The Animals of Tiny Paws

Our animals are not available for adoption.

Daisy When Daisy came to Tiny Paws we thought she was completely blind. After some TLC and medications, we found that she could see out of her left eye. Her right eye lid was fused to the tissue underneath and would not open. Although she will never be able to see out of both eyes, she functions well.	Gracie Gracie was one of 60 dogs from a hoarding case. She is a young beagle/chihuahua mix that is settling in well.	Maisy When Maisy arrived at the sanctuary her head was tilted. Its remained that way but the doctors are unsure why. It doesn't seem to cause her any pain or discomfort
Sadie Sadie is a senior basset of 12 years old. She has arthritis, bad ears, and a collapsing trachea among other age related problems	Lucy and Ethel Both girls are seramas, the smallest of chicken breed. They just hatched 3 chicks.	Wally Wally was found at Walmart. He was severely matted and the vet believes he was hit by a car. He was treated and came to Tiny Paws to live. He is a senior.
Naomi Naomi was a pregnant cat that was dumped at the sanctuary. She gave birth to 4 kittens with only one surviving. Deacon is her son.	Deacon Deacon is Naomi's son. He has vision problems because of a genetic defect.	Dolly Dolly was unable to walk when she came to Tiny Paws. She had two torn ACL's and had very little strength in her legs. At first, she scooted in the direction she wanted to go, but in a few months she had gained enough strength in her left leg to walk short distances. She is on medication for pain and is getting stronger every day.
Yodi Yodi originally came to TP from a rescue in Kentucky to train to be an emotional support dog. However, he came with unexpected problems. He is a fear biter and can be very possessive of his human. We are working with him, but even if he doesn't become an ESD, he will always have a home with us.	Solomon King Solomon is s Serama Frizzle Rooster, one of the smallest breed of chickens. He likes to think of himself as the guard rooster and lets us know if company has arrived	King David & His Hens King David takes care of his 16 hens. We sell their farm fresh eggs to help pay for their upkeep
Oliver Oliver is completely blind in his left eye and partially blind in the right. He functions very well with him disability	Jolene Jolene came from a bad and urgent situation. She is young and very shy. We hope to get her a cage mate soon.	Pansy Pansy was adopted to be a companion to Jolene.
Miracle Miracle lost her right eye as a kitten. She can see well from her left eye and functions well.	Josie Josie is a young chihuahua mix that came to the sanctuary 4 years ago. She has no special needs.	Tiger/Baby Kitty Tiger has a history of inflammatory bowel that gives her frequent diarrhea. She is also about the size of a six month old kitten, but is healthy otherwise.
Ziggy Ziggy was born with a deviated septum which makes it difficult to breath. There is no cure.	Elsie Elsie is deaf, asthmatic and has an enlarged heart. Because of her medical conditions, she has remained the size of a 6-8 month old kitten. The doctors believe that Elsie has a nasal cancer. The prednisolone she takes for her asthma is the treatment for the cancer. She has already out lived the lifespan predictions of her vets.	Bear Bear was one of 23 dogs rescued from a hoarder. The dogs were in horrid condition and covered in urine, feces, and fleas. Not only did all the animals have respiratory problems but skin infections, allergies and hair loss. He has some behavioral problems as a result of his experience. He was recently diagnosed with canine cognitive dysfunction or dementia. He is on medication to help with that condition.
Clover Clover came to us with a ruptured eye. Thankfully his eye healed and didn't have to be removed. He did lose some vision but doesn't let that stop him.	Chloe Chloe came to Tiny Paws with Chichi after her mom passed away. Chloe has been grieving deeply and needs patience and love to help her adjust to her new life. She is on 2 medications to help her with her anxiety.	Lulu Lulu was a pregnant foster who had 5 puppies while here at Tiny Paws. She was an aggressive fear biter, so she remained at our sanctuary instead of going to rescue in PA.
Teddy Teddy was abandoned by his previous owner and left completely heartbroken. Over time, he gained the confidence to become the leader of the pack. He leads the pack in a daily howl which brings peace to them all.	Brody Brody came to the sanctuary very frightened. It took patience and time, but we won his trust. He's a senior now and doing well for his age.	Nutmeg Nutmeg is blind in one eye and has a scar in the other but functions very well in spite of it.
Azumi Azumi is a healthy house cat who loves her cat tree.	Sassy Sassy has a malformed kidney along with other associated difficulties. She must be on a prescription diet to stay healthy
