I need some help. 🙏

We are being bombarded with surrender requests for all species. I am just at a loss and have been told that other rescues are not even responding to these people. I need someone to help me make a “master” list of rescues near Olympia/Tacoma or the PNW. I have been finding a few small start up rescues on social media like Facebook and Instagram. Does someone have the time and research ability to make a list of all these options? You will have to do some digging as it is not as simple as just googling rescues, because we know we have all tried that before. All rescues I know of, like us, are at capacity, barely surviving. 🖥️

Two biggest species we need to find alternative rescues for besides us few major rescues, red eared sliders and guinea pigs. 🐢

If you think you have the ability to do this project for us, please email us at [email protected]

We are hoping to have this list by end of August to add to our website. 🗓️

Thank you! 😊

Rest pain free Neo 🌈

Sunday we had to say goodbye to Neo. We noticed he was a bit lethargic Saturday so we fed critical care and monitored him closely. Sunday morning he was no longer able to use his back legs. Our vet suspects a stroke. 🏥

Neo had been battling teeth issues for what seems like ever. Luckily he never needed a full dental but he was getting incisor trims every few weeks. He leaves behind his best friend Phoenix who is lost without him. 💔

The babies! 🍼

These five babies were born just 1 week after intake. Both the parents were dumped at petsmart and they called us for help. 🤰

We have 3 boys and 2 girls. The girls both have reddish eyes while the boys have dark eyes. The grey boy is double the size of his siblings, I think he is going to be a BIG boy when grown up. They are not available for adoption quite yet. 👁️

Edward update: 👑

Remember the guinea pig that was abandoned at a dead end road that had severe upper respiratory issues? Well he is off antibiotics finally after what seemed like forever. Unfortunately he had mites and was covered in scabs and SO itchy, so he under going treatment for that. Thankfully he has been in quarantine so no risk to the other animals in rescue. I feel bad he is probably lonely but as soon as treatment is done he will get to move into the animal room. 🐽

Occasionally we still hear some noises from him. At his last visit we were worried about the URI and his lungs, we didn’t take a skull x-ray to check for CBS. Otherwise, he is happy, FAT and enjoying being in the kitchen where he gets possibly too many mid day snacks! He is such a sweet and gentle ol’ guy. He LOVES head pets and ear scratches. 👂

We will have the veterinary team do a recheck and skull x-ray hopefully this weekend. We hope that he is clear for adoption and able to find a loving home to spoil him and love him like he deserves! 🩻

His hair is finally growing out and looking so good now! I can’t wait for it to all grow back so we can see what he actually looks like. 📸

Bart update 🏥

Bart was doing really well in his recovery the first few days. We noticed on Thursday night his weight was a bit down and by Friday he was down over 100g. We started extra critical care feedings and noticed when he was peeing he was crying. This is a HUGE red flag for animals, especially males with the risk of urinary blockage. 🚽

Luckily our regular veterinary hospital was able to fit him in on Saturday for an exam. We had not seen any blood in his urine or calcium deposits and he was still on antibiotics from his leg so we were really unsure what was going on. The vet was able to express his bladder and did note that there was some blood and on X-ray there was sludge in the bladder but no stone thank goodness. 🩻

We have been doing fluid therapy, extra liquidy critical care and making sure he is eating all his veggies. Today he finally turned a corner and his weight has gone a bit back up, his demeanor is more himself and he ate all his veggies without prompting! 🥬

Healing vibes needed for our Baby Barty Boy! 🙏

Bart update! 🥰

Bart went to the vet Wednesday last week where they pulled off his scab to see what was underneath. Well as to be expected and the whole reason I protected that thing was because when it came off they couldn’t get the bleeding to stop. We originally had surgery planned for this coming weekend but they said it couldn’t wait. He had emergency surgery Friday last week. They kept him until about 10pm and when he got home he was SO groggy. We force fed him and checked on him every hour. ⏰

Saturday we had an event to attend to we couldn’t miss but he was in such a fragile state and needed fed so he got to come along. He did absolutely amazing on our adventure and wasn’t bothered by it. Through the day he started perking up and acting more like himself. By the end of the day he was scooting around his cage and saying hi to his girlfriend. ♥️

A HUGE thank you to everyone that helped with the yard sale, donations and support for Bart. He is going to be in less pain and happier without that narly leg. 🦵

Stevie’s favorite activity is diving into his hay pile. Plus giving me a scare about a hay poke to the eye. Luckily the hay wasn’t actually in his eye and fell off as I picked him up. 🌾

Sorry we haven’t been posting much. With the recent emergency visits, emergency intake, yard sales and recently born babies we have been running around like crazy. I will introduce the babies as soon as I can, you will not want to miss out on them! 😍
