Public service announcement :
February is Skunk breeding season. Before you let your dogs out make a little noise and give skunks time to move out of your yard.

If you come face to face with a skunk, stay calm and talk softly to let them know you’re there, skunks have poor eyesight. Skunks are very sweet natured animals and don’t want to spray you. Go about your business and avoid startling them.

Skunks will give you several warnings if they are scared:
1. They will stomp their front feet
2. They turn their backs to you
3. They will do a handstand
4. They will spray

If a skunk DOES spray your dog etc. here is our favorite technique and recipe:

Firstly catch dog ( person etc) as quickly as possible - don’t let them roll or rub on anything.
If you have rubber gloves wear them. BLOT the spray off with paper towels.
Mix a paste from Dawn dish soap, peroxide, and baking soda and spread it on the area. Let it sit for ten minutes then rinse off and repeat.
If this happens to be on a human or hairless animal leave out the baking soda. The baking soda is sort of like an exfoliant and is really abrasive to bare skin. ( I know this from being sprayed in the face by a skunk I was trying to rescue lol- the baking soda made me look like I had chemical burns)...

Another note: PLEASE WASH YOUR RECYCLING AND PLEASE DON’T LITTER. Every year I rescue skunks with cans, yoghurt cups, domed lid fast food drink cups, etc stuck on their heads. If you come across a skunk with something stuck on its head, throw a towel over it and just pull the object off. Don’t touch wild animals with bare hands and some can have parasites or disease.

O.J. was abandoned in a neighborhood and several residents were feeding but no one bothered to vet him. He became bossy to the other cats in area and then the residents called us. He is neutered and vaccinated and FELV/FIV Negative. He is a bit spunky, so no small children. It is probably best if he is only cat in the home. Online adoption form at www.fobac.org and you can also email us at [email protected]

Abandoned at a local park, Bogie is a beautiful dark grey Lop male. He is pretty friendly and easy to handle. Please fill out online adoption form at www.fobac.org or email [email protected]

🌟🌟REUNITED!🌟🌟
Lumi is safe and home! At 5 AM the family got a call that the dog was in the same area as last night. Ami went out to the area and parked her car with her window open it was nice and quiet as she sat. Lumi approached the vehicle slowly making sure it was really her family. Ami slowly opened her door and Lumi cautiously approached. When she realized she finally found her family she allowed Ami to l pick her up and bring her home. She has some injuries and is going to the vet office. We will update when we know more.
Thank you to the community that called in sightings, Southington animal control, Rob, Eric, and CTDGRV volunteers Carol, Linda John and Audrey. Hugs to Lumi for a speedy recovery. Welcome home sweet girl! Please please feel free to help us remove posters if you can do so safely.
❤️🐶🐾

UPDATE 10/20. Lately she has been seen in Southington. We ask everyone to please call in sightings to the owner and not to post the sightings one fb. She is in survival mode and will run at the sight of a person or any noise. She sees everything thru a lens of a very frightened and scared pup. If you see her note the exact location and time and call the owner. Do not chase, follow, or call out Watch the direction of travel and inform the owner. Once we get her returning to an area, we will set up a trap. Her number one priority is her safety. In order to trap her we need to have the area remain quiet so she will go into the trap for the food Together lets bring this dog home

UPDATE: Dog is traveling the meriden, Cheshire, Southington area. She is in survival mode It is extremely important no one chases, calls out or do anything else to try and get the dogs attention. Note the dogs exact location, what the dog is doing and call the owner immediately. Do not post sightings on fb. We want to keep the area quiet so we can set up to trap.

UPDATE: Dog was seen today but is in survival mode. She ran the minute she saw a person. For the safety of the dog do not call out, clap, follow or do anything to get the dogs attention. SHE WILL RUN. We dont want that to happen because it can push her out of a known area we are working or worse panic her and she runs into traffic. Just call the number on the flyer with the exact location. Call do not post the sighting We do not want a group of people moving into the known area. That will make her leave. Thank you everyone appreciate your support in helping to get this very much loved dog home

Update: no sightings since last night please if you live in the area check under your decks,porches, sheds, and shrubs she may be injured and hiding

MISSING FROM SOUTHINGTON
 This beautiful girl is missing from Evergreen Lane. She is friendly and wearing her collar with her ID.  She may be injured🚨
Please be on the lookout for her. Please do not call out and chase call the number on the flyer immediately if seen.
