Escape Goat!

By Amanda Volden

  This morning we got a phone call that a Nanny goat and two babies had gotten loose in Oak View from a house where no one could be reached. A nice neighbor called it in and one of our Officers went out to see if she could help wrangle them up.

Update: Senior Love Mandarin

By Amanda Volden

UPDATE: We were all so happy to receive the following update on our dear Mandarin who was at the shelter for over 6 months before she was adopted about 4 weeks ago. We estimated that Mandarin was between 15-17 years old. It takes a special person/s to adopt a senior animal, but as you can see the rewards are priceless! We have quite a few senior animals at the shelter now hoping to one day have their own "senior retreat".
