Cat-astrophic greenhouse failure has been resolved. Winds were so bad that they bent the louvers on the window vents so they wouldn’t close. Lots of plywood, foil wrap and aluminum foil tape later and we’re good.

Happy Tail Ace It may sound like a good thing, but Keith is actually trying to prevent Ace from getting "happy tail." As hurt as Ace is, he's still got such a sweet demeanor and he's wagging his tail so hard that it's smacking against everything near him. Unfortunately, that could result in injury to his tail a.k.a. "happy tail." Easy big fella, we love you, too! Update on the cat room. The crew has made lots of progress in sanitizing everything in sight to combat an outbreak of ringworm. But, as luck would have it, they're also having to fight some stealthy little mice that actually chewed a hole through the ceiling. Caught some, hoping the end is in sight soon. Never a dull moment. Time to call it a night. #RescueMatters #TMAR #AceTMAR #SayNoToHappyTail

Shay is helping me do a little wound care. This guy (Ace) got attacked by some other dogs/animals. Owner couldn’t get him into a vet, wounds were starting to get infected, so did some basic wound care on him. If your animal is injured, take them to a vet. If you need advice, ask a vet. If a vet is unavailable, use google. If all that stuff is unavailable, you can do what I just did. It’s real simple: shave, clean, flush, put antibiotic ointment or honey on it until you can get to a vet for antibiotics.

We Just Can’t Get Enough of Those Ears! Roma is on high alert. Kim’s daughter, Brianna, is outside and Roma is diligently watching guard until her return. Those big, beautiful ears are up like radar and Roma doesn’t settle down until Brianna comes inside. It’s both funny and sweet. Guess who has a birthday tomorrow? Roma is turning two! Can you believe it? If you’re not familiar with Roma’s story, we’ll be running the original intake video of Roma and her mom after they were rescued in sub-zero weather, frozen under a porch. It was an emotional night for everyone. People from all over the world watched and prayed that she would make it through the night. But, she was one tough little puppy and we’re so glad she did! Doesn’t Kim have a beautiful furry family? Roma, Sophie and Sox … we’re so lucky we get to share Sundays with them all. And with that, Kim and Roma say good night, we love you and see you next Sunday. #RescueMatters #TMAR #RomaTMAR

Michelle Has a New Puppy Meet Ralphie, Michelle's new foster pup. He's worn out from a busy day, but he does perk up for a quick second to show us his adorable face. Ralphie is about 7 months old, learning his house manners and very cat friendly. You'd have to be to stay with Michelle, she always has a ton of kitties in the house. Thanks for stopping by tonight. We hope everyone has a great night ... see you again tomorrow. #RescueMatters #TMAR #AdoptDontShop #RalphieTMAR

Cats are moved over!

Attempted Escapes Thwarted It's a night of runners. Keith does a quick visit to a few of the pups in the kennels waiting transport to their new forever homes, but they're all trying to make a run for it. The last pup almost succeeds, but Keith reigns supreme in thwarting all escape attempts. Congratulations Keith ... now go get yourself something to eat. You've earned it! #RescueMatters #TMAR #AllEscapeesWillBeCaptured

Happy World Kindness Day: A Celebration of Compassion for Animals Today, on World Kindness Day, we are reminded of the power of simple acts of kindness. It’s a day to celebrate the compassion that makes the world a better place—and there’s no better way to show kindness than by supporting the animals in our care. At Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue, we witness daily the resilience and love that animals bring to our lives, and we believe every pet deserves a chance to experience kindness, love, and a forever home. Whether you’re adopting, volunteering, donating, or simply sharing awareness, every act of kindness makes a huge difference. Here are a few ways you can make a positive impact today: 👉Adopt, Don’t Shop: Give a loving home to a rescue animal and change their life forever. Many of the animals in a rescue/shelters are waiting for a second chance at happiness. https://turtlemountainanimalrescue.org/pages/adoptables 👉Volunteer Your Time: Helping out is a wonderful way to show kindness. https://turtlemountainanimalrescue.org/pages/how-to-help 👉Donate: Whether it’s food, supplies, or financial contributions, donations help ensure that animals get the care and comfort they need while waiting for their forever homes. https://donorbox.org/fund-daily-rescue-efforts 👉Share a post: If follow our social media page, share a post and inspire others to do the same. The more we spread awareness about the importance of adoption, the more lives we can save. 👉Practice Everyday Kindness: It’s not just on World Kindness Day that we should be kind to animals. Every day offers an opportunity to show kindness to all creatures, big and small. Simple acts like providing fresh water, keeping pets safe, and respecting wildlife contribute to a kinder world. Remember, kindness doesn’t have to be grand to make an impact. It’s the little things—the shared moments of love, patience, and care—that create ripples of change in the world. Together, w
