Rescue is always better when we all work together!

Last week our friends at Peoria County Animal Protection Services reached out asking if we had any room for kittens, as they were busting at the seams and adoptions were slow. Although we had already committed to quite a few local owner surrenders for cats, we reached out to our shelter partners at Iowa County Humane Society and Coulee Region Humane Society, who happily agreed to help!

We welcomed a total of 17 kittens to SFTS over the weekend from PCAS, performed their intake exams, and then sent them on their way to our partners! Iowa County Humane Society welcomed 5, Coulee Region Humane Society took in 8, and the remaining 4 stayed here with us. A BIG thank you to those who assisted with transport, and everyone who stepped up to help - foster homes, our partner orgs, staff, and everyone in between.

Adoptable Dora has the BEST Memorial Day weekend thanks to her incredible foster dad, Mark! Socialization for a more shy dog can be so many different things, including a relaxing sunset cruise.😍 We’re a bit jealous, to be honest…

MOOSE IS ON HIS WAY HOME❤️🐾

We are beyond relieved and incredibly happy to share that Moose was safely trapped early this morning and is officially on his way home to his family! We received another sighting late last week, thoroughly walked the area and set a trap where he’d been seen many times, and he’s now on his way home.

First and foremost, thank you. The amount of support, time, effort, and compassion shown throughout this situation has meant more to us than we can adequately put into words.

We especially want to thank Karen and Lori for everything they did to help bring Moose home safely, from distributing signs and flyers, to lending us the trap and setting it, to using their camera to remotely monitor it overnight. Your help was greatly appreciated.

We also want to thank everyone else who assisted in any way throughout this search:
💕Those who shared our posts far and wide
💕Helpful individuals who handed out flyers
💕The multiple people who called in sightings
💕Home owners & businesses who helped keep eyes on areas Moose was frequenting
💕Our contacts at Animal Control and the Sheriff’s Department for their assistance and guidance
💕Our staff, who spent countless hours working around the clock trying to safely locate Moose and bring him home

This has been an incredibly emotional and difficult experience for everyone involved. While we are choosing to focus on the positive outcome today, we also want to gently remind people that situations involving lost pets are heartbreaking and extremely difficult to navigate, whether it happens to an individual owner or to a business or organization caring for someone’s beloved pet.

No one ever wants this to happen. Our team was devastated by this accident, and every decision made throughout this process was done with Moose’s safety as the priority. We know emotions run high in situations like these because people care deeply about animals, as does our compassionate team at WCVC. We are incredibly grateful to those who approached this situation with kindness, understanding, and grace, and who focused their energy on helping bring Moose home safely.

Today, we are simply thankful. Thankful Moose is safe. Thankful for the community that came together to help. And thankful for everyone who supported the efforts to reunite him with his family.

Welcome home, Moose. ❤️
