Seeing chipmunks scurrying around? You might be tempted to catch and relocate them to prevent the little holes they might make in your lawn. Please don’t! Relocation isn’t a humane solution, especially this time of year. A chipmunk spends the entirety of fall collecting an enormous stash of nuts and acorns for its underground larder. When winter arrives, it retreats to its burrow and eats only food it was able to store in the preceding months.

When you relocate a chipmunk, you take it away from its hard-earned stash of winter food, leaving it to starve. Chipmunks relocated to new areas are also often chased away by competitors and left without any space for warmth and safety.

Please leave your chipmunk neighbors in peace! They mean you no harm and are simply trying to survive.

A friend of mine posted this on her rescue page this week!!! AMEN!!!! So every week someone is moving and can't take their pet(s) for some stupid reason or another. They are selling their house and no where for the pet to go. One of the dogs isn't getting along with the other "all of a sudden". They have gotten a new puppy and the older dog doesn't like it.....well DUH....work with your dog!!! "getting rid of my dog". (That statement makes my blood boil!!🌡️) Owners won’t contact a trainer to help correct behaviors. This one wins the all time prize though.....My dog has "all of a sudden" become aggressive and has bitten someone or multiple people......can you take him into your rescue, to be around your family but he will most likely bite them too and keep him for the rest of his life because I know he can't be adopted out safely!! "they expect a rescue to take on their problem and then get angry with us when we can't." 😡Please understand that rescues are mostly run out of our own pockets and are all volunteer....we are taking on as many as we can help with little to no outside help!

WE ARE RESCUE! Be a responsible, loving pet owner and figure it out, you are the one who made a commitment to care for this living breathing animal for it's entire life......we know that sometimes things happen and are happy to help in those situations but Quit expecting rescues to shoulder your responsibilities! We are faced with dogs every DAY that are on high kill shelters EUTHANASIA lists and yet there are people who want me to take their dog and me to train it while dogs are being putt down in ASTRONOMICAL numbers, in my 35+ years in rescue I've never ever seen things this bad.....people are dumping dogs in the streets and all over the forests ☹️ It's so bad out there that public shelters are turning people away!!!
The bottom line is this---If you aren't making a lifelong commitment to a pet as you would to your own child then DON'T HAVE ONE!!!
