Humane Society of Columbiana County

Howdy. Hoops here. I am almost a year old. I spend my days playing with my buddy Reed and dreaming for the day when someone comes in to see me. I get along great with other dogs!

Holly is currently in recovery today at Adamsons Veterinary Services in Salem. Dr. Brooks amputated the leg above the knee. While she was under anesthesia today she was also spayed. Holly will remain at the Vet’s office overnight and should be able to come to the adoption center tomorrow.

***WARNING*** What you are about to read and see will anger and sicken you. Late Friday Agent Jan Palmer discovered Holly, a 6 year old Beagle/Jack Russel Terrier. The Humane Society received an anonymous tip from a concerned observer. Holly had been living in a rabbit hutch outside. While outside in the hutch she somehow got her leg caught and twisted in the wire bottom floor. While she struggled to get herself free, Holly broke her leg. Her owners, unwilling to provide her with medical care, hid her inside the house in the basement. In pain, brave Holly did the only thing her instinct to survive demanded; she chewed her own leg off. The male owner told Agent Palmer, “I thought she was going to die for a few days, but she didn’t.” Holly was taken immediately to the Veterinarian’s office. Her leg bone is exposed and the remainder will need to be amputated Monday morning. She is on a strong antibiotic and pain reliever so she can rest comfortably at the Vet’s office tonight. We will keep you updated as soon as we know more from the Vet in the morning. I want all who read this to be vigilant and call if you suspect animal cruelty or neglect. For every Holly of the world, there are dozens of others that suffer in secret. To report animal cruelty or neglect call Agent Palmer at 330.831.2613

They call me Nala. I am a 100 percent all American blend! Everyone at the adoption center sees something different in my. I am an overgrown puppy. I came to the humane society because when my family had a baby they no longer had time for me. I was just a bother and no longer loved. They are the ones who missed out. I am great with kids. I have went into schools when the Humane Agent talks about proper animal care and am enjoyed by all. I do not always take the best pictures so take the drive to meet me face to face. I look forward to meeting you.

My name is Darby. I am a 3yr old tail never stops waggin’ Cocker Spaniel! Before coming to the adoption center I was living in a garage unable to go outside to run, play or use the bathroom. My life was changed overnight for the better. Now I get to experience all the joys I have missed. I hear that when I get a family to love me that I get to live in a home and maybe have a dog bed of my own. I can hardly wait!
