This past Saturday was an emotional day at the shelter. Sue, who is a regular volunteer at the shelter, has been working with senior sweetheart Baby since she arrived from Ventura County Animal Services a couple months ago.

Sometimes at the shelter we have animals who it seems are just here forever. It can be especially difficult for new volunteers or staff when you fall in love with a sweet dog or cat who is just continuously overlooked.
