Kodi finds new home complete with little sister Kira

Thank you so much for all of your help with helping my boyfriend and me adopt the husky from the North County Humane Society & SPCA. We named him Kodi. He loves wrestling with his sister Kira. Kodi lets her win a lot, it’s really cute.

Thanks again.

Ama 1991-2006

We Celebrate the 13 1/2 years we had with Ama. Those years were full of adventure, laughter, joy, and immeasurable love.  Thanks for being a part of that.

We adopted our beloved Ama at NCHS on July 11, 1992.  We’ll be back.

Maisie's grin conveys her appreciation for her new family

Her new name is “Maisie.” She is bonding well and as you can see from this photo, she is overjoyed!  She is wonderful and such a delight.  Tell her “no” and she will sit up very pretty and shake her head no.  She thanks all of you who took such good care of her.

Sampson's Christmas wishes for a forever home come true

Thank you for the extra care you so kindly provided to Sampson, the diabetic cat who we adopted in late November. He has done extremely well in his new home and is in excellent health.

As we both regularly volunteer at an animal shelter, we have experienced first-hand the hard work that is required to care for the many animals that find themselves in need of loving homes. Animals, like Sampson, with special needs require even more time, space, attention, and monetary support. You have all contributed substantially to helping Sampson get the extra help that he required while waiting to find his “forever” home with us. Thank you so very much.

We also wish to inspire you to continue extending help to even the most hopeless animals that you shall inevitably encounter in your work. We know that Sampson was running out of time at the shelter, but even the extra time you did give him has made all the difference. Please use our small monetary donation to continue providing your valuable services to animals and the people whose lives they enrich.

We are including a picture of Sampson during his recent visit to Santa. I am not sure what he wished for this Christmas, but I am sure he would wish for you all to have peace and joy! Please remember his story and let it be a source of hope.

Sampson now shares his home with two house rabbits towards which he displays a cautious curiosity. (I do believe he’s never quite seen anything like them!) His favorite activities include plopping himself on the patio, playing with satin ribbons (especially when we are wrapping presents), and sleeping by the fireplace or on the couch (that he instantly claimed as his own).

We will do everything in our power to ensure that Sampson lives the rest of his life in our safe and loving home. He is truly a treasured addition to the family!

Thank you again!

Barney and Shiner help ease the pain of loss

When both of my canine friends passed away this past summer I was heartbroken. Then, I saw Barney and Shiner at the shelter. Barney is a 1 yr old Doxie/Aussie mix that is the funniest looking thing on earth.

Shiner, by contrast is the most beautiful white boxer you ever saw. These two have really helped me overcome the depression I felt when I lost my two friends.

Thank you Shiner and Barney!
