Rescue Doesn’t Stop: Our Latest Update
Even while our rescue is in the middle of a major transition, our team never stops showing up for animals in need. Here is a look at what we’ve been up to across Beaumont and Banning, and what’s coming up next!
Beaumont Field Outreach & New Colonies
We recently stumbled upon a pregnant stray dog in Beaumont. After following her to make sure she was safe, we were able to track down her home. Once there, we found eight 2-month-old puppies! We also discovered multiple friendly, non-feral cats roaming the area. We spent several hours getting food and water bowls from the store and speaking directly with the residents. We made an agreement to take the kittens into our care to find them homes, provided the residents keep the adult pets and allow us to get them spayed, neutered, ear-tipped, microchipped, and vaccinated.
Once we finished there, Crystal joined us as we headed over to our regular colony in Belmont, where we feed once to twice a week. We are also preparing to address another colony soon in Beaumont. That brings us to three cat colonies in Beaumont alone that we are actively managing or taking on—and we haven’t even touched Banning yet!
Bob’s Wild Sunday Rescue
Last Sunday morning was one for the books! After spending the entire night at the hospital with zero sleep, we spotted a young dog running across Ramsey in Banning. A team effort—including a helpful DoorDash driver, Debra Brown, Cheyenne, and myself—kept him from getting hit by traffic. Running on empty, we tossed treats and sat down on the ground to calm him down. He came right up to us, and we easily slipped a lead over his head. A passerby recognized him and pointed us toward his home, where we met his owner.
His name is Bob! Bob is a young, wonderful boy who knows basic training and lots of tricks. His owner is moving and cannot take him. Today, we are doing a home check in Banning to see if Bob is still there. If the owner agrees to hold onto him for the next three weeks, we will bring Bob into our care, get him neutered, and find him a forever home!
Animal Action League & Unhoused Outreach
Earlier today, we met with an unhoused resident in an undisclosed area in Banning and took two dogs—one male and one female (who we suspect is pregnant)—straight to Repplier Park for the Animal Action League spay/neuter clinic. Plus, two cats currently in our care were also dropped off for their spay surgeries!
Surgery is underway today, and we are currently waiting to pick everyone up this afternoon once they are out of recovery. We were unable to get the third female in today, but we are working quickly to book her an upcoming spay appointment since we believe she is pregnant as well.
Property & Escrow Update
We are still deep in escrow! We had termite inspections today at both locations, and the other house will need to be tented. We are currently waiting on the appraisal and have the septic tank inspection scheduled for Monday. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that everything goes smoothly so we are fully moved in by the end of next month!
Upcoming Foster & Kitten Visit
Monday Visit & Kitten Update: On Monday, our team is making a special trip to visit one of our incredible foster homes to check in on the baby kittens staying with them! We will be sharing photos and a full progress update right from our visit—stay tuned!
