Brothers Pumpkin and Garfield needed a good home and luckily they found it with Scottsboro AL resident Gwen Ford!
Both of these one year old boys have been neutered with Spay Neuter Jackson County AL thanks to a grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation!
Now they are living their best life and not contributing to our large overpopulation of kittens and puppies.
Thank you DDAF!

One of the best things about our Rez Vet clinics is what we call our door to door component. During door to door services, we bring free veterinary care right to our clients’ doorsteps!
That’s where we met Q-Tip.
This beautiful Siamese cat is a senior, but she certainly doesn’t look like it! She shares her home with her loving human family and nine other dogs and cats. We were so happy to be able to get Q-Tip and all of her siblings up to date on their shots. Her owners were especially grateful because all of their pets are elderly, and with so many, it would have been difficult for them to transport them to our chapter house location.
Our favorite thing about this particular home visit was learning how Q-Tip and all of her siblings found their way to their humans. From trash bins, to ditches, to parking lots, Q-Tip’s owners have rescued and adopted stray dogs and cats wherever they come across them.
We are honored to help such caring humans and grateful to DDAF for helping make this possible.

This month we celebrate the birthdays of two of our senior chimpanzee residents! Yolanda and Boy are both turning 57.
Yolanda is very fond of vegetables, particularly celery, and loves relaxing in hammocks. She enjoys spending time on the island with her family by her side.
Boy loves basking in the sun and picking cattails along the waterway for a tasty snack. His favorite activity is grooming—as long as he can find a family member willing to sit still long enough to endure one of his marathon grooming sessions!
Many thanks to the Doris Day Animal Foundation for supporting the care of our senior chimpanzee residents.

Lucky is a sweet, sociable six-year-old brown tabby who has been adopted from and returned to AWMLC twice, due to no fault of her own. Lucky LOVES people and can often be found sleeping the day away in a volunteer’s lap. Unfortunately, Lucky has been experiencing chronic digestive issues recently. Funding from the Doris Day Animal Foundation is helping AWLMC to cover the cost of her vet care, including an ultrasound and special prescription food. Lucky is currently in a foster home until she feels well enough to return to the shelter – and hopefully to be adopted for good!

At Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, releases of strong and healthy wild animal patients back to natural habitat is the greatest reward of all.
A hearty flock of fifteen Mallard ducks was released at the end of July after being found orphaned and admitted to the WRC over two months earlier. Witnessing them waddle to freedom and leave their wading pool behind for an expansive and serene lake is a breathtaking sight worth sharing!
Supporters of wildlife rehabilitation at HARP have more ways than ever to directly engage in these triumphant release experiences. Nearby private and public property owners of yards, municipal parks, forested tracts, and other green spaces, can apply to be a registered HARP release site. Carefully evaluated by a WRC Release Coordinator who visits the site multiple times throughout the year, many conditions are recorded and tracked including topography, species of flora and fauna observed, and proximity to roadways and other human hazards, to understand which patients will be the best fit for the environment and a chance to thrive. HARP maintains approximately 90 registered release sites to choose from when considering their lifelong needs.
Avid wildlife advocates can also join HARP’s ‘Wild Bunch’ membership for insider, behind-the-scenes tours of our rehab facility, educational opportunities, regular newsletter updates, and the exclusive perk of attending wildlife releases alongside HARP staff.

Sir Dean the Third`s Happy Tail:
The handsome and gallant Sir Dean the Third (Dean for short) arrived at HSPPR Pueblo as a stray. He was found wandering the street, but he clearly wasn’t cut out for the ‘street cat life,’ so he was brought to the shelter to find a family.
While in care, the staff noticed Dean having issues with urinating and even had a slight amount of blood in his urine. He was diagnosed with cystitis – inflammation of the bladder – and urinating was painful for him. He was started on fluids and pain meds, which helped tremendously.
After three weeks in our care, Dean was happy, healthy, and ready to move on to the next part of his adventure – adoption. The same day he was put on the adoption floor, he stole his new family’s heart with his bright, charming personality.

Milo is a sweet little 9 month old chihuahua mix pup. He came to see us at our clinic in Two Grey Hills because he had been attacked by a large neighboring dog the week prior. His owners brought him to our urgent care on Friday evening, and our team got right to work. Dr. Lizzy and Rori shaved around his wounds, then flushed his wounds and cleaned them with antiseptic so they could see and treat him.
Once his wounds were cleaned, he was treated with antibiotics, pain meds for pain and inflammation, and also received vaccines and parasite prevention meds.
The next day, Milo’s owners brought him back in for a recheck and we were happy to see that his wounds were already doing much better. Milo’s owners love him very much and take excellent care of him. As is often the case in our work, there simply were no local veterinary offices to take Milo to, so his owners leapt at the opportunity to bring him to our clinic, where we were able to fix him up.
Thank you, DDAF, for helping us help pets like Milo!

At just two years old, Mama Holleigh has already learned a hard lesson about life: sometimes, the world can be a lonely place.
Holleigh was found roaming the streets of Carlsbad, New Mexico, and came to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue via Noah`s Ark Animal Shelter. Little did Noah`s Ark know that when Holleigh was rescued, she was about to become a mama! On the very morning she was scheduled to be spayed, Holleigh gave birth to her kittens instead.
After a long ride to Denver, this young mama has devoted herself to her babies—and she’s done an incredible job. But now that her kittens are growing up, Holleigh is waiting for someone to show her that she is wanted, too. Once her kittens are weaned and ready for adoption, it will be her turn to be spayed so she never has to face raising kittens alone on the streets again.
Unfortunately, Holleigh`s story is far from unique. Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue rescues many young mothers with kittens each year—moms who are barely adults themselves. Since cats can go into heat as young as four months—or even younger depending on weight, breed, environment, and other factors—it is important to spay/neuter kittens as early as possible. At Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, we spay/neuter every healthy kitten in our care when they reach two pounds to avoid "teen mom" mishaps and help keep feline overpopulation in check.
After everything Holleigh`s been through, this sweet girl deserves a family of her own, a soft place to sleep, and the chance to finally be someone’s beloved companion. Thanks to support from friends like the Doris Day Animal Foundation, we know her Holleigh`s story will have a happy ending!
