TROY — Laber of Love Pet Rescue was formally established by Troy citizen Nicole Laber in August of 2019 with an objective to provide the old or ill shelter animals a location to spend their last days or months so that they do not pass away without understanding they are liked.
The objective of Laber of Love Pet Rescue is to offer hospice care to older animals or those with untreatable medical conditions that discover themselves without a family; to enable these animals to live out the rest of their lives with love, self-respect and convenience by supplying a safe home and required treatment and to offer education to the general public concerning the care of these animals.
“We are all volunteers with a passion to help care for senior shelter pets so they can live out their best lives until we say goodbye. Our goal is to help as many shelter pets as we have Fospice homes for,” composed Joe Laber in his yearly development update.
“We are always looking for loving and caring people to open up their hearts and homes to these amazing pets” states Founder, Board Member and Treasurer Nicole Laber. “We supply all the vet care, and dietary needs and the hospice home supplies the love and care.”
You can learn more and discover our Fospice Family application online at www.laberoflovepetrescue.com. You can likewise email our Fospice care organizer at [email protected] with any concerns.
The 2nd part of our objective is to offer education to the general public concerning the care of these senior animals. One method we do this is with our month-to-month Humane Education Blog, which can be discovered on our website at laberofpetrescue.com. You can likewise fulfill our board members and animals we’ve taken care of and lost through the years there also.
During 2022, Laber of Love Pet Rescue welcomed 10 new animals and six brand-new Fospice families into the Laber of Love family. Unfortunately, four animals passed away while under our care during the year, but they knew love until the very end thanks to their amazing Fospice families. We currently have 10 dogs and two cats in our care who have various medical conditions.
Throughout the year, many of the pets in our care underwent surgeries or other medical procedures. This includes Roger, an elderly coonhound mix who had a 6 pound mass removed from his side. Prior to surgery, Roger‘s mobility was limited by the mass. Since the removal of the mass, Roger’s quality of life has dramatically improved. He is now happier and can move around freely and lie down comfortably.
While we do not put a price on the comfort and care of our animals, this procedure and others added up quickly, the report said. Our total veterinary costs, including the medications and supplements our pets require, for 2022 were $15,117.40. The total spent to feed our pets was $2,518.53.
We are thankful for the monetary donations and grants that we have received which allow us to continue to care for the pets in our care in the best possible way. If you would like to contribute, donations can be made directly on our website at laberoflovepetrescue.com or by mailing them to us at P.O. Box 115, Troy, OH 45373. Other ways to support Laber of Love’s pets can be found on our website as well, including our Amazon Wish List.
We invite the entire family to join us on Saturday, March 4, at Staunton Grange Hall in Troy for The Toy Chest Trauma Mystery Dinner Adventure. Tickets will be available on our website till the occasion is offered out.
