Winnie still needs a little help from her friends. She had a check up today on her progress after her initial emergency care at Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists for life-threatening pulmonary edema, and her vet said she continues to have chest congestion and pneumonia.

Her vet wants Winnie to continue on an antibiotic while her lung congestion lingers.

Because she is still fighting off infection, they did not advise additional puppy vaccinations at this time, so we will keep her as safe as possible to help protect her fragile immune system until she’s well enough for her puppy shots.

Please help with Winnie’s continued medical needs and care if you’re able. We appreciate any sized donations!

Winnie says thank you to ALL who have asked about her and send her love. 💗

Sweet Clover hasn’t had ONE application for adoption, and we just don’t understand why. This baby is so sweet with young children and her foster’s older dog, too.

We decided to make her a personality profile, so you could get to know her better.

Temperament: sweet and playful

Good with: adults, kids, and dogs (we haven’t tested her with cats, but she has liked everyone she’s met so far!)

Potty trained: yes

Night crate trained: yes

Intelligence: bright and catches on to training easily

Age & weight: 1 year old, 27 lbs.

Why she’s an Arrow Fund rescue: in October, this puppy was struck and turned away by her owner while she was in miserable pain. A rescuer called TAF to provide medical intervention. She had repair surgeries to her hip, and has now healed.

We asked Clover’s foster some getting-to-know-her questions:

1. What is Clover’s favorite snuggle place?

“Clover loves to snuggle with our older dog. She likes to cuddle right up next to him in the same bed if he is resting. She also loves to be in her kennel to feel safe and get rest. She is super cute at the end of the night, and puts herself to bed. Or if you ask if she’s ready to go ‘night night’ she runs right in and burrows down in her blanket. She sleeps in such funny positions—lying on her back with paws up, burying her head in blankets, or falling asleep with toys in her mouth.”

2. How is Clover funny?

“Clover is very floppy and roly-poly! She sits up so straight that if you touch her she just rolls back. When you play, she rolls all over. And she lies in the funniest positions when she rests. She also makes funny ‘Wookiee’ noises when she wants to play.”

3. Is Clover a “people dog”?

“Clover is a Velcro puppy—she wants to be right with you no matter where you go and follows you everywhere. If you stop walking, she will stand between your legs and look up at you, waiting for a head scratch.”

4. How does Clover express her love for humans?

“Clover follows us everywhere. If we shut the door to the bathroom before she makes it in, she will lie outside and wait for it to open again to be with us. She gives lots of kisses and loves to snuggle up next to us.”

5. How does Clover act around small children?

“Clover loves our 3-year-old niece. She follows her around, and gives her little kisses. This makes our niece laugh, and Clover gets excited and gives even more kisses! She is very patient and gentle when being petted and loved on by a very enthusiastic small person!”

6. Anything she doesn’t like?

“She doesn’t like putting her harness on, but loves going for walks once we get started. She will not walk using a leash on her collar—she just shakes her head and digs her heels in. She also isn’t a big fan of the bath or her pool, but once she gets in, she just stands there looking sad.”

7. What motivates Clover?

“Clover loves food! She is especially fond of peanut butter and will spend hours with a Kong full of PB.”

Fireworks may be fun for us, but they’re terrifying for our pets. 💥🐾

Every year, more pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day. The loud booms and flashing lights can send even the calmest animals into panic mode—jumping fences, slipping collars, and running far from home.

Before the festivities begin, make a plan to keep your pets safe and secure. Swipe through for simple steps you can take today to protect your furry family members. ❤️🇺🇸

THUNDER HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! The sweet, soulful-eyed dog who was once tossed into the abyss off a bridge during raging storms has found his forever home with his new family who brought him peace and love beside still waters.

This dog captured hearts across the state when we learned that he had been thrown from a bridge by someone he most likely willingly walked beside. We make that assumption knowing that Thunder never lost his trust or adoration of people. He adores us despite the terror he must have felt during that freefall into nothingness at the hands of a cruel human who betrayed him.

Despite the terror and pain he endured from legs broken so badly that they needed metal pins and screws to hold them steady while he healed, Thunder continued to demonstrate nothing but affection with his wonderful Arrow Fund foster and his foster’s dogs.

Thunder has always adored people. We have joy in our hearts to tell you that Thunder now has a forever family who adores him right back.

“This week, we are taking him to the lake with us with his new brothers (Tulley, a 9-year-old labrador, and Rudy, a 2 ½-year-old lab), and I plan to tell Thunder’s Arrow Fund story to anybody who will listen,” said his loving new adopter.

With his new family, Thunder will have his own, amazing pack of great people to love and good dogs to play with. From this day forward, he will always have loving people walking beside him—people he can trust to care for him until the day he finally crosses that Rainbow Bridge. Thunder has a very bright future.

Our beautiful Arrow Fund family of supporters made that joyful outcome possible from an unimaginable tragedy. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

❤️❤️❤️
