DENVER
Meet Denver! He was a transfer from a rescue partner in Northern Wisconsin. Denver is heartworm positive and had his first injection April 1st. When dogs are undergoing heartworm injections their activity level needs to be very minimal (3-4 five minute potty walks a day) If a dog is active during this time it can lead to something called a massive worm die-off, where the dog may experience a pulmonary embolism or even anaphylaxis which can result in death. Denver will need at least two more injections to help rid his body of the worms.
At first Denver was getting lots of love hanging out in the office, but now he is in a foster home.

DIO
16 year old Dio came in after his owner could no longer care for him. Staff quickly noticed a strong odor coming from his mouth. He was brought to the vet and immediately put on antibiotics for a severe mouth infection. Dio had dental surgery, where all but two of his teeth were pulled! Without the surgery Dio would continue to be in pain and have a very poor quality of life.
Dio is currently being spoiled in a foster home, following his mom everywhere. He may be an older gentleman, but he is as spunky as ever and conquered this dental like the champ we know he is. And, he is now up for adoption! |
COCKATRICES
Cockatrices came into the Neenah Animal Shelter as a stray. He was dirty, matted, and incredibly fearful. Being outside had taken a toll on him and he needed a lot of help to begin healing, which included medical care and learning how to trust people. After seeing a vet and being on various medications it was found that Cockatrices’ left eye unfortunately isn’t savable and needs to be removed. The good news is he is now sporting a new haircut from having his mats removed and has started showing us his personality. He adores chin scratches, just melts into you because he can’t get enough. When you pet him down his back he pushes his butt up in the air for more, we call this his elevator butt. Cockatrices has surgery to remove that pesky painful eye on January 31st and is ready for a new beginning!
Update: Cockatrices' surgery went well and he is now getting some well deserved rest and elevator butt time! |
