Caring for 18–20 stray dogs — need help with food

Hi everyone,

I currently take care of around 18–20 stray dogs in my area. What started with feeding a few has slowly grown as more dogs began depending on me, and I couldn’t turn them away.

Right now, I’m trying to start their vaccinations and sterilization, but the cost of food plus vet expenses has become really difficult to manage on my own.

I’ve created an Amazon wishlist with food and essentials.

If you’re able to help by purchasing anything from the list, it would mean a lot—not just to me, but to these dogs who rely on daily feeding.

If the wishlist doesn’t work in your country, please let me know and we can find an alternative. I’m also happy to share photos, bills, or proof of purchases for full transparency.

Even if you can’t contribute, upvoting or sharing this post would really help.

I have posted for them before once when I needed help with food some weeks ago, and some of the pictures (the sick female and her puppies) is same since I didn't really click any of their pictures recently due to workload. Making it clear so that it doesn't create any confusions. (Someone from Britain helped me with a 10kg bag of food back then).

WISHLIST

Thank you 🤍

Fish are painfully underrated, they're so cute and dumb-looking

I don't know why no one says "aww" when there's a video of a fish that's clearly just adorable. Yes it's good food but it's just painful to think that I'm literally the only person who finds these dumb faces with beady eyes cute. Here are fish I found in a pond btw!!

Baby bird fell out of nest? Who can I call to relocate?

A bird has created a nest above my door to where I cannot reach. Today I look outside and a baby has fallen out of it. I tried my best to set it up because I would feel terrible if it died, but I don’t know if the birds parents will continue to feed it now. I think there are more babies above as I can hear them but cannot see them. I don’t want more to fall down or for them to die. Who can I call to get this nest relocated?

Hot take: pandas are overrated, more resources should be spent on endangered sea cucumbers and native insects

Not only are sea cucumbers and literally any other animal is much cuter and cooler than some herbivorous bear that looks like a mascot, they are not given as much attention as pandas.

I'm not saying we should stop caring about pandas. They're endangered and should be saved as well, but we should direct the same focus to other, more essential animals that are more threatened than pandas.

Also yes pandas are very overrated there's almost nothing special or cute about them. You can hate me for that, I'm just simply speaking my opinion. Animals like sea cucumbers and insects are much more interesting and cute. I'm not trying to be niche or different, if ur gonna tell me that then ur simply just being ragebaited (no offense). I'm just sharing my opinion.

Sloth, Costa Rica

It was such a pleasure to be so close to this guy. He climbed down the tree in front of me and pretty much posed for this shot.

Otter ragebaiting my dog

I live in texas, and we have a pond on our property. This morning, my dog goes out and starts barking weird. I checked to see what it was, and an otter had showed overnight i guess. It keeps letting her get within 3 ish feet, then dives down and swims across the pond, rinse and repeat. Is this normal?

According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Plains Spotted Skunk is....

My favorite official legally defined animal fact, as described by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which is thus cited in countless environmental reports and NEPA documentation, is that the Plains Spotted Skunk is catholic.

Granted it is "small c", catholic, so its unclear that it recognizes the papal authority of the Bishop of Rome, rather it could possibly be Anglican or Lutheran.

No other animal that I'm aware of has been assigned a Christian denomination, but I have always suspected that opossums are Presbyterian.

Degrees Difference

Does majoring in zoology vs wildlife biology vs ecology really matter if they all funnel into the same jobs and roles for the most part. Should I put much thought into this.

What type of dog breed do you think he is? He's about 7.5 months old now and is still puppy sized

We got him about 6 months ago now and are so curious on what he is, he's maintained his floppy ears and stayed super small. He's very energetic, loves digging, and has a built in stand function that is kind of creepy at times, absolute sweetheart when he's not chewing every thing imaginable

Octopuses might be the smartest invertebrates on Earth and they don’t even think the way we do

ve been reading a lot about octopuses lately and honestly… they’re on another level.

Unlike most animals, a huge part of their nervous system is spread through their arms. That means each arm can kinda “think” and react on its own, without waiting for the brain.

They’ve been observed:

  • opening jars from the inside
  • escaping aquariums (even at night)
  • using tools like shells for protection
  • and even recognizing individual humans

One of the wildest ones is the mimic octopus it can impersonate other animals like sea snakes or lionfish depending on the situation.

And then there’s the coconut octopus that literally carries shells around and builds shelter wherever it goes.

It’s crazy to think that something so different from us evolved this kind of intelligence.

Do you think octopus intelligence is comparable to mammals, or is it something completely different?

Somehow I became a squirrel mom yesterday, lol

Went out looking for morels at my favorite spot and ended up coming home with a baby squirrel! He was so starved and exhausted trying to survive without a momma, the poor thing. I gave him some banana nut bread and water and as soon as he was done he went into the crook of my elbow and curled into a ball and went to sleep for the night. It was the most adorable thing ever. I’ve never had a baby wild animal like this before but this guy needed help so here we are now with a pet squirrel! 😅
