Angels Among Us Pet Hostel

Testimonials

Our first placement was "Kiko". He's a young vibrant yellow lab mix that was orginally a rescue dog. His human mom was diagnosed with cancer and during her treatments was unable to care for Kiko. Her brother contacted us, explaining he could not keep Kiko in his apartment. We arranged for foster care, and we are happy to tell you, Kiko is now home with mom and she is doing much better. Your donations made this possible.

“Muff” was a sweet 20 year-old tiger cat, who’s elderly owner fell and broke her hip. A member of Angels was asked to care for the cat while the owner was in the hospital and going through rehab. “Muff” was in foster care when it was noticed that she was crying a lot and urinating almost straight blood. When she was taken to the veterinarian, she was found to be in renal failure. With the age of the cat, the only humane thing to do was to release her from the severe pain she was in. After a visit to the owner at the rehab center, and her signing the papers for the vet, “Muff” went to be in a better place with no pain.

We make sure that the people that foster pets through Angels know how to care for the pets. If this cat had been alone, and no one to watch out for her, her cries would have gone unnoticed and the bleeding never would have been seen. The foster person sat and talked to “Muff” and held her as she went to sleep, making sure she was not alone. Many thanks to all of those who have offered to foster animals.

A page came in. It was an advocate at the Council on Aging. She had a woman that had been admitted to the hospital and needed to go to rehab. When the woman was taken to the hospital, her 14 year-old beagle was placed in a kennel. The woman refused to enter rehab, until she knew the dog had been taken out of the kennel and placed in a loving foster care home. The problem, she was scheduled to move to rehab the next morning.
A massive email was sent to our many support people, and within 15 minutes, we had someone who wanted to take this lovely 14 year-old, four-legged lady into their home.

At the last minute, a family member offered to take the dog, but not knowing how that will work out; the lines of communication are still open for fostering.
