Missing dog: Rudy. The owner has been in town living at the end of Lapp rd for about a week. He took off. He doesn’t normally take off if anyone sees him at all please let us know or message the owner Phil 4164541934

UPDATE: FRIDGE FOUND - A big thank you to Jeanette Jackson for her donation.

Our wildlife shelter’s fridge/freezer has officially died, and we urgently need a replacement to keep our animal patients safe and fed. 🐦🦉🦊

In an ideal world, we’d find a generous soul to donate one, but we can also use our food funds if needed to purchase it. Any help, shares, or leads would mean the world!

Update: we have found the owner and will be taking this guy back to his owner Friday in Spilli. Please note we are only waiting until Friday because they cannot come and get him.

Someone just dropped this male off to us at Little Mittens. He was picked up by Nicholson. We are guessing someone’s dog was just out on an adventure and this person thought it was Lost. Please let us know if this is your dog.

These photos are just a small snapshot of the animals that come through our doors. Over the years, we’ve taken in thousands more, and we’re grateful that we’ve been able to build enclosures and spaces that have allowed so many of them to heal and return home.

We want to clarify an important point: our work has never been about maintaining jobs or staffing positions. Our focus has always been on the work itself and the impact it has.

What we are asking for is ideas, connections, grants, or funding opportunities we may not know about.

Right now, some of the animals we take in have to be transferred as far as 10 hours away. We are grateful for our rescue partners who help when we can’t. That said, long-distance transfers mean more stress on already injured or vulnerable animals, more logistics, and fewer chances to keep care local.

We are the only rescue serving the entire Kootenays, and keeping animals closer to home matters especially for species like our local foxes and swans, loons etc who need to stay in their home region.

We’ve been given the gift of a wonderful space, and we want to use it fully. We’ve also had our eye on property next to ours (dream big they say) that could allow for more room, better soft releases, and improved recovery space giving animals the best chance while keeping them close to where they belong. While not movng from where we are. Adding more space.

We’ve proven that we can build. We’ve proven that we can do the work.
What’s hard in a small town is finding the funding to expand and help more.

As we come to the end of the year, if anyone has:
• grant opportunities we may have missed
• funding programs or foundations you know of
• community or business connections
• creative ideas
• or the ability to make a year-end donation

We want to hear from you.

Our hearts are fully in this work. Always have been. We just want to be able to help more animals, closer to home, with less travel and less stress.

If you have ideas, please reach out. If you’re able to support us financially or point us toward an opportunity, it means a lot for us and for the animals who rely on this care.

We are only where we are because of all of you!

Thank you for being here. 🖤🐾

Here’s to another year of doing all we can ❤️

In case you have an animal who’s fearful of fireworks. A regular tensor bandage can help alleviate some of the stress.
