Over 100 dogs rescued amid animal welfare case in the High Desert

San Bernardino County Animal Care continues caring for more than 100 dogs linked to an ongoing animal welfare investigation in Newberry Springs. County officials said Thursday the investigation in the Mojave Desert-based town included puppies born after arriving at the Devore Animal Shelter in San Bernardino. The dogs are receiving daily care and an independent veterinarian is evaluating their health and well-being, county officials stated. In response to Animal Care's initial urgent call for help, rescue partners quickly stepped forward to help.

This is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together.” With more animals in its care, San Bernardino County Animal Care continues to

Big Bear Alpine Zoo to greet the season with shimmer (and snuggly sweaters)

THE BOBCATS AND WOLVES... and mountain lions and little critters that call Big Bear's well-known animal park home rock cozy coats made for chillier nights. But the humans calling upon the Big Bear Alpine Zoo do need to wear a jacket or a sweater or both, plus a scarf and mittens, before heading out into the starlit property to soak in the seasonal shimmer and glow. That glow comes from millions of bulbs and decorations, the entrancing sights appear at the zoo for a few weeks each November and December. Oh yes, and a few January dates, too: It's Wild Lights, an after-dark experience summoning the enchantment over several nights, starting Nov. 13, 2026. There are, in fact, two million lights to admire, and themed areas that fit the festive spirit of moment, including the wholesome "Classic Christmas" section. Other spots include "Rudolph's Storybook Adventure" and "The Alpine Night Sky," which delights in the density of stars that appear over low-lit Big Bear on any given evening. Visit Big Bear is behind Wild Lights, and the beneficiaries of the multi-week event are Care for Big Bear and the zoo, a place that gives "... injured, orphaned, and imprinted wild animals a 2nd chance."
