THANK YOU ❤️🐾✨

Because of you, there is food on the ground today—right where it’s needed most. 🥹🍽️

We’re seeing tiny kittens 🐱, expecting moms 🤰🐾, and adult cats all able to eat—some likely for the first time in days. That matters more than words can ever fully capture. 💛

We know Joe is working his magic behind the scenes to do what’s needed for the cats 🐾✨, and with your incredible support, this family now has the resources to care for them the way they deserve. 🙌💕

🌟 Special shoutout to Joe 🌟
An animal control officer who went above and beyond—advocating tirelessly to make sure these cats were seen, supported, and not forgotten. 🗣️🐾
His dedication made all the difference in a moment when it mattered most. ❤️

This is what community looks like. 🤝
This is what compassion in action looks like. 💫🐾

From all of us (and all of them)… THANK YOU. 🐱💛🐾

🚨🐾 URGENT COMMUNITY CAT SITUATION — WE NEED HELP NOW 🐾🚨

We were just made aware of a developing situation involving 10–15 cats 🐈🐈‍⬛ that have not been fed for about a week.

⚠️ This is NOT a vacation situation — the owner is currently unable to return and care for their cats, and Tribal Animal Control is involved.

🙏 A family member has stepped in to help, but they do NOT have the resources to feed this many cats long-term.

⸻

💔 We are stepping in to help source food— but we need your help to do it.

🥫 We have wet food covered
🛑 BUT we URGENTLY NEED DRY CAT FOOD to make this sustainable

⸻

🐾 WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW:
📦 Dry cat food (any brand, any size)
🛍️ Opened bags OK (clean & safe)
⏰ ASAP donations

⸻

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS:
✔️ Helps stretch wet food 🥫➡️🍽️
✔️ Keeps feeding consistent for 10–15 cats 🐈🐈‍⬛
✔️ Buys time while next steps are coordinated 🏡

⸻

❤️ THIS is community rescue in action:
🚫 No judgment
🤝 Just showing up
🐾 Making sure animals don’t go without

⸻
📩 Message us for pickup 🚗

⸻

🙏 Even ONE bag helps 🛍️
📢 PLEASE SHARE — time matters ⏳

🐾💛 Let’s get these cats through this safely. 💛🐾

☀️🐾 WHAT. A. DAY. 🐾☀️

Okay… this post is a little late 😅
(we needed a minute to recover… and maybe sleep 😴)

But WOW…

💉 300 animals served
🏡 110 families supported
❤️ Countless lives impacted

On a beautiful day, you showed up in a BIG way—for your pets, your neighbors, and this community 💛

⸻

🐶 First vaccines for tiny pups
🐱 Cats getting protected and cared for
🐾 Senior pets getting the support they deserve
🚗 Cars lined up with people doing the very best for their animals

This is what community looks like.

⸻

🚦 Long lines
📋 Lots of paperwork
💉 Nonstop vaccines
😅 A very full (and very amazing) day

And through it all…
🙏 You were patient
🙏 You were kind
🙏 You showed up with heart

We noticed. We appreciate it. It matters.

⸻

🤧 Real talk:
We are still working through forms, records, and follow-ups from the clinic

And… our team is a little under the weather right now (because giving everything you have to a day like this catches up with you)

👉 Please be patient with us as we get everything processed—we promise we’re working through it as fast as we can 💻📄 If you need urgently just message us.

⸻

✨ Because of YOU, we were able to:
✔️ Prevent disease before it starts 🛑🦠
✔️ Keep pets with the families who love them ❤️
✔️ Reduce future crisis situations 🚑
✔️ Support our community in a real, meaningful way 🤝

⸻

📸🐾 WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PETS! 🐾📸

If you came to the clinic…
👇👇👇

📷 Drop your photos in the comments
🐶 Show us your dogs
🐱 Show us your cats
💉 Show off those “I got my shots!” faces

We LOVE seeing the animals we were able to help—it’s the best part of what we do 💛

🚨🐾 WOW… 250 ANIMALS REGISTERED! 🐾🚨
You guys are AMAZING. Truly. This is going to be BIG, BUSY, and just a tiny bit chaotic (okay… maybe not so tiny 😅)

We can’t wait to see you all on Sunday!! 💛

⸻

📢 IMPORTANT REMINDERS (aka help us help YOU!):

🐶 Dress Code Required: 👗

* Dogs must arrive in their finest leash attire 🐕✨ (fashion optional, safety required)
* Cats must travel in their private VIP suites 🐱🏨 (aka kennels/carriers)
🚫 No loose pets
🚫 No “but he listens really well”
🚫 No chaos gremlins roaming free 😂

⸻

📝 Paperwork Day-Of:
Even if you pre-registered, you’ll still:
✔️ Sign a quick disclosure
✔️ Confirm which animals actually showed up

Because let’s be real…
🐾 Sometimes pets decide they had other plans
🐾 Sometimes they book a “better playdate” behind your back 🙄
🐾 And sometimes… you roll in with a bonus stray you picked up on the way 🚗🐕

(No judgment — we love that about you 💛)

⸻

💻 🚨 QUICK REGISTRATION NOTE 🚨

We LOVE doing these clinics ❤️
We LOVE helping your animals 🐾
And we want to keep things moving as smoothly as possible!

👉 Please make sure your animals are pre-registered ahead of time:
🔗 https://new.shelterluv.com/form/community/BHR/7624-service-event

You’ll still:
✔️ Check in day-of
✔️ Sign your disclosure
✔️ Let us know which pets made it

BUT…

❌ We won’t be entering animals into the system from paper forms later
❌ We won’t be decoding handwriting like it’s an ancient scroll 📜😅
❌ We won’t be backtracking to match pets to registrations after the fact

👉 Pre-registering = faster lines, less stress, and more animals helped 🐕🐈💉

⸻

💛 Seriously — thank you for showing up for your pets and your community.
This many animals being cared for? That’s HUGE. 🐾🔥

See you Sunday!! 🎉🐶🐱

Our Kitten Surrender Event is happening tomorrow morning (April 17th) at our Minneapolis location 😻

The purpose of this event is to support anyone in our community who may need help. We know that it is hard to manage unexpected litters, limited access to affordable care, and not enough resources. But we also know that it's even harder to say no to those animals in need.

This is your chance to get support for those kittens AND the other animals living in your home. There will be food and litter will be available for other pets in your home
AND you’ll receive TWO FREE spay/neuter vouchers to ensure your pets are part of the solution to the overpopulation crisis.

WHAT: Kitten surrender event for sociable kittens aged 4 weeks to 4 months of age
WHEN: April 17th, 10AM - 12PM
WHERE: 2501 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55404
WHY: Working together to lower the amount of cats that enter the animal shelter every single year

If you have kittens that need placement, pets at home who aren’t yet spayed or neutered, or maybe you just need support and resources... whatever you need, we’re here to help ❤

The dog has been contained

🚨 Loose Hound Dog — Hertel Area (Seen for 3 Weeks) 🚨

We are asking the community to please keep an eye out for a hound dog that has been running loose in the Hertel area and surrounding roads near Big Sand Lake / Hwy 70.

This dog has been spotted multiple times over the last three weeks, traveling through the area shown on the map. He appears to be staying on the move and has not yet been safely contained.

🐾 What we know:• Hound-type dog• Seen repeatedly in the Hertel / Big Sand Lake area• Has been running for approximately 3 weeks• Likely scared and avoiding people

⚠️ Please DO NOT chase or try to corner him. Dogs that have been loose this long are often in survival mode and may run farther if pursued.

✅ If you see him:• Note the location, direction of travel, and time• Take a photo if you can safely do so• Message or report sightings immediately so we can track patterns

Even small sightings help us build a movement map and increase the chances of getting him safely home.

Let’s work together to help this pup before weather, traffic, or exhaustion become a bigger risk. ❤️

If you have information or a sighting, please comment or message us directly.

If this is your dog please contact us or tribal animal control.

TAKE ACTION: Iowa is the only state in the U.S. where animal torture is not a felony crime on the first offense, but two bills currently in the Legislature – HF557 and SF2099 – would change that. Now is the time to make your voice heard!

Please take a moment to contact your state legislators and ask them to support HF557 and SF2099 to better protect Iowa’s animals from the most disturbing types of cruelty.

We’ve made it easy. Just go to https://ow.ly/eReE50Y6FAz, click “Make Animal Torture a First-Offense Felony in Iowa” and scroll down to find sample messages for each bill that you can customize. Fill out your info and hit send, and your message will automatically be sent to your state senator and representative.

THANK YOU for taking action to help companion animals in Iowa - and please spread the word!
