A dog named Cherry was so terrified, she wouldn’t stop shaking when she arrived at the Clermont County Animal Shelter. Her skin was bright red from a bad case of mange, a painful skin disease caused by an infestation of mites.
“She was hard to get out of her kennel because she was so fearful,” said a shelter volunteer to The Dodo. [1]
But with a little time and patience, Cherry’s shiny personality slowly began to come through.
“At the park bench that first day taking her out was when I realized her infinite love for balls,” said shelter volunteer Megan Dashley. “With time, she began to let her guard down and became a fan of so many volunteers. She would roughhouse and romp around in play-group and she was just a light.”
The good news is, Cherry has been adopted! [2]
Companion animals crave the love of a family and the safety of a home.
The tragic reality is far too many homeless dogs and cats will never have the chance to allow their bright personalities to shine through.
Homeless dogs and cats live each day in a desperate struggle just to survive on the scary, dangerous streets, or confined in shelters, desperately awaiting a home that may never come.
That’s why our mission is to end the number 1 cause of suffering and death for dogs and cats -- overpopulation -- by developing a permanent-lasting birth control cookie that will only need to be eaten one time, and it will in effect spay or neuter -- without surgery.
Thanks so much for caring about animals!
