What an amazing place that I honestly didn't even know existed! The people working here are so knowledgeable and good to the cats. The girls had the best time playing with the cats as well! They have small rooms to go in where you can hangout with the cats in an enclosed, safe environment. I can definitely tell that the cats here are really loved and cared for! This is such a loving place for these cats. Also, shoutout to ASAP for being so good with the girl scouts who visited them as well!

If you're trying to find it on the street, the storefront says "The Little Dog House." They are a grooming business and rescue. When you walk in, all the doggies, rescues and the ones there for grooming, are running around together behind the counter. It makes my heart happy to come here. If you are interested in one of their rescue dogs, you can spend time with them in a secluded area and fill out an application. You can also foster and leave them there during the day for free doggy daycare.

I have brought my dog Chester here to the Humane Society before; though it was during the pandemic…read morewith a slightly different protocol. This time around, my pup was due for his three-year "double whammy" vaccination of both DHPP and rabies. I made the appointment online several weeks in advance (recommended since appointments go fast) and was able to select by my preferred date and time. I followed the clear instructions by arriving 5 minutes early, parking in the lot, then walking past the shelter building to the vet clinic. Julie welcomed me and Chester with a smile, while going over what to expect. She also offered him a kennel cough intranasal vaccine at the same time. The appointment was brief and required me to only wait about 5 minutes total. Not to mention that it only cost me reasonable $25 (there's discounts for senior citizens too). Julie walked Chester out and told me of possible side effects to watch out for. Although my pup was excited to escape, he also got a lot of good smells and pets in. We left all set for another 3 years. Keep in mind that both the DHPP and rabies vaccinations are required for dogs over 4 months of age in order to license them in the state of California. This helps protect all dogs but also reduces stray pets from roaming the streets. They also offer spay/neutering, deworming, flea treatments, anal gland expression, nail trimming, microchipping and an all-encompassing examination.

Check out their website for more information. Donate money if you can. If you are at a state park, find a park employee to help you. They can send out a ranger to assist. Keep an eye out for sea birds in distress. This area has algae blooms that make them birds ill and natural oil seeps that coat their feathers. Or if you see any birds ensnarled in fish line/lures! The wildlife rescue can help these birds. Please contact them. They have volunteers they can send out. If you find an injured animal in your yard you can also bring it in yourself. Please bring in any animal that you find has been bitten or scratched by a cat even if they seem okay because cat saliva can be deadly to them. Also birds that hit windows may seem to recover only to die later of internal injuries. Bring them in for evaluation. You can also volunteer with them. See their website for more information.

Her guinea pig had recently passed and she was enamored with this bunny. He introduced us to the bunny and educated us on how to handle her, where she came from, and many specifics about bunnies in general. After a while he left us to hold her and pet her which was enjoyable and sweet. We took some information about bunny care. We learned a lot, and had a wonderful experience just holding a sweet bunny! If we ever decide to adopt a bunny, we will definitely choose one here.

Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter…read more This place takes care of their animals, even if they have been there for a long time. The area around here has the Humane society, animal shelter, Dog Adoption, etc. So if you're not looking for rabbits, they have guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and maybe other kinds of rodents. I fell in love with my guinea pig, Marbles. My heart just broke knowing that these animals were not wanted anymore or were living under the crawl space of a house. I wanted to take them all in! But they were in good care, the workers there loved every single of their animals and constantly play with them and make sure they are happy. The bunnies lived in their own pens where they can run around and talk to the other animals. The guinea pigs sometimes play with rabbits together! Even if you don't want to adopt an animal, just stop by and pay the animals a visit.

Pet House has great prices on frozen dog food and they carry 2 excellent brands - SmallBatch and Tuckers. This time, I picked up SmallBatch Beef dog food (18 lbs). I have a large dog so the 18 pound box is perfect for us. And the ingredients in SmallBatch are so healthy. Plus, it's so convenient to go to Pet House and Trader Joe's since they are almost next door to each other. Thank you Pet House!
