by Terese Shaw

When choosing to adopt from a rescue, you give a second chance to a deserving pet and contribute to the welfare of animals in need. It's not only the deep fulfillment that comes from giving a home to an animal in need; happiness and the bond between a rescue dog, and its new family is immeasurable. The companionship, joy, and happiness is truly special for both parties, as is knowing you're giving a dog a second chance to experience an unparalleled bond, and the love they deserve. These rewards can be immeasurable.

A million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, my mother retired from Bank of America after over three decades of service. Her co-workers decided to gift her with an adorable bulldog puppy, and our family chipped in for what would be the best present she ever received. We named her Maggie, and she was a roly-poly bundle of wrinkles and happiness.

Like so many puppy mill dogs, he has a genetic defect in that he has no knee joint in a rear leg. To make matters worse, he was kept in a cage preventing the leg muscles from strengthening. Consequently, he was dragging his leg when he came into rescue.

Well, it’s been a crazy busy weekend, including Easter, Cesare Chavez Day, and my parents’ 69th anniversary. And if my lovely father were still here, he would be savoring a nicely chilled martini this evening. Tito’s please, two olives, and very light on the vermouth. And like most red-blooded sports fans, he would currently be obsessed with the wild and wacky world of college basketball, also known as March Madness.

I know I always say that Fall is my favorite season, but that’s usually in October. That’s when Halloween comes rolling around and all the ghouls and goblins creep sneak out from the city’s darkest corners.

Valley Animal Center: New Spawtlight Webpage Sparks Interest in Long Term Adoptables

2024 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Pets

by Juan Guitron

At the start of January, Valley Animal Center implemented a new social media strategy to find their adoptables loving homes.

These poor adoptables are often overlooked by potential adopters for one reason or another. The goal is not only to highlight these animals but also to educate the public as to why animals have behaviors some deem undesirable.
