Message from the WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center . . .

Our marine mammal stranding network recently received reports of a male California Sea Lion residing on the lower portion of Taylor Dock near Boulevard Park. These males typically migrate during the winter to feeding areas off of our coastline, so it is not unusual to see them at this time. While this sea lion appears to be in healthy condition, they can carry zoonotic diseases that are easily transmitted to humans and pets, and getting too close can cause the sea lions stress or result in injuries.

With authorization from Bellingham Parks and Recreation, our team roped off the area and provided educational signs. We want to remind the public that approaching or harassing these marine mammals is against federal law. Please observe this seal lion with respect from a distance of at least 100 feet and do not allow any pets to approach. Until he has moved on, please use other docks to tie up any boats.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Whatcom Humane Society Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at 360-966-8845. Thank you!

We badly need pet food donations - especially DRY & CANNED CAT & DOG FOOD to help pets in need.

Our pet food bank program provides pet food to the pets of low income community members. It operates entirely by donation. Donations of dry and canned dog and cat food and treats (any brand except we cannot accept prescription diets), litter and small animal food can be dropped off at our Division Street shelter Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 6pm.

Open bags are fine as long as their are clearly marked and not expired.

Please support one of our amazing local grocery stores, pet supply stores and/or businesses with a purchase - or if that is not possible or convenient, you can order directly from our Amazon wishlist and food/supplies can be shipped directly to our shelter.

So proud of Whatcom Humane Society staffers Kailee, Leila, Amy & Auna. These animal welfare rockstars are spending the week in eastern Washington volunteering at The Big Fix - a four-day, free spay/neuter event held at the Okanogan County Fairgrounds.

Thanks to Team Okanogan Animal Rescue & Greater Good Charities for hosting this life-saving event. We are so proud to play a part in supporting this event and helping to reduce pet overpopulation in our State and Region.

Meet Newt - a very handsome young adult male German Shepherd looking for someone to invest in his future. Newt arrived to Whatcom Humane Society as a stray, found in southeastern Whatcom County. His history in unknown. He can be a bit cautious when meeting new people but warms up once he decides you are okay in his book . . . cheese and stinky dog treats help with that process! He is learning some basic manners and would love a new home that could enroll him in positive, based obedience training so he could continue to use his super smart brain to learn new things and help socialize with other dogs and people.

If you are looking to open your heart and home to a bit of a project dog, please visit www.whatcomhumane.org to learn more - or stop by the shelter Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm.
