Rescued!

Field Agent Pam was able to rescue this cat from about 10 feet down an egress-he'd apparently fallen in and was not able to get back out. The cat is now in our care and doing very well!

We ❤️ updates! "Miss Pearl is my baby girl and means the world to me. She is a smart, beautiful piggy. She is house trained, tell her to shake and she gives you a hoof, spins and is very well mannered unless you tell her no more treats then she throws herself on the floor and has a fit! It’s Hilarious! ...Want to thank everyone at the animal shelter for letting me adopt her."

Happy #TransformationTuesday from Grandma Ursula!

Back in June, we weren't sure if there was even a dog under all that fur. After several months in foster care and treatment for a variety of issues, this sweet senior lady is loving life with her forever family.

Grandma Ursula was able to have a new beginning thanks to all of your support and dedication to the animals. Please consider helping us to keep changing animal lives by donating to MHS. You can find the link in the comments💕
