This past week we took in a little black and white Kitten that is four months old. She was an owner surrender and in desperate need of medical attention.

Recently we took in a shih-tzu named Lilly. Lilly is a beautiful black and white girl that craves attention she is approximately 7 to 8 years old. Lilly was an owner surrender; it seems she did not to like to stay home and the owner did not want her to get hit by a car.
From the day Lilly came in she had many people interested in her. Lilly was scheduled to go home with her new family once she had seen the vet and had been spayed. Yes, you heard me right at age 7-8 Lilly had still not been spayed. Lilly and I spent time at the vet yesterday for a thorough exam and vaccinations, the next week she is scheduled for her spay.
