show. What do you do with an old cat who
has blue eyes that seem to look straight into your soul?
Husker, a huge silver Himmy, adapted to the kittens, dogs and even the boundaries his very allergic new mom set for him. We didn't know how much time he had left, but since everyone that met him had fallen in love with the stately, loving, gentle boy, we decided he had a forever home with R.A.I.N. if he would accept it. Each day at exactly 6:00pm, Husker would stroll to the front door. He would sit, looking at the small window for a long time, sometimes turning his head to meow questioningly at me "where are my family?" and we would cry together for the promise that was broken, that he never forgot. Husker went over the rainbow too soon, his kidneys, liver and even his big heart just seemed to be giving out on him. I guess this is why you will always see a little stripe-y Siamese feline in my care. I still hope to see a little glimpse of Husker smiling back in new, hopeful kitten face. |
