Volunteer Orientation

There are no events on this day.

A glimpse into the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy Spay/Neuter Clinic. Our team has spent the weekend volunteering to provide spay/neuter services free to tribal members on the Wind River Reservation (WRR). The WRR spans millions of acres and has no animal control or access to vet care that is affordable. The pet overpopulation problem is severe and many of our Puppy Palace residents come from this area. We hope these efforts not only enhance the lives of the tribal pets being served and their families but decrease the amount of unwanted litters that are entering the shelter system.

Thank you to @animaladoptioncenterjhwy and everyone who makes this possible. ✂️ 🐶 🐱

Six out today and seven in today. Meet Anna Wintour and her Met Gala puppies who arrived today thanks to @kellyjane511 transporting during a spring snow storm!

We had plans to get these guys this weekend during the spay/neuter clinic and figured why not get them settled in a warm Puppy Palace early since one just opened up. We DON’T like to waste time and we DO like to maximize Puppy Palace square footage! This litter of six & their mom will be available for adoption through @animaladoptioncenterjhwy in about seven weeks! We can’t wait to get to know them and share their journey with you. ❤️‍🔥

Our team is gearing up to join the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy Spay/Neuter Clinic on the Wind River Reservation this weekend, and we can’t stop thinking about the importance of spay/neuter within our world. Not only do we have a line of partners needing assistance with unwanted puppies, but we’ve also seen mama dogs get pregnant within the shelter system recently. Accidental litters continue to rise, and shelters are faced with terrible decisions to either euthanize for space or double up kennels with intact animals. This problem is only getting exponentially worse.

Since we are in constant communication with a variety of shelters and rescues, we’ve learned that access to spay/neuter hinders partners from taking on litters even if they have the capacity. Hindrances include the nationwide veterinarian shortage and limited funding for spay/neuter surgeries. Here’s an example: one of our partner shelters in Idaho is backed up with 60 spay/neuter appointments. To make more room, they’re adopting animals without spay/neuter and having people put deposits down to reserve a future surgical appointment. While the adoption numbers are great, unfortunately, this leaves a lot of room for human error, and many animals never receive their surgery. According to the Humane Society of the United States, one unspayed dog and her offspring are capable of producing over 11,000 puppies per year. With every animal that moves through our program, we try to ‘close the loop’ on that animal’s shelter experience, meaning we do our best to make sure they don’t end up in a shelter in the future.

The shelter systems are overwhelmed, and spay/neuter is the only way to get to the root of the problem. Our goal this spring is to raise $20,000 for an AAF Spay/Neuter Program to increase the number of animals we can send to our partners already spayed/neutered. Reach out if you are interested in getting involved so we can pledge to ensure all the animals that we can get our hands on are not adding to this growing problem. 🐶 🐱 ✂️

Join us for our first in-person Canine Behavior Workshop of 2024. Big shoutout to @highpointcidertaproom for hosting us and everyone who is looking to further their education surrounding dog behavior.

These workshops are for humans-only and no dogs are allowed! It turns out the majority of becoming successful with your own dog is training yourself first!

This workshop is free to all. If you have specific things to work on we ask you to register ahead of time by 4/12 so our Behavior Team can customize the curriculum. #linkinbio 🤓 🐶

Happy Monday from a few of our current residents.

🐾 Banksy is our incubator puppy from @landerpetconnection that is growing like a weed! We don’t know where he will be adopted through yet OR what will happen with his eye that endured frostbite before being rescued. Interesting in helping us fund his treatment?! Let us know!
🐶 The 8 Below litter from @bestfriendsanimalsociety has settled in and will be making their way to @srasanimalshelter next week for adoption!
🐱 Momma cat and kittens from @ifanimalshelter are also thriving! They will be ready for adoption in ~3 weeks through the @animaladoptioncenterjhwy
❤️ The Gossip Girl “micro”litter from @landerpetconnection is gaining weight and confidence. TBD on where they will be adoptable!

Xoxo,
AAF Team

Today, our team welcomed a litter of puppies from @bestfriendsanimalsociety to the farm. Huge thanks to the @dogismycopilotinc team for going the extra mile with an additional and last minute stop in Driggs to make it happen. We’re incredibly grateful for what they do to maximize life-saving efforts. These six, Husky Blend puppies will soon be available through @srasanimalshelter. In the meantime, we’re excited to shower them with love and get them adoption ready! 🐾

And shoutout to @lulusfund for becoming our first Barnyard Sponsor and making our dreams a reality. Thank you for supporting us through this work! 🐶 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Selecting a dog trainer requires thorough research beyond a simple Google search.

With minimal regulations in the United States, anyone can claim to be a trainer. Therefore, it’s essential to do extra due diligence to ensure you find a qualified professional who aligns with your values.

Keep these tips in mind for your next trainer search. If you have questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out to our team, and we’ll steer you in the right direction. 🐶 🤓

Nothing to see here… just an orphan puppy hanging out with some homeless kittens and their mom!

Banksy is just about four weeks old and is becoming less dependent on Aska feeding him every three hours. 😂 As you may have noticed, his eye is abnormal likely from his exposure to cold temperatures and frostbite early on in life. We’ve consulted an ophthalmologist and are waiting until he is more developed to put a plan in place!

Unnamed momma cat and her four kittens are providing Banksy with important social time. Singleton puppies need extra help with socialization since they don’t have their littermates or mom to help them learn basic communication and cues. We always make it a point to pair singleton puppies and kittens up with others when appropriate so they don’t miss out on early development. Who remembers Ink & Mink?!

Momma cat & kittens will be available for adoption @animaladoptioncenterjhwy when they are ready. We already know they are a special bunch. 💘
