TAILS FROM DUBLIN CREEK: July Newsletter

Happy 4th of July! The kennel is jumping and we are so happy to be busy and full of all your wonderful pets! The 4th of July can be a scary time for animals with the fireworks and noise, but not when your pet is boarding at the kennel. Because of our location, nestled back into the corner where we are and not too far from the freeway, we are generally protected from most fireworks and noise which makes it a great place for dogs to be if they don't like fireworks. We also play soothing music to drown out any outside noise and to calm the animals.

Speaking of the 4th of July
For those of you whose are animals are not boarding this holiday, please remember to keep your pets inside on and around the 4th of July. Did you know that the 5th of July is one of the busiest days for animal shelters? This is because so many animals escape on the 4th when they are afraid of the fireworks. Even when people feel that their dogs are very secure in their yards, many escape when very afraid.

Dogs in Cars
Please do not leave your dog in the car on hot or even warm days. Did you know that when it is 75 degrees outside the temperature inside a car can creep up to 100 degrees in just 10 minutes? Leave your dogs home when it is warm out, the risk is too great just to go for a car ride.

SMILING FACES OF OUR HAPPY GUESTS

FEATURED ADOPTABLE

FAYE

Faye is a 5 month old female terrier mix puppy. This sweet, loving girl came to us as an 8 week old puppy with her brother Darby. They were dumped at an overcrowded animal shelter in the Central Valley. Because the shelter is so overcrowded with so many animals and so little space, many friendly, healthy dogs and cats are put to sleep each week because they have no place else to go. Faye was dumped at the shelter so young that she couldn't even stay at the shelter and had to go to a foster home where they could be properly cared for. Faye is a very sweet and cuddly girl. She is sensitive and easygoing. She does well with other small dogs. Faye is very petite, only about 6 pounds so we are looking for an adult only home for her. She likes to go for walks and car rides. We took her to an adoption event and she had a great time hanging out and meeting new people. Faye has already been spayed and vaccinated, now she just needs to find her forever home. Because she is our Featured Adoptable, her adoption fee is just $150 throughout the month of July. Also, Braveheart Dog Training is donating a Beginning Class for Faye's new family. If you or anyone you know is looking for a wonderfully sweet companion, please consider our little Faye.

Volunteer With Us

As you know, we run a rescue program where we take in unwanted dogs and cats just before they are due to be euthanized and find them new, loving, forever homes. We currently have 9 dogs in our program. While we give them as much as we can, we can never give them enough individual time and attention as we would like to. We are looking for people to volunteer some of their time to simply come to the kennel and take one or more of our foster dogs for a little walk or spend a little time playing with them. It really means the world to them to get that extra bit of one on one time and it makes them more calm and happy while in our care and more adoptable when their forever home comes along. Just call us or stop by to help!

Puppies and Kittens and Cats, oh my!

We have many wonderful animals available for adoption. If you or anyone you know is looking, please come our way. We would love to find forever homes for our adoptable animals! Here is a little peek, but visit our website at www.dublincreekanimalfoundation.com to see all of our wonderful adoptables!
