Hi everyone! This week’s featured pets are a very special trio who deserve the absolute best. Their owner is going through major life changes in Redding, including a move that unfortunately means they can no longer keep them. It’s heartbreaking, but they’re determined to find the right homes where these guys will be cherished. Meet Duke. Duke is a 7–8-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix, currently about 75 lbs, on a healthy diet and getting daily walks to drop those last 10 pounds. He’s

Looking for a unique, affectionate feline companion? Say hello to Saber, a stunning 2-year-old tabby boy currently available for adoption through Catz and Dogz of the North State Rescue in Cottonwood, California. Saber stands out with his extra toes—he’s polydactyl on all four paws, giving him those adorable “mitten” feet that make him extra special. He sports a beautiful dark stripe running down his back and an unusual tail that’s not quite full-length but not a bobtail eith

Looking for a petite, stunning love bug who will steal your heart the moment she purrs? Say hello to Katniss, a sweet black-and-white girl who proves that the best things come in small packages.

She’s mostly black with a crisp white stripe running down her chin, matching white stripes on each of her front paws, and adorable little white “boots” on her b

Titan is a charming young West Highland White Terrier (Westie) boy living in Cottonwood, CA. He’s small in size with that classic wire coat and a personality that lights up the room! Titan’s Story: His mom was used as a backyard breeder until the owner no longer needed her. She and her newborn litter — including tiny Titan — were heartbreakingly abandoned in an apartment and left to fend for themselves. Born on August 1, 2024, Titan is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for

Teddy arrived at the rescue in rough shape — heavily matted, never groomed, and never taken to a veterinarian. You’d never know it now. After some serious TLC and a marathon grooming session (thanks to Pam — a miracle worker!), Teddy emerged as an absolute doll.

Born around June 4, 2023, this creamy-beige charmer (named after Bailey's Irish Cream for his gorgeous light color!) is believed to be a Jack Russell Terrier / Chihuahua mix. At just 13 pounds, he's compact, portable, and oh-so-snuggly. Bailey sports a distinctive white stripe between his eyes, a white-tipped tail, and a white patch between his shoulders. His favorite toy? His little stuffed dog—he carries it everywhere like a best buddy!

In the heart of Redding's community, a small cry for help echoed near Sundial Bridge Drive last month, leading to one of the most touching rescues in recent memory. A compassionate passerby, out for a walk, followed the desperate sound and discovered a young cat wedged deep inside a drain pipe—trapped, starving, and injured. Animal Regulations officers from Haven Humane Society responded swiftly. Using careful technique and snake tongs, they worked for about 15 minutes to saf

These six fluffy bundles of joy are part of a litter of nine born to the incredible mama dog Princess, who gave birth right at the shelter. Volunteer Cheri was there for every single birth and has been their devoted "second mama" ever since—providing round-the-clock care, love, and guidance as they've grown into energetic, unique little characters. Princess, a resilient girl, initially welcomed 10 puppies, though the litter faced some heartbreaking challenges early on. These

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!
