Have you been following Simon's story on the Greater Birmingham Humane Society page? What an inspiration this poor little guy is! So thankful he was rescued and is now on the mend! GO SIMON!! Visit their page for the latest updates!
This is Simon. We rescued him Saturday from the streets of Fairfield after a citizen posted a video of him limping across an intersection. Our vet team thinks he is only a year old, but his face tells the story of one much older. Simon has demodectic mange and severe heartworms along with a fractured pelvis and leg. The injuries to Simon's pelvis and leg are likely over six-months-old. He is teaching us all about suffering, forgiveness, recovery, redemption, and healing - - a metaphor for what many celebrated this past Easter weekend.
The Greater Birmingham Humane Society staff are committed to Simon's recovery, and we are grateful to you for helping us find him and save him. Simon will receive weekly medicated baths and oral medications. The severity of the mange and other injuries has left Simon's immune system compromised, but we're hopeful that with time, care and your help Simon will make a full recovery! Be on the lookout for more information on Simon and click here to donate http://ow.ly/g38w50zd0dm

Update from NWS Birmingham on the Severe threat for Easter Sunday.
Just saw this! Happening today and tomorrow!
BIRMINGHAM – It's grown into one of the biggest events in Birmingham, and this year the fourth annual Dragon Egg Hunt goes virtual on social media this Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12.
If you read my note this week, you already know that I got tested for "the virus that shall not be named!" I'm SUPER HAPPY and RELIEVED to report, the test was NEGATIVE! When I heard the news, I burst into tears and hugged everyone in my family for the first time in what felt like forever. I'm still hearing reports that some people are struggling to get themselves or family members tested. Here is my experience, with links to the clinic I went through. I did not have any trouble and got results in 3 days! Please share if you've had difficulty or if you've had luck here to help others navigate. I just realized this morning that I did not even wish you all a Happy Passover or Easter Weekend in my note, b/c quarantine just ate this week! So glad it's over (for the time being) and we can catch our breath.

Who needs a toe cleaner? Patrick is all ready for his fur-ever home! Please help us find this precious pup a home. He was a stray that we rescued off the highway and have been unable to find any owners. He is a gorgeous catahoula mix. See his unique spots? PLEASE SHARE and if you are looking for a pup that's great with kids, he may be the one for you! He likes to play with other dogs, but may need some manners training, b/c he does not like to share his people. He's doing great with cat training. He will do fine with assertive cats who are not afraid to teach him cat manners (we have 3 training him now). If you are interested... he is registered with Sanctuary Animal Rescue. #adoptdontshop
