Quiggly
Quiggly’s dad was elderly and when he passed away at home the paramedics did not know that Quiggly was in the back yard. They left without notifying anyone about him. Lucky for Quiggly the neighbor noticed him and started throwing food over the fence and dripping her hose over so he would have food and water until she could get him out of there.
Her friend Frank agreed to keep him until we could pick him up on Saturday. When we met Frank and Quiggly in Elk Grove after our annual picnic he was stressed and confused from everything that had happened to him. He quickly settled down in his foster home and immediately made friends with their other foster girl, Sarah Jane. He and Sarah Jane would play and play and play for hours.
Buddy and Bow
Buddy and Bow had their mom pass away while she was on vacation. They were left with their sitter who couldn’t help them. Buddy is twelve years old and has Cushings disease. Bow is seven and they are inseparable. This is a hard pair to get adopted so the shelter called us for help. We took one look at them and agreed to take them. The staff at the shelter drove them all the way to Santa Barbara to make sure they got here safely.
They were upset and stressed when we meet them but they quickly settled in and they are delightful! Buddy is a sweet happy boy and Bow sticks to him like glue. We are looking for a home for Bow who will take Buddy as well as a sanctuary boy. They are sweet , cuddly and love to play. We are so glad we took these two sweethearts.

Sammy Finally Found His New Family
Sometimes it takes longer than we like to find the perfect home for our ‘kids’ but we don’t give up! Sammy was in foster for two years before he found the perfect family for him. Sammy is a quirky little guy. He has some rules but he is a happy little man and we loved having him in foster with us.
We were so sad to say good bye but we are so happy for him. Now he gets to be the only boy in the house. The Morgan’s are experienced cockapoo people who will understand his quirks and wonderful personality. He is loving all the love and attention. He gave them a two paws up rating!
Part of having a no-kill policy is making sure all our dogs are kept in healthy, happy environments until they are adopted. We could not do that with out your support. Thank you all for helping make this happen for Sammy and all his friends.
She Was Hit By A Car And Her Pelvis Was Shattered
Talia was hit by a car and taken to the shelter. We knew when we got the call that her vet bills could be high and we didn’t have much to spare but she was in so much pain when we got the call we could not say no.
he will be on bed rest for six weeks with acupuncture treatments for the nerve damage she has sustained. The estimate for her surgery and follow up care is about $4,000 but we couldn’t say no. She as sweet as they get and trusts that we will take care of her.Honey Looked Like A Pin Cushion
Honey came in with so many fox tails she had to have surgery to remove them all. Poor baby looked like a pin cushion under all her mats and tangles. She turned out to be a real beauty under all that hair and dirt. She will be ready for adoption in a couple of days when we make sure she has healed up completely.
It Is Time For Our Spring Fundraiser!
Lulu is completely blind at 2 years old from cataracts. We think she deserves to see for the rest of her life so we are going to make it happen. We are so grateful for your support that allows us to give Lulu this precious gift.
This year for every $25 donation towards Lulu’s cataract surgery we will enter you 15 times in our Spring Fundraiser drawing. We are giving away $500, $250 and $250 at each of our Annual Picnics. The first drawing will be at our Sacramento annual picnic on June 22 and the second will be at the Santa Barbara picnic on July 20th. Don’t forget to reserve your spot at the Picnic!
Ladie’s New Outlook On Life
This is Ladie’s before picture. She had kennel cough, four inch nails and mats all over. But when we got her cleaned up and over the kennel cough she was pretty darn cute!
Here she is after her clean up, a few good meals and lots of TLC from her foster mom Debra. She is a whole new dog!
Ladie is a gentle sould about 6-8 years old. She just wants to be with someone who will love her. We think she deserves it, don’t you?
Dallas Can’t Wait!
Dallas is a happy fellow. He was rescued from the Baldwin shelter at the last minute before his time was up. He was turned in by his family who said they had him for a year but could not afford his care anymore.
He had ear infections and kennel cough but those quickly cleared up. His mouth was another story. He has an adorable overbite and his lower jaw does not sit straight causing one of his canines to go right through the roof of his mouth every time he bites. This week he goes in to have that tooth removed so he will be able to eat without pain for the first time in his whole life!
Needless to say he can’t wait! Even so Dallas is the sweetest, most loving boy around. We hope he finds his forever home very soon!
We Couldn’t Resist!
The picture of Tobias that the shelter sent us showed a huge ugly tumor in the corner of his mouth. It described him as a senior boy with severe medical issues. We couldn’t resist. This boy needed us!
On the way home from the shelter he got a special treat just to start off his new life on the right track. We shaved him down and found an adorable 8-10 yr old boy with a mouth that hurt like the dickens but he was the sweetest, gentlest little soul.
The vet said the tumor was malignant and suggested removing it. Once he is sedated she could get a better look at it then she could tell us what his chances are. But even if it only bought him a few good months we were ready to go ahead. His surgery is scheduled for the 19th of this month as the tumor was so infected he needed to be on antibiotics for a week before we could try the surgery. So for now he is taking his pills like a gentleman and getting prepared for surgery. Then he will be ready for a foster home. We will know then if he will be going into hospice or be available for adoption. We have our fingers crossed. This boy deserves a good long life!
