As the winter holidays are in full swing, pairs of eyes are looking through their kennel gate hoping for a second chance. For the Joint Animal Services in Olympia, the push to place these adorable animals in loving homes before the holidays includes waiving all adoption fees from December 10 to December 14. Find more details and photos of these sweet pups at the link in our comments.

A lot of people have been sharing the attached picture across Facebook. We would like to take a few minutes to explain the good and the bad involving what happens if you use the wrong fat.

Let's start with the bad first and get it out of the way. You do not want to use any fat that you have cooked meat in as this can be fatal to birds. When you use fat that you cooked meat in, you are risking giving the birds to much salt depending on the type of seasonings or meat (such as bacon) used. Cooled fat mixed with any type of roasted meat juices can very easily smear onto the bird feathers and render their feathers useless by interfering with their waterproofing and insulation. Also, fat mixed with roasted meat juices can be an ideal breeding ground for a variety of food poisoning bacteria which can be fatal for birds.

Now on to the good. What fats are recommended to use for birds? Those would be pure fats. You are looking for ones that have a higher melting point.

Do not use a soft fat (vegetable oil, bacon grease etc.) with a lower melting point as it will spread more easily on a birds feathers compared to a fat that has a higher melting point.

Do use raw oats instead of cooked oats/oatmeal as it can harden around a bird's beak, making it difficult to breathe.
Mix it up with bird seed, nuts, and dried fruits.

You can go online and find some easy recipes to make that will be safe and yummy for the birds. Just make sure it uses pure fats.

Great idea

The town of Swansboro now has a new chip scanning station… it is located at the public safety facility in front of the police station.
If you find a lost dog or cat …. take them to the scanning station and scan for a chip.
The service is free and self explanatory. This station will help you reach the Chip company  which will contact the animals parents. It also provides information if the animal does not have a chip and what to do.

If your town or community is interested in a station reach out to Paws 4 Purpose . Paws 4 Purpose is a rescue organization that has many initiatives to help the animals in our county.

There has to be someone out there for Archie!

Archie is a certified good boy looking for a home, a spot on the couch and a few snacks. 🐾🥖🥨🧀

Archie has been in rescue for 735 days through no fault of his own. Do you know anyone who would be interested in Archie? Please share far and wide so we can find him a home.

💖DOB: 8/8/2018
💖Gender: male
💖Weight: 72lbs
💖Energy Level: Moderate
💖Overall Drive: Moderate
💖Location: Orting, WA

Archie is a diamond in the rough that needs some polishing to shine up. He would be best in a home with active owners, another dog (female preferably), and a slow feeder bowl to slow down his eating .

He is super loveable and affectionate with his people and would love to find his forever home. So if you think Archie is the diamond you have been looking for, please apply.

THOR HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!

My name is Thor! :)
I was brought in as an owner surrender. I am a very sweet and energetic young man, estimated to be 9 months old. I am a very large German Shepherd mix (maybe some Great Pyrenees or Malamute?) and weigh close to 75-80lbs. I am extremely affectionate, and I love people! I am still a puppy, so I have TONS of energy. I am very well-mannered for my age but, I do not realize how large I am, so I will probably knock some kiddos down with excitement. I know some basic commands and I walk well on a leash. I am housebroken and I do good with nail trims. I get along with other dogs, but I do not like cats. I am already neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, now ready to meet my new family!
