This gorgeous girl is a sweet female black lab whose tail never stops wagging. She gets along with absolutely everyone and is such a great dog! She weighs about 54 lbs. and is 1-2 years old. When Libby was rescued from the shelter, a volunteer noticed that she seemed to be having pain in her back leg and was not using the leg at all. The vet at the shelter had said nothing was wrong with her, but when we picked her up and took her to our vet, x-rays determined that Libby had a tibial avulsion in that leg. She had surgery 2 days later to correct the problem, had to have a pin put in to repair the torn ligaments in her knee, and is now recovering in her foster home. She is wearing a splint and will be for at least the next few weeks. Her foster mom said she's a great patient, although you can tell she would rather not have to lie around all the time. Libby's surgery cost about $700 and since we are a non-profit rescue group, we are trying to raise money to pay the vet for this, as he was kind enough to do the surgery right away so that there would be no permanent damage to Libby's leg and she could begin to heal ASAP. If you would like to donate to help with the cost of Libby's surgery, please see below for more information. Thank you for helping us give this sweet girl a second chance at life!

Tillie was found as a stray roaming a neighborhood in southern Ohio, ended up at the shelter there, and fortunately then made her way to our rescue. Poor Tillie was heartworm positive and needed treatment immediately. This is a very painful and expensive treatment but Tillie fought through it and is expected to recover fully. Adult heartworms, about six inches long, live in the heart and large blood vessels. These adult male and female worms produce thousands of microscopic baby worms. This can be very painful for the dog and if not treated is deadly. Heartworm treatment is expensive and we are still trying to raise the necessary funds for the treatment, which our vet was kind enough to do even though we did not have the money right away. If you would like to donate to help with the cost of Tillie's surgery, please see below for more information. Thank you for helping us give this sweet girl a second chance at life! Tillie is a big, happy girl who never stops smiling and wagging her adorable little docked tail. She gets along beautifully with other animals in the home and has never met someone she doesn't like. She will be available for adoption once fully recovered.
