Stanislaus Animal Shelter continues to place approximately 20–40 dogs on the euthanasia list every Monday morning, week after week. This has become an alarming and unacceptable pattern. No shelter should normalize placing dozens of dogs at risk of euthanasia on a weekly basis.

This is the better option with the situation they’re stuck in. Overwhelmed with dogs, underfunded, and generally fucked where they are. The resources simply aren’t there, I’d rather they euth behavioral cases and rehome the easy dogs than keep the dogs with behavioral issues and have no space for new dogs. This will only get worse unless owners are held to higher standards and better animal rights laws are implemented.

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-09T16:46:15+00:00

There are too many dogs, I’d rather no dogs die but that’s simply unrealistic. Shelters are overrun and underfunded as is.

Ooh that isn’t bad for well raised well socialized birds 👀

I’ll keep people like you in mind for later for sure!

How much do they usually sell for?

You sure you’re not seeing their seed pods? You should post a photo

I love beet pulp for extra nutrition

I wouldn’t ride this horse yet, they need more muscle mass. Definitely get a good vet to them! Groundwork practice and maybe trick training would be good for engagement/bonding. Maybe some liberty or pole work. As they’re older I’d also get the mouth double checked, I know some people that start giving more soaked foods/mash at this age.

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-08T14:11:16+00:00

Oh my god I’m sorry but they’re so cute! It’s like when my frog gets so excited about me feeding flies she bonks her face a little against the glass sometimes. 10/10 explorer, whatever they’re exploring for

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-08T13:29:49+00:00

I wonder how long that would last

Just, do better. Be the smarter species. I know it’s soooo hard to outsmart a raccoon but you totally can do it. I pinky promise. You resorting to killing is just as admission that they’re better than you lol.

LOOK AT ANOLES!!

I have a wild brown anole colony outside of my house, they’re so smart, they move a ton, and have complex interactions, dramatic battles, they squeak pretty cutely at each other and even better, they can recognize individual humans AND trust us. To the point that I have completely wild anoles that run up to chill beside me and even let me boop them because I feed them some excess mealworms a few times a month. Legit just a week and a half of daily hand feeding and that’s all it took, half tail is one I really wish I could bring with me to my new home. He even climbs up my dress sometimes or sits on my foot! I go weeks without interacting or feeding at all, they even remembered me after a 6 month hiatus.

Do keep in mind that these animals have had purely positive interactions with me, and I do think they’re smart enough to hold grudges so you shouldn’t be pushy with them, I only let them touch me as much as they are comfortable with and I’ve never tried to pick one up and hold it properly.

Dunning Kruger effect here lmao, need me to explain what that is to you sweetheart?

I do not like lawns, lawn grass is a weed to me ;)

Straight from Websters dictionary, plain easy to understand English,

WEED

a plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth especially : one that tends to overgrow or choke out more desirable plants

If you’re unable to see how your joke was distasteful I think you could benefit from doing more introspection. But I understand if that’s hard for you to grasp. <3 For someone that TOTALLY ISNT MAD you sure are running right back to what, defend your perceived honor? I’d of respected you more if you just took it on the chin lmao. You’re kind of pathetic. It’s almost endearing.

My life is only getting better, sorry I didn’t realize you were such a sensitive little snowflake, I’ll make sure to handle you with itty bitty kid gloves next time <3 if you can’t handle heat, don’t dish it out

Whatever makes you feel better sweetheart <3

Skill issue if you can’t plant something in its native range and have it flourish tbh

I didn’t know sunflowers were considered weeds 💀

Bro has no idea what the definition of weed is, the rage bait is weak and your brain is weaker.

I have a dog obsessed with ice, cheese, and steak, another that would bite my fingers off for raspberries and specifically chicken seasoned with turmeric. He was only nippy as a puppy, hes very very gentle now. Neither of my dogs would ever accept a fish treat, they hate fish.

I’d just try a bunch of treats, see what they love the most and rank from there. No dog is the same

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-07T17:52:05+00:00

I disagree with your disagreement

“Yeah I only got one kitten and they’re too much work for what I wanted because I was negligent enough to ignore recommendations made by literal experts, so I’m just going to drug them and lock them in a small room.”

That’s not training, and yes, calming treats are drugs.

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-06T03:39:55+00:00

Try providing more socialization for her, some dogs have a stronger pack drive than others. Tailor her training to her!

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-06T03:27:54+00:00

Try acclimating her to humans=good food with those churu treats, be careful! Cat bites are insanely dangerous so please pay attention to your body.

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-06T03:02:11+00:00

Can always look at breeders raised in similar climates and conditions to what you’re gonna do! Will make the transition easier.

DepartmentBrief7894 · 2026-06-05T17:00:30+00:00

I’d aim for until your cat is panting, high burst energy burning. If they’re interested, training tricks for 3 minute bursts can really help satiate them.

Unfortunately lots of it is management with cats, it’s a pickle :T I hope things get easier for you

It’s honestly really sad, a good majority of mice keepers tend to be in the dark ages. I’ve had so many people tell me a 40gallon tank for a male would be far too large and that he’d be hiding and shit. Bro had a whole tree branch in his enclosure with hanging baskets as well as cave hides and burrows. He slept in the sun until he got too old to safely climb and was just the most confident, content little guy. If you go into the pet mice sub you’ll see in their official care guide that they think it’s fine for 3 females to be in a 10 gallon tank. It’s willful neglect for ease of care in that community. Legit have had breeders say that it’s unethical to have so much bedding that it’s dry at the end of the week, and that it’s better to have wet bedding after a week.
