🥳 Adoption Announcement 🥳

Charlotte, now named Tulip, has found her forever home with Lauren and her fur sibling Summer. It took some time to find the perfect family for Tulip, who loves going on walks and has even completed 14-mile hikes with her foster parent. Lauren, an active person who enjoys hiking, is a perfect match for Tulip. We are incredibly grateful to Lauren for adopting her.

Tulip was originally found on the streets of Indio Boulevard.

A special thanks goes to Gene, her foster mom. Your dedication and efforts truly save lives. Thank you for everything you do!

📣Adoption Announcement
Oscar and Max have been officially adopted by the Hulslander family. Deborah first fell in love with Oscar, a gunshot survivor who underwent two surgeries. Then, Maddie contacted us wanting to adopt another dog, and they immediately fell in love with Max. Now, Oscar and Max have a fur sibling named Reggie. We are deeply grateful to this family for their unwavering support of our organization.

Oscar was found on the streets of Coachella with multiple gunshot wounds, and Max was found in Indio, scared and confused. We extend our thanks to a Good Samaritan named Andy for bringing Max to safety.

This adoption was made possible by Eva, who provided excellent foster care for Oscar, along with furry companions Romeo and Leilani. Thank you! Fostering saves lives.

Reposting what posted. This goes to all the local rescues and community.

The valley is home to numerous amazing animal rescue and shelter organizations that share the SAME GOAL: securing forever homes for cats and dogs. These organizations work tirelessly towards a common objective of supporting animals in need and finding them forever homes. At the end of the day it’s not a competition and we should all be working together in helping each other.

Here are some of the organizations that I know about and individuals who also play an important role in our valley. Please adopt and support our local organizations.

Emily, a Petco employee, fell in love with Lukas, a charming kitten with striking markings. She hadn’t planned on adopting just yet, but Lukas’ sweet personality prompted her to try fostering with the intention of adopting. Kudos to his original foster, Tamara, for rescuing him.

Foster-to-adopt is a practical approach for determining a pet’s long-term fit in a household with existing pets, enabling a wise adoption choice.
