BIG THANKS To Annalisa Fish Photography for spending time at Whatcom Humane Society this week taking doggone fabulous photos of some of our dogs available for adoption.

She really captured the true personality of many of our amazing dogs, including bonded pair Casper & Iggy - 8 year old siblings that have been patiently waiting to find their forever home. Casper is the happy, goofy pup while Iggy tends to be more serious. Both these dogs are sweet, friendly, smart, love to go for walks and would make a wonderful pair for someone ready to open their hearts and home. For more info, visit www.whatcomhumane.org

Shelter dog Cali was hanging out today with WHS animal care staffer Emma and both realized that the shelter is running low on warm blankets for the dogs. Uh Oh!

With winter just a few weeks away, it's important that the shelter has a good supply of blankets to keep our shelter dogs (and cats and other animals) warm and dry. Donations of blankets (any kind except NO electric blankets please) any size - new or used - are needed and would be appreciated. Donations can be dropped off at our Division Street shelter Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm.

For those "Boxer People" interested in learning more about Cali . . . she is a beautiful 4 year old female that needs someone with time and energy to invest in her future. A home with NO cats or small animals would be best. She can be selective with other dogs, but did live with another boxer in her previous home. Visit www.whatcomhumane.org for more info.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

No autographs please . . . introducing the one, the only, the legend . . . Miss Dolly PartHen.

Miss PartHen arrived at the Whatcom Humane Society last week and is now available for adoption and looking for a permanent, responsible and loving home to call her own. She is a lovely layer hen that is extremely social and would love a flock to join. A secure, roomy coop, kept clean would be essential for Dolly - she is after all a celebrity and used to VIP accommodations.

If you are looking to add a super sweet hen to your flock, visit Whatcom Humane Society. For more info, contact us at: [email protected] or 360-733-2080 ext 0.

Meet Mr. Alastor Moody - a 4 year old male pitbull ready to find a BFF. Alastor, or Al, as his friends at the shelter call him, is an energetic, fun-loving dog with a lot of s***k! He came to us as a stray so not much is known about his history, but we do know he's more than ready to find his new forever adventure buddy. Alastor would benefit from continued training to help him brush up on some manners (like keeping all 4 paws on the floor and walking nicely on leash.) With a little time and consistency, this handsome fellow should catch on in no time. Alastor has a 10/10 tail wag/wigglebutt and will full-body-lean into your legs for optimum pets. We think he'd really love a spot next to you on the couch (or better yet, your bed if you'll let him!) although he said he's also perfectly happy curling up at your feet instead (he promises to keep them warm!). He may have some sight impairment in one of his eyes, but that does not slow him down a bit. He can be a bit dog selective, but has been in our daily dog playgroup where he has made friends. A home with cats or small animals might be too much for him and because he was a stray, we have unknown history about his previous living arrangements.

For more info, visit www.whatcomhumane.org or stop by Whatcom Humane Society Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm.
