Donation Challenge for Norman “Noodles”

Clarksville, TN – The Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County pulled me from Montgomery County Animal Control yesterday morning. I just wasn’t feeling as chipper as a pup my age should, and my foster mom noticed right away.

I tested positive for PARVO, but fortunately they caught it early and I have been given a really good prognosis. This is a scary virus though and a lot of my puppy friends die from it every year, so I have to stay at the hospital over the weekend for IV fluids, antibiotics and monitoring to make SURE I receive around-the-clock care.

Donation Challenge for Buddy

Clarksville, TN – Hello Friends! The picture below was taken the day the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County came to my aid… I was a scrawny puppy with a broken leg. Who would want me, right? I was battered and broken, but my new friends were on a mission to show me that my life had far more value than I had been shown in my short 6 months of life.

I immediately fell in love with my foster mom that day at the Humane Society office and climbed right into her lap. She worked tirelessly over the last few months getting me back and forth to weekly vet appointments, helping me potty during those early days with the cast, and trying to keep me as still as possible when my wiggly butt just wanted to play-play-play… cast or no cast!
