Ginger
The Long and Short of It
A sweet, longhaired Dachshund found herself at the Sacramento SPCA in late October after her family brought her to us for end-of-life services. At 10 years old, veterinarians determined that Ginger had a large mass in her abdomen. Her owners, soon to be married and moving out of state, were not equipped to handle her medical issues and thought euthanasia was her only option.
Volunteer Spotlight
Nancy
Nancy’s Nomination, “Nancy’s face is one I see around
the shelter on a daily basis. She seems to be everywhere:
smiling, offering support, whipping out a dog treat, having deep
conversations with dachshunds, you name it!! She has so
many roles as a volunteer, I can’t even keep them all straight,
but she seems to help out with everything! She brightens the day
and lightens the load and we are so lucky to have her!”
Frances & Taffy
You've Got a Friend in Me
In September 2012, Frances – a retired Sacramento State Physics teacher — lost her beloved Smooth Fox Terrier Molly to lung cancer. At 96 years old, Frances still lived in her family home and always had a dog. Molly was her constant companion, and kept her active with daily walks and gardening.
