Karl (one of our soon to be adoptable rabbits) is celebrating tonight-can’t you see the resemblance?

Happy Halloween! No tricks here-just treats! Like 3 minutes of bird ASMR!

And some good news: we are SLOWLY re-opening! This means that starting this weekend adoption applications and surrender requests will begin being reviewed. Please continue to be patient with us as we look for perfect homes for our little friends!

There’s very few things as exciting as when you tell your artist your idea and they nail it….except maybe the announcement we’re making later this week! Do you have any guesses?

HUGE thanks to Pawlove for making my ideas a reality again!

Sometimes my heart gets broken by animals I don’t even get to meet.

Over the weekend we were contacted about a dumped and injured hamster, we agreed to take it if it could get here (because even though I suck at intake freezes it doesn’t change the fact that I have exactly 0 time to actually meet for intakes) and one of our amazing volunteers agreed to bring it to us the next day.

Unfortunately the little nugget passed away overnight. But it knew warmth, comfort and safety in its final hours.

Please don’t dump your pets. It’s not “setting them free” it’s not “letting them be wild”

It’s a death sentence. An entirely avoidable, painful, torturous death sentence.

That look you make when you’re getting carried back outside in a nice fluffy blanket after spending the night inside because you thought trying to drown yourself was a good idea.

HUGE thank you to Walmart Distribution Center #6017 for a very generous donation of these blankets! They’re already being put to good use giving rabbits comfort and ducks a safe (& keeping me clean) transport!

I’ve waited a few days to post but I wanted to let everyone know that Patch, the adorable guinea pig from our last post, passed the morning after we made that post.

Patch was adored in his foster home and spent his last days being cared for and loved on. He unexpectedly crashed early the next morning and passed with the foster on the way to the emergency vet.

Patch had, unfortunately, been through a lot during his short 8 months of life and we believe that he likely had other underlying health issues or that the length of his infection likely led to it spreading.

We know though that at the end he knew love, comfort, a full belly and safety and that makes our heartbreak worth it.

Meet Patch! (Well… Patch’s butt)

Patch came to us a few weeks ago from a local pet store that had been trying to treat an eye infection and other concerns, and they reached out to us when they'd reached the end of what they could do.

Now, we rarely agree to take in guinea pigs because we have not normally had fosters and I have a little bit of ✨trauma✨ around them. If you’re unlucky enough some day I may share the baby hamster-guinea pig story.

But hey, we recently had a couple of fosters express interest in them, so why not?

We were able to get Patch into our amazing vet at All-Star Veterinary Clinic right away. After we were able to obtain his previous veterinary records, our vet recommended cultures and some changes to his medications.

Those tests helped us figure out that Patch’s infection was resistant to the antibiotics he had previously been receiving. Our vet now has a very positive outlook on Patch’s future and we look forward to watching his funny personality bloom even more.

So far we have spent $450.37 on exams, tests, and medications and unfortunately we aren’t quite done yet.

If you would like to help support Patch and the other animals in our care like him please consider donating at the links in the comments.

Our newest ambassador in training, Kevin, popping in here to share our newest service: paper shredding! Protect all your personal info by having a cockatoo shred your paperwork- it’s okay. He can’t read English.

(note: we are not actually offering paper shredding services. But you can totally make a donation at the links in the comments below to make sure Kevin has plenty of things to destroy)

So harvest brain got me and I kinda, sorta, totally forgot to finish the series on how you can help our short term foster care program! 😂

Last week we touched on fostering but we know not every can, or wants, to do that! One of the second most needs we have is for transportation! Whether that be transporting to and from vet appointments, between foster homes or to/from other rescues it seems like we're always needing something to get somewhere!

We may be biased (she's also one of our fosters) but Morgan is the best!

Make sure to say lots of nice things to her the next time you see her (or on the original post)

Happy Work Anniversary, Morgan!

Today we’re celebrating Morgan, one of our amazing Veterinary Assistants here at All-Star Veterinary Clinic!

Morgan brings so much care, compassion, and dedication to our team and to every pet that walks through our doors. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she does to help keep our patients happy, healthy, and loved!
