With a heavy heart, I share that Columbia River Veterinary Specialists, a hospital that has been a cornerstone of advanced veterinary medicine in our community, will be permanently closing its doors on September 4, 2026.

For nearly three decades, the extraordinary veterinarians, technicians, specialists, and support staff at Columbia River Veterinary Specialists have stood beside Panda Paws Rescue through some of our most challenging and medically complex cases. They have cared for countless special-needs, major medical, and hospice animals with exceptional skill, unwavering compassion, and a level of dedication that has changed and saved lives beyond measure.

While this chapter is coming to a close, the legacy they leave behind is immeasurable. Thousands of beloved pets, rescue animals, and families are better because of the expertise, kindness, and commitment of this remarkable team.

To every doctor, technician, assistant, receptionist, and staff member who has been part of this incredible hospital, thank you. Thank you for the long hours, the difficult cases, the innovative care, the tears, the victories, and the love you poured into every patient who came through your doors.

Though we are saddened to see this institution close, we are excited for the future of the talented professionals who made it so special. We know they will continue changing lives and advancing animal welfare wherever their journeys take them next. We wish each of you nothing but success, fulfillment, and happiness as you find new clinics to call home.

From all of us at Panda Paws Rescue, thank you for the years of partnership, friendship, and lifesaving care. Your impact will never be forgotten.

Today was Kind Augusts pamper day! He was given the royal treatment at Guardian Veterinary Care where he was given a clean bill of health! We sedated him, cleaned his teeth, full spa day grooming out any lingering mats, updated his vaccines AND he has a fancy shmancy new microchip too! His microchip is the newest version that also takes their internal body temp! So prestigious of him to possess a state of the art chip. Anyhow, he was a wee bit tipsy in this photo but we are since back home and he is already playing in his water bowl making a mess for his servants to clean up. All in all his total bill to get him fully vetted and 100% ready for his next chapter was $815.92. If you would like to chip in towards this royal buns getting all UTD you can donate here or via PayPal with the email [email protected]

Good morning everyone,

Sadly, our newbie pup, Prism, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Cleft palates are a midline defect and often we find other defects either right away or as time goes on or by the time they start eating kibble. Regardless, she was given the best chance and while we go into these tube fed cases with optimism, we are very aware that sometimes life has other plans.

Rest peacefully sweetie ❤️‍🩹

New kid on the block alert!! Arriving this morning weighing just 6 ounces, this precious blue & tan Frenchie girl has already shown us how strong she is. She was born with a cleft palate and will require tube feeding and around-the-clock care to give her the very best chance at success.

She is tiny, fragile, and fighting from day one. For now, we’re taking it one feeding, one ounce, and one day at a time while cheering on this little warrior every step of the way.

We haven’t settled on a name but what do yall think of Prism?? Princess Prism! 🌈👑✨💕

Little stinkers were trapped inside the awesome rainbow bird house feeder nest & unable to graduate to the next level. Genius safe spot to build a nest but not so terrific when it’s eviction time! Their mama has been encouraging them and enticing them from the outside with food and beautiful vocals. Unfortunately, the roof on the birdhouse was not allowing them to help up high enough or to get on a ledge without hitting the ceiling and falling back down. Overnight two of the five babies passed and their momma stayed vigilant encouraging the others to come out. I had moved them to an upgraded, actual nesting box and today they are starting to do some 1st flights with their mama! It actually really sweet watching momma so excited and tending to all of them! Wish them luck! 🪺🍀🐦‍⬛

King August has officially made it to the homestretch of his adoption journey. After receiving over 200 applications, things have now been narrowed down to three potential happily-ever-after homes for this majestic orange ruler. Everyone who applied should have heard back from me by now — if not, please be sure to check your spam folder just in case.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had a little grace time to carefully work through applications before August’s upcoming dental appointment on June 8. I anticipate we will have everything buttoned up shortly after his veterinary visit, and this fluffy king will soon be on his way to the next chapter of his spoiled, adored life. 🧡👑

Little Miss Bubblegum Lips had a huge day today! She got her baby booster vaccines, deworming and ...... her wee horns disbudded (aka burned off). She was sedated and she is doing very well post-op, as you can see. Tomorrow this little one will move in with the big herd, her new pack! A lot of people will ask about the horn removal so here's what I have to say about it. Domesticated goats can either keep their horns or have them burned down to prevent them from growing as they grow up. Horns have a purpose in the wild but in a herd, it can pose dangers. Goats with horns in herds with debudded/disbudded goats can pose a danger to the ones without - it's not an even playing field if you will. Also, horns can easily get caught in or on things like fencing, chains, locks, gates, etc etc which can severely injure or even kill them via trauma. Additionally, horns can get locked between two goats which can have the same sad end result. I would encourage anyone who is considering goats to do thorough research to decide what is best for your enclosure and future herd, but, if you do decide to disbud them - PLEASE do it sooner than later. The older they get the harder and less successful the procedure is which can leave goats with 1 or 2 scurs. Scurs are abnormal regrowth that can be all sorts of problematic including the concerns I mentioned above, but also they can literally grow into the goats eyes or other places on their heads.

Now that that is out of the way.... look at our 12 pound sweetie bean resting post DVM day! She is such a snuggle bug & I am going to miss her cute little kissable lips! The total for our vet bill today which includes a total of 7 animals is $1517! This doesn't include upcoming vetting for August in June. If you would be oh-so-kind and help donate you can make one right here on this very post OR via our website in various ways at www.PandaPawsRescue.org! Rescue is expensive but a fully, properly vetted animal is PRICELESS!

I wanted to sincerely thank every single person who applied for August. The response has honestly been overwhelming in the best possible way, and it has been incredibly heartwarming reading through so many thoughtful applications from people wanting to give this majestic orange menace the perfect happily ever after. After reviewing over 200 applications, I have narrowed things down significantly and will continue carefully fine-combing through potential matches over the coming days.

This process is always so extremely important to me because I truly want to find the absolute best fit for August’s unique personality and needs — not rush through it simply because of volume. As you can clearly see here, August firmly believes he should remain the center of attention at all times, especially during peaceful reading sessions or basically any time you sit down, and he intends to keep those standards high for his future staff. 📚👑🧡

Seven years ago, I surprised a little girl on her 4th birthday… and today, I got to celebrate her 11th. 🥹💕

A lot of longtime supporters of my TV show and Panda Paws Rescue may remember this story. When Ava was just 3 years old, she spotted my vehicle in downtown Washougal and was SO excited to meet me. She ran up to the car absolutely beside herself with excitement… only to discover the only people inside were two of my beloved cameramen, Baby Rhino and Maui. 😂

This poor sweet girl was absolutely shattered that it wasn’t actually *Amanda* in the car, and she burst into tears. Her mama scooped her up while she sobbed into her shoulder, and later I was sent a photo of them walking away. Honestly, it broke my heart. It broke my camera crews hearts too, as they both are dads and understood the magnitude of the moment.

But thanks to technology, amazing supporters, and a little determination, I tracked her family down and secretly showed up at her house for her 4th birthday surprise that was literally soon after the meltdown. Not only was she shocked beyond belief, but this precious child had a full Panda Paws Rescue themed birthday cake. Level one MILLION superfan status. 🐾🎂

Since then, I’ve stayed close with their family, and months ago Ava invited me to come have lunch with her at school for her 11th birthday. So today I picked up one of her favorite meals and had a blast hanging out with her and her sweet group of friends.

Ava is every bit as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has one of those genuinely rare hearts. She’s thoughtful, compassionate, kind, and the type of friend who makes everyone around her feel included and cared about.

Watching this tiny little superfan grow into such an incredible young lady has been really special.

Please help me wish Ava the happiest 11th birthday ever!! 🎉💖
