Riggs update!!

🐾 Riggs Update! 🐾

We received another great update from Riggs’ trainer, and we couldn’t be happier with how he’s doing!

Riggs has been making fantastic progress and continues to impress everyone with how smart and eager he is to learn. He’s feeling great, building confidence, and letting his happy, goofy personality shine.

One of the biggest milestones is that Riggs is now happily muzzle trained! 🎉 While Riggs generally did well at home, veterinary care was extremely difficult because of past trauma. Making the muzzle a positive, stress-free part of his routine was a major priority for everyone’s safety—including Riggs’—and we’re thrilled to report that he now happily puts his nose into it. That is a huge accomplishment and will make future veterinary visits and handling much less stressful for everyone involved.

We’re also excited to share that many of the behaviors we were most concerned about have improved dramatically. He’ll still need structure, consistency, and continued training as he transitions into a home, but he’s proving every day that he’s capable of incredible growth.

We are so proud of this boy and incredibly thankful to everyone who has donated, shared his story, and cheered him on. Your support has given Riggs the opportunity to heal, learn, and build a brighter future.

He still has a little more work to do before he’s ready for his next chapter, but we’re more hopeful than ever. ❤️🐾

Animal abuse and cruelty is a crime!

Thank you to the whiteness who didn’t turn a blind eye and reported what they seen!
Thank you to officers who responded and pressed charges!

🐱 Rescued Kittens 🐱

At approximately 11:00 a.m. today, an alert witness in the 500 block of N. Fruitland St. called Animal Control after observing 26-year-old Destin Delgado place a kitten into a wool sock and tie it closed with a string.

When an Animal Control Officer Jackson arrived, she observed Delgado handling a different kitten aggressively. As she and Animal Control Officer Marchbanks attempted to intervene, Delgado became aggressive toward them, prompting a request for Kennewick Police officers to respond.

Kennewick Police officers detained Delgado, and a search warrant was obtained for his van. During the search, officers located the kitten inside the sock, unharmed, along with eight additional kittens in the vehicle.

Delgado was arrested and booked into the Benton County Jail for Animal Cruelty in the Second Degree.

Thanks to the quick actions of the alert witness, the Animal Control officers, and responding Kennewick Police officers, all nine kittens are safe and receiving proper care by a veterinarian.

At this time, the kittens are in the care of Tri-Cities Animal Services. Information regarding their future placement or adoption may be released by the appropriate agency if and when it becomes available.
