Our Special Animals Need Your Support

Our Special Animals Need Your Support

The Ohio SPCA cares for many special needs animals on our farm animal sanctuary. Their veterinary care, supplements, and special food requirements are expensive. We need your help. All monetary donations are tax-deductible. Every dollar makes a difference in an animal’s life.

Meet some of our special needs animals:

Simon is a senior feline with heart disease. He also has a nasal abnormality as a result of his condition when rescued. Simon was rescued from a horrible hoarding situation in southern Ohio. It took 6 months to get him well.

Jake and Jerrod are senior goats with CAE and CL (goat diseases that cannot be cured). They require medication at times and special supplements and feed. They are two of the sweetest goats you could ever meet. Both are much loved farm favorites.

Poody – Poody was rescued from a family who no longer wanted her. Her father did not fair as well, as he was taken out on a country road and dumped. She has Cushing’s Disease in addition to having hypothyroidism and high blood pressure. Despite her medical problems, at nine years old Poody is active and happy. She will remain on the Ohio SPCA Farm Animal Sanctuary for the remainder of her life. Her care is costly.

Lily – Rescued from a puppy mill, Lily had one eye ripped out by another dog. The remaining eye had been ruptured for years & she had suffered for a long time. It had to be removed. Lily also had skin & ear infections, & curled nails. She is now 14 & has some cervical degeneration, arthritis in the neck, and heart disease. She is a sanctuary favorite & much loved by all. Donations are desperately needed to help provide for Lily and many others.

Angel – Angel is just precious. She was part of over 100 animals seized in a cruelty case. Her hooves were severely overgrown and she was walking on her knees. Additionally, she had skin parasites and had lost a lot of her fur. This girl can now run, but she has good and bad days due to years of abuse and the onset of arthritis.
