Finding Luke

Written by Sherri Moore, Posted in News

Lost for 13 days, this lovable lab is found and reunited with his family!

Luke and Nina

The big mission of summer 2013 was the search for Luke, a big, lovable lab who became lost in the "wilds" of Menifee. Missing for 13 days, he managed to outsmart coyotes, find water, and survive the elements.

Luke's family, MVHS, and volunteers, along with Pet Detective Judy Britton scoured the countryside night and day searching for Luke. MVHS President, Nina Medina, found Luke hiding in a large storm drain and nearly caught him, but Luke had become scared and fearful of people and ran away.

Luke was finally reunited with his daddy Eddie and family when he was spotted on a ranch drinking from a well. The many large signs and banners about Luke throughout the area caught the attention of the ranch owner who alerted Luke's family.

Luke lost 15 lbs during his ordeal and his paws were raw and bloody from the harsh terrain. Luke has now fully recovered from his big adventure and he even had a party to celebrate his return home.

Willie-Woo Update!

Written by Nina Medina, Posted in News

An update on Willie-Woo, the Kitten with a Hole in His Heart...

Willie Woo is now 6 months old and his heart is still doing well. He isn't symptomatic yet but in time he will show signs of heart failure...

For those of you that don't know his story, Willie Woo was diagnosed with Left to Right Ventricular Septal Defect and left untreated he will only live a short time.

My name is Nina Medina and I am the president of the Menifee Valley Humane Society and Willie Woo's Mom. We rescued him from out front of Costco when he was only 2 months old and at 3 months we found out he had a heart condition.

Willie-Woo, the Kitten with a Hole in His Heart

Written by Nina Medina, Posted in News

This is Willie. He is a super sweet 14 week old kitten that we rescued about 5 weeks ago from out the front of Costco in Lake Elsinore. When Willie went to be neutered we found out that he has a level 5 out of 6 heart murmur.

We took him to the specialist and he was diagnosed with severe dilation of the left side of his heart with hyperdynamic LV systolic function secondary to a left to right ventricular septal defect. In other words, he has a hole in the bottom of his heart that will never close on its own. His Principal Cardiac Diagnosis: Left to Right Shunting Ventricular Septal Defect.
