Jackie Dale-TheCatMother/Cat Trapper: Ebb and Flow, (Mostly Flow)

2024 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Jackie Dale, Pets

by Jackie Dale

The cats and kittens have continued to flow both in and out this month. Most of these felines had happy endings that consisted of them going to rescue. Seventeen lucky kitties went to rescue this month!!
One young cat had a not-so-happy ending. I picked up a severely malnourished female cat at a packing house near my home. A lady who worked there witnessed the poor thing nearly get taken out by a forklift so she contacted me. I picked her up immediately. However, despite my best efforts, the poor thing passed away three days later. Her starved little body just couldn’t recover.

by Stacy Lynch Dodd

Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno (LRRF) is pleased to offer you a very special two-for-one deal––adopt the fabulous Eevee and get a bonus teddy bear! You see, her teddy bear stuffie is her very bestest friend. He has been there through it all with Eevee––the death of her beloved person, witnessing the death of her companion dog, getting dumped at that scary shelter, the pain of her torn ACL, meeting that really nice Defender of Dogs person who rescued her, getting comfortable in her foster home, her subsequent TPLO (Tibial-Plateau-Leveling Osteotomy) leg surgery recovery––and now Eevee and her bear are finally ready to find their forever family.

Happy Go Lucky Wheaties

by Lee Juslin

Breydon, a five-month-old Wheatie, came into Greater NY/NJ Scottie Rescue from a Mennonite puppy mill. Like so many puppy mill dogs, he has a genetic defect in that he has no knee joint in a rear leg. To make matters worse, he was kept in a cage preventing the leg muscles from strengthening. Consequently, he was dragging his leg when he came into rescue.

Animal Rescue of Fresno: Pancakes, Puppies, and Doggy Kisses

2024 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Pets

by Wendy Hunter

Well, it’s been a crazy busy weekend, including Easter, Cesare Chavez Day, and my parents’ 69th anniversary. And if my lovely father were still here, he would be savoring a nicely chilled martini this evening. Tito’s please, two olives, and very light on the vermouth. And like most red-blooded sports fans, he would currently be obsessed with the wild and wacky world of college basketball, also known as March Madness.

Jackie Dale-TheCatMother/Cat Trapper: Take These Cats Please

2024 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Jackie Dale, Pets

by Jackie Dale

The past month has been a literal “catnado” of cats. Just since my last column I have sent 30 cats to rescue and helped fix over 50 cats. The bulk of those were TNR projects but some were private pets. I help people get appointments and navigate the Cat House on the Kings new voucher system. It is pretty simple but not everyone is computer savvy so I help them get the vouchers, make the appointments and often I must assist with transporting the cat as well.

Fresno Bully Rescue: Rusty

by Terese Shaw

Returning a dog to Fresno Bully Rescue is something that we don't hear about often. This may be because there are feelings of guilt or the returning adopters are criticized by friends, neighbors, or even family members. But dogs get returned often and sometimes it's for the best. The scenarios when thinking about returning a dog are endless, and it's nobody's business to judge. With that being said, let's talk about a good boy, Rusty, that's been returned twice.

Animal Rescue of Fresno: Beware the Ides of March

2024 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Pets

by Wendy Hunter

I know I always say that Fall is my favorite season, but that’s usually in October. That’s when Halloween comes rolling around and all the ghouls and goblins creep sneak out from the city’s darkest corners. Then every year I say that Winter is my favorite season, but that’s when Christmas rolls around, and my heart gets all sweet and mushy for baking, tree decorating, and family gatherings.
