🐾 Chuck Update 🐾

This frumpy looking little lady has been with us almost two weeks now. There have been some ups and downs but I do think she's heading in the right direction 🙏

The biggest issue has been getting Chuck calories in a safe manner, with her cleft palete as large as it is food and water consumption is a real challenge. The only way she can eat is by being hand fed to ensure food does not lodge in the opening of her palate and to prevent her from aspirating. Her previous owners stated that she struggled with chronic URIs because of this. To be able to feed her safely we're having to hand make her food into little meat balls she can swallow without having to chew (it's a whole production in itself).

Hand feeding is definitely a new concept for Chuck so it's been quite the learning curve but I will say she is finally understanding the whole process and she's finally excited to eat, this is a well welcomed sight. She's also gaining some much needed weight and her coat is starting to look a lot better ❤️

Chuck quite frankly has a lot going on medically. She has hydrocephalus, a deformity in her front leg (just like Henry) and of course her huge cleft. On Monday she's set to see the vet on Monday so we can come up with a long term game plan for her, what that will look like remains to be seen. As long as Chuck is happy and doing well we'll do whatever we can to keep her that way.

Cases like Chuck are extremely difficult. While she may be the cutest squish face ever...finding a 🏠 for kids like her that will have major ongoing medical needs is not an easy task. It's not just finding someone willing to take on that financial responsibility that will come with her but also finding someone willing to put in the extra work and time to manage her issues but mostly importantly someone responsible enough to handle it all.

😞 Sadly Chuck may end up being in a long term/possibly permanent foster situation just to ensure her needs are met, she has a long road of her either way.

Currently we have multiple kids sitting in permanent foster homes simply because their medical needs are not something most people would be willing to take on. Even if a kid never reaches a point of being adoptable we fully believe they still deserve a life full of love, I'm going to name names but... Cough looking at you Henry... Cough Clark 😂

Male & Female Standard Poodles
*Both are blind not a bonded pair*
Two years old

They are incredibly sweet, affectionate dogs who just want someone to love them. Both have been spayed/neutered and are fully up to date on vaccines.

These two will need a patient, slow introduction into their new environment, as they are blind. We believe they may still see shadows, but they rely heavily on routine, scent, and sound. With time and consistency, they will thrive

If you’re interested or would like more information, please message me. Serious inquiries only. 🖤🐩
Please call or text 317-797-4661

Male Great Dane
2 years old

Big goofy guy who loves his people so much so that he does have separation anxiety when he is alone but it can be managed. He does well in the house and is potty trained. Danes may be big but they love wholeheartedly ❤️

This big guy prefers to be the only male dog in the home, he gets along great with the female dogs in his current home but he and the other males do not see eye to eye. He is UTD on vaccines and is neutered.

If you are interested in meeting this beautiful boy please call or text 419-519-0571

** None of these kids are located at the rescue, if you are interested in meeting one of them please contact the numbers listed ☝️**

🐾 We had 10 little cuties join us 🐾

These little puff balls are not going to stay little long. These kiddos are 8 week old Great Pyrenees puppies which means they are going to grow like weeds!

Tomorrow one of our transporters is running five of these kiddos to Humane Fort Wayne while another one of our amazing volunteers is transporting three to D's Dogs in Warren Ohio (thank you Gailboe Burns 🙏). Only two of these kiddos will be staying within JAR-Justice Animal Rescue.

The two kiddos staying with us are heading to Pampered Paws Salon Grooming and Boarding so they can get all fresh and clean, they'll be ready to head to foster later this week.

Speaking of foster, we are currently 👀 for a foster for the little female that is staying in our care, if you have room on your 🛋️ for a little girl please feel free to reach out!

For anyone interested in fostering we have some information listed 👇

How Fostering works:

You supply the love, we supply the medical care. Essentially you'd be giving one of these kids a safe place to hangout while they wait to complete their vetting & new 🏠

🐾 Meet Charlie & Her Angels 🐾

Charlie came to us a couple weeks ago, when she first arrived we initially thought maybe she was just hefty as most of the berners we pick up from her location 📍are rather round. It really wasn't anything too unusual.

After about a week of being with us her belly continued to grow and rather quickly which immediately raised a 🚩

Being hefty is one thing but getting even more round is not. Charlie headed off to get an ultrasound as we needed to know if she was pregnant or if she was experiencing a pyometra.... sure enough she was pregnant 🫠

Some of you may be asking why not do a spay abort❓️

Charlie was way too far into her pregnancy to consider this as a viable option, we are not against spay abortions but we do believe there is a line where it is ethical to have one done and when it's not. In this situation a spay abortion would have been inhumane, Charlie was at the tail end of her pregnancy. We only had one option which was wait for the little Angels to arrive.

Arrive they did, Charlie had a HUGE litter. She welcomed 12 precious babies into the world but tragically we did lose 3 rather quickly.
(When a litter is this big sadly this can happen). One was a rainbow baby and two were too weak and too small, even with intervention it just wasn't enough 😞

So far Charlie is being a really good Momma to her little Angels. Even though she's stuck on Mom Duty she's still finding time to be happy. Charlie is really starting to come into herself, her amazing fosters said she's learning how to let loose and play ❤️

The nine remaining puppies are healthy and thriving 🥰, they are about to turn 2 weeks old and they are growing like weeds. (Pics are from when they were a couple of days old).

Important ℹ️:

Charlie nor her Angels are accepting applications at this time. When the puppies reach 9/10 weeks old (after they have been spay/neutered) only THEN can you apply. Our focus will always be getting to know the puppies before attempting to make arrangements for their forever 🏡, they also need aquate time with their Mom and Siblings which why we do not adopt puppies out at 8 weeks old.

** We suspect the puppies are Bernedoodles but we will know more once we receive their DNA results **

🐾 The Chef Boyardee Crew 🐾

Baby update: I know some of you are dying to know... Is Henry the father?!... We'll get to that soon ;)

Firstly, I want to talk about how good Spaghettio has been. This beautiful girl has the sweetest disposition and she's been such a fantastic little momma to her Chef Boyardee Crew 👨‍🍳. These little cans of goodness officially turned 5 weeks old! They're hitting all of their milestones and they're officially starting to explore the world around them. It's always fun watching them come into their own personalities.

In roughly 4 weeks we will open up applications for Spaghettio and her babies so please stay patient as it'll be here before we all know it. For now we're only worried about letting them be happy little babies, the rest will fall into place when they're old enough to part ways with their mom and siblings.

Now onto the DNA results...

We tried to get Jerry Springer out here to read the results because they're so JUICY... But he declined 😂

In the matter of Henry:
- he is NOT the father 😭😂

In the matter of Spaghettio:
She has some major explaining to do. We were told she was a Goldendoodle by her breeder but the DNA test states otherwise...

Spaghettio is a mix of MALTESE AND POODLE‼️She's not a Goldendoodle at all, it's crazy to think Spaghetto is a Maltipoo (granted her Maltese percentage was only 1/4 of her DNA). Definitely not the mix we were expecting nor did anyone see that one coming.

Their Dad?... Well the DNA test shows he's a mix of HAVENSE AND POODLE‼️ This means their dad was a Havapoo.

I guess this makes the Chef Boyardee Babies 👨‍🍳 Doubles Doodles but for full transparency they are a mix of Poodle, Havense and Maltese. The poodle genetics all tested as toy poodle so these babies will stay on the smaller side. Their genetics also explain why a few of them have straight hair while others have some adorable curls.

One final thing, can we all agree for the sake of Henry we lie and tell him they're his? 😂

🐾 We had 3 More Kids Join Us 🐾

These kiddos are 👀 for a loving FOSTER or foster to adopt 🏠‼️

** THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**

The female cavalier marked number 1️⃣ will not be able to head to foster until we know if she is in fact pregnant or not BUT anyone interested in fostering her following her ultrasound please feel free to reach out. We really hope she isn't as we currently have two litters of puppies already on the ground but unfortunately she is looking rather large.

Hey Everyone 👋

I wanted to take a moment to share with you our Gofundme. Some of you have been following us for awhile now and you've seen the rollercoaster we call rescue. We've had our ups and our downs but every time we do what we can to keep marching forward.

Sometimes moving forward means change and for us that means looking for a new place to call home for JAR-Justice Animal Rescue. We're beyond blessed to have what we do, we have an amazing building but the reality we've outgrown our current property. We have calls every week we have to turn away due to spacing issues and we'd like to be able to say yes more.

We have a dream and together I think we could build something really incredible. If you have suggestions on fundraising ideas, property leads (we have looked at a couple but funding is the issue) or other suggestions on how we can make this dream a reality we'd love to hear it!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for always being there when we need you the most. Even if you're not in a place to donate please consider giving this post a share 🙏

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Animal Lovers, We the community are wh… Lee Justice needs your support for Support JAR’s Move to Better Serve Animals in Need

🐾 We've got some new kids 🐾

The past few days have been pretty busy for everyone, on Monday we had a couple of these kids join us. The bulldog marked #2 was part of the Monday group (We've been calling her Chuck 🥰). I won't sugar coat it, she is a pretty major medical case. Because of this Chuck will be staying at the rescue versus going to foster so she can be monitored closely. Even with everything else going we of course had our usual Wednesday pick up.

Just like every week we get kids in, some of them are still in need of a place to crash. If you have a comfy 🛋️ and a ❤️ open to helping, please reach out! Fostering is a great way to get involved and you just might find your new family member in the process.
