Marvin Needs A Home!

“We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away.”
Plutarch, Greek Philosopher

Marvin is a 4 year old Terrier mix that was rescued from the Orange County shelter from being euthanized. His days were numbered, not because he was aggressive, unsocial, or unhealthy, but because he was unlucky. He had been there since May 4th and despite his long imprisonment, he was friendly, social, and just starving for someone to love him. Each year five million pets are killed in our nation’s shelters. Unfortunately, shelter killing is the leading cause of death of healthy cats and dogs in the United States. Although we have let them down in the past and discarded them before, once rescued from the lonely shelter life, these pets, like Marvin, will be loyal, loving, and never hold a grudge. With each pet Dana Niguel saves, we are closer to ending the needless suffering of these animals and finding them loving homes. Please let us know if anyone wants to adopt Marvin so we can save another life from being unnecessarily taken.

Sunshine needs a Home

“My sunshine doesn’t come from the skies, it comes from the love in my dogs eyes.” Author Unknown

Sunshine is a 6 ½ year old lab mix who is looking for a new home. Dana Niguel has gotten to know Sunshine over the years because of her constant need to board with us. Sunshine is a sad case who has spent most of her life in a garage. We have been trying to urge this client to find more suitable accomidations for her, but to no prevail until recently. She has finally agreed to turn her over to us in the hope that we can give Sunshine a home she deserves. Although she has been neglected most of her life and only her basic needs have been met, Sunshine is very sweet, always wants to please, and happy to just sit next to you in a warm bed. Dana Niguel is trying desparately to keep Sunshine from going to a shelter. She was already turned away recently because of overcrowding, but a 6 year old dog may sit waiting for several months to a year without getting adopted. With Sunshine spending the most part of her days in a lonely garage, barley getting to go for
walks, the damage of being encaged at a shelter for so long may be damaging to her personality making her even less adoptable. Please consider Sunshine for your next new addition.
