We think all of the animals at Animal Welfare and the Humane Society are very special but every once in awhile we get an extra special dog that we all love but for reasons we can never understand, they don’t get adopted as quickly as we would expect. Our main goal is to find homeless animals their new families that will love them and treat them like a part of their family. So when a great dog like Rexford is with us for 4 months we tell everyone we know about him so that he can start his new life with his Forever Family.
Rexford is a tricolor Jack Russell Terrier who is about 3 ½ years old. He is a spunky little dog that was found running the streets of Stillwater. During a health assessment he tested positive for heart worms. This broke our hearts but thanks to a generous person in the community, we were able to afford to treat Rexford. The next step was keeping him calm for 4 weeks while he recovered. This was not an easy task considering Rexford is a very happy Jack Russell and he didn’t understand that he was sick and needed to stay calm in order for the medicines to take care of his heart worms. But Rexford was a good patient and he has now recovered, is already started on heart worm preventative so that he will never have to be calm again! He is more then ready to start the next chapter in his life in a wonderful home. Because Rexford has been with us for so long, he has started to do spins in his kennel. This is a sign that our little Rexford is stressed and is more then ready to find his new home. We all want more than anything for him to find a loving family that will give this great little dog a chance in his new healthy life.
We do need help to keep many wonderful animals happy and healthy until we can place them in their Forever Homes. Our current needs list includes: Paper towels, small dog treats used for training, medium dog collars, high efficiency laundry detergent, hand sanitizer and of course volunteers.
