SHAID’s dog runs are also full. Snickers is still with us. He is a 4-5 year old Akita-Cattle dog mix. He is a great guy but does not do well with cats. There must be someone out there without cats who would appreciate the love of a good dog. Mason is a 5 – 6 year old husky mix. Astra is a Rottie/Lab mix. She is a nice girl who loves to play in the water. Passion is a female golden lab 2 – 3 years of age. Jasmine is smooth coated terrier. This little black and white beauty is young and as cute as a button. Willy is a spaniel/beagle mix – 7 years or up. He is good natured with everyone and also good with both cats and dogs. This is gentle, sweet old boy. Puppet is a female terrier mix 4 – 5 years of age. Della, Rottie/Lab mix, is new to SHAID . She is sweet and attractive and only about 8 months old. It is Della’s first day at the shelter and she is very nervous and hesitant. It won’t be long until she is just one of the gang. Dudley is young golden lab mix with a very nice disposition. Marcie, a Rottie/Shepherd mix is probably about 6 or 7 years of age.
Patsy, the bunny, and her 8 offspring are still hopeful that homes can be found. These bunnies are adolescents now. They have grown up at SHAID. Please give them a chance. If you can work a couple of rabbits into your lifestyle please do so. The shelter is trying to be responsible to these little ones. Most of the cost of neutering will be borne by SHAID. Rabbits are even less responsibly treated than cats.
Tom is our special needs cat of the week. We thought he didn’t get along with other cats, but, apparently he is just too large to be caged. He is not beautiful on the outside (white and gray short haired ) but has a great personality. He loves to rub and purr and is a complete gentleman when free. He was rushed to the Vet this week covered with blood. He had been battling with other inmates through the bars. Once in the car he started to purr and hasn’t stopped since. He is now being housed, very temporarily, at Oakland Vets. He needs a home, quickly, where he can spread his wings (sorry, legs) |

Although we quite often hear about and publish "Happy Tails" of our former residents, this one was special and bittersweet, we think you will agree. Join us in paying tribute to a great SHAID cat by the name of TIGGER!
Hi
Just thought I would send you a pic and tell you about our Tigger. He was born in February 1996 and he adopted us from the SHAID animal shelter.
We have just had to put him to sleep but he was the best cat ever and we had a wonderful 14 years with him.
Thank you for being there in his first 6 months before we adopted him.
He was an only cat, inside only and grew to a great weight of 21 lbs. He was long too because of some Maine Coon in him.
Please have a look at his pic as we say goodbye to him;
Loretta and Mike |

In a bid to aid much needed adopters to come out at convenient times, the shelter will be operating extended hours, UNTIL 7 PM on the following THURSDAYS: July 22nd, August 5th, August 19th and September 2. There will be special pricing on some of our longterm residents and seniors. If you have room for one or two more, please come out and adopt! Do you have somewhere at work or in a local store, church, firehall, etc. that you could place aposter to help us advertise the extended hours? You can download a poster here. Help us help these wonderful creatures to find homes. Thanks! |

Adopting a Shelter Dog - The First Seven Days
This 100-page book (co-authored with an experienced Veterinarian) shares tips and information on how potential owners can effectively prepare their home and themselves, select the right dog to match their lifestyle, and ease the transition from shelter to home. It also has some really great stories from real adopters sharing the trials and the joys of bringing a rescue dog into their family.
Here are some of my favorite topics that are in the book:
* A Month Before You Adopt

* Training
* Socializing
* Healthcare
