Meet Artic🐾🐾 A569722
Artic🐾🐾 is a 3yo unaltered female Siberian Husky, weighing 45 lbs, who was brought to the shelter on 5/5/26.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a gorgeous Siberian Husky with ice-blue eyes and a big personality to match, Artic🐾🐾 may be your girl!
This beauty is friendly, playful, and always ready for her next adventure. Artic🐾🐾 is understandably excited to get outside and take care of business. She’s full of energy and enthusiasm, and she’s currently working on polishing her leash manners.
Artic🐾🐾 is a smart cookie who already knows “sit” and takes treats gently from your hand. She’s also been gaining confidence while exploring agility equipment and seems to enjoy having a job to do. True to her Husky roots, she’ll thrive with an active family that understands the mental and physical enrichment this intelligent breed needs.
One of the sweetest things about Artic🐾🐾 is how social she is with people and dogs. She recently spent time with another shelter dog, Qasim🐾🐾, and the two were absolutely adorable together. Watching her play and interact showed just how much fun and companionship she has to offer.
Artic🐾🐾 is more than just a pretty face—she’s a good girl with a loving heart who’s ready to trade kennel life for a home of her own.
Come meet Artic🐾🐾 the happy husky and see if those stunning blue eyes steal your heart.

Exciting news: my legislation, the BARK Act, is now one step closer to becoming law! The bill will help pet food manufacturers and pet food stores donate usable, surplus food and supplies to shelter cats and dogs in need.
I joined my friends Penny and Julie at the Big Bad Woof, a beloved local business, to celebrate our progress.
They stayed together until their very last moments. 💔
Years earlier, a family spotted two frightened senior dogs walking side by side through the rain. They were thin, exhausted, and clearly had nowhere left to go. The family only planned to help them for a single night, but after seeing them curled up together beneath the same blanket, they realized these two best friends could never be separated.
The black dog always watched over the golden one. If one ate, the other waited. If one rested, the other laid down beside him. Through birthdays, backyard afternoons, and countless happy memories, they remained inseparable. Their faces turned gray, their steps grew slower, but they never stopped choosing each other.
Then one morning, the family found them lying peacefully beneath the same blanket they had shared for years. As if they had simply decided to fall asleep together one last time. Just as they had entered that home side by side, they left it side by side. Now two small wooden crosses stand in the yard, but everyone in that house knows their story was never about two dogs. It was about a friendship so strong that not even goodbye could separate them. ❤️
Lee Marvin died on August 29, 1987, at the Tucson Medical Center in Arizona. He was 63 years old.
The cause was a heart attack complicated by respiratory distress and long-standing cardiovascular disease. Family members, including his wife Pamela Feeley, were by his side during his final hours. One of his children had rushed in after hearing his condition had worsened.
Earlier that morning, Marvin was alert and responsive.
By noon, everything changed.
He collapsed suddenly, and despite immediate efforts by medical staff, he could not be revived. The man who had spent decades portraying some of cinema’s toughest characters was gone.
In the final years of his life, Marvin had largely stepped away from Hollywood.
After completing "The Delta Force" (1986) with Chuck Norris, he declined additional film offers. Age, old injuries, and declining health had taken their toll. Friends said he was tired of the spotlight and wanted a quieter existence.
He found that peace in Tucson, Arizona.
Living with Pamela in a modest ranch-style home, Marvin settled into a simple routine. The dry desert climate helped ease his breathing problems, and he embraced a slower pace of life.
Most mornings began before sunrise.
He brewed his own coffee, listened to jazz or country records, and spent hours reading military history and Western novels. A stack of Louis L’Amour books rarely left his side.
Family visits became more meaningful during those years.
Relationships that had experienced difficulties in the past slowly improved. There were efforts to reconnect, and Marvin seemed content with those small victories.
His days were quiet.
A walk around the yard, dinner at home, a drink in the evening, and old war documentaries on television. Sometimes he laughed at familiar faces appearing on screen. “They don’t shoot ’em like that anymore,” he remarked during a rare local radio interview.
Behind the rugged image was a man becoming increasingly reflective.
“I spent a lifetime trying to be the toughest guy in the room,” he said. “Turns out, peace is harder to find than a fight.”
As 1987 progressed, his health deteriorated rapidly.
Hospital stays became more frequent. Breathing grew difficult. Oxygen tanks became part of daily life. The fishing trips he once loved were no longer possible.
Still, he rarely complained.
Instead, he sat on his porch watching the Arizona horizon and writing brief thoughts in a leather journal. Short entries captured simple moments, memories, and passing reflections.
On August 29, 1987, that quiet chapter came to an end.
His final words to Pamela the night before were simple and heartfelt:
“I’m tired, hon. Let’s rest awhile.”
As the desert sky stretched endlessly above Tucson, Lee Marvin slipped away with the same quiet strength that had defined his final years.

He’s the kind of dog who just gets you. Whether he’s sniffing along the riverbank, dipping his toes in the water, or soaking up your attention, he’s all in.
And Ann? She’s just as smitten:
“I don’t know who gets more excited to see each other, me or him. He brings me so much joy when we walk together. I was told I hog Jingles🐾🐾—and I own it—because he’s my favorite.” 💛
Jingles🐾🐾 has been waiting far too long for a home of his own. Let’s change that.

🚨AFTER NEARLY 8 MONTHS IN A SHELTER KENNEL, QUESTIONS ARE GROWING ABOUT SNUGGLES' QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE COST TO TAXPAYERS
TUCSON, AZ — Snuggles, a 2-year-old livestock guardian dog belonging to a military veteran and his family, has spent nearly eight months at Pima Animal Care Center following a first-time bite incident that occurred on his family's property.
His family has reportedly been charged more than $15,000 in boarding fees while fighting the case through the court system.
The children's grandmother, who was the bite victim, has publicly asked that Snuggles be returned home.
As the case continues, new questions are emerging.
What is Snuggles' quality of life after nearly eight months in a shelter kennel?
What enrichment, exercise, socialization, and human interaction is he receiving?
Why is his family unable to receive updates about his condition?
As Tucson and Pima County face budget challenges and reports of staffing reductions, many residents are asking whether it makes financial sense to continue spending substantial public resources fighting this case instead of pursuing a resolution.
How much taxpayer money has already been spent on legal proceedings, administrative resources, court time, and personnel hours in a case where the owner, family, and even the bite victim are all seeking alternatives to euthanasia?
At a time when public resources are stretched thin, should hundreds of thousands of dollars be spent fighting over an accident, or should the focus be on finding a reasonable resolution?
Members of the public who would like answers are encouraged to respectfully contact Pima Animal Care Center and Pima County leadership.

A four-month-old Greyhound puppy has been found dead on a major road after being snatched by dog thieves.
Sam Lindley and Lara Pitavino were left distraught after their Greyhound Sally vanished from their home in Chiswick on Sunday, May 24.
Ships, quickly launched a social media appeal in a bid to track down their much-loved pet.
But just 12 hours later, they were delivered the devastating news that she had been found dead near the Porsche Garage on the A4, near Chiswick Village, on Monday.
Witnesses told the couple they had seen the adorable pet, who had a rare heart condition, being hurled out of a vehicle.
The Greyhound was quickly rushed to the vets by kind-hearted bystanders, but sadly suffered severe head injuries.
Sally's 30-year-old owner, Lara, described the dog as their 'baby' that 'went everywhere with us'.
'She went missing at 10pm and was found about 10am the following morning,' she added. 'It's hard to believe there are people out there who would do this.
'But we just want to know what happened and get closure.'
The report we've got from the vet, is that a group of people has seen her being thrown out of the car window near the Porsche garage in Chiswick and brought her to them,' Lara added.
She and her partner Sam have since appealed for two kind teenagers who saw what happened to come forward.
'We really want to thank them for what they did, absolute angels,' she added.
'And ask them any other detail they could provide to help us find out why Sally was in that car without a collar.'
A Met Police spokesperson said: 'On Monday, 25 May a report was made to police that a dog ran off from their owner in Chiswick Village and then sadly found dead on the A4 westbound at the junction with Harvard Road. The incident happened around 21:15hrs on Sunday, 24 May.
'Officers have conducted initial enquiries including speaking to witnesses and reviewing local CCTV. Enquiries continue to establish the circumstances of the incident.
'Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting CAD4244/25MAY.'
One of the most heroic things I've seen recently is one little town in northern Michigan that kept a bird from going extinct.
The town is Mio, population of about 1800. The bird is the Kirtland's warbler, a small gray-and-yellow songbird that breeds in exactly one kind of habitat, mostly in a single corner of Michigan.
In 1974, the entire global population dropped to 167 singing males. The bird was one of the first species listed under the original 1966 Endangered Species Preservation Act, and it looked like the species was going to be extinct within a generation.
The problem was the habitat. Kirtland's warblers need fire-disturbed jack pine. Their entire breeding range is one specific successional stage of a fire-adapted forest. Decades of fire suppression had let the jack pine grow up past the age the birds could use. The birds had nowhere left to nest.
Mio became the staging point for the recovery. They built a forest management program: clear-cut, replant, burn, repeat. About 76,000 hectares are now managed on roughly six-year rotations to keep a continuous supply of young pine in the bird's preferred age range.
The work has paid off with the total population estimated at over 4,500 birds. The Kirtland's warbler was removed from the endangered species list in 2019, a rare full delisting.
The bird still requires active management. If the work stopped, the jack pine would age out within 20 years and the species would collapse again.
@StoriesBySammi Cattlemen have tried to eliminate bison since forever. "They carry brucellosis" - but no transfer on record. Bison are smart, powerful, and don't need drugs to prop them up. But they're Native, and that's just not the Shining White Path.
@StoriesBySammi@stward01 Like so many in the Trump Administration, Burgum is grossly unqualified for his job. Like Trump, he hates animals and the environment. Like Trump, he destroys everything he touches.
