Courtesy post: looking for foster/
rescue or a forever home for this sweet, outgoing huskie mix, Bambi. Bambi weighs about 38.5 lbs and is a 1 year and 5 months old.
Bambi loves to play and is good with all dogs. She is also friendly with people after some initial shyness . I have taken her home for afternoons from the shelter and she loves to explore the yard, fine with my little dogs and doesn't bark at my neighbors dogs who like to engage my dogs into a barking match at the fence. She would do well in a quiet home, would really enjoy a doggie sibling or a chance to play with other dogs at a park. If you are interested in this sweet, quiet ( very potty trained) girl, please reach out to me at 530-902-0933.

โค๏ธโค๏ธ SIBERIAN HUSKY FOR ADOPTION - SNOOKIE 1 yr old male bi-eyed beauty -
โค๏ธ VERY FRIENDLY WITH OTHER DOGS AND PEOPLE/KIDS (See attached videos)
โค๏ธ UNKNOWN W/ CATS (but many huskies aren't so good with cats)
---
WHAT SNOOKIE'S FOSTER MOM HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIM:
โค๏ธ Snookie is a sweet, lovable, pup who was injured and ended up in the Stanislaus County Animal Shelter in Modesto, CA in December of 2024. Once Snookie arrived at his fosters house, his fosters quickly realized that he was very young, but has potential of being the best boy with some training.
โค๏ธ Snookie is a husky mix who is on the smaller side (approx 47 lb) with medium energy levels. He is the type of pup who loves not only humans, but other dogs too. Size of other dogs doesnโ€™t matter. Foster has 5 other dogs and Snookie thrives with them being in the home. He even does well w/ the 15 lb pooch in his foster home.
โค๏ธ Foster believes that Snookie will do best with other dogs in the home, but also could thrive alone with a lot of attention on him. Snookie does great with children, especially children with special needs that are handsy. He LOVES attention and cuddling with his furr-brothers/sisters and humans.
โค๏ธ Unfortunately, foster believes Snookie may have been very abused as he whines and cowers when heโ€™s being redirected. Heโ€™s slowly getting out of his shell and will do great with a family who will love him unconditionally.
โค๏ธ Like most huskies, Snookie is vocal and likes to talk to his people. He will greet you once you walk in the door. We are working on leash training, because Snookie has fear surrounding the leash. He is kennel/crate trained.

02/21/2025

Donโ€™t Wait! Cats are already in heat and they have a short gesstation period before there are yet more kittens. I trapped a Mom cat that had 3 month old kittens and gave birth to 6 more before the week was out. She has had at least 6 litters of kittens and she is just 3 yrs old. She got spayed this week by Dr Griffiths, who literally saved her life when we found her so very anemic and frail.

Why didn't I end up with a colony in my backyard?

It's interesting, I've lived in my little cabin for 40 years. It's a very rural area, a previous recreational development,and over those 40 years I've seen cats show up in my backyard. As soon as they showed up I would get out my trap, catch that little cat and get him neutered (99% of the time it was a boy). I released them, but they rarely stayed around โ€“ they had been boys roaming around looking for the girls I'm sure. A few did stay, and I worked on socializing them outside. And once they got to the point of liking to be touched and picked up, I worked on finding them homes. But I never ended up with a colony.

I thought about this today because I'm getting ready to help a nearby neighbor TNR the 30 cats and kittens in her area. She lives about a quarter mile away from me but within the same development. 30 cats and kittens.

Last year I helped a neighbor who found a litter of 4 kittens in his garage. I retrieved the litter, trapped the mama โ€“ and using my cameras found the daddy and the sister andโ€ฆ A total of 7 adult cats and 4 older kittens. I TNR'd the whole colony, put all the kittens into foster, and was able to get the people to take on feeding and providing shelter for this very sweet colony. They live a half a mile away in the other direction. 15 cats and kittens.

Two years ago I helped a man in our development TNR 20 cats and kittens. The kittens were all fostered and went to homes, several of the adults were actually fairly friendly and they ended up getting homes. Only a few needed to be returned to his site. They live on yet another road in this development, a quarter mile away from me. 20 cats and kittens.

So why did these neighbors end up with all these cats, and why didn't I? One simple reason. I didn't wait. I didn't wait to see if the cat would stay around. I didn't wait to see if it was a boy or a girl. I didn't wait thinking "this isn't my cat, it's not my responsibility" โ€“ and I didn't think "this isn't my cat, I can't get it fixed". Plain and simple, I didn't wait. I saw a stray cat on my property, I arranged an appointment to get it neutered and I trapped that cat. Quick and easy and definitely less stress than ending up with 30 cats!

So that's the lesson for today โ€“ don't wait! Because if we all take care of the cats in our own backyard, if we all make a plan and take action as soon as we see the cats in our own backyard, pretty soon there will not be a problem.

Adopt, Do Not Shop! Pups come with all vaccines and altered along with micro-chip.

Woof times 8 - assistance is needed; we were abandoned in a rural area with no indication of our mother's presence, courtesy of an irresponsible individual. Fortunately, a young man photographing nature discovered us and intervened. Initially, plans were made to transfer us to a Doberman Pinscher rescue organization, but instead, we will be adopted through WAR after being spayed/neutered. We are currently awaiting the processing of four applications, after which the remaining four will be posted. We appreciate your patience as the rescue organization attends to our vaccination, microchipping, flea treatment, and deworming. We eagerly anticipate meeting prospective adopters - can you provide a forever home for me? To the individual responsible for abandoning us, we offer support rather than judgment; kindly consider spaying your female dog to prevent further unwanted litters.

Please submit an application to wiltonanimalrescue.com

We look at submitted applications

๐Ÿ’œ Bonded Seniors, Seth and Soleil, are a delightful husky pair who have quickly charmed the shelter volunteers with their living spirits. They are calm, easy to walk, enjoy being brushed and lean in for affection.
๐Ÿ’™ As charming as this pair is, they do not appear to have had a charmed life, and they very much relish any attention they receive.
๐Ÿ’œ They came to the shelter together as "strays" on February 3rd and are sharing a kennel. They are about 9 or 10 years old and would love to live out their lives together, but can also be adopted or rescued separately. They do not appear to be social with other dogs in the shelter environment.
๐Ÿ’™ Can you be Seth and Soliel's hero and give them a retirement home filled with TLC?

๐Ÿ’œ MEDICAL Spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test and vaccines are at NO COST to the rescue.

๐Ÿ’œ Hello, I'm Sophie Mae. I'm a gentle soul, a bit shy at first, but once I warm up to you, I'll be your best friend and cuddle partner. I was initially scared and defensive at the shelter but now that I feel safe, I'm a wiggly lovebug.
๐Ÿ’œ I'm somewhat independent, too, but I won't turn down a gentle pet or a quiet chat. I have some healing wounds on my legs, but they don't slow me down. I'm not always social with other dogs, but I promise I'll give all my love to you.
๐Ÿ’œ I'm a Mastiff, known for being loving and loyal. I'm ready to turn the corner and start a new chapter. Will you be the one to help me do that? Rescue me, and let's discover the joy of unconditional love together.
