Greetings!
 
It's difficult to say goodbye to a good friend, but change is inevitable and the work of AnimalSave goes on.  We want to thank Carla Bonetti for her hard work and dedication as AnimalSave's executive director, and wish her well in her new pursuits. For the time being, I will assume her duties assisted by our team of caring and dedicated staff and volunteers.
 
Preparations continue for our 9th annual Santa Paws Auction on November 21, at the Miner's Foundry and we are looking forward to seeing you there.  AnimalSave volunteers will be outside at Kmart, Raley's and SPD in Nevada City on Saturday, November 14th, with tickets and a special treat for your canine friends, please stop by and say hello to them.
 
I would like to add a special thank you to fosters Jon and Marie who made a huge commitment to Jake.  Jake was one of 6 puppies rescued by AnimalSave in February.  Things didn't work out with his first adoptive family, so Jon and Marie signed up as his foster parents.  At that time Jake was a 7 month old overly protective puppy, dog aggressive and with attitude to spare.  Today Jake is in his forever home, a well-behaved boy who loves people and his doggie pals.
 
Happy endings and wagging tails is the goal of everyone at AnimalSave!
 
For the Animals,
 
Carolyn Niehaus
Executive Director

Thanksgiving Safety Tips

'Tis the season for friends, family and holiday feasts-but also for possible distress for our animal companions. Pets won't be so thankful if they munch on undercooked turkey or a pet-unfriendly floral arrangement, or if they stumble upon an unattended alcoholic drink.

Cat of the Month~ Tabitha

Tabitha


Hi! My name is Tabitha. I am a 6 month old
Tabico who came to AnimalSave in July. I used to be shy but now I love to play with other cats and visit with people who come into the Cat Nap Adoption Room.


Dog of the Month~ Loshi

Loshi

Hi! My name is Loshi. I am a 2-
year old lab/pit mix with a happy, loving personality. I will be your big lap dog any time! I have been in foster care for many months with my best bud Tiny Tim and would love for the both of us to be adopted together to a home with a large fenced area, but we can go separately.

Visit www.animalsave.org to learn more about Loshi and other adoptable pets or call (530) 271-7071, ext 204.
