Story
If you are a dog lover in Humboldt County, you may already have heard about Cream Puff, missing in Southern Humboldt since July. Cream Puff was a resident of the Humboldt County Animal Shelter for over a year. He was loved by the volunteers, who rejoiced when he was finally adopted. Within 48 hours, however, Cream Puff had escaped from his new home and was lost in the hills. Our intrepid volunteers drove down again and again, checking out sightings, chasing all leads, and shouting “Cream Puff” at the top of their lungs through the hills of Whitethorn, Myers Flat, Weott, Salmon Creek, and everything in between. They brought his dog friends from the shelter to aid in the search. They carried rotisserie chickens, hamburgers, and squeaky toys. They camped out in their cars and cooked bacon on site to lure him. They made a lot of foxes very happy, but saw no Puff. Eventually, they learned that Cream Puff had been returning to one property in Salmon Creek. Though he was being fed regularly, he was still scared, and kept running away before anyone could grab his collar. At this point, one of our superhero volunteers took her efforts to the next level and managed to trap Cream Puff and bring him home!
Cream Puff is now staying with a volunteer in Arcata, but it is only temporary placement. We are looking for a longer-term foster or an adopter for this brave boy. According to the volunteer: “Cream Puff is so grateful to have shelter and food and affection! He greets me with a happy smile and excited wag every time I see him. He has been receiving visits from all his volunteer friends and is absolutely thrilled to see them!” Cream Puff is house trained and is very attentive. He can be shy when meeting new people, but warms up quickly. He is friendly with other dogs and could do well in a multiple dog household.
