We all know how hard it is for Emergency Vet access for strays. We need your help!

Tonight we picked up a dog from the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State who had been stuffed behind a seat in a 2 seater truck, stolen vehicle. Upon getting her back to our place, we noticed she was acting erraticly. Extremely erratic.

We could not get help from the ER with an agreement with the County, so we called Columbia River Veterinary Specialists for help. We were very close to their location and decided to head their way while enroute.

We believe this 12-14week old puppy may have ingested or been exposed to a drug or chemicals. We needed her to get help. Right now, they are running a drug urine test and exam, at that is just the beginning at ~$250.

We have the pups abandoned at the church headed in to the vet at 7am, Whiskey was just vetted, Luna(you havent met yet) was just vetted and scheduled for her spay, Frankie was just vetted and is scheduled for his neuter, Boo Kitty found at the rest stop has to be vetted to be flown to her mom, the list goes on. And we still have grandma pup from Woodland to get checked out. We could use your help, tremendously right now.

Please consider donating to help us at the very least cover the cost of this puppy’s er visit and if you are feeling generous, we could sure use the help to get the rest of these kids second round vetting handled. But right now, we need this puppy to be ok.

This little gent of a muscovy found its way to a business and had been hanging out there a few days.
Dookie Duck was found near CaplesRoad and 503 in Brush Prairie near Prairie Tavern.
The business has a large big truck presence entering and exiting their property and they were worried ole Dookie here would be ….. hurt.

He is safe here hanging out with the Feathered Flock and a friendly Ms Dookie from afar.

Are you missing your Dookie Duck?

Here is a better version of the video ❤️

**Correction to the story, AMR ambulance picked up the pup enroute to an emergency in Battle Ground. Battle Ground Fire took custody of the pup and reach out to BG Pd Officer Scott who then contacted us for assistance. It takes a village and this village is the absolute best! ❤️❤️**

Although it may be the season for fear and fright, one Vancouver family got far more of it than they would have liked when their dog went missing for days.

We hope to see you all there!

We need to have some tough conversations in this County. As a community, we need to stand up and demand better from our local government.

Let's have another PackTalk on Sunday, how about Noon? Does that work for you?

We need to talk about what our responsibility as a community is, in making sure we are provided the services we need from those who are supposed to serve us with our tax dollars, to take care of the animals in this community.

As much as you have heard me complain about animal control and it's issues, the issue is much bigger that just that department. As an organization, we rely on agencies such as Animal Control to support our Community so we can supplement where there are gaps.

Listen folks, this County, Clark County, with a population of more than 508,683 people in it currently has 1..........you heard me right... 1 animal control officer. This is not an AC Manager problem (no matter what our differences may be), it isn't a Code Enforcement Manager issue, it is a TOPs down issue with our County Councilors, County Manager, and Community Development Director that do not feel like this County needs to protect the animals in it.

This is not a new problem. The last three AC managers tried vigorously to get support and were met with brick walls.

5 years ago, when you called to report animal abuse, there was no prosecution, no punishment, no accountability because that costs the County money. Same with 10 years ago. Same with now.

A big part of this problem is US. We as a community have been silent. We keep voting in folks without asking them what they stand for in this realm. We bury our heads in the sand and just expect things to happen as we think they should, and when they don't, we blame everyone but ourselves.

We need to break the cycle. Animals are suffering. Humans are suffering. There is no help coming unless we rise up and start the conversation. Demand accountability. Demand Change.

"1" animal control officer, for 656 square miles. "1". That should really p**s you off. The sad fact is, there have been great potential officers working and this County has burned them out instead of doing right by them. The one officer employed at this time, Russ, has 13 years of experience and is pretty damn great. If you think we won't lose him to being overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated, you would be wrong. There is one trainee but with only one officer, there is no training.

From the top down, things need to change. We would never tell you who to vote for, but what we would say is if animal lives in this community (or whatever community you live in) matter, NOW is the time to stand up, email, call, meet those who you would vote for and get it in writing what they stand for. Do they stand for supporting this community and the animal welfare needs a community this size requires? Find out, in writing, what they will do to support us. Don't accept the fluff. ASK the HARD questions.

County Councilors decide how these departments can be staffed.
Our County Manager takes home more than $180k per year according to the public pay scale. Our Prosecuting Attorney, who does not want to try Animal Cruelty cases took home more than $200k in salary in 2020 according to openpayrolls.com. Director of Community Development is making more than $120k/yr based on the County public pay scales. You can see all of these numbers yourself at https://clark.wa.gov/human-resources/exempt-pay-plan

Why can't we demand accountability? Why do we allow them to NOT meet with us, NOT respond to us, NOT make time for us? Our tax dollars are paying their salaries, not including medical, dental, 401ks, so much time off, etc.

Organizations like us who are meant to support existing departments not BE their departments, can not do it all.

See you Sunday, at noon. Bring a snack and questions! 😲

***Rokie’s owners have been found and they are headed here to pick him up ***

Is this your pup? He was found by a good sam earlier today running on St Johns and taken to Vancouver Vet. The Vet could not get animal control to respond or return their call so they called us for help.

He is here at The Pack hoping his owners find him before he has to go to the shelter tomorrow.
Please give us a shout if this is your pup! 360.606.1860

This is the "rough draft" of the layout for our buildings and the fab new park area! I know, it's totally second grade stuff here but you get the gist!! 😍😂🤣🤣

It's looking better and better as we get through the inspections and appraisals for this property. Inspections are done, now we are just waiting on the responses for a few fixes to the home. Please keep us in your thoughts and channeling this dream! We could really use the good juju 🤩😎

This is not going to be a cheap undertaking, so please know fundraising is here! If you are looking to donate to a worthy cause, we would love your support.🤝

Just in fencing alone, we are looking at A LOT. If you know someone that owns a fencing company or YOU own one and would like to donate your time/materials to the build, please reach out! We are looking for 5-6' Black coated Chain Link Fencing with rails, and a safe leash up box at the top.

If you are or know of an excavating company that would like to help us get the road in come Mid May, we would LOVE you forever! 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

If you are a PAVING company Concrete or ASPHALT company that can help us with the road top, we would be so grateful!!

It is going to take a village, but we are determined to make this happen. We intend to get the Non-Profit Moved in before we ever move so we will be hitting the ground running.

We are hoping to close by 5/10 if all the stars align to give those of you with "connections" to those companies scheduling timeframes.

Thank you all for supporting us and this mission. We cannot do it without you and look forward to serving our community even more.
