🇺🇸🎆 4th of July Fundraiser – Help Us Help the Lost! 🎆🇺🇸
The fireworks have begun… and so have the frantic calls.

This is one of the busiest and most heartbreaking weekends of the year for us. The booms and bangs send terrified pets bolting from yards, slipping collars, and disappearing into the night.

🐾 Our volunteers will be out nonstop this weekend:
✔️ Setting traps
✔️ Answering emergency messages
✔️ Delivering food, flyers, and supplies
✔️ Searching for scared, lost pets in the dark

We can’t do it without your support.

💥 Please consider donating today to help with:
• Gas cards for our rescue teams
• Trap maintenance and bait
• Emergency vet care
• Pet food, crates, and blankets
• Flyers and lost pet outreach

Every dollar helps us bring more pets home safely.

Let’s make sure no pet is left behind this 4th of July.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you. ❤️

🚨 LOST DOGS & FIREWORKS DON’T MIX 🚨
If your dog gets loose during fireworks, PLEASE don’t wait.
The fireworks won’t stop—and every minute counts.
📲 Contact us immediately so we can begin the search and safely set traps.
Panic can cause pets to run farther and put themselves in danger.

🐾 We’re here. We’re ready. We want to bring them home. 💛

HE’S SAFE! 💙🐾
Yesterday, we were contacted about this beautiful boy who had been seen running along Linn Benton Road for quite some time. He had clearly been out there a while—nervous, unsure, and just not quite ready to trust.
We responded quickly with a trap and got everything set up last night. He was curious, even hopeful—but just couldn’t bring himself to get close enough for a leash or to take the bait. He visited the trap multiple times throughout the night, but his fear was stronger than his hunger.
Today, while refreshing food and water, he appeared again—watching from a distance and barking as if to say, “I’m still here.” And before we even made it back to the truck… he was in. Safe. 💛
This sweet boy is not chipped, so we’re now looking for any information on his possible owner. If you recognize him, please reach out.
We want to send out our deepest thanks to every single neighbor who kept an eye out, shared updates, and rooted for him. It truly takes a village—and your kindness made all the difference.
A very special and heartfelt thank you to Michelle Merfeld, who first brought him to our attention. Without your care and determination, this boy might still be out there.Together, we gave him a chance at safety.

🎆 FIREWORKS + PETS = A DANGEROUS MIX 🐾
July 4th is FRIDAY — please plan ahead!

Every year, shelters fill up after the holiday with pets who panicked and ran. Even the calmest pets can bolt when fireworks go off.

💥 Here’s how you can help your pet stay safe:

🔒 Keep them secure — Inside, with doors and windows locked.
📻 Play background noise — TV or music can help drown out booms.
🆔 Double check tags & microchips — Make sure your contact info is up to date.
🦮 No late-night potty breaks — Take them out before the fireworks start.
🩵 Comfort them — If they’re scared, stay calm and be there for them.
✍️ No tag? Use a Sharpie! Write your number on their collar in case they get out.

Your pet depends on you. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

🚨 The 5th of July is one of the busiest days of the year for lost pets.

Let’s keep your furry family safe at home where they belong. 💛🐶🐱

🚨 Fi Collar vs AirTag – What’s Better for Your Pet? 🐾📍

We often hear pet owners ask, “Can’t I just use an AirTag instead of a GPS collar?” While AirTags can help in some situations, they’re not designed for tracking pets long-term — and here’s why a Fi Collar might be the better choice for many:

🔋 Battery Life That Lasts
Fi collars can last weeks on a single charge, even with daily GPS tracking. AirTags? Just a year with limited tracking and only when other Apple devices are nearby.

📡 True GPS Tracking
Fi uses real-time GPS and LTE, meaning you can see exactly where your dog is — even in remote areas with no one else around. AirTags rely on being near someone else’s iPhone to update their location.

🏃‍♂️ Designed for Runners
Have an escape artist or off-leash adventurer? Fi sends you alerts the moment your dog leaves your safe zone. AirTags have no geofence alerts or instant notifications.

💦 Built for Dogs
Fi collars are waterproof, chew-resistant, and rugged — made specifically for dogs. AirTags are designed for keys and backpacks, not muddy paws or wild romps.

For some pets and situations, AirTags can be a decent backup. But when it comes to serious safety, reliable tracking, and peace of mind — a Fi collar is a game-changer.

🐕💨 Know where your pet is at all times. Stay one step ahead.
