Halloween Pet Safety Tips from Animal Samaritans:
Halloween is full of tricks and treats, but it can also be a spooky time for our furry friends. Each year, shelters across the country report a rise in lost pets around Halloween—many scared by costumes, noises, or constant doorbell rings.

Thousands of pets go missing every year, but these simple tips can help your pet stay safe this Halloween.

🎃 Keep candy away—chocolate and xylitol are toxic.

🎃 Bring pets indoors and place them in a quiet, secure room so they don’t escape during trick-or-treating.

🎃 Make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date.

🎃 Keep candles, cords, and décor safely out of reach.

Let’s keep Halloween fun and safe for all creatures great and small.

We are looking for somebody to foster sweet Shane (A1848353) for about 10-14 days from Coachella Valley Animal Campus. We are hoping to get Shane a foster while he waits for his freedom ride! He has a confirmed rescue who has an adopter for Shane in another state. They have transport lined up but not for another few weeks. In the meantime, CVAC is extremely full and in need of any kennel space they can get.

Shane is very shy but is well behaved and sweet. He does well with other dogs and appears to be more confident with a doggy buddy around to show him the ropes

If you would like to foster please email [email protected]

Even if you can't foster Shane, please consider fostering another pooch, large or small, from CVAC! 🩷

We took a short break from social media, but not from rescuing! To celebrate being back, I wanted to highlight just a few of the animals that have been rescued recently. ❤️

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲!
Did you know? 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. Fireworks, parties, and summer chaos can be terrifying for our furry companions—but a little preparation goes a long way.

🔹 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 & 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞, 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞
Fireworks can be especially scary for newly adopted pets. Set up a calm, cozy room with blankets, water, and toys. Keep windows closed and curtains drawn to soften sights and sounds.

🔹 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞
Even if your dog seems fine, don’t take chances—never leave pets outside during fireworks. They can panic, jump fences, or slip out of collars in a flash.

🔹 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬 & 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲
Before the festivities begin, make sure your pet is wearing an ID tag with your current contact info. Also confirm their microchip is registered and up to date—this simple step can bring them home faster if they get lost.

𝐀 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦.

So grateful that we were able to transport 7 puppies to rescue yesterday!

Thank you to our partners at Animal Samaritans for transferring seven puppies for rescue today. This happy bunch is leaving our shelter in search of their forever homes and though their cuteness will be missed we are excited for their new start!
