We just acquired this dog last week. His name is Watson and guess what?
He's a good boy.
He has acclimated to our kennels very well. He'd love to be at home in your living room.
Call our office at (831) 634-1191 for more information on Watson and our other adoptable dogs.
Tuffy, the once-teeny kitten who rode his way to Hollister in the engine of a pickup truck, now has a great life with this gal. Tuffy was adopted last week! Christmas for both of them was glorious!
Congratulations! “Meow”

The Results Are In ~
Many of you are aware of Marina Gordon’s fantastic efforts at trapping homeless cats, caring for the sick cats she traps, and finding homes, fosters, and rescues to take in kittens needing a little more TLC.
Well, look no further than Benjamina’s story. She came from Marina’s place and was transferred here to our Kitten Room. Benjamina is now living in the arms of this lovely adopter.
Congratulations to everyone!
