The Orange County Animal Shelter always has cats and dogs in need of good homes, and somtimes other animals. There is always a need for volunteers to help give the cats and dogs the TLC that they need so much when moved from their prior home into a stressful shelter situation.  Foster homes are always needed.  Let the  shelter director or OC Humane Society know that you want to volunteer, and that we sent you. Let your area's representative on the OC Board of Directors know that you support the the community's homeless pets and expect only the best of care for all of them.  If your request for help is ever turned down, we may be able to help.  Thanks!

This is our new favorite book about dogs, how they think, why they behave the way they do, and how to work with them to develop a great relationship, create good dog citizens, prevent problems and solve problem behaviors.  Dr. Swanson is an expert with years of practical experience.  Her book is practical and packed full of important information. You can read the first 2 chapters on her website:  http://givesmiles.us.  We love this book so much we have it at the clinic for $16, a lower cost than Amazon.  We also have donated copies in local libraries.  
 

Sarah Ferrell has been teaching Dog Manners to dogs and their people in the Fredericksburg area for many years.  She has written an award winning book on the subject titled Devoted to Dogs.  Sarah can help solve behavior issues as well as guide you in basic training of your dogs.  Check out her training schedule at:

It is always a sad time when a dear pet's life comes to an end.  We are blessed to have a local funeral home that provides loving and respectful care when that time comes.  Johnson Funeral Home is our choice for pet cremations.  They provide private crematations (ashes returned to you), mass cremations (ashes scattered on their family farm), urns & memorial stones, and an on-line memorial page.

ARME's Beagle Freedom Project is a national group working to reduce, the use of animals in research and to place them in loving homes.  Their link is: http://beaglefreedomporject.org.  

Most of this research is unnecessary and causes great distress and suffering to the animals used as test subjects.  They live very deprived lives.  They are used over and over again, often only to be killed in the end.  BFP works to have these dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. released into their care, so they can be adopted into a normal family life.  Please join us in supporting BFP & purchasing only "Cruelty Free" products.  Down load their "Cruelty-Cutter" App to get started.  Thanks you!
