Welcome to The Muddy Puddle.

Finding resources for pet owners and pet lovers in Lane County.

This website is a growing project to help find resources for pet owners in Lane County and have them in one easy resource site. Much of what I have on this site is found on other sites or shared information. If you believe any content is owned by you, please contact me and provide proof of ownership. If you would like it removed I will remove it, if you would like a link back to a site or other recognition I would be happy to provide that as well.

If you have found an animal that you believe is a “stray” please do not assume it is. I have recently found a very good website that expresses very strongly the idea of “THINK LOST NOT STRAY”. Even if the animal is skinny, dirty and acts scared or abused, it may not be. It may just be a shy or skittish animal. Please visit this website for more information on that subject. http://www.missingpetpartnership.org/recovery-thinklost.php Start on our Lost and Found Pets page with tips on doing everything you can to find the original owner before rehoming the animal yourself, keeping the animal or taking it to a shelter or rescue.

There is such a huge overpopulation problem in our community that spaying and neutering has become a large part of what I attempt to educate those around me about.

Check the calendar section for local fundraising, education and just plain fun events.

There are many spay/neuter assistance programs that you can take advantage of on our spay/neuter page for Lane County Residents in several communities.

I hope you find what you are looking for here and that you will benefit from the resources that I offer. I am continually searching for more pet friendly services in this area and welcome any leads on something that may be missing.
