SOS!! This little cutie needs a home. While offering our TNR services we found this lovely boy is too sweet to put back onto the streets. Meet Rio, a young (~6mos) long-hair feline with a heart full of affection. He’s neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Rio possesses an irresistible charm that instantly wins over everyone he meets. Rio's sweet, friendly nature makes him a wonderful companion. He loves to play, his youthful energy bringing joy and laughter to all around him. His favorite activities include chasing after toys and curling up for a good nap. Despite his playful side, Rio also knows when it's time to settle down and enjoy some quiet time. He's the perfect blend of lively and calm, offering the best of both worlds. Adopting Rio would mean gaining a loyal friend who will brighten up your days with his sweetness and playful antics. He's ready to bring joy to a loving home, could that be with you? His adoption fee is being sponsored.

Featured story this week from Placer County. Something we all need to be aware of. 🦟

West Nile virus: Horses, humans and who’s at risk

It’s West Nile virus season in Placer County. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and can make people, horses and birds sick — and even cause death. West Nile virus is most active in west Placer agricultural areas and adjacent communities.

Last week, the first horse to test positive in the state this year was detected here in Placer. If you have a horse, be sure to talk to your vet about vaccinating your horse against West Nile virus.

Unlike horses, there is not currently a West Nile virus vaccine available for humans. Protect yourself by using repellent with EPA-registered ingredients, and remember to drain standing water that can produce mosquitoes.

Big Day of Giving is Thursday! To get a glimpse of the positive impact we have within our community, read our story about Clara and Star: https://animalplace.com/rescue-stories/greytful-greyhounds/ . These ‘Greytful Greyhounds’ were saved initially by a good neighbor reporting animal abuse to the police. They referred the case to us and our job was twofold: to rehabilitate these sweet houndies and to refer the case to the D.A. for prosecution. We’re happy to say, both were accomplished!

With heartfelt gratitude for your support, Big Day of Giving donations can be made at https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/ !
