Tipsy is a little cutie, a 4-year old maltese mix who was left tied to the shelter
fence one night. We suspect her medical issues were more than her owner could handle.
She immediately required eye surgery to remove an ulcer effecting her left eye.
All went well. She is also hearing impaired but right now, we are focused on her
knees. This laid back little girl was diagnosed as needing major surgery to repair one or both
of her back knees. As vet prepared for the knee repair, he discovered some arthritis and
an old wound when her left hip was dislocated some time ago, leaving her with scar tissue.
He repaired this and we are hopeful this will solve her problem without further surgery.
They may look like big brown sad eyes, but Tipsy is a cuddly, loving little dog -
who gets along with cats, other small dogs and every human she meets.
She can sure use a Guardian Angel or two to support her medical needs. Every
little bit will insure the best possible care for Tipsy.
She is available for adoption. Shelter will continue responsibility for her
medical care, but we know she would heal faster in a happy, loving home environment.

On Friday (9/27/13), we got an urgent plea from Oran M. Roberts Elementary School.
Fourth graders found a male kitten in one of the playground trash cans. They called the assistant principal. There was indeed a kitten almost completely submerged in water. The only thing above water was his little nose and one paw. They pulled him from the trash. The stench led them to believe that he had been in there for a while. (Subsequently, a janitor reported for two days he heard a kitten crying but could not locate it.)
The rescuers dried him off, and one of the coaches set him up with a heater to warm him up. A thoughtful parent (who is highly allergic to cats) bundled him up and rushed him to the shelter.
An emergency vet visit determined he was in fact hypothermic, dehydrated and in critical condition from submersion. Right now Aquarius is resting on a heating pad, getting fluids, antibiotics and syringe feedings.
While he is in critical condition, we are trying our best to give this little cat a chance. He has a group of fourth graders who are truly his Guardian Angels, but he could use more Guardian Angel support while he is healing.
This little sweetheart is Happy. Look at that face!
This little 13 pound wheaten terrier collided with a car, and he got the worst of it. He was turned in to Animal Services for help. He couldn't put pressure on his hind quarters and had some open wounds and road rash, so they suspected pelvic injuries, and sent out an appeal for a rescue.
We rushed him to the vet and miraculously, no broken bones but severe internal bruising, abdominal wounds and external derma-abrasions, requiring careful attention against infection and debriding to insure healing.
Happy has exhibited an amazing demeanor through his pain .... and might not exactly live up to that name right now, but it is definitely in his personality. What will help make him happier right now is a Guardian Angel who will help us help him.
If you can help, please be his Guardian Angel and help Happy recover and get ready for a forever home!

On Saturday, August 24th, Morgan and Asena celebrated their 8th birthdays at a joint party with friends and family. In lieu of presents, they asked everyone to bring a donation for Dog & Kitty City animals.
After the party, the girls visited the shelter to drop off a wonderful array of gifts for our furry friends. They also had a tour and a chance to visit with the animals.
A great big HSDC thank you to these junior volunteers who stepped up to help the animals!
