NINE MORE SMALL DOGS FLOWN TO SAFETY ON MAY 12....

On May 12, 9 more small dogs from the Camarillo Shelter were flown to safety...unfortunately, the mercy flight was too little, too late for "Fat Girl", a 10-month Terrier/Heeler mix who was euthanized by the shelter the same day.


It is a sobering reminder of the losses we will continue to sustain while the shelter population remains so high. Programs to decrease the number of dogs and cats that enter the shelter take time to build...and in the meantime, we are still losing wonderful companion animals at an alarming rate.

Mass transports provide immediate, though expensive, relief ...so we will continue to explore these avenues to save as many dogs as we are able in the short term.



Generous donors have provided enough money to fly about 10 more dogs to safety and Tiny Loving Canines has selected the next squadron and placed an "IP" (interested party) hold on them on behalf of P.A.P.A.....We are looking for just the right shelter for them as Boston and their volunteer vet staff have been delayed in their intake processing and are unable to accept any dogs this week.

Hopefully, these IP holds will keep this set of little ones safe and they will not suffer the same fate as the puppy, "Fat Girl"...who also had an IP hold when she was killed.
