🐾 Meet Belle 🐾

She is a 2 and 1/2 year old Chihuahua Mix. She knows basic commands. She listens great. She walks well on a leash and does well with other dogs and gets along with cats. She is a velcro dog, likes to be close to her person. Belle is potty trained and has mastered the doggie door! She is quite food-motivated too. She respects her foster siblings and wants to be around them and humans at all times.

Belle is little, weighing about 15lbs. She's fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever home! 🏑

You'll find our adoption application on our website www.SCAR.pet

🐾 Who rescued who? 🐾

We're thrilled to highlight the good work our team has done and continues to do for the dogs we rescue. This is Carlos. His experience as a TAILS handler has been nothing short of transformational. The impact his effort has on our rescue dogs has given them a second chance at living a good life in loving homes where they no longer fear abandonment or abuse. Max the Boxer and Gizmo are two dogs he trained and what they might not know is that they in turn gave Carlos a second chance as well.

Tonight, Carlos shared his personal story with a crowd who came by to view his pieces at the Art of Rehabilitation exhibit inside the Monterey County Government Center in Salinas. The exhibit is up now until Friday at 168 W. Alisal St.

Scan the QR code on the bottom left-hand corner of the first image to watch a video of his story.

Thank you, Carlos, for sharing your journey with us.

Today is the start of the cultural festivities of Dia de Mu***os and it starts as a day for pets. It is a day to remember the love and companionship our furry friends gave us. It’s a time to celebrate their beautiful spirits and the joy they brought into our lives. We honor our beloved pets, keeping their memories alive in our hearts.

How you can honor your beloved fur baby:
πŸ•― Light a candle at your Day of the Dead altar
πŸ“Έ Place a photo of your pet
🧸 Add your pet's favorite toy
🌼 The aroma of marigolds is known to guide your pet's spirit back to you for the holiday
