#Animal Rescue

[cali-rose-38]

✨ to be loved & abandoned is the worst betrayal. To live 8 yrs trusting someone & one day in the middle of winter they aregone is heartbreaking. But to trust a stranger & fall in love all over again is the reminder that humanity is a gift empathy is a blessing & compassion is our greatest frequency ✨

I will never understand why people leave them behind ✨🖤

Sulala Animal Rescue is the only licensed animal shelter in Gaza and despite the odds, they have managed to continue their work even during this genocide.

This is their official Twitter/X account, which has posted the following links for donations:

There’s this guy in town who owns this little house, and a while back he rescued a street dog that was going to get put down. Turned out she was pregnant.

Problem is, he has mental health & drug issues and couldn’t afford to get them all spayed & neutered, so now there are 6 grown bitches with 15 puppies total, and they’ve dug under his fence in multiple places but he can’t afford to fix it so they go roaming all around town. (When I say can’t afford it, I mean his house is currently running on a generator because he can’t afford his electric bill.) He’s also a day laborer so he cannot take multiple full days off work to take them to the vet an hour away. He’s in a really rough spot.

He’s not a bad person. He’s just overwhelmed.

And this little conservative town with 6 churches for 300 people, have they tried to help their neighbor? Have they adopted the puppies he’s been trying to give away? Have they offered resources?

NOPE! All they wanna do is talk shit about him and complain about the dogs but never lift a finger of their own. And they come to his house to yell at him and cuss him out about the dogs, which does not exactly engender in him a cooperative attitude, as you might imagine.

So after a while of this going on, my mom gets fed up with all the NIMBY bullshit and starts talking to the guy, because she’s done animal rescue for 20-odd years and has Connections. He’s resistant at first, but when he realizes she’s not being an asshole to him on account of his addiction or the dogs, he decides to let her help.

She gets to work organizing and networking. Finds a non-profit that will cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, and flea treatments for all the dogs. Talks the next-door neighbor into paying for materials to fix the fence, since this guy can do the work of it himself. Gets him in touch with another non-profit that will adopt out the adult dogs.

Less than 2 weeks after she decided to do something, all puppies have been to the vet, 10 puppies and 4 adult dogs have been adopted out, and the second non-profit is coming by next week to pick up the remaining 7 dogs to ship them out for adoption.

I’ve learned a lot of things from my mom—some good, some bad—but I think the most important positive message she lives as an example of is this: sometimes, when something needs done and no one else is willing, you gotta stand up and say “I’ll do it.”

Please support my beloved friend @eslammsaidd and her family. I was hoping to submit her to @gazavetters today but she hasn’t had internet since last night. She is very much a real teenage girl in Gaza, who desperately needs more support. You can see links to her social media on her linktree here and there’s a video on her Chuffed campaign, watch it to learn more.

Saving life! . . . How lucky for this baby that she was able to save him from a horribly slow death.♥️

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to get help for one of my rescue pups, Atlas was adopted a few months back but is having trouble adapting to his new pack, we're looking to get him a trainer so he can stay with his family who loves him deeply, the trainer is rather expensive so anything that anyone could give to help us get to th goal would mean a lot!

Reblogs very much appreciated!

Hi, friends! 💕 My name is Milly, and I’ve been a rescuer for years. I started independently, with just a lot of love and determination, and now I’m proud to be part of Gari Cd. Juárez, where we work every day to save and care for animals in need.

Rescue work is my passion, but it’s not always easy. This January is particularly tough because we don’t have adoption events, which means fewer resources to cover essentials like food, litter, and medicine.

To help keep things going, I also do lives on TikTok, where I share our rescues’ stories, their progress, and the love that goes into giving them a second chance. If you’d like to support our mission, any donation—no matter how small—goes a long way to help these furry friends. 🌈🐾

My content is in Spanish, and I apologize if that makes it harder for some of you to follow along—but the love for these animals knows no language barrier! 💕

Every bit of support means the world, not just to me but to all the lives we’re fighting for. Thank you for being part of this rescue family! 💖

With love, Milly

Today is apparently ANGRY STABBY BIRB DAY.

I was taking a walk on the boardwalk out near Bolstadt in Long Beach, when I came across this western grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) stranded on the path ahead of me. It looked alert and uninjured, so chances were just that it couldn't take flight off of the hard surface, but I called Peninsula Wild Care anyway to see if they wanted to bring it in for a checkup.

They quickly coordinated a couple of volunteers to meet me nearby, and I needed to get the grebe out of the way since a lot of people walk their dogs there and not all of them are on leashes. I figured okay, this is a relatively small bird, not as big as the muscovies I've carted around on the farm, and it seems calm, right?

NOPE. As I tried to gently reach for the grebe it turned from a calm, if confused pile of feathers on the decking to Stabby McStabberson, and I very nearly got jabbed and nipped a few times by a long, pointy beak attached to a surprisingly agile and very much NOT happy bird. I ended up having to take my hoodie off and dropping it over the entire grebe, and only when the lights were out could I bundle it up and carry it over to the meeting place.

Since it was pretty energetic, not obviously sick or injured, and its body condition felt decent (at least through the hoodie) I'm hoping it's going to get released soon enough after a checkup and a nice meal of fish. Many waterbirds have a lot of trouble taking off from hard surfaces because their feet are so far back on their bodies--which is great for swimming and water takeoffs, but not so helpful on land. If the bird had stayed stranded there they could have been injured or killed by another animal, or ended up dehydrated.

So let's hear it for Stabby the Angry Grebe, and wish them a good release back into the wild!
