✨Spin the Wheel of Fate – Special Adoption Promo✨

From October 1 – October 18, adoption fees come with a fun twist! Everyone who adopts will spin our Wheel of Fate to see if they get 25% off, 50% off, or even 100% off adoption fees.

Special adoption fees apply to:

Now is the perfect time to adopt your new best friend—or find the perfect companion for your current furry pal—just in time for the holidays.

Every animal is:
* Vaccinated and dewormed
* On flea and tick prevention
* Dogs tested negative for heartworm and on prevention
* Spayed/neutered
* Microchipped

That’s an incredible value and an even better reason that now is the time to adopt.

Let’s get these animals home where they belong.🐾🤍

Exciting News from Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter! 🐾
We’re proud to officially launch our Behavioral Assistance Program (BAP) designed to give shelter dogs the tools they need to overcome challenges and thrive in loving homes.
From leash pulling and nipping to separation anxiety or learning to trust again, many dogs just need a little extra support. Through this program, they’ll receive personalized training — and, when needed, board-and-train care with Ruff Pup Canine Academy, led by Samantha and Bobby Lindquist, who bring over 15 years of expertise.
Our very first success story? Ronin! After completing training, he’s on his way to the Jefferson Working Dog Foundation in Oregon, where he’ll continue his journey as a police detection dog.
To keep this life-changing program going for other pups like Ronin, we need your help. Consider making a donation today — and be sure to note Behavioral Assistance Program or BAP so your gift directly supports this effort.
Together, we can give every “ruff pup” their happily ever after.

Foxtails, burrs, and thistles may seem harmless, but they can latch onto your pet’s fur, paws, nose, ears, eyes and even their mouth! 🌾
If a foxtail embeds itself, it can lead to painful infections. To keep your furry friend safe, always give them a thorough check after outdoor adventures and don’t forget between the toes!
A little extra attention goes a long way in protecting their health.

August 22nd is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🐾
Our feline friends deserve the best care—just like us. Regular checkups help keep them healthy, happy, and purring for years to come.
Vet visits can catch small issues before they turn into big problems. Aim for yearly checkups, and for our senior kitties, a few extra visits go a long way.
Let’s show our cats the love they deserve with regular TLC at the vet!

Bringing a shelter pet home is such an exciting moment but it’s also a big transition for them. 🏡🐶🐱
Every animal adjusts at their own pace depending on their personality and past experiences.

Here are a few ways to help your new family member feel safe and supported:
✨ Give them time and space to settle in before introducing lots of new people.
✨ Create a routine—like regular walk times or feeding schedules—to build comfort and consistency.
✨ Be mindful of their triggers, and always keep doors and gates secure.

With patience, positivity, and love, your furry friend will soon feel right at home as part of the family. 🩵

Ronin’s Ready to Learn! 🐾
We’re thrilled to support Ronin as he joins the Shelter Dog Board & Train Program! This 1.5-year-old Rottweiler/Lab mix is 92lbs of charm, curiosity, and lots of energy. While he’s full of heart, Ronin still needs help mastering the basics—and that’s where this incredible training opportunity comes in.
Thanks to the team at Ruff Pup Canine Academy and with the support of Napa County Animal Shelter, Ronin is getting the structure and skills he needs to thrive in a future forever home. 💙

✨ Want to support Ronin’s journey?
Click the and include “Ronin” in the notes so your gift goes directly toward his training and care.
Let’s set him up for success—and get him home for good. 🐶🏡
