Calling All Generous Souls (and Those Who Just Love Bingo)!

Hey Bingo lovers and animal enthusiasts,

We need your help, and we're not kitten around! As part of our upcoming Bingo Night Fundraiser for the WINLOCK CATS, we’re looking for amazing items to use as prizes—and we’re hoping you’ll help us out. What do we need? Well, pretty much anything that can make our guests shout “Bingo!” in sheer joy—and hopefully, with a little bit of sparkle and excitement.

Got some cool stuff collecting dust? A fabulous gift you never used? Maybe a homemade creation that’s far too fabulous to just sit on a shelf? Or how about that bottle of wine you’ve been meaning to open but never quite got around to? We’ll take it!

Every item donated will not only make Bingo Night a blast but will go directly to support Kim and Don's cats who now rely on our rescue for their forever homes. So, if you have any fabulous prizes hiding in your closet, garage, or pantry, consider donating them to us!

Don’t leave your old things just sitting there—let them do some good (and have some fun too). You donate the items, and we’ll make sure they go to a good cause (and give you a huge shout-out for being awesome).

Together, we’ll make Bingo Night the best one yet and help our furry friends find their happy endings. Thanks for making the world a better place for both people and animals!

With tons of gratitude and excitement,
Patti Angeliz
Valhalla Rescue

P.S. The more outrageous, quirky, or funny the prize, the better—let’s keep it interesting!

Attention all my friends and fam;

If you have one of our loaner wheelchairs and no longer need it, please I need to get it back. Sadly it looks like Gracie is going to be in need of a chair. 😢

Alison Lawrence? So you drowned your dog because you didn't want to miss your International flight? You better be glad I will probably never run into you. Especially if you keep your horrible ass in Florida.

Please understand that it is people like this that cause rescues like ours to thoroughly vet adopters for any of our companion animals.
Could you imagine how crazy I would become if I was to find out that someone we had adopted too had done this to our family member?
I truly hope that whoever is in charge of hearing this case throws the book at this person and sets an example. We need to have stronger laws to convict people of these kind of heinous crimes. If she would do this to a dog, what is to say that she would do this or Worse to a child that was an inconvenience to her?

The dog, named Tywinn was 9 years old and microchipped, so they were able to use to identify its owner.

Yes, I AM the Mother of Dragons......LOL! I wish! ;-) but I am the adopted mother of my own little stubby-tailed beardy and I am very proud of Mr Stubbs and how we have improved his life.

In actuality, Valhalla Rescue has helped many other species besides furry, cute critters. Over the decades we have helped amphibians, reptiles, and arachnids find their forever homes too. Everything from giant frogs and turtles to tarantulas, jumping spiders, geckos, and iguanas. Besides my giant frog, Snoop, my favorite "furless" has got to be bearded dragons. Their Personalities are always unique, their colors are amazing, they are interesting to care for and they are definitely a companion that can be with you for a very long time.

Last month We were asked to help two bearded dragons find their forever home. Draco and Dizzy are male and female dragons that came from a loving home that sadly is no longer able to continue their care. They live in this beautiful structure Handmade by their previous owners. It provides a large and safe environment for both dragons to live in peace.

These dragons are now available for adoption, together with their living structure and all their supplies. There is an adoption fee that includes everything you see. I personally would upgrade the lights and you will need is timer to turn the lights on and off on schedule.

Please, only those with experience and understanding of bearded dragon care, feeding, and husbandry should apply. These are not animals for first time pet owners or for people unaware about the special needs of BD for good metabolic health. We will ask you many questions to ensure you have the knowledge and ability to care for these guys for the next 20 plus years. They are not hard to care for but they do have special requirements to protect them from poor nutrition as well as Metabolic Bone Disease and other diseases that can be killers.

We appreciate all our followers and thank you for sharing Dizzy and Draco while they hunt for their forever home.

Trapping is starting this weekend.
I'm sure we are going to be able to pick up couple of the cats right away without even trapping them. It took us a while, but we were able work up trust between the cats and us, which is what we had hoped for in the beginning. The less stress for them the easier it is for everyone involved. We have complete vet appointment set up for them for the beginning of next week at our vet Scatter Creek Animal Clinic.

If you would like to help and donate, the best way to do that would be to call Scatter Creek Animal Clinic directly and donate to the Winlock cats medical funds for Valhalla Rescue

We are lining up foster homes and forever homes for the sweet babies some if you are looking to adopt an inside cat or maybe later on maybe a barn cat, feel free to contact us we will have some wonderful candidates available very soon.

Ding Ding!!! Another wonderful adoption for one of the Maxi 10. KitKat, now named Morgan has found his forever home jusy right up the road in Salkum. His mama is going to come by Friday and take a walk through the store and do a little shopping for him but since they live so close I'm sure we will get updates on him quite often.

Congratulations and welcome to your new world Morgan!

It was such a beautiful day and Nick was able let us rent his bosses tractor for a 1/2 day to get the chicken coop moved to its new spot. They are going to be so much happier with so much more room.

Beautiful 72° today it's hard to imagine that the weather is going to change this afternoon. Won't be able to get the chickens moved to their new place tonight but it'll be ready for us to finish up after the storm. This new area will definitely accommodate all the new additions

Back at the vet with Gracie. She hasn't gotten any better, but She does not want to be here.

The company that calls this an extra large p**per scooper has obviously never seen a Great Dane p**p. Didn't have a banana for comparison so I had to use my hand.

Next appointment for today? We are now at Blue Pearl in Tacoma to get Little Miss Peggy set up for her kidney removal surgery that is scheduled for next Tuesday April Fool's day!

She has been such a good girl and has suffered with chronic UTIs her entire life because of her Malformed kidney. Was just a ureter problem, but after the CAT scan we discovered it was not just her ureter but also her kidney. So the best way to save this sweet Girl's Life was to remove her kidney and let her live a great quality of life with one good functioning kidney. So that's the plan.

This is what Valhalla rescue specializes in. Our philosophy has always been that no dog should ever die because of a medically treatable condition. Are we high volume rescue? No. What we do is provide a service for dogs that need medical intervention the most. On top of all the other dogs in our community that we help and rescue when these Special Needs ones come by we don't turn our back. We just keep on moving forward.

Thank you to everyone that supports our program and our mission.

This is the fund raiser specifically for Peggy.

So we're really thinking that it would be fun to attend pet palooza this year but I need at least two volunteers that will dedicate 2 days to help us organize and set up and run our booth. Anyone want to volunteer?

So today is a day of tutoring for CJ known as Thor, Heath bar and Kit Kat. This is the first time that CJ and Heath bar got to see each other in a couple of weeks and it didn't take them long to get right into the play action. Kit kat has always been more into voyeurism and likes to watch.

After today CJ and Heath bars adoptions will be finalized so congratulations you two!

Kit Kat has his home check and hopefully adoption will be finalized tomorrow.

These are the first three of the Maxi 10 that are getting altered. They are almost 5 months old now and we are starting with the boys first to give the girls as much chance to grow as possible.

Thank you to everyone that shares Valhalla Rescue and our dogs to help them find their forever homes.

Thank you Onalaska Farm Sanctuary for the donations of the kennel bank. They will be wonderful for our kennel room addition. Now we have effective quarantine kennels that we can sterilize when dogs come in to rescue.

Unloading cagebanks in the rain today (why so heavy, why so much rain-weather-gods!) - So far.... we distributed four medium sized kennels to Red Rose Animal Rescue .... and eight small kennels to Vanellope Guinea Pig Sanctuary (Lewis County rescue that works with small animals like rabbits/guinea pigs) - These eight kennels make perfect sense for a small animal rescue.

Some the larger 48 inch kennels with full sized doors (not good for cat rescue) will go to Valhalla Rescue . We, also, plan to reach out to see if the local police departments can use medium sized kennels for holding.

From there, we will see what is left - This donation was immense. It is important to me that these cagebanks end up with rescues that will utilize them...but also understand that cagebanks are short-term holding ❤️🙌

Rescue never ends and puppy season arrives early. Tonight, the call is to help 3 little pups and mama. She is a senior and should have been altered years ago and many litters ago. Another reason why we are working so hard to establish some spay and neuter options for dogs, especially large breed in this area. These mixed breed dogs have no homes here and the last thing we want is for them to end up as part of the problem later on in life reading more and more. Slowly but but surely we will continue to work to change the fate of so many rural dogs in this community
Till then, mama is now part of our Last litter program and will be put on the schedule to be altered as soon as possible after her babies are weaned.
🐶🐶🐶These 3 adorable little pups, large breed, will hopefully be available for our foster to adopt program in approximately 10 weeks. They will be altered microchipped and vaccinated as part of our last litter program. They will never know homelessness and as part of our programs will never be abandoned or in a shelter.

Stay tuned for more pictures. Tonight, mama has food blankets and a nice place to raise her last litter. 💗

Thank you to The Chronicle for posting about the small victims.
