We can't believe this handsome donut hasn't been scooped up yet! Adoptable Keno, the perfect cuddle companion for winter, and all-around good boy and best friend 🥰 He's 4 years old, super easy-going, potty & crate trained, trustworthy, and a wonderful comfort. He doesn't need a lot of hustle and bustle, just you, a couch, and a good movie!

It started with reports that didn’t make sense — a moose stumbling through Anchorage, moving strangely, almost as if injured. But when sunlight hit his side, people finally saw the truth:

A backpack was strapped around his body, tangled under his legs, cutting into his skin.

No one knew how it happened. What mattered was that every step made the straps tighter… and the moose weaker.

Residents began calling for help. Not just once — again and again. They tracked him, shared updates, and refused to let him disappear into the woods to suffer alone. By the time wildlife officers arrived, the whole community had already formed an invisible rescue team.

Up close, the situation was worse. The straps had rubbed his fur bald. The bag swung painfully under his belly. He was exhausted.

When the tranquilizer dart hit, he staggered, then sank into the snow — giving rescuers their only chance.

They rushed in.

Cutters worked fast. Straps snapped. The heavy, filthy backpack fell away. And for the first time in days, the moose breathed without pain — a deep, relieved breath that said everything.

Minutes later, he stood again. Unsteady at first… then walking with growing strength. Before slipping back into the forest, he turned once, as if acknowledging the humans who refused to ignore him.

His rescue wasn’t luck.
It was community.
Compassion.
People choosing to act.

Bring A Candle to Light and a Heart to Share

This Sunday, November 16, at 5 PM, on Zoom
(Meeting ID: 990 855 545 / Password: Saintfranc), join us for
our annual Service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance, when we gather in sacred community to honor the animals who have died in 2025.

We will speak their names with love and offer gratitude for the lives we shared with them.

This year’s service encourages more interaction, presence, and shared ritual, including candle lighting and responsive readings.

During our Candle Lighting, participants will be invited to light a candle at home as each pet’s name is read aloud. We will ignite a light in their honor—one flame for every beloved soul.

We will also have a Chat-Based tribute thread open for participants to share:
• Their pet’s name and breed
• A one-line memory or blessing
• A word that captures their pet’s spirit (“joy,” “gentle,”
“protector”, etc.)

And there is this video tribute to help us all share the faces of these glorious creatures who offered us their all.

Join us for the Perfect Paws Annual Service of Thanksgiving and Remembrance Sunday, November 16, at 5 PM on Zoom.

Be with us in loving community to honor the animals who touched our lives and crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2025. This year’s service is interactive and held via Zoom so you can participate from the comfort of your own home. (Meeting ID: 990 855 545 / Password: Saintfranc).

Please bring a candle and a photo of your beloved pet to share on your screen. As we speak each name, we’ll light a candle together in his or her honor.

We invite you to share a short testimony on screen about your pet: their name, breed, age, and a single word that describes their essence in your life (like “joy,” “gentle,” or “protector”).

Together, we will celebrate their memory, share our gratitude, and remember that love never truly dies.

All are welcome, come as you are, and bring your stories, your light, and your love.

To add your pet to our Memory Wall, visit the interactive Perfect Paws Pet Ministry Wall of Remembrance https://padlet.com/perfectpawsmini/perfect-paws-pet-ministry-wall-of-remembrance-e5isu5bky93vf3

May these animal friends fill our hearts with love, their memory bring us peace, and their spirits walk alongside us still. Amen.
