Week 57. Dogs come to us in many ways. Many of the dogs we work with arrived at the shelter for one reason or another, some are puppies whose mothers arrived at the shelter pregnant and went into our foster programs, and some dogs are referred to us from other agencies such as veterinarians or…
Dogtown: Join survivors Teddy and Riley on their life journeys
Week 56. Today we have two tales (tails?) of medical foster dogs. These are dogs that come to the shelter with a serious injury or medical condition in need of treatment. We seek medical fosters for these dogs so that they can get the proper care, rest or physical therapy that is required while staying…
Dogtown: Shelter staff vaxxed up in time for the Blitz and Sheba show
The dogs are estimated to be five to seven years old. They are pretty typical Huskies – a little aloof, interested in tracking prey such as rodents or felines, and colorfully vocal on occasion. They love to sniff around the play yard and will follow a tossed toy, but have little interest in retrieving.
Dogtown: Peppy Miss Pippa, laid-back Arnie
Week 48. We’ve been having some good rain lately. Have you wondered what happens with the dogs at the shelter on a rainy day? Our intrepid volunteers are usually willing to suit up in raingear and get everyone out for a potty break, but we move inside for some real fun! A nondescript hallway on…
Dogtown: Share the Love with Redwood Pals
Week 47. This time last year we were all still out and about in the world but change was coming fast. Friends were seeing plays in San Francisco, but others who had tickets a week or two later never got to go. Looking forward to the day when we can see live performances again. First…
Dogtown: A pair of cuddlepups
Cheddar and Tiger Rose happily trot into their crate when it is bedtime and go right outside in the morning to go potty. They stay close when people are around, except for the afternoon that the resident dog took them for a little walk down the driveway. We think she was trying to get rid of them, but fortunately the puppies didn’t fall for that!
Dogtown: Don’t confuse our clean, caring shelter with that troubled one
Wes will make an affectionate and attentive companion for his adopter! Just this week Wes went in for a cat test. The cat he met took a good swat at him and he didn’t react at all. We feel that he could live with a feline roommate.

Dogtown: Get Pally with Jake and Cali
Week 40. Happy New Year! May 2021 bring us all some relief from the challenges of 2020. It’s not just the shelter cats and dogs that could use a fresh start! Here are a couple of dogs that are already on their way to a new beginning and would be happy to share that with…
Dogtown: Carter and Clarice are skilled in the dogly arts
Week 39. Carter wants to wish you a Merry Christmas! He is such a good sport, happily modeling an ugly Christmas sweater for the Sheriff’s Department’s holiday contest. Carter would love to find a forever home in his stocking, though he is willing to wait for the right one to come along. Carter’s dream home…
