Greetings volunteers! We hope everyone had a treat-filled Halloween! There were some fantastic adoptions this past week, but perhaps none as special as the adoption of Sassafras! Sassafras came into the shelter in July, and along with several other dogs, presented with distemper. Dr. Belinda Evans, our Director of Shelter Medicine, said this about Sassafras: “It is thanks to the very hard work of the Veterinary Assistants (Lizzie, Stephanie, Linda, and Barb) and Animal Care staff, along with the wonderful San Quentin handlers, that this girl (and the other distemper dogs which will hopefully be going up [...]

Vinny and Dexter

By |2021-10-04T13:54:05-07:00October 4, 2021|Blog, Happy Endings, Lives Made Happy|

Two years ago I adopted Ledson and Larson (now Vinny and Dexter) with my college roommate from Marin Humane. They stole our hearts in the atrium, and we knew we had to give them a home. We have now graduated from college, and I was the lucky girl that got to bring these two brothers home. They have brought so much joy to my life and everyone that they interact with! They love to cuddle, play, and watch the birds outside. I can’t imagine my life without them! Thank you Marin Humane! Emily Duncan

Let’s call him Tiny to protect his identity. After a few weeks of what felt like successful fostering, Tiny was adopted by a perfectly lovely family. Then he bit Dad and had to be returned. At that point, I wasn’t sure what else our home could offer Tiny. My concern was that he would learn he could pull that stunt [...]
