Valhalla Rescue

Valhalla Rescue is taking this little fella under our wing while we attend to his medical needs. He is looking for a foster home or better yet a Foster to adopt home while we go through this process. We really know nothing about his history so we are not recommending homes with small children at this time.

He is a senior and his name is Poncho. Let's welcome him thru the doors of Valhalla.

Update: Valhalla Rescue is making room for him ❤️🙌

Looking for a rescue that might have room for Pug-Peki mix that was left behind when his owners moved. He has been outdoors for quite awhile. He is currently with a foster but the situation is very temporary.

His name is Poncho. He is not neutered. He must go to a rescue. He is not available for adoption right now. If anyone knows of a small dog rescue with room, definitely reach out. About a hundred people want to adopt him. But that isn't how we do things here. 🤷‍♀️

WE HAVE CATS!!!!!!

Okay, once again we were blessed with a cat in desperate need. This poor kitten is probably about 4 months old and we could really use a foster home to help provide him with love and attention he needs. We are currently treating him with some antibiotics for a respiratory illness and he is taking his meds quite well and is already showing great signs of improvement. We have him scheduled to be neutered and he is up for adoption. He's a super friendly little fella who just wants to be part of a family.

Is it all black little boy. It is so hard for me to get a good picture of him cuz all he wants to do is climb in my arms and have me hold him. But of course I am allergic! That is why I am hopeful that we can find him a sweet Foster home.

Maybe even a Foster to adopt home. If you are interested in helping this sweet kitty please feel free to contact us here at Valhalla Rescue. We adopt in Washington Oregon, British Columbia and anywhere within reasonable driving distance.

When pets are in foster care we supply all their necessities and vet care. You just Supply the love. If you are interested in adopting then know that their adoption fee covers their altering surgery, microchipping vaccines and for cats we even do testing for leukemia and other illnesses.

Help us continue to help those that need us in the community. Please share this post.

ADOPTED! SALLY HAS FOUND HER FOREVER HOME! We couldn't be happier for her. We expect to see nothing but wonderful things in her future.

We should have many more dogs looking for their forever homes so check us out on Petfinders or send us a message if you don't see what you're looking for.

ROOSTER! PLEASE SHARE.

Rooster arrived to our rescue in sad condition. He had horribly infected eyes that needed to have surgery for an entropic eyelid. He recovered completely and we do keep a course of eye drops around just for the occasional allergy flare-ups. But don't let this little medical hiccup sway you from meeting a full bodied chihuahua.

Rooster is a fantastic dog.
He is definitely bigger in his mind than he is in real life. This little 5 lb piece of dynamite is looking for a forever home that has the energy to keep up with him . He's great with other dogs and absolutely loves small children.
He can be a little protective around strangers, which is definitely a Chihuahua trait, but one we are working on to curb and hope his new home will continue his social training.

Rooster is all set to go and ready for adoption. We prefer to adopt Washington Oregon parts of Idaho or within reasonable drining distance. His adoption fee covers all his medical care. He is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and has been in a Homestyle environment. He works well on a leash although he can be a little bossy. Like I said don't let that sway you from a wonderful, loving and funny member to your family.

You can submit an online application through our website, www.valhallarescue.org

We are all struggling here. Even when huge County shelters are starting to struggle that is telling you that Washington state has a problem. We need help, we need more resources we need more volunteers we need more of everything, except dogs. Oh, and cats. We definitely don't need any more of them either, while we struggle to try to get a hold of what is happening in our communities.

We need volunteers to help Foster and network and share the dogs and cats and other companion animals of Washington State.

Please, reach out to your local shelter or rescue and offer whatever you can. Those that can't speak for themselves need or help more than ever. THANK YOU!

WOW! 😲 16 BREEDS! 😲🤣😲

Toby, 1 of Eeyore's pups has been DNA tested and the results were obvious but also surprised.

Toby formally known as Sasquatch, 1 of the and the 1st one adopted had his DNA done by his new people and they sent us the results.

traced 16 different breeds!!!! Wow!!! That might be the most that we have ever found in any of the dogs that have come into Valhalla Rescue.

We are still waiting for Mama Eeyore's results to come back but we are definitely considering her puppies to be SUPERMUTTS!

Basically they are pointer retriever mixes but there were so many other breeds in there, we know they are going to have amazing personalities. A little bit of everything.

We still have six of them that are looking for forever homes or at least foster homes to help them with their puppy training and other social exercises. Please consider adopting one of these amazing puppies.

If you would love to spend some time with a dog that has been DNA tested as 100% GOOD DOG, Contact us here at Valhalla Rescue.

Thank you to the amazing friend who sent us these lovely treats for our chickens. Also the pill Pockets will come in very handy for Annie and Eeyore's medications. And of course all the dogs will love the sausage treats. We have eight giant puppies that are definitely going to enjoy them.

Thank you so much for shopping our Amazon wish list.

First off I'm so glad to say that Karol is okay.
Sadly this morning while leaving southern Oregon to continue on the journey to drive to Pasadena to help us retrieve the three little Chihuahuas from my deceased friend and fellow rescuer Tara, Karol hit a deer and totaled her car. She is now in southern Oregon making arrangements for her car to be towed back home while she gets a rental car.
This is definitely not what we were expecting and this has put a huge damper on our plans to get those babies up here this week.
Please send us good thoughts and energy while we arrange another plan. We are trying to avoid putting them on a regular rescue transport as these are all seniors that may not do well on Rescue transport. But at this point we're not sure what we're going to do.

Valhalla Rescue is seeking foster homes. If you want to be part of the process and helping a dog find their forever home, then please contact me or the rescue.
So many dogs are waiting in limbo for a soft place to land. Rescues need your help. Keeping dogs in the kennels is not the preferred method for any rescue and without foster homes we are limited on the dogs we can help. Right now the need is great. If you would like to learn how you can trust her and how easy it is, we pay all the expenses, then just let me know.

Save a Life for the holidays and help them find their forever homes.

WTH? Considering I've got no other notifications of any improper listings except for this one I'm assuming that this is a scam so I am sending this out here to everybody to beware. Obviously there are people out there that will try anything

It's also that time of year share this important psa. This little bit of precaution can save your companion animals immense pain, thousands of dollars in emergency vet bills and possible death.

These cheap, imported bleached rawhide are not worth it. Leave them on the shelves.

Today's Weights for the Maxie10. Every one is doing well. Mistie has set up a great routine where the littles get Mama all to themselves in the morning and then we let the heifers in.

We already have one that's hit the 1 lb mark. Of course you know I'm going to be a nervous Nelly until they're up and eating on their own but so far they look like they are all doing really well. Mama is doing a great job, super protective. Since we don't have any vaccine history on Mama we are kind of keeping them in isolation for a couple of weeks, but then hopefully they will be able to get a few visitors.

Thanks to everyone that is sending their love and support for these beautiful babies. Puppies are not something we ever want but we are to relieved that we were able to give this wonderful little family a safe place to land where they will get all the medical care and love that they want.

Thank you to Mistie so much for keeping an eye on them. I need to clone about 50 of her. Anyone that's willing to take in puppies and Mama's are true heroes.

The Flerd got a wonderful donation of corn stalks and Pumpkins this week. They couldn't be happier! They love this season.

If you have any gardening leftovers, old pumpkins, squashes, corn on the cob or other vegetables, the Sheep, goats and chickens of Valhalla Rescue would greatly appreciate it. Just PM us and we can arrange for a pickup.

This posting was from over a year ago but it is a gentle reminder on why we do not allow invisible fencing as the primary form of control for any of the dogs we adopt out from Valhalla rescue.

There are just too many variables that can happen because of this type of fencing. We understand it's usefulness within certain areas of large properties, but we do not like it as the primary form of protection.

This is one of the reasons why we do not like invisible fences for our adoptions:

This little guy got out of his invisible fence...no doubt chasing a squirrel that was outside the boundary. He managed to fight off the coyotes that tried to kill him.
The shock collar around his neck had prevented his return to his home and yard, so he went back into the woods to lay down to die. His owner was determined to find him. When he was found he was pretty torn up with a temp of 94°F.
Invisible fencing is Not going to keep animals, or other threats out of your yard.
If your dog runs through the barrier in pursuit of a critter, he's going to get corrected by that collar if he tries to get back home.... Please reconsider invisible fencing. People may say that they have been using them for years without issue.
However, it only takes once

We are still seeking foster or better yet ADOPTIVE homes for the Ethel 8 puppies. Until then we need to find some igloo dog type houses for when they are outside in their kennels.
If anyone has some that they're not using or knows of any that they would like to donate to us please, let us know. We need quite a few with all the puppies we have here. We need the medium to large sized kind.

ROGER DODGER came to us several months ago from the local police department when no one stepped up to claim him. After months of medical rehab, he is healthy for his age, but is still looking for his forever home. We believe one of the major reasons is because many people are dissuaded by his looks.
We believe he is a Husky/Shepherd mix, but we have had a couple potential adopters mention that they think he may be some sort of wolf hybrid. 🙄 Sadly they have not been the only ones to voice that opinion. :'(
We're pretty sure he isn't, but just for everyone's peace of mind and to quell any future concerns, he is on our list for DNA testing. He's a wonderful dog and did yours the chance to have his forever home and not to spend the remainder of his senior life living and rescue.

The other test that we have we are going to use on Eyeore. That way Besides knowing what breeds she is comma we will also know what breed the puppies are.

Maxie Mama is going to be next on our list for a DNA test. We would definitely like to know what she is. We have been told that she is Boston Terrier / pug and maybe some Pitbull. She is a small breed dog so it will be interesting to find out her breeds for sure.

Breed testing is an expense that rescues cannot afford to utilize. We deeply appreciate everybody who purchases a Wisdom DNA kit for Valhalla Rescue . THANK YOU💖💖💖

I have been so busy focused on Maxie and her puppies that I can't even rember if I got around to announcing one of our fantastic adoptions.

Miss olympia, AKA Ollie, has been adopted to a wonderful retired gentleman in portland. She has an older brother, Danni, who is 18, yes believe it or not 18, although you wouldn't believe it by his energy level.

Her new home has been waiting to add another senior companion for Danni. When we first heard about him we were expecting a quiet sedate little old man. And when he first came walking around the corner that's what we thought we had. But once he saw Ollie, he perked right up slicked his hair back and put out all his best moves to try to woo her.

This is a home that has everything she needs.
*Experience and desire to love an older dogs, after all Ollie is 14.
* plenty of time to spoil her rotten and spend all day attending to her Royal Highness.
* and tons and tons of love backed with a fantastic Veterinary reference.

Nothing more we could ask Ollie deserves it all and I know her mama is looking down glad to see her baby being cared for so well.

CONGRATS MISS OLLIE!
