A Holiday Story

We heard this today from our veterinary staff:

A client found somebody's cat in a fox trap! Luckily they arrived at KHS.

The leg was far too damaged to be saved and our doctors were able to provide a needed amputation and aftercare.

Our little one is now very happy and doing well.

"It is very nice that we have good community citizens willing to save a trapped cat and get it help. The cat thanks her very much." - KHS staff member

Please have a very happy holiday season. Thank you for all you are doing out there.

Can you spot animal abuse?

No animal should starve this winter.

Kitsap Animal Rescue and Enforcement officers rely upon tips from animal lovers across our region to spot and report animal abuse.

Do you know how to spot animal abuse? Below are four quick tips taken from the ASPCA. These tips tell you how we spot the environmental signs of animal abuse:

• Pets are tied up alone outside for long periods of time without adequate food or water, or with food or water that is unsanitary. (note: there may be signs of animals that have been deceased, or animals will disappear after periods of time)

Tiny Dog Rescue and Blind Dog Haven needs help!

With 180 or so animals on our doorstep, we each felt the incredible excitement and togetherness during this last major rescue operation. The moon was full, folks were tired, and loads of helping hands showed up from far away. Most of these folks had not worked with us before! Don’t worry, this email is not to announce more animals are coming into the shelter :)

With the community so responsive to the needs of our animals in a tough time, we wish to give thanks by now assisting a sister agency needing community support. Please help us spread this email request!

Thank you Kitsap Veterans!!

Kitsap Humane Society today honors all our incredible local veterans.

The dream of freedom and the spirit of service are exactly what drives animal welfare, and many other nonprofit charities.

The call to duty to protect our freedom is the ultimate service and sacrifice. Every day youth from small towns and large cities answer this call on our behalf.

Thank you for your service to each one of us, we continue our battle against abuse and overpopulation with your gift. Thank you as well to those that have fallen or remain missing.

KHS Welcomes Invisible Fence Intern

We are excited to announce the arrival of a fantastic intern from Invisible Fence Peninsulas.

Casey has joined their team and will be spending an internship with us, learning different breed profiles and characteristics.

Both KHS and Indivisible Fence handle many different species, so this will be a terrific learning opportunity as we always have fun exotic animals coming through the shelter. (like the emu a while back or a more recent peacock!)
KHS has an extensive training and rehabilitation program led by Deana Case. Casey will be conducting his internship with Deana.
