The Kindness Ranch is partnering with the Wheatland Country Store for a first-ever adoption fair. Dozens of dogs and cats have come to the Kindness Ranch recently and they are all looking for Forever Homes.
This event was a tremendous success! We adopted out 6 dogs and 1 cat to loving families. Thanks a bunch to Rick, our companion animal manager, for his heroic efforts.
When: 10:00 - 3:00, Saturday, February 25th, 2012
Where: Wheatland Country Store, 301 16th Street, Wheatland
Molly came to the sanctuary in February 2012. She spent time at a laboratory where human stents were tested in her jugular vein. She was anesthetized many times for these tests. Molly is very sweet, about 50 lbs, house and leash trained and dog- and cat-friendly. She would LOVE to find her Forever Home!
The day after Thanksgiving, 16 dogs came to their new home at Kindness Ranch. Used in Lyme disease research, they all arrived nervous and somewhat frightened.
A crew of staff and volunteers welcomed them. We worked for hours cleaning them, giving them their first collars, and introducing them to their new home. Our large outdoor dog runs were at first intimidating to all sixteen of the pups, but over time they all discovered fantastic new smells and had fun running wildly. It was truly a THANKSgiving for the animals!
On January 5th, Executive Director Mike Stabler hosted a Meet & Greet at the Source Restaurant in San Francisco. Fifteen of our supporters attended and learned what’s going on at Kindness Ranch. Some made extraordinary donations, even though fund-raising was not our motivation. Let us know if you want to host a Meet & Greet in your hometown and we’ll work with you. We are also appreciative of the Source which donated iced tea and appetizers. Yum!
