Sweet momma and babies coming our way…help us help them! ❤️💥‼️ URGENT ‼️💥

🙏😢Help us save this Aurora & 8 Pups 😢🙏

A pittie Momma and 8 babies (that aren't even hers) sitting and waiting for a miracle in a municipal county shelter! This mom, Aurora, has been a rockstar having not only cared for her own babies in the shelter environment (who have since been pulled into fosters), but she stayed in the shelter to mother 8 orphaned puppies as if they were her own!!

To save this family will require a LOT of work and EXPENSES for both us (PFR) and our dear friends at Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor who are teaming up with us on this BIG SAVE. We need to raise funds to cover everything from supplies, to vetting, to transport!! Saving a family like this costs THOUSANDS!!

All donated funds on this FB or IG campaign will be shared between the two rescues and any funds donated via PayPal, IG, or Check noting “Aurora & Pups” will also be shared!

This family will truly take a village rallying behind them … can we count on you to help us??

Kitten season is calling… ☎️

Did you know that one unspayed cat can quickly lead to a whole lot of kittens?

It’s true! A single female cat can have multiple litters each year, and before you know it, the number of cats can skyrocket. Kittens can go into heat as early as 6 months of age!

That’s why our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program is so important. Our humane program helps reduce overpopulation by ensuring that cats are spayed or neutered, leading to healthier and happier feline communities.

Let’s work together to make a difference! If you know of any unspayed cats in your area, consider reaching out to APS-FH for support. 🐈🐈‍⬛

Call (360) 378-2158, or email shelter@apsfh.com for more information. ... See MoreSee Less

Tick Season is Here—Protect Your Pets ‼️

Make sure your furry friends stay safe while enjoying the outdoors! 🌷Ticks can cause a range of health problems for our pets, from mild irritation to life-threatening diseases.

🐾 Here’s how to keep your pets tick-free this season:

1. Use Preventatives: Talk to your vet about monthly tick preventatives—topical, oral, or collars.

2. Check After Every Walk: Especially after hikes or time in tall grass. Look around ears, under collars, between toes, and under tails.

3. Keep the Yard Tidy: Trim grass and clear leaf litter to reduce tick habitats. Try to keep your dog away from tall grass and shrubs.

4. Know the Signs: Watch for excessive scratching, fever, or fatigue—these could be signs of tick-borne illness.

A quick check can save your pet from serious health issues. Stay vigilant and enjoy a safe, healthy season with your pets! ... See MoreSee Less

Check out our boys posted by Old Dog Haven!

Willy (left), the playful one, is always ready for an adventure or a romp in the yard, while Duke (right), the gentle giant, is the perfect cuddle buddy who loves to keep his brother close.
They complement each other perfectly, and it's truly heartwarming to see them together.

If you're looking to add some love and laughter to your life, consider adopting this dynamic duo. They deserve a loving family that will cherish their unique bond.

Call the shelter at (360) 378-2158 if you’re interested in meeting them! 🐾❤️It's TWOSDAY and we have another bonded pair who needs your shares!

Meet Willy and Duke! These playful beagle mixes are looking to land a forever home together. They've been bonded since birth! The boys are 11 years old and weigh about 40 pounds each.

They are so funny and sweet together, you'll always be smiling. They are great while on leash and love going for walks. The brothers love eating together, cuddling, and playing with one another. They definitely have some good senior energy to burn! They love going on adventures and hikes with our volunteers. Silly Willy is always providing kisses and love, while sweet Duke is quiet and calm. The best duo!

Duke and Willy are posted for the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor located on Friday Harbor, WA. If you are interested in adopting Duke and Willy, and would like to make an appointment for a meet and greet, please fill out and submit our Canine Adoption Application from the shelter website here:

🚫 𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀: 𝗕𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀! 🚫

Not all plants are pet-friendly! Some common household and garden plants can be highly toxic to cats, causing everything from stomach upset to fatal organ failure. Keep these dangerous plants far away from your feline friend:

🌿 Lilies (ALL types!) – Extremely toxic! Even a tiny amount—like licking pollen off their fur—can cause fatal kidney failure.
🌿 Sago Palm – Causes severe liver failure and can be deadly even in small amounts.
🌿 Daffodils – Contain toxins that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even heart problems.
🌿 Autumn Crocus – Ingesting even a small bit can lead to organ damage, vomiting, and seizures.
🌿 Hyacinth – Can cause severe drooling, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.
🌿 Azaleas & Rhododendrons – Contain toxins that affect the nervous system, leading to drooling, vomiting, and potentially fatal heart issues.
🌿 Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane) – Can cause painful mouth swelling, drooling, and difficulty swallowing.
🌿 Cyclamen – Highly toxic, especially the roots, which can cause heart issues and seizures.
🌿 Tulips – The bulbs are the most dangerous part, leading to stomach pain, drooling, and heart irregularities.
🌿 Oleander – Extremely poisonous! A small nibble can cause fatal heart problems.
🌿 Kalanchoe – Can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and in severe cases, heart arrhythmias.

How to Keep Your Cat Safe:

✔️ Choose pet-safe plants for your home and garden.
✔️ Keep toxic plants out of reach or remove them entirely.
✔️ If your cat ingests a toxic plant, contact your vet immediately or call ASPCA Poison Control (888-426-4435).

Check if your plants are safe: www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/cats-plant-list

Even a single bite can be dangerous—stay informed and keep your kitty safe! 🐱💚
