Weekly Pet Adoption / Pet Help Post

8 Upvotes

This will become a weekly Friday post for posts regarding pet adoptions and general pet questions. The intent is to condense the multiple pet adoption post into one place so they are easy to find. This pinned post is for:

  • Pets up for adoption
  • Pet adoption events
  • Questions on vets
  • Questions on where you should take your animals

Note: We will begin removing pet adoption posts and push them over to this pinned post.

Also, if you have a missing pet, feel free to post it in here as well.

We will also take a zero tolerance stance on people using this post to push their stances on certain animals/breeds, brigading from other subs, etc. If you need more clarity on what this means, feel free to reach out to the modmail.

We also recommend searching older "Weekly Pet Adoption" posts as well, to find animals on previous week's post as well.

If you are looking for further resources, here are some recommended places:

Lost pet Please Help Us Find Marcy!

• Upvotes

Marcy’s family is heartbroken. She has been missing since October 14, and they are desperately trying to find her and bring her home.

Marcy is not just a pet. She is a beloved member of a family who loves her endlessly, and they are living every day wondering where she is, whether she is safe, and when they will get to hold their girl again.

There is concern that someone may have Marcy and that she has not been returned home. We are asking anyone who may have found her, taken her in, or knows anything about where she is to please do the right thing and help reunite her with the people who love her. No judgment. Her family just wants her home.

Marcy is a friendly blue/gray and tan French Bulldog last seen in Leander near Horseshoe/Circle Diamond, close to Leander Middle School. She is friendly and not shy.
PLEASE SHARE. Someone out there may have seen her, know something, or be able to help get her home. Even one share could make a difference.

📞 Call or text [737-383-4946](tel:737-383-4946) with ANY information.
Marcy, your family is waiting for you. You are so loved, and you are so missed. Please help bring this girl home. ❤️

to the austin EMS responders that helped me last night

135 Upvotes

firstly, if anyone knows who i can call to (non-creepily) find out the station the EMS that aided me are in so i can send a card or a dozen donuts, please let me know.

yesterday i experienced hypotension for the first time in my life. i had this sense of impending doom and thought i was going to die. my heart felt like it was about to give out and i was struggled to stand. i’m honestly still not sure what fully has caused it as i’ve been battling a couple health issues and the ER i went to was not great and pretty much left me in the dark and almost forgot to give me more fluids, but that’s a separate story.

regardless, the EMS crew that saw me last night were the sweetest i have ever met in my life. when i was shaking and thought i was going to pass out, i oddly felt comforted knowing that if anything worse were to come, they were the ones helping me. i’ve come across a lot of EMS/EMT folk as an ill person with several ER visits between this year and last, or the time i was in a major car accident. none have ever made me feel this level of comfort while also walking me through the process of everything they were doing. that means the world to me.

my veins were not pulling because of how low my blood pressure was (74/50 the first reading), they had to poke me more than five times and i still felt really comfortable and reassured by them despite that. it made me cry.

so yeah, just want to shout out the austin-travis county EMS crew. it was two lovely women and one very kind man. i hope i can find a way to extend the gratitude. and if anyone here finds themselves in a situation like mine, i hope you get an amazing crew like i did during a very scary time.

Inpatient or IOP for OCD recs

• Upvotes

Has anyone ever gone inpatient locally? I’m open to IOP non locally. I can’t continue like this and I can’t sleep and I can’t turn my OCD brain off.

I can’t see my psych until later this week and my old/current meds are no longer working and neither did the new ones I tried.
