⚠️July 4 Safety Message⚠️
Trash and debris left behind after festivities can be harmful and even fatal to area wildlife. It’s a human health hazard and degrades the clarity of Lake Tahoe. This year, let’s work together to ensure Lake Tahoe beaches remain pristine and litter-free!

Helpful Tip: Bring a few trash bags along in case trash cans and dumpsters are full or unavailable, and never leave trash outside of or on top of receptacles.

Volunteer: The Keep Tahoe Blue League to Save Lake Tahoe will hold their 12th Annual Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Clean-Up on Saturday, July 5, from 8-11:30 a.m. Anyone interested in volunteering should visit their website at www.keeptahoeblue.org/ for more information.

Be caring with your pets this holiday weekend. The excitement of fireworks and bustling holiday crowds can easily overwhelm even the calmest dog, triggering a panicked escape.

Keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered, and escape-proof area at home. Make sure your pets are always wearing proper identification. A collar with up-to-date ID tags, and ideally, a microchip, will make reuniting with your pet easier.

If your dog is lost in the Truckee area, call Truckee Animal Services at 530-582-7830.

If lost in the North Tahoe area, call Placer County Animal Control at 530-886-5535.

💥Fireworks, gun shots, loud noises & flashing, bright lights are scary for most animals.
🔥You never know when someone is going to set off fireworks or other loud triggering noises.
🆘These things can be traumatizing to them & cause fear & anxiety for life.
🛑Do NOT take your pets to fireworks or places people will be letting off fireworks or other loud noises.
🛑Do NOT leave your cats or dogs outside.
🔹Stay home with your pets.
🔹Give them a good walk earlier in the day.
🔹Give them medication or supplements if needed.
🔹Give them a safe space to hide inside.
🔹Turn on TV or radio & fan to mask outside noises.
🔹Keep window covers closed.
🔹Keep all doors, windows & gates securely shut.
🔹Make sure they have collars with your phone # on it. You can put tape on their collar & write your # on it.
🔹Make sure your pets microchips are updated with correct info.

As you are camping, hiking & traveling with your pets, please think about their safety first.
🔹Keep your dogs leashed at all times. It is in their nature to go after wildlife/critters. They love to go check out new scents. That can lead to them getting confused & lost.
🔺Do not take to places they have to walk on hot surfaces. Dogs sweat thru their feet, so it is dangerous & burns their paws.
🔹Keep cats crated & make sure door is secured shut.
🔹Do not leave windows opened where you're staying. Cats & dogs can & will easily jump out of screened windows.
🔹Be careful opening doors. They can easily & quickly escape.
🛑NEVER leave them in your car or in back of truck.
🛑NEVER take your dogs to fireworks!! They are super scary & loud for them. They will rip a leash right out of your hand & bolt.
💥🔥You never know when some idiot is going to let off fireworks or gunshots near you.
🔺Please keep them secured & indoors.
🆘NEVER leave your pet alone or outside during fireworks. The sounds will trigger them to panic & run for their lives.
🔺Keep all doors, windows & gates closed & secured at all times.
🔺Keep collars & tags with current phone # on them.
🔹Keep a gps collar on them, like Fi. ⚠️No airtags! They are useless on a moving animal.
🔹Microchip your pets & make sure to register them & all information is current.
🔹Keep current full body & face photos of your pet, in your phone.
🔹Give dogs a good walk earlier in day.
🔹Keep radio/tv & fan on to help mask the noise.
🔹Give calming medicine or supplements if needed.
🔹Give them a safe place indoors to hide, like a crate.
🆘If your pet takes off, do NOT chase them or yell their name.
🆘They go into survival mode immediately when triggered.
🛑Do NOT go searching, spreading your scent everywhere. You will be pushing them further away, confusing them & scaring them even more.
🛑STAY where you lost them.
🆘If you see a lost dog, try luring it to you.
🛑Do NOT call out, approach, follow or chase any lost pet!!! 🆘That will only push it to run faster & farther away.
🆘If you find a lost pet, please keep it secure. Take it to your closest animal shelter ASAP. That is the first place an owner will look. Not everyone has social media. Lost pets need to be reunited asap. ⚠️Keeping them is stealing, which is against the law.
♥️Most lost pets can be prevented.
💔It is very stressful & expensive to lose a pet.
❤️They rely on YOU to keep them safe & secure!
🆘If you need our services, CALL 775-721-DOGS (3647) ASAP-before you make any human instinct mistakes.
🔹If we don't get started working with you immediately, we usually will not be able to take the case.
⚠️We do have requirements to work with us.
🔹A contract & donation is required up front before we start working with owners.
🔹We do limit our cases, so we can give 100% to each case.
🔹If we do not have enough volunteers, equipment, supplies or funding available, we won't be able to help.

**** TRIGGER WARNING****

SENSITIVE CONTENT.

Rescue is hard. There are a lot of moving parts. There are animals that depend on you. There are people that depend on you.

There has been a devastating increase (from what I have personally seen and heard) of rescuers taking the forever-nap (🍣🛝). A disproportionate amount seems to be due to bullying/harassment.

This field is hard enough as is. I do not see the point in pulling someone down- whether you agree with what they're doing or not. To take it to THAT personal of a level that someone feels that life-ending steps are the only acceptable way. That's messed up.

We do not allow bullying on our page. We will not.

FOR ANYONE INVOLVED IN RESCUE-

If you are feeling down, feeling bad, feeling overwhelmed, or just feeling something you don't know.....

I am here to support you.

I will listen. I WILL NOT judge you. I will sit with you. I will talk to you all night.

Not a word of what you need to get off your chest will be repeated to ANYONE and it's not going to change how I look at you or feel about you.

Ending your life is not the way. You are seen. You are heard. You are loved.

IF YOU NEED TO TALK, IF YOU NEED HELP- I AM HERE. You can message us and I will give you my personal contact info.

Please, please, please reach out. We're all in this rescue thing together- it is NOT A COMPETITION- and I do not want to lose one more sister or brother in rescue.

I have CPTSD which presents in depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior, on top of adhd. In early 2023, I was getting cancer-surgery. But, I'm still here, pushing. I am telling you this *very* personal information so you know YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We all struggle in one way or another, but if we BAND TOGETHER, we can be the support each other needs and we can press on to fight the good fight another day.

Sometimes you can only take it one day at a time. And that's OK.

🆘NOW is the time to be prepared, have a plan & your pets GO bags packed & ready!!!

🔺Are your pets GO bags packed & ready?

🔹Here is a list of things to do & items to have in your pets GO bags.

❣️ALWAYS BE PREPARED!
