Patches got out of the house while her owner was recovering from surgery.  Patches was hit by a car and brought to the vet by a passerby who saw her get hit.  She had two broken bones and was displaying symptoms of shock.  Missy's HEART began funding her treatment as if she were a stray, and after her owner was found we were able to offer a voucher to cover the majority of funding for Patches's surgery.  We were so happy when Patches was able to go home! 

Snickers is a sweet, beautiful cat that was dumped with her two kittens at a farm outside of town.  She has found her forever home with a loving family and is absolutely adored by the grandmother of the home.  She is getting spoiled rotten, and we couldn't be happier to hear it!  We are so thrilled that Snickers will live the rest of her life in luxury!

Taco is a sweet senior dog that was found wandering emaciated and overgrown with thick mats in his fur.  We were not able to find his previous owners, and it appeared that he had been on his own for a long time.  Taco has now found his forever home with his new mom!  She found his old-man antics and attitude very charming!  Have a great rest of your life, Taco!

Reeses and Hershey are biological sisters that arrived with their mother when they were young kittens.  They were all dumped at a farm outside of town and were surrendered to keep the kittens safe from coyotes.  Reeses and Hershey were able to be adopted together, which is so very wonderful - as they are very closely bonded.  Have a great life in your new home, you two!

Edgar is the last of his litter to find a home, and we are proud to report he has finally found his forever-home!  His new family fell in love with how playful and vocal Edgar is!  He was a little scared when it was time to leave, and it is bittersweet to see him go.  He doesn't know it yet, but he has a lifetime of cuddles, toys, and playing with his new housemate to look forward to! 

Linea is a beautiful female cat with large eyes.  She was originally a mother when she was found wandering outside.  Her litter was successfully adopted but Linea was still searching for her home!  She finally found her forever-home with a wonderful lady!  She later told us that Linea settled in right away and started following her around the house on her first day home!  We were so happy! 

Sassy was found wandering around the local hospital.  Flyers were put out but no one ever claimed her.  She is a very sweet and excitable girl.  She LOVES attention and being held.  Her face and ears are very expressive, and she wiggles her whole body when she wags her tail.  She has found her forever home and she could not be happier!  She was completely relaxed in their arms for the first time since her surrender!

Slingshot was found by the road after being hit by a car.  He had a broken back leg and a broken tail.  His tail was broken at the base just above the pelvis, meaning he had nerve damage.  Originally, he had difficulty urinating and defecating, but with time, treatment, and rehabilitation he is now a fully functional kitty!  He is so sweet, and we are so happy he has finally found his forever home!

Gambit was found as a tiny, sick kitten with a runny nose and crusted-over eyes.  It took some time for him to fully recover, but once he did NOTHING could keep him down!  He loves to play and cuddle and enjoys living life to the fullest!  He was adopted into a wonderful home with kids and a big brother kitty!  He will hopefully live a long and happy life full of playing, snuggling, and love!

Cookie was found as a bottle baby with her siblings.  They were infested with an intestinal parasite called Coccidia which took a while to fully treat.  Cookie caught the attention of her new owner who was looking for a loving, calico kitten she could call "Cookie."  We are so happy Cookie has found her forever home where she will be spoiled and pampered!

Xena was rushed into surgery with a life-threatening condition called a pyometra - a potentially fatal infection of the uterus.  Her uterus was inflamed, swollen, and filled with pus.  Luckily, her family noticed the signs and got her to the vet quickly enough that they were able to remove the infected organ without incident.  With some funding help from Missy's HEART, Xena was able to go home with her family a little sore but expected to make a full recovery!

Babe was one of the first dogs to be surrendered to Missy's HEART.  He is a sweet, elderly boy with some minor health problems and deficits in his vision and hearing.  Because he is 15-years-old, we were worried he may not be adopted.  However, he has found a perfect forever-home with someone who wants to pamper and care for him in his remaining years!

Miss Harry and her clowder were abandoned when their owners moved.  They are currently being cared for by a kind-hearted neighbor who noticed Miss Harry was looking a little sickly.  She had a series of wounds on her front leg and she was infested with lice.  Missy's HEART helped fund her treatment and her spay so that her caretaker could continue caring for all the kitties left behind without baring the financial burden all alone.  Miss Harry made a full recovery and returned home happy as could be!

Harley is a very small blue heeler that began having trouble with her labor.  We now suspect that a much larger male helped in the puppy-making process, as one of her puppies was HUGE and very stuck!  Poor Harley needed an emergency C-section to save her life.  Unfortunately, Harley's puppies did not survive, but Harley was able to make a full recovery!  Missy's HEART helped fund her surgery and she was able to return home soon after.

Moose was surrendered due to severe aggression between him and his housemate.  Although they got along well as puppies, having two intact males reach maturity at the same time can lead to dangerous fighting.  Moose is now living the good life on a farm where he can be top dog amongst the barnyard animals!

Soup is a sweet long-haired black kitty that has finally found her forever home!  Soup and her siblings Ringo, Moo, and Edgar Allen Paw were surrendered as tiny kittens around the official launch of Missy's HEART.  Though it took a while, and her brother Edgar is still waiting for his home, Soup was finally adopted and is enjoying the run of the house at last!

Beast was a Great Dane that suffered with severe weight loss and diarrhea.  He was found to have a critical hookworm infection in his intestines, causing him to receive practically none of the nutrients from his food.  After treatment, Beast slowly began putting weight back on and began to act more like his old self.  Sadly, Beast passed away at home over a month later from unknown causes.  Rest in peace, Beast.  We are happy we could help you feel better, even if it was for a short time.

Ebony is a sweet, cuddly dog that had a rough start in life.  She was abandoned, chained outside a local business with some food and water likely in hopes that someone would care for her.  Ebony was adopted by a lovely family at our first adoption event.  However, they returned her a month later after she chewed up some of their clothes.  Ebony is currently being cared for by a staff member and will likely be placed back up for adoption in the future.

Cupcake is a sweet kitten that was found as a bottle-baby.  She and her siblings had a serious infection with a gastrointestinal parasite called Coccidia.  After she was healthy, she was adopted at our first adoption event!  Cupcake loves being carried around, and she will be loved and spoiled by these lovely girls and their dad!

Aretha was found as a bottle-kitten with her brother Franklin.  Franklin unfortunately passed away at an early age, leaving Aretha alone without a family.  Once she was old enough and healthy enough, she was adopted by these lovely ladies at our first adoption event!  We are so thrilled that Aretha has such a bright future ahead of her!

Ringo and her siblings Moo, Soup, and Edgar Allen Paw are all black kitties that were found as very young kittens.  While Moo quickly found her home, Ringo and her other siblings have had to wait quite a while to find their families.  Patience pays off, as Ringo is now living her best life in a home with other kitties and lots of room to play and lounge!

Binky is a sweet rabbit with an uncertain past and a bright future!  He was surrendered around the official launch of Missy's HEART after being rescued from a previous home.  Not much is known about his life before his rescue, but Binky was left with chronic upper-respiratory disease.  We are so happy he found a forever home with an experienced bunny-lover and a new rabbit girlfriend to play with! 

Pugslee seems to have started life with the cards stacked against him.  Shortly after he was adopted from the shelter, his owners noticed he would not play or eat like his sibling.  When they took him to the vet, he had severe anemia.  It was unclear what was causing the anemia and Pugslee needed special testing and blood transfusions.  Unfortunately, Pugslee passed away even after treatment, but Missy's HEART was able to help with the costs of the tests and treatment to reduce the hardship on his family.

Teddy's condition was dire when his family reached out for help.  He was an obese, 16-year-old cat that could no longer stand or walk.  Treatment would be expensive, and given his age he may not have survived.  Missy's HEART was able to help fund PRP and Stem-Cell treatment in Teddy's knees and spine to help get him walking again!  He was able to walk around, jump, and enjoy life with his family for the last few months of his life.  Rest in Peace, Teddy.  We are happy we could help you enjoy your life again!

Tani is a very sweet cat that suddenly became aggressive.  Her behavioral shift was sudden and concerning, and a clear indicator that she was in some sort of medical distress. Tani's family didn't have much money to get her checked out at the vet, due to losing their home at the beginning of summer.  Missy's HEART was able to provide funding for over 70% of Tani's diagnostics and treatment.  Tani was hospitalized and returned home feeling much better!

Grayson's family recently lost everything in a house fire.  That tragic event is bad enough, but Grayson started showing symptoms of a potential gastrointestinal blockage.  Blockages are usually fatal for animals if not treated quickly.  One of the goals of Missy's HEART is to provide assistance so that people in crisis don't have to make the choice between their lives and the lives of their pets.  Thankfully, we were able to pay the majority of the cost and Grayson should make a full recovery!

Buster was surrendered as a tiny kitten after a concerned member of the public saw someone dump him off at the local grocery store.  He was far too young to survive on his own.  Luckily, he quickly found his forever home with Daeton.

These three kittens were surrendered at a very young age just like Moo and her siblings.  Due to their feisty nature, and how close these siblings were to each other, they were adopted together to live as barn cats on a local farm once they were old enough and strong enough to handle themselves outdoors. 

Moo was surrendered alongside her three siblings after being found as tiny strays.  We are unsure if their mother abandoned them or was made unable to care for them due to capture, injury, or death.  Moo quickly found a forever home with her new owner Brandi.  Her siblings are still available for adoption!

Patrick was originally found as a very young kitten (about 2-3 weeks old) on the side of the road alone.  He had swimmers syndrome in his back legs, which prevented him from walking properly - making it likely that his mother abandoned him.  With a lot of care and proper nutrition, Patrick regained the use of his hind legs and is now a happy, athletic boy!  He was adopted by Jessica and her children.

Sylvester and Tweety (originally called Q-Tip and Layla by staff) were surrendered after being found wandering together.  Tweety had a broken pelvis - likely from a vehicular impact - which affected her mobility.  After some time, Tweety's pelvis healed and she and her brother were adopted together by Glenn and Robyn! 

Peg was originally found and surrendered with a deformed front leg.  He had a previous injury that had healed incorrectly and caused his leg to be misshapen.  However, his peg-leg did not stop him from being playful and rambunctious!  When he wanted to play, he would stand up on his hind legs and use his peg-leg to box like a pro-fighter.  He has now found his forever home with Sage, who says he loves to sleep in the sink!

Squirt was found when he was less than a week old.  He fell out of some farming equipment, and there was no sign of his mother or siblings.  He was bottle-raised by staff members at Coffey's Veterinary Center around the clock for four weeks until he was old enough for his first "big boy" meal (picture included).  He has now found his forever home with Addie.

He was found in skin-and-bones condition in a church parking lot. He was extremely vocal and affectionate, and he was eager to be rescued. Once he was a healthy weight, he needed a forever-cuddle-buddy.  He was recently adopted by Kimberly and now enjoys sleeping in the bed with his new best friend!

Ruby was well cared for and had no special needs of her own.  However, her owner's illness caused her to need a new home. She was surrendered from the home of an organ transplant recipient.  This sweet, vocal girl was adopted by Dylan and Mia.  She now enjoys spending time with her dog and cat siblings and lays on her new mom's lap while she works!

Roxie is a sweet, energetic girl who was abandoned when her owners did not come to pick her up after boarding her at the vet office.  For a few months, she helped save lives at the vet office as an on-call doggie blood donor while she waited to find her forever home.  She was adopted by Alan and Anne, and despite some recent growing pains, she has been a great addition to their family!
