Contentment
Just a little furry hunk of adorableness to make your day brighter: Meet Joey. Joey is “milk drunk” after guzzling a bottle of formula. Let’s all try to enjoy our next good meal as much as Joey clearly enjoys his. ❤️🐾
Lets Slow Down!
As businesses begin to partially reopen, there will be more traffic on our streets and highways. Please remember that the wild critters have had MANY weeks to get used to and enjoy our roadways being quieter. Our bears, deer, rabbits, and others don’t understand that there will very abruptly be many more cars out there […]
Lets All Practice Kindness

A Successful Pet Food Bank Drive Through

We met fabulous folks from virtually every town in Calaveras County and distributed a whopping 1,089 pounds of free dog and cat food — that’s more than half a ton! We feel so great knowing that the people we met today won’t […]
