Remember Penelope, the "pregnant cat" abandoned at our shelter near the end of September? After a few weeks with no changes and no kittens, Penelope was re-evaluated by our Hope Clinic team. Although she still appeared pregnant, we knew something wasn't right. Her lymph nodes were swollen and enlarged, so a biopsy procedure was performed…
On September 22, 2017 at 2:28pm, a sick boxer puppy was found abandoned in Adrian. The puppy was severely underweight, lethargic, and dehydrated. We feared the worst and immediately ran a test for parvovirus. The postive result quickly confirmed our fears. We named the puppy Natalie and promised her that we would try our best…
Around 11:00am on September 21, 2017, a kitten named Cheerio was vomiting, had severe diarrhea, and was extremely lethargic. He was showing signs of feline panleukopenia, also known as feline parvovirus, a deadly virus that quickly attacks the intestines, bone marrow, and lymph nodes.

Mulberry was found all alone in Blissfield – with no mother, no litter mates, and almost no hope. We feared the worst. Not only is this four week old kitten suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection, she's extremely underweight, covered in lice, and has a corneal ulcer due to a severe infection in her…
It is with great sadness, heavy hearts and lots of tears that we share Hedwig's final update. Hedwig had an amazing weekend at home with our clinic manager and vet tech, Erica. He made new four-legged friends, including cows and other dogs, soaked up as much sunshine as possible, and couldn't stop wagging his tail. He…
This 15-16 year old basset hound was found July 26, 2017 near Beecher/Posey Lake Hwy. in Clayton. We're calling him "Hedwig." He's in awful shape. Severely underweight, dehydrated, lethargic, infected ears and teeth, and painfully long nails (which we trimmed before we even thought of taking pictures). Our Hope Clinic team is afraid he may fall…
