This is Lovey, who suffered severe injuries from a buckshot wound to the face, resulting in damage to her eye and a decline in overall health due to being underweight and testing positive for Lyme disease. Following surgery to remove the damaged eye, spaying, and treatment for Lyme disease, Lovey is now on the path to recovery and is already showing improvement. Your donation towards her medical expenses would be greatly appreciated.

Update #1: Jon has to be on antibiotics for the next 2 weeks. In that time he needs to put on weight. Jon weighed only 48 pounds as an intact male. He has been running for weeks scavenging for food. He is now getting the care he needs from humans. Shelter, food, vet care, and love.

This is Jon and he DESPERATELY needs our help. Jon came to the shelter with a very painful open wound on his foot and severely underweight.

At some point Jon had his foot caught in a trap.

The wound is not new. We’ve had Jon examined by the vet and they believe his foot can be SAVED, but we cannot do that without your help. Jon’s injury is severe and it will take time, many vet visits and the generosity of strangers for him to recover fully. He’s been running at large for weeks and is underweight but he STILL wants to make people happy. He’s is incredibly sweet and deserves a chance to keep his foot.

Please share and donate. Help us help Jon if you can.

Once we have an idea of the cost of Jon’s care we will update Ln runr

Roane shelter is running low on canned cat food and dry dog/cat food. Their biggest worry is always having enough food. The shelter staff and animals appreciate all donations. The shelter is housing 26 canines and 51 felines as of today, with several more set to come in at the beginning of the week. Thank you.
