Adoptions – it was an awesome week to be with us if you were a CPR dog for we had some especially awesome adopters come to visit and find their forever friend.
Special thanks to all of our adopters who came and found their forever friends. Several old friends found their forever families and many of our new dogs also found homes. Nugget and Frankie were both adopted direct from our Raleigh group which is getting more and more active. Thanks to foster moms Debi and Jennifer!
We’ve added several more adoption counselors and Aunt Sherry is working hard to train people. The more dedicated volunteers we have screening applications, the better.

Health front
We have three little pups in vet clinics for long term issues right now. Max, a senior cocker spaniel, had recurring ear infections so badly that one of his ears was amputated and the ear canal closed. Max is not responding well to oral antibiotics so he’s staying so he can get intravenous injections and several deep cleanings, under sedation, when needed.
Fresca is a senior poodle mix who was turned in to the Abbeville shelter when her owner passed away. Our vets are not sure exactly why she has chronic congestion and it is most likely an ongoing condition. A bit of the mucus from her lungs was sent off for tissue testing at the end of last week to see which antibiotics will be the most effective against the infection. Her temperature is back to normal after spiking to over 105. Please say a prayer for this sweet little girl.
Last but not least – Basillio, a silver miniature poodle is in the hospital as of today. We don’t know what is wrong. He is lethargic, losing weight, and he’s a happy and healthy puppy. Please say some prayers this precious 2 year old boy will get better.
Tiberius
Other health news – Tiberius standard, Sam standard, Aailyah toy, and Wilma the hound all went in for rechecks on Thursday. Everyone is slowly getting better so it was all good news. Tiberus’s eye infection is clearing. Sam has hip dysplasia which is being evaluated now to see which the best course of actions is. Aailyah’s eyes are still not where they need to be and this precious baby is blind but functioning well. The pressure from her glaucoma is reducing so at least she is not in pain at the moment. Wilma, who had a bad hematoma in her ear, is healing well.
Katie
Some of our senior went in including Katie, a red toy and Rocky, a black toy. Katie is in sanctuary care (thanks Cricket for your ongoing sponsorship) and suffers from thyroid issues. She is holding her own. Rocky, a black toy poodle, has been with us since December. When he came in we found he had seizures and he is now on phenobarbital. He had his levels checked last week and once we find out if he's stable, Rocky will be looking for a home. He’s a very sweet senior…
Round up
Thanks to everyone who participated in our survey last week on how much you spent right after adoption. The average for supplies ranges around $250. The information will be used for a series of grants we’re working on to help bring more adopters to meet our adoptables.
It was a busy week with adoptions and we’re hoping for many more like this. See you next week.
