LOVE OF PAWS NEWEST RESCUE
Beginning Remington's journey to a better quality of life. As of now a scoot cart appears to be our best option as his injuries to his front legs do not appear to be repairable to use a wheel chair. Braces may also be used, but for now laser treatments, massage therapy, supplements, and pain management are underway. Reconvene with Dr. Amber next Tuesday to see his progress before we move forward with braces and such. |
|
Thank you to the amazing team and Dr. Amber at Treasure Coast Animal Rehab and Fitness for bringing hope for a better quality of life to Remington's final years. Anyone who would like to make donations to the Love of Paws team Remington recovery and treatment can contact Treasure Coast Animal Rehab and Fitness at 772-492-6066. #nevergiveup #teamremington

NEVER GIVE UP ON A LOST PET
LOVE OF PAWS was contacted by a Homeless person living in a Homeless Camp who asked for Cat Food for a Camp Cat that had been hanging around for over a year. We brought Cat food to the Camp and met Jack or Jackelyn (They never checked) and suggested we also help provide a rabies shot, worming, flea meds, and spaying thru Dr Dans Animal Hospital. At the Hospital a CHIP was discovered and we learned that (HER NAME IS REALLY SWEETIE) moved with her Family over a year ago from California to Palm Bay FL. In a new environment, got lost on Feb. 9th, 2018. The HAPPY REUNION was made this morning 5/17/18 with her Mom. NEVER GIVE UP ON A LOST CAT! and the Homeless person is also Happy that the cat he had been caring for all this time is loved by a family and wanted! HAPPY TAILS!

Our Sanctuary
We currently supply Pet Food to 18 Area Food Banks along with fostering/adopting and providing Sanctuary for Pets, many of who find themselves alone and scared after losing their Senior Owners.
We are going thru the process of being approved by the Treasure Coast Food Bank (A USDA Facility) which would enable us to provide Public Monthly Distribution of Pet Food to individuals along with the Food Banks we currently supply. We plan to start in Fellsmere and expand to Gifford and other areas.
We look forward to having our first Open House sometime this Summer. Thank You For Your Past and Continued Support as we continue to expand to provide and help more!
