Meet Dolly!

She is truly the sweetest girl we have met yet. Sweet, kind, gentle, cuddly and loyal is how best to describe her. Dolly is looking for a safe place to land with someone who will love her just as much as her person did. Sadly, Dolly’s person went into assisted living and Dolly has found herself looking for a new quiet, calm home with a comfy lap to lay in for the rest of her years. A home without children and one that her person is home at least part of the day. Dolly is a Chihuahua, 11 years young, under 10 pounds and did we mention, perfect in every way? She is totally potty trained, has perfect recall, rides nice in the car, is the best listener and is a professional at snuggling. Dolly just had a full check up, she is up to date on all vaccines, she is microchipped, spayed and super healthy. She is not “yappy” at all and has quite a deep bark for a Chihuahua, sometimes her bark sound like a quaking duck. It just doesn’t get any more adorable than that! She can jump onto the couch and chairs and use stairs quite easily. She has lived with other dogs and with cats with no issues at all, so a home with kitties and another dog (hopefully, a senior like her) or a home as an only “child” would be just fine for her too. Dolly is being fostered through Rescued Hearts Northwest in Sedro Woolley WA. If you are interested in learning more about Dolly or meeting her please fill out an application here.

Please read ☀️

A pre-summer HEAT WAVE is in the forecast for Whatcom County and the surrounding areas. Domestic animals and wildlife can be adversely affected by high temperatures. Below are some precautions pet owners can take to protect their pets, livestock and other animals from the heat.

▪ Do not leave your companion animal in a parked car, even for a few minutes. During warm weather, the inside of your car can reach 120 degrees in a matter of minutes, even if you're parked in the shade. Pets that are left in hot cars even briefly can suffer from heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage and even die.

▪ Provide plenty of extra fresh water and shade for your pets and livestock animals so they can stay hydrated and cool. While fans can be comforting to animals, they may not have the same cooling effect on pets that they do on humans.

▪ Pets need regular exercise even when it is hot, but extra care needs to be taken with older animals, short-nosed dogs, overweight animals and those with thick coats. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours. Keep in mind that asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws.

▪ Pets can get sunburned too, and your pet may require animal-safe sunscreen on his or her nose and ear tips. Pets with light-colored noses or light-colored fur on their ears are particularly vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer.

▪ In summer heat your pet can suffer from heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These conditions are very serious and could cause your pet to die. You should be aware of the signs of heat stress, which could include heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue. If your pet does become overheated, you need to immediately lower their body temperature. Move your pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water over their body to gradually lower the animal’s core body temperature. Apply cool towels or ice packs to your pet's head, neck and chest only. Let your pet drink small amounts of water or lick ice cubes. Most importantly, get your pet to a veterinarian immediately.

▪ Native wildlife acclimates to changing climates, but that doesn’t mean they are not affected by the heat and can suffer from dehydration and other issues. Ground level bird baths — kept filled with clean, fresh water — can provide welcome relief and a water source for a variety of native wildlife including birds and squirrels. Misters provide a great way to provide wildlife with hydration – and they don’t require much water.

▪ Keeping grass and ground cover a bit longer in the summer can provide additional protection for native wildlife as well as provide additional moisture to thirsty animals.

If people see an animal in distress, contact the Whatcom Humane Society Animal Control & Rescue Department (or your local animal control agency) for assistance. WHS Animal Control can be reached at 360-733-2080, Ext. 3017.

Meet Cricket!

She is as close to perfect as you will get. and just look at those beautiful brown eyes.

She can stay home alone while you are at work, and enjoys walks. She rides nicely in the car and loves everybody she meets.

But other than that she is a very happy, well mannered sweet girl.

If you are looking for the perfect buddy to go hiking, running, walking and adventuring with, Bronco is the guy for you. Bronco is a one year old neutered Husky. He is an incredibly sweet gentle giant. He loves hanging out with his favorite people, car rides, or just lounging around the house. He is always up for a walk, hike, or adventure. He does great with other dogs large and small. He walks well on a leash and has worked hard to learn good leash manners. Bronco is a husky, so he needs a home that understands the breed. He is very food motivated, but doesn’t quite understand that human food isn’t for sharing and will try to sneak some if it’s left unattended. He’s potty trained and has been great around kids and adults. He hasn’t been around cats besides seeing some on walks, he might do well with a confident cat with the right introduction. He loves chewing dog toys and leaves things he is not supposed to chew aline as long as he has enough chewies and or a filled Kong. Despite starting out life as an outside dog, Bronco has completely adjusted to indoor dog life and very much loves being a part of the family. He is very sad when he’s left outside, especially when his humans are gone and will let the neighbors know just how sad he is. Bronco would love an active family that can give him the exercise and attention he needs and deserves. Kids and another dog would be a great bonus but not a requirement for his new forever home. Bronco is neutered, up to date on his vaccines and being fostered in Sedro Woolley WA. If you are interested in meeting or learning more about Bronco you can fill out an application right here
