Animals

Who is Joey?

MCHS has established a special fund to support those animals that are in need of extra care and medical treatment. The fund was named in memory of a very special dog, Joey, who in his short life touched us all. To read more about Joey, click on the button to the left.

The following are special need animals that require extra medical care and/or a special home.

Your generous support can help these wonderful pets find their happy endings!

"Orlon" is a special cat looking for a special home. This sweetly shy nine-year-old female has been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure, a condition where her kidneys don't work as well as they should. While this is a serious condition, it is also treatable, and Orlon could happily live for years with proper care (which includes feeding her a special commercially prepared food and having blood work done every six months to monitor her kidneys). Orlon deserves a chance at a forever home. She was relinquished to the shelter a year ago when her owner went to a nursing home. She has lived in a foster home since then, and she has proven herself a gentle and affectionate cat. If you're looking for a cat to sit beside you on the couch and quietly purr while you watch tv or read, Orlon is the cat for you. She also gets along well with dogs and other cats. If you think you'd like to give Orlon a loving forever home, contact Kate @ kateluse@comcast.net /301.620.4043.
"Sasha" is a sweet 10 year old spayed female Shih Tzu being cared for in a foster home. She gets along with adults, children, and other dogs. She is quiet and calm and likes to be pet. She likes to ride in the car and is used to being groomed. This type of dog will need to be professionally groomed every 4-6 weeks. She is current on her medicals, spayed, and micro chipped. She just needs to find her forever home. She is friendly and has never bitten anyone. If you would like to add her to your family contact her foster Elise @ fattylovescake@aol.com for more information.
