What does it take to capture a swan? A solid team, some watercraft, and a whole lot of improvising!

We had heard about this swan a couple of weeks back hanging out in a pond near Parson. As it was odd for it to be sticking around, we monitored and noticed quickly that something was definitely wrong with one of its wings.

Lots of discussion was had in the following days deciding the safest method for capture. Although the pond was shallow, the ice was thin and the mud was thick! However when the cold snap hit, we had to take action fast.

With a great team, plans A/B/C in our pocket, and strong safety plans, we were able to successfully capture the swan!

Unfortunately the wing injury doesn’t look good but there is a small chance it could be repairable with surgery. We’ll be anxiously waiting to hear what the veterinary exam and x-rays indicate ❤️‍🩹

To help support this swan and other animals, both domestic and wild, head to our website donation page - every little bit counts and is much appreciated ♥️ ♥️

Meet our two little terrors 😉

Mabel and Charley!

🐶Mabel is approximately 4 months old.
She is your classic husky/malamute mutt mix. She loves to make noise and sing many songs. Mabel loves to chew on bones, sticks and toys.
She will require a TON of exercise and will likely grow to be quite big. Mabel is still learning she is no longer fighting for her food and devours it very fast. We recommend doing research on husky and malamutes before adopting !

🐶Charley is approximately 3 months. He appears to be a husky, collie mutt mix. He too loves to sing to his people. He loves to play fight with his “sister” Mabel. He is also learning he doesn’t need to swallow his food in seconds. Both puppies have been around other dogs, amazing with kids, met cats and even goats.

🐶 Both have so very much love to give!

Please note these two will both be foster to adopt until spayed and neutered! 🐶

If interested please go to littlemittens.org and fill out a dog adoption application!
