Meet Lady and Todd - these two pups tragically lost their owner a few days ago and are in desperate need of the perfect home. Ideally together if possible.

Their owner was a devoted dog dad, taking them everywhere, even to places like Publix and their favorite ice cream shop, Dreamette. They were often seen in Avondale, heads out of the car window, wearing sunglasses and sporting booties. They miss him terribly, but are happy and hopeful for their new home!

Sweet Penelope joined the shelter approximately a year ago as a puppy, discovered alongside her brother under a bridge.After being adopted, she faced adversity when she was surrendered back to the shelter on May 1. The reason? She had ingested an 18″ sock or stocking, causing a significant blockage in her stomach. Remarkably, she endured two weeks without eating before her owner sought veterinary assistance.Unfortunately, the financial burden of the necessary veterinary treatment led to her return to the shelter.Fortunately, she underwent emergency surgery and is currently recuperating.

An allergy occurs when our immune system reacts to foreign substances called allergens. When the body tries to get rid of these substances, it triggers a variety of symptoms, such as itching, rashes, watery eyes, or upset stomach. We all know that allergens affect humans, but did you know that your pet can develop allergies? The symptoms can be very concerning for pet owners, resulting in many cherished felines and canines being rushed to see the vet at an emergency animal hospital in Jacksonville. The good news is, once the allergies are diagnosed, there are treatments available that can make your pet much more comfortable.
