My Story
Everyone welcome Minnie!! Minnie is a super sweet 10 year old female Maltese mix that was rescued out of Inland Valley Animal Shelter with a host of problems. She had a potato sized mammary tumor which was removed (including the entire string) as well as really bad dental disease (she had a dental) and spay. Once healed, we will had her taken back to our vet for x-rays (as she has a slight limp we are concerned about) and it was determined that she has a congenital defect that cannot be fixed. No matter, as Minnie gets about just fine. Minnie is what we would consider a perfect purse dog. She loves to be carried and loved, and at only 5 pounds, she makes it easy. She is all people and dog friendly and just a loving little gal. She would love a home that will dote on her for the rest of her days as this is what she deserves. Her first 10 years of her life, didn’t appear to be the best. Minnie has been spayed, had surgery to remove mammary tumors as well as an extreme dental, is up to date on vaccinations and is also microchipped. She will likely be on heart meds forever as she has a murmur but it doesn’t slow her down and she is a good girl about taking her meds. If interested in meeting or adopting this sweet senior girl, please go to www.lolr.org and fill out an adoption application.

Halloween Safety Tips
October 17, 2017 By 1 Comment
Halloween can be the spookiest night of the year, but keeping your pets safe doesn’t have to be tricky. The ASPCA recommends taking these simple, common sense precautions to keep your pet happy and healthy all the way to November 1.
Stash the Treats
The candy bowl is for trick-or-treaters, not Scruffy or Fluffy. Several popular Halloween treats are toxic to pets. Chocolate in all forms—especially dark or baking chocolate—can be very dangerous for cats and dogs, and sugar-free candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause serious problems in pets. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately.
