Hello everyone,
Pets Lifeline is finally back at our locaton and cleaning up from the fires. We returned to the shelter with power on Tuesday October 17th and are slowly getting back into the groove. We are busy cleaning and preparing to take in cats and dogs in need.
Thank you for all the support and help we have received. There is still a lot of work to be done and the most helpful contribution is to donate funds so that we can be there for all those in need.
Huge shout outs to our first responders and devoted staff and friends who came to our rescue when things got rough.
Warmest regards,
Nancy King, CEO/Executive Director

Microchipping. A microchip for your pet can mean the difference between lost and found. Although tags and collars are important, they can tear or slip off. With microchipping, a veterinarian injects a tiny computer chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just under your pet's skin, between the shoulder blades.
Here are a few tips we offered to pet owners returning to their homes after the October 2017 fires. They may be useful during similar crises in the future.
​
DOGS​
-
Take your dog for short walks only.
-
Human masks (N95 rated) can be used if your dog will tolerate.
-
Please provide plenty of water and monitor intake.
-
Be careful where you are walking if you are returning to a burn area.
-
When returning from walking your dog, wipe down their face and
paws with a DAMP cloth to remove ash.
​
CATS
-
Keep your cats inside if possible. If they have to go outside, try to
monitor the amount of time they spend outdoors.
-
Please make sure they have plenty of water.
-
Check their paws when they come in.
