Animal Rescue Guy
@animalrescueguy.bsky.social
I work animal rescue. I’m a guy. I plucked the lowest-hanging fruit from the username tree.
I’m Alan; NOT a bot. Images are taken/owned by me (unless attributed otherwise). You can tell because I’m terrible at photography. That’s a baby squirrel btw.

There are never any kids trick-or-treating around here. Yet, every year, I buy Halloween candy and leave it outside.
I just realized that all I’m doing is buying candy to store away like a squirrel for a couple of weeks, so I can enjoy it later without any of the guilt or shame.

I do appreciate the donation, but I’m not sure how many Tasmanian Devils or Mogwai I’m going to be rescuing. 🤭

Okay, apparently no one saw the BABY DEER post I made previously. It’s either that, or y’all are absolute monsters! So, here are the pics again. It’s rare I get to handle a fawn (because you normally shouldn’t). You WILL say “aww” and give them love!

One reason I do animal rescue work is because they always find me.
You should NOT touch an uninjured fawn. It’s a natural defense for them to play dead. This one went prone in front of my car, so I had to move it. Hope mama didn’t smell too much of me on her baby.

Who wants more #puppies?
Here is the latest of Nova and her litter of 9 healthy newborns, from the rescue I assisted with last weekend on behalf of Imminent Danger German Shepherd Rescue (idgsr.org). Additional videos/pics in thread.

Here are the before/after shots, so you can zoom in and see the puppies a bit better. 😆 🐶

Emergency rescue job last night on behalf of Imminent Danger German Shepherd Rescue. idgsr.org
Nova was VERY protective of her day-old newborns and would not let me get close, but all that matters is they’re safely with a foster now.

Took my dog for a quick pee in the hedge row running alongside a Kroger pharmacy drive-thru. Shocked us both when she flushed a duck. Past rescue experience made me suspicious, so I went back for a closer look. (Informed the pharmacists to make sure it remains undisturbed.) #AnimalRescue #ducks

#kitty wants to know when you’re gonna be finished working.
And you’d better be ready to ball up the nearest receipt and throw it. (This is her favorite toy. 🤷♂️)

So, not only am I spending hours of my day driving back and forth across town to have this found cat neutered, I also came across this lost yellow lab on my way home from dog daycare.
So… when can I go back to getting PAID for my rescue work? 😂😭

Shout out to Spay Memphis for Feral Mondays! It’s going to enable Spot (hey, the form needed a name) to live out his life as a happier, healthier community cat without making more cats!

Can’t even walk from door to car w/o meeting a lost and INTACT young cat. Can’t turn him loose; can’t bring him inside.
If you think working animal rescue automatically provides solutions for these situations, think again.
Btw… anyone want to look after a young cat for a couple of nights? 😬

Even while wearing a foam donut AND soft cone at the same time in a valiant (but ultimately futile) attempt to keep her from licking her injured toe, Bebop is determined to protect #kitty while she recovers from surgery.

BREAKING NEWS: We have switched to the post-surgical onesie.
Please note that these are not always a successful cone alternative for pets, but I’m pleased to report things seem to be going well in this case.

UPDATE: Managed to pill the kitten for the first time, with only minor injuries (damn those sharp, healthy teeth). I’d like to be gracious and mature about this fight but…
SHE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS! I WON I WON I WON!

#Kitty was spayed today and as you can (sort of) see, it’s going REALLY well. Huge success! 🤦♂️
She’s trashed her temporary accommodations like a rock star in an attempt to remove the cone. Pinning all my hopes on the pain medication, which she starts tomorrow.
