GREAT DAY for this beautiful barn owl. After arriving at our wildlife rehabilitation center several weeks ago as an injured juvenile, he was released back into the wild this afternoon. Prior to his release our wildlife center staff, volunteer and intern teams worked tirelessly to make sure he was able to survive in the wild, hunt and thrive.
Due to the relatively young age of this owl, he was released on our wildlife center property which has a perfect habitat for him, including barn owl boxes built by our volunteers.
Fly free Mr.Owl! It was an honor to care for you.

Theo is a young mixed breed pup available for adoption and looking for a best friend to invest in his future. This happy boy is silly, affectionate, and smart!

Kanoodle (young male Shepherd) and Gertrude (blk/wht mix) are hoping they can get some pool-side service today.

BOTH DOGS would also like to order up wonderful new homes that they could call their own. www.whatcomhumane.org
Shelter pup Theo (6 month old blk-wht mixed breed) and his playgroup buddy Cubbie (young mixed breed) had a great time this morning ... and wisely stayed in the shade while they ran and played. THRILLED to report that Cubby was adopted today ... so Theo is now in need of a new friend. Come meet this sassy, smart dog and the many others currently available for adoption. www.whatcomhumane.org

Attendees included Theo (small white w black spots), Honey (lrg white w brown face), Oreo (larger bernedoodle w red leash), Bear (smaller bernedoodle w lighter paws).

Visit www.whatcomhumane.org or stop by the shelter Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm to meet them in person. THANKS to our AMAZING staff and volunteer teams for conducting daily dog play groups - it is so important for our canine population.
Fun in the Sun for sassy shelter dogs Ramona (1 year old female tab/white mixed breed) and Ginny (8 month old female blk shep) who had a great play session in our dog exercise yards.

Shelter pup Otis is READY for summer. He just needs a new home to enjoy it with. Otis is a young mixed breed pup that arrived to WHS very scared and lacking basic socialization. THANKS to our amazing volunteer and staff teams, he has started coming out of his shell. He LOVES water and playing. He would be an ideal companion for someone wanting a bit of a "project dog" to train and love. Of course a home with a yard able to accommodate a nice kiddie swimming pool would be a big bonus for this sweet guy. Visit Otis at our Division Street shelter. We are open Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm. www.whatcomhumane.org
Fun in the sun for these two goofballs today at our Division Street shelter. Jax (2 year old male Husky) & Cheddar (1 year old male shep x) has a doggone great time wrestling, running and getting dirty. Both these AWESOME dogs have been at the shelter for TOO LONG patiently waiting to find forever homes.
Visit them at Whatcom Humane Society Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm. For more info, visit www.whatcomhumane.org
4 year old female mixed breed dog Panthera is probably the "snuggliest" dog currently available for adoption at the Whatcom Humane Society . . . but she is so nervous and stressed in our kennels, potential adopters don't see her full potential . . . and snuggle-ability. Once out of the kennels and hanging with her favorite volunteers, like Todd she comes out of her shell and loves to hang out and have fun.
Panthera is a gentle giant looking for her forever lap to snuggle up in. She was an outdoor only only dog in her previous home and is really looking forward to living the rest of her days indoors as a valued member of the family. Panthera is smart, sweet and will likely be a "velcro dog" with her new human, wanting to be as close to your side as possible. Panthera would likely do best in a home where she has access to a secure/fenced yard, maybe with a dog door so she can go in and out as she pleases. This big ol snuggle bug is going to be a great BFF to some lucky person, if it sounds like that could be you, visit her Tuesday thru Saturday 11am - 6pm or visit www.whatcomhumane.org and submit an adoption application to schedule a meet and greet.
Great energy at our big gala tonight! ❤

GREAT DAY for the North American beaver that has been receiving care at the WHS wildlife rehabilitation center. He was released back into the wild! This little guy arrived to our wildlife center badly injured. He defied all odds and made a full recovery thanks to the efforts of our staff and volunteer teams. State Fish & Wildlife staff worked with our wildlife center staff to identify a good location for his release taking into consideration where he was found and environmental and watershed issues.
Good luck Mr. Beaver - thanks for allowing us to care for you.
Have a wonderful, wild life!
