🚨🔥🚨Wildfires are devastating for families and their homes, but they’re also devastating for the pets caught in the chaos. In the rush to evacuate, many families have only moments to get out safely. Sadly, some pets become displaced, injured, or are left behind in the panic. It’s heartbreaking, and it happens far too often.
The fires burning across Washington have already resulted in requests for help for displaced animals and families who have lost everything.
This morning, we received an urgent request from the Beverly area, where more than seven homes were destroyed in a fast-moving wildfire.
We immediately went through our rescue supplies and loaded up as much dog food as we could, along with 6–8 dog beds. Unfortunately, like many rescues, we never seem to have enough cat food on hand.
If you’re able to help, we would be incredibly grateful.
🐾 We are accepting:
• Dog and cat food
• Pet beds
• Other pet supplies
• Monetary donations so we can purchase the items that are needed most
While there are many needs for the affected families, our mission is to care for the animals who depend on us. Every bag of food, every bed, and every dollar helps us provide comfort and care during this difficult time.
We are currently working to establish convenient drop-off locations for donations and will share those as soon as they are confirmed.
Thank you for helping us stand beside these families and their beloved pets when they need it most. ❤️🐾

Is there a Venmo?
Let me know Bonnie
Update: All 5 pups are safe! ❤️🐾
All five puppies were vaccinated today, and they are the sweetest little guys. They’re approximately 4–5 months old, all five are males, and each weighs under 10 pounds.
Sadly, this pattern has us deeply concerned. Seven pups were dumped right next door to these just over 2 months ago (remember Peaches and her little pup she had the following morning at the groomers). The fact that these 5 are all young males makes us believe there may be a breeder in the McConihe Flats/McConahie Valley area dumping puppies they can’t sell or don’t want. If you know anything, please say something. These innocent pups didn’t choose to be abandoned in 100+ degree heat. We’re incredibly grateful they were found before it was too late.
We’re still urgently looking for temporary fosters for 3 of the 5 puppies until they can be transported to rescue on Tuesday. We provide everything they need—all we ask is for a safe, loving place for a few days.
Can you open your home to one… or even two? Every foster makes a lifesaving difference.
The two adorable boys pictured have already landed in a wonderful temporary foster home. Now we just need the remaining three to have the same chance. ❤️
Please message us if you can help, or share this post to help us find fosters. Every share could reach the person who saves a life. 🐾

I’m really thankful that we were able to get them over to Jennifer’s home where they were able to eat and sleep and relax! Thank you to Bonnie for all of your hard work and efforts in securing two of the puppies. Im hopeful we can get the three others into temporary housing until they get transported :-).
Im open to taking fosters. Pm me and I will show you the space!
🥵 It’s going to be over 100°F today! 🐾
Please keep your pets off hot pavement. Asphalt and concrete can become hot enough to burn paw pads in just minutes, even if the air temperature doesn’t seem unbearable.
A simple rule to remember:
If you can’t comfortably walk barefoot on the pavement, your dog shouldn’t either.
Burned paw pads are incredibly painful and can take weeks to heal.
If you see someone walking their dog on hot pavement today, please kindly remind them. They may not realize how dangerous it is.
Help us spread the word and keep our furry friends safe. ❤️🐶🐾
When in doubt, walk early in the morning, later in the evening, or stick to grassy areas and shaded trails.

🚨🐾🚨TEMPORARY FOSTERS NEEDED
These five little dogs were dumped yesterday in McConihe Flats. Thankfully, we have a foster in Royal City who can take the two dogs that are circled. Now we urgently need temporary fosters for the remaining three until they can be transported to a rescue partner up north this coming week.
If you can foster:
• • 1 dog
• • 2 dogs
• • Or all 3
...we will provide everything you need. We just need safe, loving homes to get them through the next tew days.
Please help us give these sweet little ones a soft place to land after being abandoned. Maybe you even want to do a foster to adopt.
Even a short-term foster can save a life.
Can you help? Please comment below or send us a message as soon as possible.🐾❤️

I wish I could, but I’ve got Family coming in to town. I’ll be free to foster again the first week of August.
Eeeeek! Why are they so cute!!! I wish I could foster but my pack would never. Besides— I would have to keep them. Which I would be fine with… but again… my pack says no. Sharing. We have two “Mattawa Mutts” and couldn’t be happier with them.
Thank you! I hope we can get these other 3 fostered until they can get transported:). Thank you again ARRF for all your hard efforts!
