While we will provide shelter and care for reptiles, we do not maintain the necessary equipment to enclose all possible reptiles. We recommend reptile owners have an evacuation plan which includes a portable enclosure, heat source, and any other required equipment to ensure adequate housing during an evacuation.

Did you know white cats, Siberian Huskies, Australian Shepherds, Catahoula Leopard Dogs, and sometimes the Shih Tzu, often have different colored eyes. It is known as heterochromia.

We love the different personalities of cats and their antics! It does make training interesting though since they are so different. What may seem like normal behavior in one cat could indicate something different in another. They definitely keep us on our toes!
Happy National Kitten Day to all those kitties that will grow into wonderful companions!

Agua Fria Prescribed fire planned Monday, July 1 on the Verde Ranger District: Fire managers on the Verde Ranger District plan to ignite and burn approximately 1,053 acres of the Agua Fria RX. Ignitions are planned to start on Monday, July 1, 2024, pending favorable weather conditions and resource availability. The Aqua Fria RX is located east of I-17 near the Dugas Exit and north of County Road 171 (T13N, R3E, Section 22, 27) and should be completed in one day.https://www.fs.usda.gov/prescott

Smoke will be visible from Prescott Valley, Dewey, Mayer, Spring Valley, Cordes Lakes, Camp Verde, and the I-17 corridor. Expect light to moderate volume of smoke during day light hours and overnight smoke impacts in the immediate area and surrounding low lying areas. Those traveling on I-17 can expect to see smoke on the road and are advised to obey all traffic signs and use caution when traveling in the vicinity of the burn as firefighters and fire-related traffic will be in the area.

The objective of the Aqua Fria RX is to increase vegetation diversity, improve wildlife habitat and reduce invasive plants. This project will also help encourage growth of native grasses and improve range habitat for permittee grazing allotments. The prescribed burn plan criteria for this project includes hot, dry conditions that are necessary to stimulate grass growth. Fire managers are closely monitoring weather and fuels conditions with equal attention to the wildfire activity and firefighting resources on the Prescott National Forest as well the resource availability of nearby wildland fire partner agencies.

Prescott National Forest’s land management strategy is centered on long-term forest health and the strategy includes reducing forest fuels and using prescribed fire on the landscape. Using low to moderate fire behavior, we can better protect communities, while improving watersheds, wildlife habitat, and forest health.

All prescribed fire activity is dependent on the availability of personnel and equipment, weather, fuels and conditions that minimize smoke impacts as much as possible, and approval from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (www.azdeq.gov).

Messages will be posted on social media when prescribed fires are ignited on the Prescott National Forest:

All unauthorized drone flights over wildfires on National Forest System lands will be reported to theFederal Aviation Administration and law enforcement agencies. Individuals who have been determined to have endangered manned aircraft or people on the ground with a drone or interfered with wildfire suppression may be subject to civil penalties, including fines of up to $25,000, and potentially criminal prosecution.

So please be smart about where and when you choose to fly your drone. If you fly, we can’t. And if we can’t we are unable to do our jobs to protect you, your family, or your neighbors from a wildfire.
