Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
A spectacular year-end number to share! We transfer in kitties from our friends at Calaveras County Animal Services whenever space allows. We are proud to share that we’ve been able to take in and place 28% of their adoptable kittens and cats this year. How’s that for some awesome teamwork?
He’s Back!
He’s back! We’re so pleased to welcome Fun Gus, our shelter elf, for a third season of holiday adventures. Every year, Gus gets an up-close look at what life is like behind the scenes in our shelter. We’re pretty sure he reports back to Santa about what we’re up to, and we do our very […]

Coming Soon!

Unexpected Puppies
These little bitties were Thursday morning’s surprise arrival. (For the record, if your workplace doesn’t have Laundry Basket Surprises, you’re missing out.) After being removed from an unsafe situation, they and their mama needed immediate housing. The wee ones appear to be about four weeks old, and mom is likely a dachshund/chihuahua mix, commonly known […]
Caring Kiddos
Albert A Michelson Elementary soon-to-be first graders Dani and Isobel (far left and far right) had their December birthday parties sadly ruined by really crummy weather.
