Thankfully one of the owner surrenders got cancelled yesterday, but we still have a trap set for another dog at the other reservation. We are still holding onto a cruelty case which there doesn’t seem to be any movement on the petition for custody. I have an opportunity next Friday to get some of the dogs fully vetted, but if we are still at/close to capacity, the euthanasia deadline will be Wed Aug 5th. Some of these guys are becoming long termers and it’s showing in their behavior. *If anyone has room for friendly kittens (3-4 mo old), please reach out. I am trying to help Okeechobee Animal Control with their influx of kittens. I can transport*. If you have any room, I can be reached via email, phone, or text. Work cell 863-228-6265. Personal cell 812-241-9572. We have no public adoptions and only utilize rescues. We also have no vetting, but can usually help with transport. I do have a limited number of heartworm tests, flea/tick, heartworm prevention, dewormer, and FELV tests upon request. *Please note, all my face to face dog testing is done on leash due to not having an area to test off leash*
