UPDATE!! He has been reunited with his owner!

A good Samaritan found this pup in West Haven. While this pup is microchipped, it is not registered in any national databases so we are unable to locate owner information at this time. If this is your pup, please contact us at 801-399-8244 to reclaim or visit us at the shelter. Proof of ownership is required to reclaim this dog.

Please make sure to register your pet's microchip in 24PetWatch, which is the national pet microchip database, especially if you got your pet overseas.

It’s a great time to make sure your animals are up to date on their rabies vaccines!

Utah public health officials have reported that a bat found earlier this month has tested positive for rabies. Here are some tips to avoid getting the disease.

From a local gardener:
This tick has been on display for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container without any additional feeding, she laid eggs. This demonstrates how long a tick can remain dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember, ticks become active again in the fall, so continue with preventive measures.
If you encounter a small pile of jelly-like balls in your garden, act immediately! These are tick eggs and they're set to hatch soon.
Either set them on fire or destroy them by soaking in isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to wear gloves if you handle the nest, as it contains hundreds of tick eggs that will hatch in a few weeks. I believe it's important to share this post because tick bites can be dangerous.
Stay safe and informed to protect yourself and your garden from these tiny but dangerous creatures!

Today, we were blessed with the arrival of three precious kittens who were callously abandoned in a box on the side of the road.
As we navigate these challenging times together, let us remember that kindness and compassion can make all the difference. We stand ready to offer support and resources to those in need, and we are grateful for the selfless individual who saw these kittens be left behind, and brought them to us.

If you are in a difficult position and need help, please, please reach out.

*Kittens are safe with a foster*

The wonderful story of Pilot the dog!

At the beginning of April, our officers were informed of a dog living in the scrapyard of the Aerospace Museum at Hill Air Force Base. Staff had been leaving food out there for him for the biggest part of his life, but they decided they wanted to reach out to see if we could help this dog get a home.
When we first met him, he wouldn’t let anyone touch him or even get close to him. He had to be caught in a live trap and transported that way to the shelter. He had never been so close to people and was rightfully terrified.
It’s hard to imagine what his life was like. Did he have a home before? Was he abandoned? Was he just born as a wild dog? Museum staff said they have seen him around since before winter of 2023, so he couldn’t have been more than a little puppy just trying to survive.
Thanks to the amazing staff and volunteers at Weber County Animal Services for working with him and helping him understand that people can be his friends, the dog, now named Pilot, will be available for adoption very soon! We love success stories like this and we are so excited for Pilot to finally get to experience life as a dog!

*if interested in Pilot, please keep in mind he would do better in a home with older, dog-savvy children, and he will need time to adjust regardles. Pilot’s ideal home is one that will take everything at his pace. Remember, everything he does is likely the first time he’s doing it*

‼️THIS IS A SCAM‼️
Unfortunately, there is a new scam going around that targets owners looking for their lost animals. We advise to please not post your phone number on social media, and to please call your local animal control/shelter to report your animals missing. Then only those with the authority will have your phone number and we can contact you directly if we find your animals.
⭐️ON THAT NOTE
Animal control officers will always try to call you first if we are able to identify an animal as yours. We will call multiple times and leave voicemails. If we ever text, we will advise you to CALL us back through dispatch.
⭐️WE WILL NEVER ASK TO SEND MONEY OR CODES OVER THE PHONE!

It is awful we have to put out this message, but we do not want anyone falling for these kind of scams.

Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is commonly used in sugar-free gums, candies and desserts. Although this sweetener is harmless to humans, it is extremely dangerous to our canine companions.

In dogs xylitol stimulates an increased production of insulin which results in significant hypoglycemia. Depending on the amount ingested, liver failure, seizures and death can occur.

Because of the rapid onset of symptoms immediate medical attention is recommended. If the ingestion occurred within a couple hours, your veterinarian may induce vomiting (it is not recommended to attempt to induce vomiting at home). Hospitalization with supportive fluid and supplementation, and bloodwork monitoring is the best treatment.

The prognosis for uncomplicated hypoglycemia is good, if prompt treatment is obtained. Mild increases in liver values usually resolve within a few days. Severe increases in liver enzymes and/or signs of liver insufficiency indicate a more guarded prognosis and aggressive treatment is needed.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the health of your pet, we are available 24/7 to assist you by phone or in person - no appointment needed.
