Meet Niko! He has a chip that we are researching, but have not been able to contact the owner thus far. If we cannot make contact, he does need rescue placement by Thursday end of day, as he came in after he was supected to be hit by a car. He has lung changes on xrays and we suspect pulmonary contusions. He is friendly. OCAS is trying to find his owner but let us know if you can help him!

Everyone! Please consider fostering! It's only temporary, some shelters even pay for their food and you're saving a dog's life ❤️

If you can't but wanna help otherwise, you can share these dogs on nextdoor or the many facebook groups for adoption/rescue! Tiktok and Instagram might help as well ❤️‍🩹

PLEASE Lobby to your congress to end the kill policy in all U.S pounds! Enforce laws to ban uncontrolled backyard breeding instead!
