Pets Of The Week: Saturn And Shiloh

Saturn is a magical stardusted snuggle-loving 2.5-year-old gal who’s been through more twists and turns than the rings of her namesake planet. When she first arrived, she was badly injured and battling heartworm.

And then thanks to her incredible medical foster family, Saturn recovered like the true space queen she is! Now, she’s nearly finished with her heartworm treatment and is ready to launch into a forever home Read More
