Violet's Second Chance

We spoke with Dr. Rog this week at the Lakewood Animal Hospital about Violet's eye.

When Violet was hit by a car last November, the right side of her head probably had contact with the tire which caused her jaw and eye injury. Although Dr. Rog still feels her eye may heal over time, but it's difficult to determine if she can see from her right eye or if she will require surgery, in the future.

Pick MeMe!

My foster mom says that I am a snuggle monster. The only thing I might love more than snuggling is rolling over and attacking my toys. I have great litter box manners and I love other kitties. I am very brave. I found my way from an on ramp to a kind lady's house. She found me playing in her water fountain and let me come inside with her kitties. I soon learned I love other kitties and to chase toys around the room. It took a while for the road rash on my paws to heal, but I soon learned I love being spoiled rotten! It all became about me. Which is how I became named Meme. I am looking forward to meeting you! Recently spayed, I'm now ready for adoption. Email us at CCLASpets@gmail.com.

Big or Small, We Have Your New Best Friend!

Animals are waiting at the Lakewood Animal Shelter to meet their new best friend - YOU! King and Hera are just two of the many homeless animals available for adoption.

King is a large, handsome boy. He's friendly, likes to play and gets along great with other dogs. A little nervous at the shelter, he can be a bit vocal when you first meet him, but that's just King's way of saying "HI!"

Hera is a gorgeous tortoiseshell Manx, with a unique shortened tail. She's friendly and gets along well with other cats, but has her "sassy" moments...and with a face that pretty, who can blame her?
