Exciting Wellness Wednesday Update!!

Hello everyone! Our Wellness Wednesdays will now be appointment-based only, starting this week. This means we will be scheduling appointment times instead of our usual walk-in only policy. Appointments will be available from 9 AM – 3 PM and can be scheduled on our website (link below). To ensure a timely and efficient visit for every furry friend, we will no longer be accepting walk-ins during our wellness days.

In other fun news, don’t forget to check out our free pantry located in our lobby! From basic supplies to our adorable clothing closet, there’s something for every pet! 🐱🐶
Featuring our very own clinic cat, Crinkle, modeling the latest in spring fashion! 💕

We have a lot of emotions about leaving the Bahamas, but this face just about sums it all
up😂

As sad as we are about leaving the sun for the snow, we are so excited to get back to Columbus and continue helping our wonderful communities as we gear up for more spay/neuter and our Wellness Wednesday this week!!

Come see us for wellness exams, vaccines, and preventions this Wednesday from 9-3pm!

When groups like Baark and SOS set up these clinics, our main goal is ALWAYS spay and neuter. But sometimes, the dogs you trap have severe injuries, and you have the opportunity to help them.

This boy had SEVERAL wounds, the worst of which was a laceration to his eyelid that could have eventually led to blindness from exposed tissue that should have been covering his eye and not irritating it.

But he was found by the right group of people (THANK YOU ABACO SHELTER!) , and we were able to suture his torn eyelid back together and treat his wounds. The wonderful volunteers at Abaco Shelter were willing to care for him post op before releasing him back on the street.

These clinics make such a difference, and we are so proud to be a part of them. The teamwork and dedication of all the groups who do this is commendable.

Celebrating spay day at our MASH clinic here in Abaco, Bahamas…and just because it’s spay day, doesn’t mean the boys get a day off 😉

Shout out to Basil, the chunkiest (with just a touch of spice) ladies man of the
day💕 who was so chunky he couldn’t fit on our surgery table!!

With over 50+ spay/neuters completed so far, we have so much more to share with you all!! Stay tuned as we embark on our next MASH clinic in Guana Cay tomorrow!! 😁

Sorry we’ve been silent…we have been cooking up some exciting new projects and are excited to announce we’re back and better than ever!!!

Clinic day 1 wrapped up with a great success here in Abaco, Bahamas with 29 spays and neuters completed!!!🌴

From owned animals to those who roam freely throughout the island, our mission remains the same.

Providing exceptional care, both medical and emotional, remains our top priority to improve the life of every furry friend. From our exceptional local communities here in Columbus to those expanding beyond our boarders✈️

From routine spay/neuter, to repairing wounds
(…and especially a much needed cuddle🥰), our team works tirelessly from sun up to sun down. Coincidentally, our efforts come at a time for celebration as we approach WORLD SPAY DAY!!🩺

Stay tuned as we continue our efforts and celebrate World Spay Day tomorrow in a beautiful place with an even more beautiful mission!

🐾 REMINDER: Wellness Wednesdays at SOS of Ohio 🐾

Wellness Wednesdays are designed for basic wellness and preventive care to help us serve as many pets as possible in our community.

These appointments are perfect for:
✔️ Physical exams
✔️ Vaccines
✔️ Heartworm testing
✔️ FeLV/FIV testing
✔️ Deworming
✔️ Treatment for upper respiratory infections (dogs & cats)
✔️ Minor medical needs like ear or skin infections
✔️ Senior/wellness bloodwork panels
✔️ Flea & heartworm prevention
✔️ Microchips

While we are happy to address minor medical concerns during these visits, we are not equipped to hospitalize pets, perform emergency surgeries, or provide extensive diagnostics for critically ill animals.

If your pet is experiencing an emergency, we unfortunately will have to refer you elsewhere if you arrive during Wellness Wednesday hours.

Our clinics are extremely busy, and emergency cases require significant doctor and staff time. Wellness Wednesdays allow us to provide affordable preventive care to the greatest number of pets possible.

Thank you so much for your understanding and for helping us keep things running smoothly for everyone.
