Summer is coming, what do you have planned?We've put together six weeks of educational fun with adoptable animals! It all starts June 22 with Kitty Caretaker, a cat care camp for kids age 12-15. Critter Camp fills up quickly, so register your child today for a summer experience they'll never forget!

...and we'd like to shout a big THANK YOU for the HUGE difference you've made for the animals this month! Your participation in East Bay Gives on May 5 helped raise more than $10,000; thank you to everyone who pledged, shared, tweeted, and gave. Our May 15 gala, Tails at Twilight, also exceeded its goals (we're still tabulating the results), thanks to big support from sponsors, volunteers, auction contributors, and the animal-loving donors who attended! As we continue to increase our rescue and adoption numbers--we sent home around 35% more animals in the first quarter of this year than we did in 2014--the support of our community is what makes it all possible. On behalf of all the dogs and cats we serve...THANKS!
