Twice already this week I've come across a mama deer with her twin babies while I'm out walking a dog. These mamas will aggressively pursue anyone she perceives to be a threat. I even had to pick up a dog and speed walk away while she practically lunged at us after coming around the corner and surprising each other. Please don't give her any cause to be concerned. Stay vigilant and walk in the opposite direction. In the past few years I know of dogs in the area that have been kicked and trampled, some fatally. Respect leash laws and wildlife.

A message from our founder:
5 weeks until the BIGGEST DAY of the year of LOST AND INJURED (& killed) PETS due to fireworks. This is also when a lot of shelters have to euthanize animals to make space for all the lost pets coming in. Take this opportunity to get your cats and dogs microchipped and your CBD treats or prescriptions from your vet ordered or whatever calming and relaxing methods figured out BEFORE the chaos starts. (We watch loud action movies with all the curtains and blinds closed and fans going.) A lot of friends book a hotel in Canada for the night with their dogs (although I think there may be some new USDA border crossing policies with dogs going on right now so look into that first..)
Side note/rant: Fireworks suck. They terrify wildlife causing heart attacks or mothers to abandon their babies or animals to become completely disoriented, pets become terrified, escaping their homes or yards and end up getting hit in the road from the same disorientation; The loud booms and flashes are very often a trauma trigger for a lot of veterans of war, They cause countless fires to homes and forests and injuries to children; They litter the streets and air - it's disgusting and so disrespectful to our neighborhoods and environment. WAAAAAY much better ways to "celebrate."
OK I'm done... Thanks for listening, 😉
PS if you have the space, please consider being an emergency location for found pets on this day so as not to take up space at a shelter.. You can still file a found pet report. But if you can keep the animal safe without taking up the very, very limited space at the shelter please, please try to do so..

NEXT WEEK - super low cost microchipping available for dogs and cats in Whatcom County. A microchip is a permanent form of identification and could be your animals ticket home if ever lost. For more info, contact us at 360-733-2080 ext 0.

TW Dog Biting. .
25 clearly visible cues made by this dog were ignored before a warning bite was made. Parents, it's your job to pay attention to this. This poor child and this poor dog were put in a horrible position and thank goodness this dog had enough control to not break the skin when he was clearly very distressed. Do not set your dogs up for failure by ignoring their body language. Teach your children the importance of respecting others' bodily autonomy, animals included...
Frequently, dogs are blamed and punished in situations like this even after clearly communicating their discomfort and trying to separate themselves from the situation. Sometimes rehomed or even euthanized for something that was completely avoidable.

We also have a dog house to donate, if anyone needs it.

COLD winter weather is in the forecast visit this week, bringing with it extremely cold overnight temperatures, wind and snow.

The Whatcom Humane Society (WHS) wants to help pet owners keep their animals safe, dry and healthy during the winter weather season by following a few simple guidelines.

• Don’t leave animals outdoors for extended periods of time. Shorthaired, very young and very old animals are extremely susceptible to the elements including rain, sleet, snow and wind.

• If you must leave an animal outdoors, the animal must be protected by a dry, draft-free shelter that is large enough for the animal to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his/her body heat. The shelter should be turned to face away from the wind and raised a few inches off the ground.

• The Whatcom Humane Society has a limited number of free doghouses available to pets (dogs, cats, chickens, goats, etc.) of residents in need. Doghouses are available at the Whatcom Humane Society facility ~ 2172 Division Street, Bellingham on a first-come, first-serve basis. WHS also accepts donations of new or used dog houses for this program.

• Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes the animal’s energy. Routinely check your pets water dish to make sure the water does not freeze.

• Livestock animals need extra feed, hay and a source for fresh water (check water to make sure it's not frozen). Wind and rain proof jackets or blankets should be provided for horses, goats and other animals at risk in the elements. All outdoor livestock should have access to a dry, draft-free shelter.

• Warm engines in parked cars can attract cats and small wildlife that crawl up under the hood to stay warm. Before starting your car, bang on the hood to scare any animals away.

• Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pets feet. Wipe your animals feet off with a damp cloth after walks or outdoor exercise.

• Antifreeze is a deadly poison, but has a sweet taste that attracts animals. Wipe up spills and store antifreeze out of reach of all domestic and wild animals.

If you are aware of an animal in need or that is kept outdoors without proper shelter from the elements, please contact the Whatcom Humane Society Animal Control & Rescue Department at (360)733-2080, ext # 3017 or your local animal control agency for assistance immediately. WHS can help direct you to the animal control agency in your community.
