No autographs please! Meet Russell Crowe - a fantastic young silkie rooster looking for a home. Russell arrived to WHS as a stray - so his past is a bit of a mystery. He is not afraid to tell you exactly what is on his mind - all day long. Russell is looking for a flock to welcome him and provide him with a safe, secure life. His adoption fee is $5.

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.

I wasn't sure if we could have Sissy cremated with her sweater on but we could not. I'm letting Penny wear it so hopefully the smell is comforting. We're all missing Sissy very much.
