Jenni Speaks Out
Did you know female dogs can get mammary tumors (aka breast cancer), and also get what is called a pyometra where their uterus fills up with puss and eventually ruptures and kills the dog? Do you know what can keep these two things from happening to your dog? SPAYING them!
Spaying your female pooch not only prevents unnecessary puppies from being born, but it keeps your dog HEALTHY.
The average surgery to have a mammary mass removed is $900+.
The average emergency spay/pyometra surgery is $1,500.+
The average spay is between $300 - $500, and usually LESS if you get your dog fixed before their first heat. Many animal hospitals now hold LOW COST spay and neuter days for puppies who have yet to go into their first heat cycle. Many local humane societies do the same.
So be smart and save you and your dog the grief of these disastrous outcomes from not being spayed.

Did olive find a home? I haven't stopped thinking about that little sweetheart since I met her at pet express.
No, she still needs a home. Her foster was going to keep her, but decided not to, so she could foster future dogs. If you’re interested, please contact Shadow’s Fund! She obviously made an impression on you. :) Their e-mail is: info@shadowsfund.org
This is THEO. Theo is a 3 - 4 year old blue nose Pittie (mix). He has the biggest head and sweetest personality. He was pulled from the Santa Barbara shelter just hours before he was to be euthanized — all because he possibly has a torn cruciate.
Theo was pulled by Shadow’s Fund (www.shadowsfund.org) and was delivered to a vet hospital to be boarded. He is currently being treated for untreated allergies, which has caused his skin to be inflamed, his toes to swell up, and he also had a mild ear infection. He has started medication to help with the inflammation from the allergy source (which is to be determined). Theo will also be having a consult done with a local surgeon to have his knees further evaluated and surgery scheduled if necessary.
Once all of Theo’s medical concerns have been addressed he will be ready for a foster and forever home. If you would like to consider either option for Theo, please contact Shadow’s Fund (you must be a California resident) at: info@shadowsfund.org

STILL URGENT: Major needs a foster home ASAP. Major is a senior pit bull mix that has just not caught a break lately. He was dumped at the shelter with a terribly neglected ear infection. That infection meant ear surgery to remove both ear canals. After surgery, he spent months in boarding at the vet hospital with no one expressing interest in him. This weekend he was finally on his way to a home but he does not like the man of the house. He does not have issues with all men, and is great with women and children. He does not like other dogs. We know this sounds like a tall order but we have faith that there is someone out there that can give an old dog a comfortable home and love and will look past his special needs. Please contact us right away at info@shadowsfund.org if you can help Major.

Novato, CA: Need volunteers to visit/walk/spend time with Diego. Diego is in a nice boarding facility right now while we continue to look for a foster home for him. We are looking for people in the area who would like to get introduced to him and possibly help out by visiting/walking him at the boarding facility. He’s an absolute love. Let us know if you are near Novato and would like to help.
