Times-R-Tuff

I know that times are tuff right now. Lots of folks are dealing with lots o' stuff. One of the things that people are dealing with is losing not only their homes but their pets as well. This is not an easy situation for anyone and can be beyond depressing.


I have noticed that one way to help beat the blues is to feel like you are an integral part of something positive. There are so many pets out there that can be helped by your inner volunteer. There are so many different ways to help.


During the next series of blog posts I am going to be listing local Pet Rescue and Shelter's volunteer needs and orientation days.

Just figuring that this is a big county and I know that it can be easier to dedicate time when you don't have to travel as far. There are opportunities all over town and maybe I can help point y'all to some of them.


But before we get to the volunteer selections of the day...

Let's pause to appreciate the smoochy twosome that is known as...

Big Guy & Big Girl - These two lovely kittys are obviously bonded buddies. Big Girl is missing a leg but gets around quite well. They are a wee bit shy at first but get to snuggling pretty quickly.
Adopt them at San Diego Humane Society. [link]

and now onto the volunteering opportunities...

If you have experience with HTML / Website creation & updating then the House Rabbit Society could use a hand with their new website. If you would like to lend a hand or find out more about what they need - contact Judith [email link]

North County Humane Society will be having a volunteer orientation on Sat. March 8th from 11am - 1pm. To register call the volunteer coordinator @ 760-757-4357 x1244 or go to [link]

Volunteering can be a very empowering experience and one that could help during a time when things might be falling apart.

In the words of Dodie Smith (the gal that wrote The Hundred and One Dalmatians)...

Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.

Sweet Georgia on My Mind...

Georgia - This wee lassy is waaaaay beyond cute. Lil' missy cutie pie kept wigglin' up to me to say hello. She has some health issues but I think her peppy personality might be the cure to what ails you. If you would like to find out more about this lil' peach...
Adopt her at FCIA. [link]

I am sure that this wee chi will have her new owner singin' the song...

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

whassuuuuup!?!

Indiana - I love this big boy. I can not believe he has spent so many days at the shelter. He is a luv bug with cute barrel doggy buns. He is a big fan of the belly rubs and hangin' with his dog & people buddies.



He can be a bit o' da shy guy at first but warms to you quickly. He then gets right down to sharing the smile power.


He has been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism which allowed him to gain a bunch of weight. He is receiving daily medication and is doing well & losing weight.

You have got to go down to the San Diego Humane Society and check him out! [link]
