Angels of Assisi seeks to change the definition of an animal shelter by offering services to benefit the community and the pets they love.

Angels of Assisi has partnerships across Virginia

Angels of Assisi has partnerships across Virginia and West Virginia to offer affordable #spay and #neuter to #communitiesinneed. Pets and #homelessshelteranimals are gathered at #localshelters and transported to Angels of Assisi to be #spayed and #neutered at #lowcosts. This helps pet owners who want to do their part in controlling #animaloverpopulation, but cannot afford treatment in their area and cannot make the trip to our #clinic. The dogs and cats travel to our #petclinic, receive treatment which always includes #rabiesvaccinations, and will usually go home the same day. Sometimes, sending a four legged family member on a trip alone is scary for a pet owner who is trying to do the right thing. Those owners often leave #specialhandling instructions, or “#lovenotes” on the pet carriers or in the paperwork. To say the least, #ourheartsarewarmed. Here are a few for you to enjoy as well. For more information on our transport partners, visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/spay-neuter-transport/ or view our #eventscalendar at https://www.angelsofassisi.org/event/ #spayneuter #spayandneuter #spayandneuteryourpets #spayneutersaveslives #spayneuteryourpets #rabiesawarenessday #rabies #rabiesawarenessday #vaccinateyourpet #rabiesvaccine #worldrabiesday #endrabiesnow #onehealth4all #WRD2023 #Zeroby30

We want to get to know our #neighbors this #Octobe

We want to get to know our #neighbors this #October! That’s why like last month we're continuing our #AOAAdoptLocalTour by #roamingthetown with the #AngelsAdoptionVan on a tour of #localbusinesses. These events will be completely #opentothepublic. We’ll bring our #adoptableanimals, #hangout with employees and anyone else who want’s to come say hi, and hope to make some #lastingfriendships! Speaking of #friendship, employees of the hosting business will get half off the fee should they choose to #adopt at the event! So far this October, we've got a great lineup! We’ll be starting at the Riverside @carilionclinic on the 6th from 11am to 1:30pm, then returning to visit the Roanoke @mastgeneralstore on the 7th from 11am to 2pm. Then we'll head to lunch at @villagegrillroa on the 14th from 12pm to 3pm, and coffee at @sweetdonkeycoffee on the 20th from 6pm to 8pm. We'll make our way to @biglickbrewingco for a special stop showing #support for #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth with Purr for a Cure on the 22nd from 3pm to 5pm. From there, we'll head towards Salem, VA to hang out at @professionalautosalem on the 25th from 11:30am to 1:30pm, and finish up the month at @@tractorsupply on the 28th from 11am to 2pm. We hope you can come out and meet your #neighbors or even your #newbestfuzzyfriend! #Staytuned for new stops on the #AOAAdoptLocalTour! Want your #business on the tour? Email cjessee@angelsofassisi.org to #putyourbusinessonthemap!

Meet Haven. Every once in a while we have a dog in

Meet Haven. Every once in a while we have a dog in our care who just cannot find the right home. That’s our girl. Haven has unfortunately spent 6 of her 7 years in and out of our shelter. She has been nothing but sweet and as curious as a hound should be during her stay here. She can even go to events and walk around other dogs. However, when she claims someone as her one and only, she means it. She would likely thrive in a home with a single adult. She’s looking for a “you and me against the world” kind of adventure partner who will patiently provide structure and boundaries to help manage her nervousness. We can tell you this, if she finds her person, Haven will absolutely be a uniquely devoted best friend. If you think you may be Haven’s soulmate, please visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/ to fill out an application or contact adoptions@angelsofassisi.org. #adoptalessadoptablepetweek #adoptalessadoptablepet #adoptalessadoptabledogweek #adoptalessadoptabledog #petadoption #bigearsdontcare

Happy #InternationalRabbitDay! Meet Ozzi the #Amer

Happy #InternationalRabbitDay! Meet Ozzi the #AmericanFuzzyLop, and Paris Hilton the #AngoraRabbit. Ozzi and Paris Hilton are two of our #adoptablerabbits here at Angels of Assisi. #Rabbits are the third most popular #pet after cats and dogs, and it’s no wonder! They are #apartmentfriendly, generally quiet, they have big personalities, and they’re intelligent! You can #teachbunniestricks and games like reverse fetch (they’ll throw the toy to you) and #tugofwar. Contrary to common belief, they can live just as long as dogs and cats with a life expectancy of 8 to 12 years in a home in contrast to the 2 to 3 years in the wild. They are very #socialanimals, so if you have one, consider bringing home a friend for them so they don’t get lonely (preferably another rabbit of the same gender). If you are interested in #adopting any of our rabbits here at Angels, please visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/ to fill out an application or contact adoptions@angelsofassisi.org.

Meet Winston. He is our #gentlegiant with the hear

Meet Winston. He is our #gentlegiant with the heart of a puppy. At 8 years old, he’s still very excitable and curious, wanting to #explore anything he passes. Winston was #adopted out of the #shelter back in 2022. His owner loved him dearly, as we all do here, but they had to move and couldn’t take him along. Although Winston has acquired some wisdom and grace over his years, he will need a #family with some patience, as he still has some #leashwork and some manners to learn. But, while #bonding over #learningtogether, you’ll discover Winston’s #kindnature and #lovingheart. He loves toys, #bootyscratches, and hanging out with his favorite people. If you are interested in #adopting our #biglug, Winston please visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/ to fill out an application or contact adoptions@angelsofassisi.org. #adoptalessadoptablepetweek #adoptalessadoptablepet #adoptalessadoptabledogweek #adoptalessadoptabledog #petadoption

Melrose was found as a stray running down Melrose

Melrose was found as a stray running down Melrose Ave and never reclaimed. When he came to Angels of Assisi he didn’t know how to walk on a leash, and he was scared of everything that moved. He is very sweet, he just needs a someone to be patient with him while he learns the world isn’t such a scary place. He loves other #dogs and would love to have a #dogsibling. #RemmisList is a list of animals in our care who are in the biggest need of short-term foster homes. Studies show that giving a dog or cat a #shelterbreak for even a night or two significantly #reducesstress which helps to make them more adoptable in the long run. Remmi’s list is made up of our #dogsandcats here at the Angels of Assisi #shelter who most need some time out of the #kennels. These animals are either #senior, #longtermresidents, in need of medical care, in dire need of a #mentalhealthbreak from the shelter, or all of the above. Our staff will even provide training on medication administration for our #specialneeds animals. While the time in our shelter is temporary for all of its residents, Remmi’s list aims to highlight those who could use a #vacation the most. If you’re interested in becoming a #shorttermpetfoster parent to an animal on Remmi’s List, please contact foster@angelsofassisi.org. To view all of the animals on the list, visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/foster/remmislist/

Remmi, our #senior #diabetic girl who desperately needed some time out of the #shelter, got to go to a #fosterhome today! (There was even mention of sleeping cuddled up in the big bed!)

Happy #MeowLikeAPirateDay from Delia and all of us

Happy #MeowLikeAPirateDay from Delia and all of us at Angels of Assisi! Delia is a 5 month old #kitty who came to us through Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection @adoptrcacp after needing her eye removed a month ago. She is very calm and gracious enough to wear a pirate’s hat for the special occasion. If you are interested in #adopting Delia, please visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/.

Iverson got her #BaileyChair! We all owe a big thanks to Kathy Perdue and woodworker, Kevin Dill for making the #chair so Iverson can eat in a “begging” position, making her #megaesophagus more manageable and helping her food to go down easier! She tried it out for the first time today, and after investigation, she successfully had her first #seatedmeal.

Back in April, a #GoodSamaritan found and rescued

Back in April, a #GoodSamaritan found and rescued several starved #puppies who were #abandoned in a Walmart parking lot. Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection @adoptrcacp brought the 3 who survived to us. Soon after, the puppies were #fostered, and #adopted. Penelope, was one of those puppies. Now named Magnolia, this 6 month old has grown to be big, strong, and most of all, she’s #happy. We thought you might like to get a glimpse of her #newlife #wanderingthecountry in a #van with her mom. Magnolia’s life is now #fullofadventure and #excitement. She goes kayaking, hiking, and swimming among other things. She is the #perfecttravelingcompanion who is always up for meeting #newpeople, #newdogs, and seeing #newsights. She’s always excited about what new part of the world she’s going to get to #explore each time the van door opens.

With the help of Synclaire and our #kennelstaff, B

With the help of Synclaire and our #kennelstaff, Billie has come a long way from being reactive and paralyzed with fear to being a playful and loving dog who is learning to #trust more and more every day. #helpishere

For #petbirthdefectawarenessday this year, we’d

For #petbirthdefectawarenessday this year, we’d like to highlight our Harmony Farm Sanctuary ambassador, Lovely Lily the two-legged goat. She came to Angels of Assisi, then to the #farm back in the fall of 2015. We were told at the time, that she lost her legs in an animal attack, but we later found out she was actually born with the two legs missing on one side. We didn’t know what to expect when she joined the #family, but all these years later, this 9 year old #goat has made herself the mascot of her own home at Harmony. Lily absolutely thrives on attention. A wonderful car rider, she visits high schools, appears in parades, and dresses up for Halloween. Her latest appearance was at last weekend’s Lewis Gale @hcavahealthsystem event. She provides a calming force out in the public with the #adoptableanimals and at home with her #farmfamily. The barn cats especially love her during the winter as Lily will hold still for them when they want to snuggle in. But Lily’s missing legs don’t hold her back as she lives life on the move scooting around in her stall, rolling in her wheel chair, or preferably riding in her very own wagon to greet the world. We hope you come say hi if you see her at any of our upcoming events! #petbirthdefectawareness #birthdefectawareness #birthdefects #disabodyposi

We had lots of fun this weekend taking our animals

We had lots of fun this weekend taking our animals out for 3 #adoptionevents! On Friday, we were at Lewis Gale @hcavahealthsystem to meet employee families and give them a chance to pet, play with, and #adopt some of the animals in our care. Lily our two-legged goat even made it out from Harmony Farm Sanctuary! On Saturday, we made our very first stop on the #AOAAdoptLocalTour at the Roanoke @mastgeneralstore. We met lots of locals there, and are excited to visit Mast again in early October! On Sunday, we headed over to @rocoparks Explore Park to enjoy the sunshine, some drinks, and delicious specialty hot dogs at @twincreeksbrewpub. The scenery was lovely, and our #volunteers got a chance to take a stroll with some #puppies in their care. Here are a few photos from the events for those who couldn’t make it. But don’t worry if you missed out as we have tons of events lined up for the rest of September where we hope to see you #outandabout!

Meet Kade! He is 72lbs of love. He enjoys other #d

Meet Kade! He is 72lbs of love. He enjoys other #dogs, kids, #bellyrubs, and playing #tugofwar. Kade is still a #puppy, but he’s had a bit of a rough time so far in life. He was born with #hipdysplasia. At 8 weeks old, he was brought in with a broken jaw after another dog attacked him. After a few months, Kade came in for another visit after being hit by a car, which certainly didn’t help his hips. He was then found as a stray at the end of August and sadly, Kade went unclaimed. At just 8 months old, he has seen too much pain. Walking with a #limp and significantly favoring his left leg, Kade’s hip tends to pop in and out of place. We give him Dasuquin which is a #jointsupplement, and Carprofen to help with his #chronicpain and inflammation as he grows to an expected 100lbs or more. Through all of the struggles Kade has already faced, he maintains a bright smile, a playful energy, and an undeniable sweetness. He needs a home where he can receive the care and snuggles he deserves, and that’s where you come in! If you are interested in #adopting Kade, or you know someone who might be his perfect fit, please visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/. He can’t wait to meet you! #animalpainawarenessmonth #nationalanimalpainawarenessmonth #painawarenessmonth #paininyourpet #painmanagement
