Momentum Builds For Season of Giving




Dorian Dreher & Ann-Marie Dorian

Kind and cheerful, generous and timely. Surely they were some of Santa’s helpers who arrived in two cars that pulled into our parking lot within minutes of each other. As a non-profit organization with 501(c) status, we rely solely on donations to be able to rescue and care for more than 200 dogs and cats any given day. This weekend, employees of Pacific Compensation Insurance in Agoura Hills brought so many offerings that extra people were recruited to assist with unloading. 

Stacks of wet and dry food, containers of cat litter, boxes of newspaper pages and bundles of bags soon appeared. All are wonderful, usable gifts! Ann-Marie Dorian explained that funds for the items were raised by recycling efforts at their company. Dorian Dreher said numerous staffers add their own money, too, and enjoy lending support throughout the year. 

A very warm THANK YOU from the Pet Adoption Fund organization to Pacific Compensation Insurance, Ann-Marie Dorian, and Dorian Dreher for all their kindness, generosity and support of our cause.

A very special THANK YOU also to the Reisman Family, Bitsy the Doxi, Peanut's mom, Julie Campbell, and countless others who have donated  to us during this holiday season and throughout the year.  

It’s been joyful and amazing these past few days, seeing donations arrive ranging from beds and toys to cleaning supplies, financial contributions and more. Those of you that can and do, thank you very much for your help!

Ready to Say Hello, Hoping to be Chosen

Pet Adoption Fund event @ Petco - Canoga Park

It’s difficult to describe … with as much variety as holiday songs, as many voices as a winter concert, and overlapping tones creating a one-of-a-kind audio experience. It’s the sounds made by the big group of little dogs we bring to mobile adoption events. Attend our next one this Saturday (Dec. 13) at Petco in Canoga Park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to hear it for yourself! A sign will announce our location outside, while the unique noise is sure to make folks wonder what all the excitement is about.

Confident, curious or happy canines will be louder as they greet passers-by or ask for attention. Sometimes the goal is simply getting in the last word, er, “woof.” Put in a special playpen, the pack provides squeals of delight during playtime, or barks and grumbles during friendly competition to be seen by potential adopters. Some want to be petted, some need to go potty, others beg for a treat or a bit of whatever a visitor is eating. From high-pitched howling or funny grunts to at-peace panting or quiet sleeping, hints of their personalities are on display.

If you like what you hear or see, decide with heart and head if you’re ready for a furry family member. On-site volunteers can answer questions about the process, and give details about any dog. The forecast is sunny skies and refreshing cool weather — a great time to stop by!
