🐾❤️ Cal-Adopt-A-Pet Day Was a Huge Success! ❤️🐾

On June 6th from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, we hosted our adoption event with the generous support of SPCA and CalAnimals, who sponsored the event and waived all adoption fees. Thanks to their support, our community came together in an incredible way, and the results were beyond anything we could have hoped for!

We are thrilled to announce that 17 animals found loving homes in a single day—an amazing accomplishment for our small shelter!

🐱 13 Kittens Adopted

3 kittens were adopted by our two Animal Control Officers for their families.
10 additional kittens were adopted by wonderful community members who learned about the event through social media and local animal advocates helping spread the word.

🐶 Nearly 5 Dog Adoptions

4 dogs were officially adopted.
We also launched our very first Foster-to-Adopt Program with one of our puppies!

Even more meaningful, two of the dogs adopted were scheduled for euthanasia due to space constraints the following Monday. Because our community stepped up and opened their hearts and homes, those dogs now have a second chance and a bright future ahead.

We want to give a huge thank you to our amazing volunteers—Cheri, Kelly, Linda, and Terri—who helped make the day such a success. They came prepared with music, lemonade, water, ice chests, pizza, donuts, red vines, and plenty of positive energy that helped create a welcoming and fun atmosphere for everyone who attended.

To everyone who shared our posts, encouraged adoptions, volunteered, donated, attended the event, and welcomed an animal into their family: thank you. Your support directly saved lives and helped move animals from the shelter into safe, loving forever homes.

A very special thank you to SPCA and CalAnimals. Without their sponsorship and the waived adoption fees, this event would not have been possible.

We are beyond grateful, blessed, and excited to see what can happen when a community comes together for animals in need. ❤️

17 adoptions in one day. 17 lives changed forever.
