SCOTCH'S STORY

3,584 OF ANIMALS WERE ADOPTED FROM OUR SHELTERS AND OFFSITE PARTNERS THIS YEAR.

Sheba came to Pet Alliance after living outdoors for some time. At one point, she had been hit by a car and suffered from a torn CCL (cranial cruciate ligament). Additionally, it was discovered through a routine blood test that she had heartworm disease, a condition that is fatal if left untreated.

Our shelter medical team immediately sprang into action to get this sweet and goofy girl the care she needed. The heartworms were treated and we coordinated a special surgery to fix her torn CCL so she could be free of pain and discomfort.

Tabby cat Thomas lived his entire life outside before being trapped by our Community Cat Initiative with the intention of neutering him and releasing him back to his outdoor home. However, our shelter medical team quickly discovered that he was living with FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) and diabetes.

Due to his conditions and his laid-back personality, the decision was made that an indoor life would be best for Thomas so that he could get the care he desperately needed.

Thomas was placed with one of our foster volunteers, Lisa, who provided a cozy and safe space for this veteran of the outdoors. Thomas settled in so well with Lisa, she decided to adopt him!
