MAY SHELTER STATS

Dear << Test First Name >>

May + June have been incredibly busy at our shelter! Not only is kitten season upon us, but we took in 13 dogs from our trusted fellow rescuers, the Clearlake Animal Association, who are making a heroic effort to get the Clearlake Shelter in safe, healthy, working order after it was criminally mismanaged by North Bay Animal Services. Meanwhile, we are still in search of a Veterinarian to take over our clinic for Dr. Clare, who is leaving our region to be closer to family and start one of her own. (Read On to learn more.)

Taken in all at once these challenges can feel insurmountable, but time and again, our incredible support network of donors, volunteers, local and online community have proven to us that nothing is impossible when we come together in service of the greater good. We are tremendously grateful for all that you do to facilitate our work. Help comes in many forms: be it a recurring monthly donation, volunteering, fostering, or simply liking and sharing our posts with your circle of friends, goes a long way in supporting our mission to save lives and serve community! Thank you from all of us here at MCHS from the bottom of our hearts.

Tips For A Safe And Sane 4th of July

As much as we love attending the parades, BBQs, and reunions of friends and family that happen during 4th of July weekend, at MCHS we can never truly relax knowing that every year Fireworks and rowdy parties startle pets, who often run away trying to flee what they perceive as danger. Every year during 4th of July we see a massive uptick of Missing Pet posts on Facebook, and see an influx of pets brought into us who were found wandering in dangerous conditions. A scared animal is a difficult one to catch. We’ve put together this handy flyer with pointers on how to keep your pets safe and calm during this coming weekend’s festivities.

KITTENS READY TO GO
HOME WITH YOU RIGHT MEOW!

We have plenty of Kittens at the shelter available for adoption right now, and like every summer, we anticipate many more litters to come in throughout the summer. We are in need of Kitten Food! Specifically: Friskies Turkey + Giblets Pate, which is appropriate for all stages of life. If you have the means you can purchase cans for us locally at Harvest Market, Hwy 20 Feed, and Fort Bragg Feed and drop it to the shelter. Or if you prefer, you can shop our Amazon Wishlist and have it shipped to us!

S.O.S. : MCHS STILL IN SEARCH OF FULL TIME VETERINARIAN FOR OUR CLINIC

As you may recall from last month’s newsletter, after 7 years spent providing outstanding veterinarian care for our animals at MCHS, we are happy/sad to report that Dr. Clare Bartholomew will be leaving our community, and MCHS, to live closer to family, and to start a family of her own. Mendocino Coast Humane Society is still seeking a FULL-TIME VETERINARIAN to care for our shelter animals and lead our low-cost community clinic in Fort Bragg, California. We have had several qualified applicants, but because of the ever-changing rules and restrictions from the Federal Government regarding Work Visas, we feel it would be best to hold out for a candidate with permanent U.S. Citizen status. Please share this flyer and the job listing enclosed below on social media and in your circle of contacts!

Meet Spencer! A Brave Boy Who Needs Your Help To Walk Again!

🐾 HELP SPENCER LIVE A PAINFREE LIFE!🐾

One Brave Puppy. Four Hurt Legs. A Lifetime of Hope.

Meet Spencer. He is a sweet, loving pup who wants nothing more than to run, fetch, and play like any other dog. Sadly, Spencer was born with multiple severe congenital conditions affecting all four of his legs.

To live a pain-free, comfortable life, he needs a series of major orthopedic surgeries. 🩺 Spencer’s Diagnosis

Our brave boy is fighting a steep uphill battle. Veterinarians have diagnosed him with:

Severe Hip Dysplasia (Both hips)

Patellar Luxation (Both kneecaps dislocate out of place)

Elbow Dysplasia (Both front elbows)

Because of this, every single step Spencer takes is a struggle. But with the right surgeries, he has a massive chance at a normal, happy life!

💰 The Goal: $20,000

The total estimate for all of Spencer's specialist surgeries, post-op care, and physical therapy comes to over $20,000.

It’s a massive mountain to climb, but we know that with a community of animal lovers behind him, Spencer can conquer it. Every single dollar counts. Whether you can give $5 or $500, you are directly buying a pain-free future for this sweet boy.

"We can't change Spencer's past, but together, we can rewrite his future."

How you can help:

Donate to Spencer’s Medical Care

Apply to Be Spencer’s Medical Foster

Even if you can’t afford to donate to Spencer’s Medical Care, sharing the enclosed flyer (right click/save image as)on Social Media, following and sharing his story on our Facebook and Instagram pages will help tremendously!

Cutie Pie is one of two dogs left of the eight MCHS rescued from the Clear Lake Shelter, in February, during the North Bay Animal Services neglect crisis. She is a loving, sweet, energetic dog with one of the softest, shiniest coats we've ever seen! She gets on well with other dogs, and in a testament to the resilience of the canine spirit, loves people and is always excited to meet new friends! She is currently in foster care, where she is working on leash training and basic commands. Fill out an adoption application today, or call MCHS to learn more about his wiggly bundle of joy! Her adoption fee is being waived/sponsored by Paws4Love.

Adopt Cutie Pie

That’s all the news that’s fit to print this month. From all of us at MCHS, we are wishing you a safe and joy-filled 4th of July! T.T.F.N.!
