What it reported doing in 2025

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF MANY OF THE REASONS WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT Freckles was with her person for nine years. She was a loyal, loving, affectionate, happy companion. Then, every dogs nightmare happened. Freckles person passed away and she was shelter-bound.This energetic eleven-year-old mix needed a new friend. We reached out to our community and Freckles was soon in a foster home and then quickly adopted. One of our last saves of 2025 was a tiny kitten found frozen in the snow, barely moving but still somehow holding on. Would we help? Of course! Foxy Penguin required days of intensive care and multiple blood transfusions but this tiny kitten made it. She is now safe and warm in her new home. Just when you think youve heard it all... Ozzy, a small, defenseless, visually and hearing impaired senior, was found in THE SEWER This poor old guy was matted to the skin. His nails were curled and crossed over each other. He was filthy, limp, and emaciated. To make a very long story short, Ozzy was hospitalized, had his ups and downs until he stopped responding to anyone, and a doctor recommended euthanasia. We went to be with Ozzie who then spoke to us, loud and clear. Our volunteer recounts. After only a few minutes in my arms, Ozzy came back to life. He licked my hand a few times, started to squirm and kick his legs! I put him down and he stood, WALKED, and peed. He then turned right around and nudged my hand, wanting to be held again. The nurse came in with euthanasia paperwork and we promptly said Ozzy wasnt going anywhere but home. The doctor thought we were making a mistake but since that day many months ago, Ozzy has been enjoying his new lease on life
