A MOTHER'S DAY MIRACLE

It's never too late to celebrate moms! On Mother's Day this year, we received a one day old kitten as a stray with no mom or siblings. We knew his chance of survival without a mom would be quite low, so we called one our foster parents who had a newly nursing mom, Chelsea.

Chelsea had a litter of 6 kittens on May 5th, so they were only a few days older than our little bottle baby. Foster parent brought Chelsea and her kittens in to see if she would accept this little guy as her own. After a few minutes, she let him crawl right up to her and nurse. Moms are simply incredible! Our little stray is now being cared for by Chelsea and her wonderful foster parents.

SAVING BRAND NEW LIVES

On Monday, April 12th, after one live birth and hours of off and on labor and complications with one of our shelter dogs, SafeHaven's Lead Veterinarian, Dr. Corriher performed our first on-site emergency c-section. She and her team were able to safely bring three more puppies into this world. Here are the first two puppies born by c-section being kept warm with the help of SafeHaven Veterinary Asistant, Morgan Hoffman. All of the puppies and mom luckily found a loving foster home right away and have been doing wonderfully!
