Meet Marco

Marco was found as a stray by animal control and only available to a rescue because of state of his health and condition.  He is extremely emaciated and depressed.  Once at our vet, we discovered that he had pneumonia and was hypoglycemic.  We have placed him on antibiotics, IV fluids with glucose.  Our volunteers are visiting twice a day to give him love and attention. They are also bringing him treats and food like chicken and turkey that he will eat out of their hands.  His appetite inside the hospital has been low so we are trying to give him some extra nutritional boosts.   He needs to stay at the hospital for now until we can get him through these big hurdles.  Once he gets outside for fresh air, he perks up and will climb up in your lap for pets and cuddles.  Although he is so sick and skinny, he is a handsome boy with a sweet disposition.  Please send good thoughts his way for a recovery.  He will probably be in the hospital for a lengthy stay and would benefit directly from any donations made to our Shamrock Fund.

Farewell to Pi

Pi had not been responding to the steroid injections he was receiving so we discontinued that treatment. With no other options, we chose to keep him comfortable and happy as long as possible. He eventually got to a point where he was no longer comfortable or happy and we had to make the very difficult decision to let him go. Pi was loved dearly by his foster mom, and he enjoyed the company of his foster siblings. His final months were filled with love, good food, and fun. We were happy to be there for Pi to give him as much happiness as we could in the final months of his life. We will remember him always.
