OWEN: an adoption success story!

Do you remember Owen, who came to us in March? An owner-surrender from Southern Illinois, we noticed a limp once he was in our care. Xrays showed his hip had been broken before coming to us, and had not healed properly. Our vets performed surgery in early April, and he recovered in a loving foster home.


We are excited to share that Owen was adopted last week and is in a home with a brother that is as big as he is!

Because of donors like you were are able to go above and beyond to give him the surgery and care he needed to live a long and healthy life.

Does your child love animals?


Each Let’s Learn! box contains everything you need to explore various animal related topics with your child in the convenience and safety of your own home. You’ll find a learning plan for parents and all the materials for each activity.
