Well for 🦇 sake! Love this and they eat the mosquitos.

Friendly Reminder: If you find a bat inside your house or business this winter—do not release it outside!

In Nebraska, bats that end up in homes during the winter are often hibernating species that have mistakenly woken up. Releasing them outside in cold temperatures can be fatal, as they cannot survive freezing weather. Even on a warm and sunny day, that bat will be unable to find food as there won't be insects out for them to eat in the winter.

Instead, if you find a bat indoors, do not handle it with bare hands. Keep it in a secure, ventilated container and call our hotline for wildlife assistance at (402) 234-2473. We will ensure the bat’s safety and proper care until it can be released in appropriate conditions.

This guy and many who put their 🐾prints on these furry lives we salute you!

They always seemed to pass me by, I never knew the reason why.
All my friends had found a home, And only I remained alone.
But finally somebody came, And spoke to me with gentle tone.
I hardly dared believe it true, Into my human's arms I flew.
Our first embrace - my heart beat fast,
A family of my own at last!
And when tonight I rest my head, In my new warm and cosy bed A prayer I'll send, high up above,
May all the shelter pups find love."

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Desperately seeking a Foster/Adopter 💔

***ACE is still at the shelter*** He is having a very tough time, please help share his story and/or let me know if you can help through fostering or adopting him. He’s located at Great Plains SPCA. Please contact them for more information. 

The animal shelter is at capacity and the pets keep coming. A shelter is no place for a puppy. Every shelter is full, it is a nationwide crisis.
Ace is a 3 month old, Australian Shepherd that came to us from “a commercial puppy breeder”. He is currently petrified at the shelter. He is in urgent need of foster as he is so scared he shakes.

If you can help foster or adopt, please let me know. Please contact Great Plains SPCA.
THANK YOU!

We ❤️ you, Ace!
