He is a playful, friendly, and sweet puppy! LOVES THE SUN. Two weeks ago we started training and he already knows many tricks… he knows how to sit, stay, down, touch, look (he look at you), come, leave it. He’s a very smart boy!! He has a very particular way to sleep. we all love him”

Playful pup Clyde found his forever family! Everyone was so excited to take him home. Looks like Clyde has a couple of new siblings to keep him busy.

Update: Fluffy mama cat Gigi (fka Chica) was adopted in 2019. She’s flourishing in her forever home, getting lots of quality cuddle time and looking gorgeous!

Our longest term resident Guinea pig Daytona has been adopted!

Update: “I wanted to send you a little update on how your friend Violet is doing since she came to live with me on Christmas Eve this past year.

First, she is now called Vivie as in Voluptuous Vivie, some times Vicious Vivie as she has limited patience for brushing and some handling but we don’t let it stop us from living the good life. I waited until today to message you as today Viv had her first appointment with Dr. Gervais, her new vet and we learned that she has lost a little weight. She is now weighing in at about 16.6 pounds, down from her previous 17! Yippee, that’s good news as Viv has been working very hard on her figure! While you can’t tell from the attached photos she is definitely feeling vivacious in her new life and I am so, so pleased she found me!”

UPDATE: “I wanted to give y’all an update on Huckleberry. We renamed him to Bigby. (He is quite the Big boy.) We celebrated his 3 months recently with some froyo! He’s been getting along super well with our 7 and 4 year olds, and we are able to take him on loads of errands and adventures.

Also, turns out he was 73 lbs and vet says he’s closer to 1 year old! haha. He’s got that big puppy energy, but a really well mannered one. Outside of a little bit of dog reactivity that we’ve been making progress on, Bigby boy is turning out to be the perfect family cow, I mean dog.”

Adoption update! Bonded pair Vito and Ducky were adopted in February and we already have an update about how they’re doing in their new home at Oak Barrel Winecraft.  “Thought you’d like to see how well Vito and Bucky are doing. They are now known as Birdie (stripey kitty) and Carl (house panther). They have completely won over every customer with their adorable personalities. They settled in very quickly and seem very happy! Thank you all for all that you do for all the critters!”

Update: “I adopted Nala in late January, 2022, becoming her third and forever home in Marin County. She initially had some abandonment anxiety and didn’t bark at all. After she got used to her new surroundings and realized this was her forever home she started to bark (when appropriate). She loves to run on local trails and cuddle on the couch.
Her favorite recreation spot is the local dog park, where she loves to tussle with other dogs her own age. She is enrolled in obedience class, where she has proven to be a quick study. Nala is a loving and loyal companion – a real sweetie.”
