A healthy female Great Dane should weigh around 10 A healthy female Great Dane should weigh around 100โ€“130 lbs, but when Paisley arrived, she weighed only 65 lbs. She was so thin, so fragile, seeing her like that made our staff want to cry. ๐Ÿ’” Every ounce of her pain was visible, and all we wanted was to wrap her in love and never let her go hungry again. Thanks to the tireless care of her incredible foster family and our team, Paisley has gained 17.2 lbs, now weighing 82.2 lbs and cleared for adoption! Every pound tells the story of her healing, resilience, and the love that surrounds her. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿพ Paisley is a gentle giant with the softest heart. She thrives on affection, is wonderful with children, loves other dogs, and has impeccable house manners. Fully potty trained and crate trained, she settles in like she has always been part of the family. She gives love freely and asks for nothing but your kindness in return. Paisley is ready to leave her painful past behind and finally find the forever home she has always deserved, a place where she will always be fed, safe, and cherished. ๐Ÿ’™ Could you be the one to give Paisley the life she has been waiting for? ๐Ÿ”— Learn more or apply to meet Paisley: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs #GreatDane #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #GentleGiant #HealingWithLove #FureverHome

๐Ÿ’œ February is National Cat Health Awareness Month, ๐Ÿ’œ February is National Cat Health Awareness Month, and we want to shine a light on some amazing FIV-positive cats who are full of love, energy, and personality! ๐Ÿพ Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) affects a catโ€™s immune system, but it doesnโ€™t slow them down or mean they canโ€™t live long, healthy, happy lives. FIV is most commonly spread through deep bite wounds from an FIV-positive cat or from a FIV-positive mother cat to her kittens. It is not spread through casual contact like grooming or sharing food bowls, so with a safe, stress-free environment, FIV-positive cats thrive just like any other cat. Some of our fantastic FIV-positive cats ready to meet their forever homes include: ๐Ÿฑ Padre & Oakland (Bonded pair) ๐Ÿฑ Tyler (Located at Pet Supplies Plus Kettering) ๐Ÿฑ Malachai (Located at MeowZa! Cat Boutique) Tips for keeping an FIV-positive cat healthy: โœจ Minimize stress: A calm routine and cozy space go a long way. โœจ Monitor for illness: Knowing your catโ€™s behavior helps you catch small changes early. โœจ Regular vet visits: Preventive care and checkups keep your cat strong and happy. These cats are proof that FIV doesnโ€™t hold them back, they just want love, cuddles, and a family to call their own. ๐Ÿ’• Find your purr-fect companion: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats #FIVPositiveCats #CatHealthAwareness #AdoptDontShop #HSDayton #FelineLov
