Major Thom discovered the Dragon this week and cant stop watching him. Of course, when I turned on the camera he stopped acting like a total little monster. Thom has really come out of his shell and we are starting to see a side of him that really makes us laugh. He reminds us so much of Clint Eastwood in Eldorado. Always complaining about something and wanting to boss around all the neighbors. 🤣😂🤣😂

Foxy Brown is at the vet today getting spayed. This sweet girl, who we are guessing is probably around 10 years old or older, was found as a stray a month ago.

She is a gentle reminder of the importance of REGISTERING YOUR MICROCHIP.
When Foxy Brown first came into rescue we were thrilled that she was microchipped. That happiness quickly turned to sadness when the microchip company informed us that her chip hadn't been registered. With their help we were able to find out which Veterinary Clinic microchipped her. They were in Missouri, which was sad thinking that somebody had an updated her chip with such a long move.
Sadly the new owner of the clinic did not have access to any of the old records and once we located the original veterinarian he had not kept them either, especially for chips that he sold to breeders, (his words, not ours). We don't know if Foxy Brown was a breeder or from a breeders litter but either way her Missouri microchip was never registered and last week the microchip company cleared her registration and now her chip is registered to us. Today besides being spayed she had all her vaccines microchip and full blood work to make sure she is as healthy as can be. Our vet believes she may be anywhere between 6 and 10 years old.

we are starting the fun of finding her a good forever home. This girl needs a good quality fence and definitely someone who understands or is willing to learn about the breed. Foxy has been very calm and fits in well with most dogs. She would do best with a male dog her size or larger. Even cats have been okay with her in her foster home. Considering that we think she's a senior, she is still very alert and active and would make a great hiking companion. She hasn't had much training on a leash and is definitely focused on exploring. We think that is probably part of the reason why she was found as a stray. She does have this world famous Shiba scream. LOL

Shiba's overall are generally not for the first time or inexperienced dog owner. They tend to remind people more of cats than they do dogs. They are very devoted to their people, but they can also appear aloof and indifferent at times and especially with strangers. They are not super cuddlers and make great alert dogs. They also tend to be very clean dogs, again a cat kind of trait.

Foxy will officially go up on the Petfinder website today and we are hoping to find her a good quality home in the very near future. This girl deserves only good things. If you know someone who is interested in adopting a wonderful older dog who has finished up all her vet care and is healthy with a good heart and ready to become your friend, send them our way.

Boy I know a lot of Us wish we all looked this good after surgery. Nami went in this morning for her dental, rabies, a thorough inspection to make sure she was spayed which thankfully she was, and we even had the chip implanted while she was out for her dental. This sweet girl has been through such a tough life that the last thing we want to do is ever cause her any pain. She had three teeth removed and probably in the next couple of years she's going to have to have a couple more removed but other than that she is all ready to find her wonderful forever home.

We got Nami through the Napavine Police Department. She is an adorable little senior that loves walks in the park and rambunctious games of Fetch and other play games with her people. She does cute little dances for attention and she enjoys car rides and does well with other small dogs although she definitely prefers to be the head diva and chief lap warmer. She wants to spend her retirement time with people always. We are guessing she's probably about 7 to maybe 8 years old.

We are looking for the type of home that has the freedom to take her with them or to make her an important part of their life. She would love some people that are retired but active enough to still enjoy fun and games and she will definitely make someone so happy.

Visit our website at: www.valhallarescue.org/adopt and submit an online application so that you can be approved for Nami or one of our other amazing dogs.

UPDATE: OWNER FOUND AND BILLIE HAS BEEN RETURNED. We also gave the owner the information so that they can update their contact information on Billie'ss microchip. And thankfully we recognized the name attached to the microchip and was able to take Billie home.

10:00 a.m. in the morning and already stray dogs are wandering up to our gate. This sweet girl is microchipped but I don't think the phone number is correct because the message left a different name, but we did leave our phone number and hopefully the owners will get back to us soon. We might know where someone lives that owns this dog so we are going to drive up in a little bit to see if we can verify it's their dog.

Today is the 4th of july! Please put a collar on your dog with ID on it so we can return them asap. Thankfully this dog has a microchip but it may not be current.

Chewbacca, Chewy for short, is still looking for his forever home. Microchipped, vaccinated and altered this boy has had everything done and just turned a year old. He's a big moose of a dog and would be great in an active home. He is good with big dogs but will chase small dogs. If you are looking for a good hiking companion walking or running companion or somebody who absolutely loves to retrieve this is your dog.

Contact us here in Valhalla for more information. He is located in Washington state but we adopt in Washington, Oregon and some areas in Idaho.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT IS HELPING US WITH CAT FOOD AND CAT LITTER!

The Winlock cats are very grateful as well as we are. We have 12 cats in our program and there is a few more we still need to trap and find homes. We appreciate you all so much for helping us help those in need here in Lewis County.

It's not very often that we do a horse rescue, But this is the beauty of working with rescues you respect and who know you. Madison Grove Farm is a phenomenal sanctuary and a place for healing of both humans and the animals we all love. If you ever get the chance or ever had the need to volunteer at a fantastic organization, one of the few that I highly recommend.
