✨ Pinto mare, Oahu. 💕
This gal is easily recognized on Nevada's Virginia Range by her stunning blue eyes and the white that covers the center and full right side of her face.
Don’t worry—blue-eyed horses are every bit as healthy as their brown-eyed friends. 💙 Contrary to the cowboy myth, blue eyed horses are not more likely to go blind.
Blue eyes can be genetic, tied to certain coat colors, or connected to white facial markings. They’re a beautiful variation in the wild horse world. 💫

There are so many wonderful dogs at HSAR just waiting for someone to notice them 🥹💛
They wake up each day with hopeful eyes and wagging tails, dreaming of a family to call their own. These sweet souls will fill your home with laughter, loyalty, and that special kind of joy that only an animal can bring.
If your heart and home have room, please take a look at highsierraanimalrescue.org and meet our buddies who are longing to love you.
If adopting is not possible right now, fostering is a beautiful way to change a life. And if fostering is not the right fit, supporting our dogs with a monthly gift keeps their dreams alive and their futures bright. Even $20 a month makes a difference.
Every act of kindness helps a dog find their happy ending. 🐶💛$20

Bear Activity Update!
We’ve seen an uptick in bear reports across the area, which is normal this time of year as bears enter hyperphagia, when their appetites go into overdrive to prepare for winter.
🐻 Please help keep bears wild and neighborhoods safe by securing your trash and other attractants!
In Washoe County, Douglas County, and Carson City, local ordinances require residents to secure their garbage, and violations can result in fines. Even if you live outside these areas, unsecured trash is the #1 reason bears wander into neighborhoods.
✅ Use a bear-resistant container (BRC) whenever possible.
➡️ Contact your local waste management company to request a bear-resistant container or learn about other options for your area.
✅ Store trash inside a secure structure until collection day.
✅ Never leave pet food or bird seed outside overnight.
Securing your garbage isn’t just the right thing to do, in many areas, it’s the law.
