Critical Need for Foster Providers - Kitten Season Early and Prolific
With the fair winter weather, unaltered cats are mating earlier and creating a critical need for Foster Providers. We need people to open their homes to animals until they are ready for adoption.

Animal Fostering Lifeline – You can help save lives
The Animal Shelter takes in 280 animals weekly. This average fluctuates slightly year to year, but the number of animals entering the County Animal Shelter is staggering, no matter how you look at it. Become an animal foster volunteer! “Fostering animals is very gratifying and we make it easy to get involved,” said Volunteer Coordinator Celeste Ingrid.
Record Life-Saving Difference with Animal Adoption and Programs
The February live release rate at the Animal Shelter soared to 79 percent and has been growing steadily since 2010. In fact, December 2012 marked the highest rate ever achieved – 83 percent! The live release rate data is comprised of adoptions, return to owners, and animals going to rescue organizations.

Rocky is a fighter! Help Us Save More Lives!
Rocky is a sweet 6 year old Chihuahua and was also a case of cruelty/neglect. He came to us lethargic, horrifically emaciated with open pressure sores and severe muscle atrophy, and within an advanced stage of diabetes. After several months of critical care, including repeated blood glucose testing, Rocky is doing fantastic and is now ready for a loving home.
See before and after photos, and read more about how to adopt Rocky. Providing extensive medical care is a financial challenge for a municipal shelter such as ours and your donations help make these types of
successes possible. Even the smallest contributions can add up to some of the biggest happy endings!
Donate to Rocky and other animals like him in need.
