Griffin Update!

Griffin enjoyed a little walk, and while it’s difficult to watch, you can really see the impact his lax joints have had on his front legs. Now that he’s had time to decompress and settle into his foster home, we’ll be getting him in to our vet to create a plan focused on improving his mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.

Despite everything he’s been through, Griffin has an incredible personality. He’s sweet, resilient, and already winning hearts. We can’t wait to watch his confidence grow as we work to ease his pain and help him become the happy, healthy dog he deserves to be.

We’re only able to take on special-needs dogs like Griffin because of the support of our amazing community, including the generous team at Salish Veterinary Hospital and our dedicated donors.

If you’d like to help us continue rescuing and caring for dogs like Griffin, please consider making a donation: https://snovalleypetservices.org/support

Our friends at Valley Animal Partners (VAP) are doing great things in our community!

In addition to offering assistance with spay and neuter services, they work with Seattle Veterinary outreach to host low cost clinics 4 times a year in North Bend, aligning with the pet food bank date whenever possible.

Residents across Snoqualmie Valley are facing dire choices in the wake of rising veterinary costs. For Kassandra Maffitt, this crisis nearly cost her service dog’s life.

Mojo had his first visit at Salish Veterinary Hospital and did very well. He’s still a pretty nervous boy, so we’ll be working on helping him feel more secure and confident through training and structure. He is currently on medication to help manage his anxiety, and our hope is that, with time and progress, we’ll be able to reduce his reliance on it as he learns the world can be a safe place.

Griffin is now with his foster! He was released from the veterinary hospital today and is finally getting to enjoy some simple comforts — relaxing in the grass, breathing fresh air, and listening to the world around him.

When Griffin was found, he weighed just 34 pounds. He’s now up to 45 pounds, but he is still painfully thin. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be carefully working to help him gain weight safely while also working to establish a therapy plan to hopefully improve the lax joints caused by a prolonged period of malnourishment.

We’re looking forward to getting to know Griffin better and seeing who he becomes as he heals.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped support Griffin and our other special needs dogs. Your support truly makes these rescues possible.

If you’d like to contribute, you can purchase a gift card online through Pet Place Market, choose store pickup, and note at checkout that it is a donation for Sno Valley Pet Services.

This beautiful girl is Kailana. She first came to us in March as a medical hold for a community member facing serious health challenges. Over the past few months, Kailana has been deeply loved and cared for while her owner focused on healing.

Unfortunately, her mom is no longer able to take her back home. Because of that, Kailana has become Sno Valley Pet Services’ very first “Forever Foster.”

What that means is Kailana will remain an SVPS dog for the rest of her life. We will make sure all of her needs are provided for — veterinary care, food, supplies, and most importantly, a safe and loving home. But the bond between Kailana and her mom is still incredibly important, and she’ll continue to be able to visit her.

Sometimes rescue looks different than adoption. Sometimes it means making sure both people and pets are supported with compassion, dignity, and love. Kailana will always have a family behind her, and we are honored to be part of her journey.

A Special Request for a Special Dog ❤️

You may have recently seen our post about Griffin, the severely emaciated dog we’re bringing into our rescue. Due to the effects of long-term malnutrition, Griffin will need to stay on a high-quality puppy food while he continues to heal and gain strength.

We know asking someone to donate a $115 bag of dog food is a big request, so our wonderful friends at Pet Place Market helped us come up with an easier way to support Griffin and future rescue dogs in our care.

Gift cards are now available directly on their website in $25, $50, and $100 increments.

When purchasing, please select “in-store pickup” and include a note that the gift card is a donation for Sno Valley Pet Services.

Any donations beyond Griffin’s needs will go directly toward helping future rescue dogs who need specialized care.

From all of us — and especially Griffin — thank you for helping us give dogs like him a second chance.

Happening tomorrow!

We’re often asked how we go about rescuing lost or stray dogs, so I wanted to share a bit about our process.

Sometimes a dog gets loose and is found quickly, allowing its owner to approach and bring it home. The dogs we typically work with, though, have been missing for longer or were lost or dumped in a way that puts them into extreme fear mode almost immediately. These situations require a very strategic approach, often involving tools like humane traps.

One of the first things we do is put up large, highly visible signs—and I mean large. A standard 8.5” x 11” flyer just doesn’t cut it. Drivers won’t see or be able to read it.

Our signs use bold lettering with clear instructions: “DO NOT CALL – DO NOT CHASE.” A fearful dog will not come when called, and chasing it can push it further away or into danger, especially if experienced rescuers are already working the area.

We include a full-page photo showing the dog’s coloring and markings, often placed on a solid, contrasting background to make it stand out. Another page lists key details like the dog’s breed, size, color, and a contact number. If the dog is wearing a collar or harness, we include that as well. We intentionally do not include the dog’s name to prevent people from calling out to it.

Signs are critical—they turn the entire community into extra eyes. Sightings from the public help us narrow down the area and develop a plan.

As sightings come in, we map them out to understand where the dog is traveling and at what times. Dogs rarely stay in one place—they tend to move in patterns. By tracking these patterns and talking to neighbors, checking cameras, and knocking on doors, we can start to identify consistent routes or safe spots.

If a dog returns to the same location, we may ask a homeowner to leave food out with a camera watching. Once a pattern is confirmed, that location can become a strong candidate for setting a trap. Without that consistency, placement becomes more of an educated guess.

While inexpensive traps can be found online, we strongly discourage their use. They’re often unreliable, and if a dog enters one and it fails, the experience can scare them away from traps entirely.

We primarily use 48” TRU CATCH folding traps. They’re heavy-duty, reliable, and fold for transport. Though they’re more expensive, they’re worth it for the safety and success rate.

The setup is straightforward: food is placed leading into the trap and a larger amount at the back. We use strong-smelling foods like rotisserie chicken, bacon, or Vienna sausages—sometimes even adding liquid smoke. When the dog steps on the trigger plate, the door drops and locks securely behind them.

We monitor traps using cellular trail cameras, allowing us to respond immediately. When that door closes and we know the dog is safe—it’s an incredible feeling.

Once captured, we never remove the dog from the trap unless we’re in a fully enclosed space. The trap is carefully transported, usually to a garage, where the dog can be safely released.

So why do we do this? It’s simple—we love dogs. We love saving them. It can be physically and emotionally exhausting, but every rescue makes it all worth it.

Many thanks to James Branson, who taught me how to catch scared, lost dogs. I’ve been fortunate to work on many rescues with him. Thanks as well to the other awesome people I’ve worked with on rescues. Judy, Stephanie, Lily, Kari, Dina, and rookie Dorie. You are all amazing!

We’ve named our newest rescue Griffin, and he’ll be joining us this week. He’s been at the animal hospital longer than expected due to how poor his condition was, but he’s now stable enough to move into a foster home.

Griffin will be a longer-term project, and we’re ready to give him the time and care he needs. His biggest challenge is joint laxity, likely from malnutrition. We’ll be holding off on neutering for now in hopes that maintaining testosterone will support his development.

He’ll be visiting Salish Veterinary Hospital for an exam and to develop a plan to help him grow into a healthy, active young dog.

We’re excited to follow his journey and will keep you updated along the way.

Donations make it possible for us to take on cases like Griffin—please consider supporting our work so we can continue helping dogs who need it most.
