It seems there is a something happening every weekend at this time of year! This Saturday will be “Bark in the Park,” an annual event put on by the Humboldt Bay Firefighters at Sequoia Park in Eureka. This 5K walk/run is dog-friendly and starts at 10 am. This year the proceeds go to the Humboldt…
Dogtown: Lucy with no eyes, a diamond
Hoping all of you and your pets had as quiet and safe Fourth of July as possible. Here are a couple of fun dogs that we are currently working with. I can guarantee that at least one of them will never be bothered by the fireworks in the future! Lucy is a little Redwood Pals…
Dogtown: Redwood Pals’ wild ride!
What has our Redwood Pals Rescue been up to lately, you ask? Hold on to your hats, it’s been a wild ride! In the last week we have vaccinated 17 puppies, 10 way out in Weitchpec (a beautiful drive), taken six dogs to the vet for health certificates so that they can travel out of…
Dogtown: Get pally with survivors Allie and Mali
We’ve mentioned the shelter’s Emergency Medical Fund (EMF) here before. It is independent of the shelter and run by Friends for Life Animal Rescue. The EMF was created to provide funds for necessary veterinary procedures that are outside of the shelter’s limited budget. Like so many charities, December is the big giving month and by…
Dogtown: A glorious dog day at the Kinetic races
Hi everyone. Hank here, to give you this year’s dog’s eye perspective on the Kinetic Sculpture Race. My favorite sculpture is Sparky, who looks a lot like me. My humans have been participating in the race with Sparky for four years now. They all like dogs, especially Mom, and they decided that putting a dog…
Dogtown: ‘I didn’t think he would be able to do that…’
We had five little ambassadors for Spay and Neuter education through our house this past week. The pups were the offspring of a 45-pound mother and a 10-pound father. The owner told me “I didn’t think he would be able to do that…” The mama dog had ten unplanned puppies! The situation was brought to…
Dogtown: Take home Willow, a beautiful, gentle giant, and by the way, Barclay needs a new situation
Thank you to everyone who came out to our Pints for Non Profits last week! It was fun getting to meet some new faces and have a chance to talk to people a little about what we do in our Redwood Pals Rescue. We found one couple that is willing to do transport for…
Dogtown: Bouncy Comet, Rosie on the rebound
One of the dogs at the shelter is our friendly Comet. Comet is about a year old. She is so dog-friendly that the shelter staff use her to check the new dogs for friendliness! Comet likes all kinds of play. She’ll happily fetch a ball, or splash in puddles, or romp with another dog. And…
Dogtown: Hero & Diesel are some of the finest gents you’ll ever meet
Wow, Daylight Saving Time already! The trade-off for those early mornings is having daylight until 7:30, certainly a plus for everyone who likes to get outside for a bit after work. At the shelter, Tuesday and Thursday evenings will now have daylight all the way up to 7 o’clock when the shelter closes. The late…
Dogtown: Puppies and shepherds and so much adorableness
This year, 2019, is already proving to be a year of shepherds and puppies at the shelter. This sweet little girl, Paisley, is both. She arrived at the shelter on Valentine’s Day and has been stealing the hearts of the volunteers ever since. Paisley is about four months old and is full of life! She…
