Days of our Paws - Resident Story of the Week

My name is Moe and I'm a handsome fellow. I am a male born in 2006 who came from a very crowded house. I can be a little shy and like to hang out at my discretion but when you look like me, well, you can be picky. I like other cats and dogs.

Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet was founded in 1977 by a small group of Toledo residents in response to the vast overpopulation of stray and abandoned animals in our community. Save-A-Pet received its charter as a non-profit organization in 1978 and the current system of foster home care was created shortly afterward. Today, Save-A-Pet is more than 450 members strong with an open to the public animal shelter and a foster home network. Since our inception, Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet has placed thousands of kittens, puppies, cats, and  dogs in loving, permanent homes.

  • Non profit, no-kill organization
  • 85.65% of all donations directly benefit homeless animals in the Toledo area
  • Responsible adoptions

Our Mission 

Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet was founded on the belief that every companion animal deserves a loving, responsible and permanent home. In short, no animal homeless, and no animal unloved, abused or neglected.

To fulfill that mission, Save-A-Pet: 

  • Offers spay and neuter assistance
  • Promotes responsible pet ownership among the public
  • Seeks responsible, permanent homes for our animals

 

Current Officers

President: Lori Friedes
Vice President: Janet O'Brien

Resident of the Month

Ginger

Ginger, our lobby security, who is a 6 year old female lab mix.  Ginger has been diagnosed with being allergic to everything which means she is eating a special blend of food and needs to be in a home with no other animals, especially cats, because she is allergic to them also.  We give her Benadryl on a daily basis to keep her from being irritated and scratchy.  Ginger is a wonderful dog who is just looking to find someone to give her a home where love and affection is all she desires.  Ginger has been socialized with all of our dogs and cats and has sometimes attended obedience class depending on the number of volunteers we have helping.  If you think you have time to devote to Ginger and her somewhat "special" needs, stop in at the shelter and hang out with her and all of her friends.  She loves to visit with new people and is in search for that special connection.
