10/11/23 – On October 5, Robert W. (who had rescued Chico and was helped by 4 paws 1 heart) contacted us about a little dog he had come across while working in the Flint, MI area. Aoife (Eefa) was hiding in the bushes, scared with no collar. Robert brought her a blanket and some water hoping an owner would show up but 6 hours later, Aoife was still hiding in the bushes. Robert went through the neighborhood asking if anyone knew Aoife or an owner but came up with nothing so, like Chico, he brought her home. Beyond fleas and worms, Aoife appeared to be healthy and we authorized her to be seen at Orion Animal Hospital where she already began her regimen before being spayed. Robert truly believes that his companion, Kenya, who has passed away, is guiding these dogs to the safety of Robert who has been successful in finding loving homes for those Kenya has been sending his way. Our communities are truly blessed to have such great people with such a love for animals.

10/11/23 – We posted Mocha’s story the other day and wanted to share this update. Today Mocha was taken to All About Animals to get started on her road to wellness. She had her heart worm test, vaccines, and an appointment was made for her spay. Look how happy she is. How can you not love that face? – diana

10/11/23 – This poor mama was abandoned by her owners because they found out she was pregnant (well, we all know how to make sure that doesn’t happen don’t we). Nonetheless, she had her babies on the streets and fortunately a very kind man saw the family and took them in. We’ve now been asked to help. Blitz, Fidget, Milli, and Gemini are only about 3 weeks old so we’ve asked the rescuer to just keep everyone safe and healthy for now and we’ve authorized the family to get ‘the works’ when everyone is ready. We are all so very thankful for the many kind people who will take in an animal in need and our donors who give us the ability to help. – diana

10/11/23 – Willow is another poor stray found on the streets of Flint. She was posted on facebook as a stray seen running the streets for a couple of months. By working with the poster, Wendy, was able to find her and bring her in — only to find out she was pregnant. It was September 27 when we were contacted. Well before we could at least get Willow a wellness check, she had her babies. Now she is taking good care of them and when everyone is ready and I have names for the babies, they will be seen at All About Animals in Flint for Willow’s heart worm test, and vaccines/spays/neuters for all as appropriate. – diana

10/10/23 – I was September 20 when we were contacted about this sweet, very thin cat who was rescued while two women were trying to help with a hoarding situation. Mister’s leg appeared to be broken and his rescuer’s believed he had been someone’s pet at one time. He was taken to one of the best at Orion Animal Hospital. His leg had seemed to get better on its own so it was no longer a concern. He was found to be FIV positive, but we all know that the disease can’t be passed on without a deep bite and Mister is very friendly. But, his white blood cell and proteins count was a little abnormal. The doctor was concerned about FIP. Mister was given fluids and put on an antibiotic regimen for 14 days. Between that appointment and his October 9 follow up, he did have a fever which was concerning but that resolved itself with antibiotics and finally Mister went back to the doctor yesterday. He had gained one pound which was great and his blood work results were in normal range. He still is running a slight fever but the doctor ruled out FIP. He will be monitored a little longer and if the blood work remains normal and the fever goes away he will be neutered and on his way to a great life. – diana

Thank YOU to our donors, the doctors, and the rescuers. Without the Village, so many animals would never stand a chance!
