Buddy - Saved Once, We Can Do It Again

Buddy, our poster dog, was diagnosed with canine osteosarcoma on Tuesday, April 28. On April 29, his right front leg was amputated and he must now receive chemotherapy to prevent the cancer from traveling throughout his body.

Buddy is special (aren't they all?) and loved by many. He was the dog that launched our efforts to make a difference in Ohio's county pounds. Rescued just 20 minutes before being shoved into a gas chamber, 18 other dogs that day were not. We had to fight just to get this one dog released to us.

Since that day, the Ohio SPCA has been investigating county dog shelters. We have been successful in halting the use of engine exhaust, gas boxes, gas chambers, and bullets to end the lives of homeless dogs.  Our work must continue as we have many rural county pounds that continue to function as nothing more than catch and kill facilities. We are currently working to end the use of gas chambers in numerous counties.

Do to the current economy, our funds are dangerously low and Buddy's treatment is beyond our current ability to pay. Additionally, we are now being forced to turn animals away until we are back on our feet again.  The Ohio SPCA operates a 40-acre farm animal sanctuary. The farm is home to over a hundred formerly abused and abandoned animals. Medical care, feed, and shelter must be provided for Buddy and the other animals in our care.

Buddy has been released from OSU Vet Hospital. He will return on May 11 to start chemotherapy. We saved his life once. We would like to do it again.

4 Seasons Air Turns on the Heat

The Ohio SPCA had two urgent holiday season wishes. One was for heat in the
animal sanctuary farmhouse and the other for a used vehicle for animal
transport. With a furnace beyond repair and donations low, the Ohio SPCA reached out
for help. Two days before Thanksgiving, the blessing of warmth was bestowed upon us by two
very caring and generous men, Bran Silveous and Chris Rollins, partners in 4
Seasons Air located in Centerburg, Ohio.

Bran and Chris traveled all the way from Knox County to the Pickaway County farm
sanctuary and installed a new Trane heating and cooling system in the bitter cold on Tuesday
November 25. Trane donated the furnace and Bran and Chris installed everything free of charge,
thus saving the Ohio SPCA thousands of dollars.

We all know that this is the time of the year to give to others. These two
gentlemen have truly demonstrated the giving spirit - helping animals and
the volunteers of the Ohio SPCA. We can't thank them enough. May the blessing
they bestowed upon us come back tenfold to their families!

A huge thank you to 4 Seasons Air and Trane!

Ohio Counties: Progress and Problems

Angel and Sweet Pea are two special goats with special needs.

Sweet Pea arrived full of lice and with a leg that had been broken and never repaired. She now needs expensive surgery to repair the leg before she gets any older. Funds are needed for this surgery which will be done at the OSU Veterinary Hospital in Columbus.

Angel, a sweet small white goat, will forever live with damage resulting from neglect. When she came to us, her hooves were grossly overgrown and she had been walking on her knees for a very long time. Her knees will never be normal and she still wants to graze while on her knees. Due to long-term neglect, Angel walks slower than normal and raises her legs abnormally high. Additionally, she has what is called a parrot mouth. Her upper jaw extends beyond the lower jaw. Volunteers continue to treat her skin issues which have resulted in loss of fur. Despite her handicaps, Angel is thriving at the farm sanctuary. Both Sweet Pea and Angel have become favorites on the farm. Their rehabilitation continues.
