                           A Note from Button

 Do you have a story and photo you would like to share about your  OPR adopted pup or dog?  We're looking for some laughs, maybe some tears, how they have changed your life, how they have touched your heart.  We will post your photo on our home page and story to the Your OPR Adoption Story page to share with all of our visitors.  Maybe, just maybe, you'll inspire someone to share their life with a homeless dog. Please send a photo and your story to: OhioPuppyRescue@aol.com

 

                         

 Your Donations Help Support Our Community Projects

 2011 was a year of great success and impact on the community through Ohio Puppy Rescue.   

*****We expanded the Ohio Puppy Rescue Spay/Neuter Fund to include partnership with Pikes Friends, Pike Co. Humane Association, Shawnee Animal Hospital, Animal Shelter Society and Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital to provide free spay and neutering.  Our efforts have now opened up a "no questions asked" service to six Counties in Ohio for those who wish to have their dog altered.

 *****We work with and financially support both Pilots N Paws and Animal Rescue Flights.  These 501(c)(3) organizations support volunteer pilots who assist with transporting rescues from all over the country. 

*****We continued our educational program at the elemtary school level in the Columbus area, which focus on puppy mills and the drive to spay and neuter pets.  We celebrate the education of over 3000 students.  It is our belief that the youth of our country are the ones who will bring an end to puppy mills and request a "Pay It Forward" commitment from all who attend the presentation.  This means that over 6000 people will learn that Pets Are Not Products in 2011 alone! 

*****We provided financial support to Chances Angel Rescue & Education (C.A.R.E.) in North Carolina to help defer medical costs and assist in their efforts to eliminate the use of gas chambers in the Person County Shelter. 

*****We donated three pet recovery oxygen mask kits to three local fire departments

   In order to continue our efforts in supporting our community, the rescue community, and the pet over population, additional funding is required. We need continuous and generous donations in order to sustain our life-changing work into 2012 and future years.  Please consider a donation to enable our work to continue.  Donations can be made by adopting one of our wonderful rescues or directly by sending a gift through PayPal.  If you wish to send a check, please contact us via email for a mailing address.

REWARD

Jack escaped from a fenced in back yard on Branding Iron Drive in Galloway Friday morning, December 9.  He was last seen on Saturday, 12/17, around Hall Rd and Cypress Ridge Place.  He is a scared little boy but might follow another dog.  If you see him or can lure him into a confined area, please call 614-218-8755.  We are offering a $100 reward for his capture. 

Santa Paws at Tuttle MallJack

If you find Jack and wish to keep him, we will forgo the adoption fee for a qualified applicant.  Register on the site and apply for him.  Yes, no adoption fee.  We want to reward a well meaning person and find Jack a home.  We also want to know he's okay.  We're worried sick.

It Takes A Village to Save a Life

We can only rescue what we have room for in our homes.  Because of this, many dogs are turned away each week.  This is the time of year when many of our foster volunteers take a break until spring, leaving us with little to no foster homes for our rescues.  Many of our foster volunteers work full time outside the home so it is possible to hold a job, foster, and support your family and personal life.  OPR provides everything you need to tend to the pups except your love and attention.

  Smash
Smash is a darling who is in heaven when he's by your side.  He loves to give kisses and wags his little stubby tail whenever people are around.  He's great with his small foster mates and will be great with humans and other animals.  Smash is a well balanced pup and deserves a fabulous home. He has the extra skin that bulldogs have but not the medical issues which come with heavy wrinkles.  Smash has the body of a bully and a face of both breeds.  He loves to play with ...read more about Smash
  Mufasa
Still working on getting a good picture of Mufasa but at least I got a video of him and fostermates playing in the snow today and boy did they love the outdoor excerise.  Mufasa is a little more reserved of the four but does take treats out of his foster moms hand when offered.  He loves to be cuddled and will make a great pet for an active family.  I will continue to get a good still picture of him.

  Nala
King Schnauzer is the designer breed for this wonderful little girl.  She is the smallest of the four in her foster home but the most adventurous.  Nala has been the first to take a treat from her foster mom.  She loves to romp and play with her fostermates.  She may be finding her furever home soon but would like for you to consider Mufasa because he too has the great personality of the Cavalier King Charles and the coat of the Schnauzer. If you  are vie...read more about Nala
  Tess
It is due to unfortunate circumstances that brings Tess to us.  Her Mom is suffering from cancer and as much as the family would like to keep her, they have found that there is no time left for Tess.  This is quite a sacrifice for the family but they know it's not fair to Tess because she deserves better.  Tess loves everyone and everything.  She would be happiest with an active family, perhaps one which includes someone who jogs.  She loves her walks and is not a barker...read more about Tess
