The City of Shasta Lake Animal Shelter is beyond capacity and facing tough decisions. Three sweet, healthy, young dogs—Mocha, Gucci, and Conan—were originally scheduled for euthanasia this Thursday due to overcrowding. Thanks to a generous angelic sponsor, they've been given a short extension!

Karen Hansen moved from the Bay Area to Northern California in the early 1990s. She was shocked to discover widespread animal neglect and abuse in the area. Unable to turn away, she stepped up, volunteering at local animal shelters and becoming the first in Tehama County to start a "Pet of the Week" feature to highlight adoptable pets and raise awareness of the many animals in need of adoption.
