🐾 Meet Tom 🐾
This handsome, sweet guy was picked up from a rural pound showing symptoms that had us worried we might be facing distemper. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case — but Tom’s journey was far from over.
What happened?
Tom struggled with ongoing nasal discharge, nosebleeds, and just seemed generally unwell. We tried antibiotics and completed X-rays, hoping for answers, but nothing improved. We knew he needed specialist care to figure out what was really going on.
The diagnosis
After extensive testing with a veterinary specialist, Tom was diagnosed with Aspergillosis — a serious fungal infection caused by Aspergillus fungus.
Treatment for this condition is complex and invasive. In Tom’s case, surgeons needed to create surgical openings into his sinus cavities so they could directly access, clean out, and treat the fungal infection. It’s a delicate procedure followed by ongoing medical treatment and monitoring.
Tom has been through so much already, but he’s proving every day just how resilient and lovable he is. ❤️

Kuna is a 3-year-old mixed breed beauty with a heart full of love to give. This girl has the looks and the personality — she just needs the right person to help her thrive.
Originally returned to SCARS due to her sheer strength and pulling on walks, Kuna has been making great progress with the right tools and guidance. With a properly loaded leash or a Halti, she’s learning to walk much more calmly and responds well to leash corrections when handled confidently. She’s a smart, eager-to-learn pup who just needs someone experienced and willing to put in the time.
Kuna would do best as the only pet in the home. She does not get along with female dogs or cats. With proper, slow introductions, she has successfully made male dog friends, but she’s still selective — so no dog parks or busy social dog settings for this girl.
Due to her strength and occasional lack of spatial awareness, a home with children over 10 (if any) is best, so everyone can respect her space and energy. She’s also an energetic runner, so an active household with a large, fully fenced yard would be the ideal environment for her to safely zoom and play.
Kuna is looking for a committed, dog-savvy adopter who will continue to support her journey. She’s not the kind of dog you can just "wing it" with — but for the right person, she’s a loyal, loving, and rewarding companion who will give you her whole heart.
Are you the one to help Kuna become her very best self? She’s waiting to meet you.
