🎉🐾 Kenai has been adopted! ❤️

We are thrilled to share that Kenai has officially gone home and is starting his next adventure with his new family!

He’s heading into a home with an experienced German Shepherd handler who will give him the structure, guidance, and love he deserves as he settles into his new life.

Wishing Kenai and his new family a lifetime of happiness, loyalty, and unforgettable adventures together. Go live your best life, sweet boy! 🐕❤️

🐾 In case you haven’t met Clancy yet, we’d love to introduce this very special boy. ❤️

Clancy is a 5-year-old pittie who is deaf and has limited vision, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life. He loves car rides, walks beautifully on leash, and is always ready for an adventure. He’s also convinced he’s a lap dog despite weighing 75 pounds!

Because the world can sometimes feel overwhelming, Clancy would thrive with a patient, consistent person who can help him navigate life with confidence. In return, he’ll give you endless loyalty, companionship, and love.

Do you have room in your heart and home for sweet Clancy? If adoption isn’t possible, consider fostering and letting him crash on your couch for a while. A break from the shelter could make all the difference for this deserving boy. ❤️🏡

June is National Foster a Pet Month 🐾

This dedicated month is a reminder that opening your home to a shelter pet — even temporarily — can save lives. Fostering frees up valuable kennel space, helps pets prepare for permanent adoption, and gives dogs suffering from kennel stress a chance to relax, decompress, and show their true personalities in a home environment.

The best part? We provide all the food, supplies, and medical care. You provide the love.

A short stay in your home can make a lifetime of difference. ❤️🏡🐶

☀️ The pavement is hotter than you think. 🍳

When the temperatures climb, asphalt can become dangerously hot and burn your dog’s paws in only seconds. 🐶

Protect those paws by planning walks for the coolest parts of the day.

🚗 IT IS TOO HOT TO LEAVE YOUR PET IN THE CAR 🌡️

PLACER COUNTY: The heat is coming—and with temperatures expected to top 90° for the next week, it can be deadly to leave a pet in your car. Even a few minutes can be too long. And no, cracked windows are not enough! 🔥

🐾 Temperatures inside a vehicle rise rapidly
🐾 Pets can suffer heatstroke in minutes
🚨 What starts as a quick errand can quickly become a life-threatening emergency

And remember: California law prohibits leaving an animal in an unattended vehicle under conditions that could cause suffering, injury, or death.

No errand is worth the risk. Where you go, they go—or they stay home. 🐾❤️

June is Pet Preparedness Month and WILDFIRE SEASON is around the corner. There's no better time to get ready. Make sure your furry family members are part of your emergency plan:

✅ Pack a grab-and-go kit: food, meds, leash, carrier & comfort items
✅ Double-check microchip info is current
✅ Have an evacuation plan that includes your pets
✅ Know which shelters & hotels accept animals
✅ Practice quick, calm loading into the car

Your pets count on you. Let’s keep them safe, no matter what.
