Since the news is now public, I would like to address the situation several folks have asked me about concerning the avian flu outbreak in Santa Rosa. JP Julie Peacock Meyer is a devoted member of the animal rescue community who has helped countless animals and specializes in taking in hospice dogs. She and her husband, Mike, also adore their winged companions: geese, guinea pigs, chickens, peacocks, etc. They have selflessly cared for and loved numerous animals, including birds for over two decades. This is an utterly heartbreaking situation, and they immediately took action to figure out what was happening.

If you own birds and they exhibit symptoms of illness and/or suddenly perish, then please be especially vigilant right now. UC Davis will perform a necropsy (the carcass must be refrigerated and NOT frozen) to determine the cause.

An avian flu infection has been confirmed in a backyard, non-commercial flock of birds in southwest Santa Rosa, raising alarm in the county’s farmbelt, where poultry producers were devastated by a series of deadly outbreaks that began nearly a year ago.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:
Watch out Moo Deng! This thick chunk of love is looking for his special forever home. RayRay is a blind pit bull who just wants to find his special person. He’s had a rough past, but that doesn’t stop him from greeting every morning with absolute glee.
Ray would benefit from a person with a stable routine who isn’t much into exercising (he doesn’t do long walks or heat). He’d love to be adopted by a homebody, and Ray would be very happy to share the household with another dog(s). His blindness makes him sensitive to new things, and he relies on his person to make him feel safe. When I take him for walks, he responds splendidly to following my whistling and snaps.
Ray’s joys include snuggling, collecting toys in his bed, parading any new toy while snarfling, and fighting his nemesis—the garden hose. He also enjoys sitting quietly with his person, taking short walks, and meeting dog buddies. Food is an excellent motivator, but above all, he adores praise and feeling valued.
This dude is a lovely delight who appreciates everything. Ray is in the process of getting the vet care he needs (likely eye removal and he meets with a specialist on Nov 7th) and he is ready to look for his soulmate. If you have room in your heart and life for this two-year-old, let me know!
