This is Ally & Jovi. They’re both up for adoption and share something in common: they’re super wary of people! More so than most dogs.

Jovi (black dog) is one year old and Ally (wire haired dog) is 2.5 years old. They’re both looking for a home with a securely fenced yard (preferably tall privacy fence), at least 1 confident dog to learn the ropes from, no small kids, and someone with lots of patience.

Have you ever thought, I need a dog challenge in my life? Well, here they are! They get along fabulously if you’d like to double the challenge.

Jovi is super sweet once he gets to know you, but it takes time. He’s been with his foster since November and he’s completely normal with them now in the house. He comes up for pets, he listens, and he plays great with other dogs. He’s fully potty and crate trained. He doesn’t do great when people come to visit and he cannot walk on leash on a street. He’s decent on walks in the woods. He takes a long time to warm up to knew people. When his foster goes on vacation another amazing foster takes him. He loves their dog and loves to play but is a giant weirdo when he’s there. He has to be carried outside in the morning, and if anything unexpected happens, he shuts down. He’s been to her house probably close to a dozen times and stays weird. Adopting Jovi would come with at least a few months of patience before he reaches full potential.

Ally has been with her foster for 2 months and still doesn’t come up for pets. She listens beautifully though and follows the pack with ease. If the others do it, she will too. If you reach for her, she’s out of there. Luckily, you don’t have to reach for her often! Ally is tiny at around 10 lbs, and very agile. She plays HARD with other dogs, and loves it. She still barks at the foster man sometimes when he enters a room, but she’s tolerant of foster lady.. She even jumps on foster lady when she comes home, which we think means friendship is happening any day now. She won’t walk on leash at all. She is perfectly potty and crate trained.

Neither of these pups have any aggression towards humans, just fear. If you have to handle them, you can, but it doesn’t help build trust.

They can be adopted separately or together, if you really want to put in effort. And it is a lot of effort, but we think it’s worth it.

Follow up to “The Ride to Hudson”. 41 cats went - hard to count when carriers and traps have 2 cats inside and it was crazy loud. 25 cats were female and 16 were male, several cats needed and antibiotic shots and several needed flea meds.

So, trip in June ,July and August for a total of 101 cats. 65 were female and 36 were males.

I was told yesterday that a female cat can have 150 viable kittens in her lifetime.

All of these cats were fixed and given a rabies and distemper vaccine. The cats’ left ear was tipped, this allows a trapper to know that that particular cat was already fixed, no need to take to vet.

A huge thank you
To AnimalKind for providing the opportunity to get feral & stray cats fixed and vaccinated. This protects our community, provides services to those that can’t afford and reduces the number of strays in our community.

Thank You AnimalKind!!!

At this time of year, the odds of coming across a kitten outdoors go way up! While so many good samaritans want to step in and help a kitten or kittens found cold and alone, here are a couple of important reminders! First, if you find a group of kittens, mom might not be far away but hiding from you. Kittens remaining with moms is always best! Second, a kitten that is shivering and cold needs to be warmed up before any other interventions are tried. Providing warmth is the highest priority for a kitten in distress. Trying to feed replacement formula to a cold kitten can cause their body to shut down completely. The graphic below provides great information on how to assess temperature and warm properly before feeding is attempted. Gums should be pink and paws should feel warm before food is offered. This extra step can be the difference between life and death.
