Meet Uncle Jim! A little shy at first, but more than happy to become your best friend once he gets to know you!

Though they are not a mandatory dual adoption, they will make a great duo for someone looking to have two! (Both of them are German Wirehaired Pointer/ Standard Poodle mixes and are only about one-year-old so they are young and have a lot of pep left!) Uncle Jim is looking for an adult dog savvy home with maybe older teens.   *Don't miss out on the 19th Annual Doggy Dash- Saturday, June 9th at William Land Park.

He came to us with some leg injuries but has since been fixed up and is ready to get outside for some walks! Freddie will make an excellent pet for a family with adults or older teens.

Pets. Loveable. Frustrating. All-consuming? I seen this more often than I would like. Person A has dog (or cat or bird or whatever). Person A finds themselves in a committed relationship with Person B. Person B does not like animals. Person A is torn. They love their Ruffy, but they also kind of dig Person B. What to do, what to do. Why should you have to choose? If you are an animal lover and you had your best friend before you got in this semi-serious relationship, the incoming significant other needs to understand that your pet is your companion. If they are an animal hater, that is likely to cause some serious dissention in your relationship. I would hate to see relationships fai

Q. I have a male pot belly pig who is almost a year old and weighs about 90lbs. I take Mr. Wiggly out for walks in my midtown neighborhood. Yesterday a City Animal Control officer gave me a ticket for not having a swine license! I know I have to have my dog licensed but I have never heard of a swine license. I was also told Mr. Wiggly needs to be neutered before I can get a license. Do you have information on this? Peter K. A. Miniature pot-bellied pigs are increasing in popularity as domesticated pets. However, as such animals are still livestock notwithstanding size, and like other pets need to be controlled to insure that such animal does not become a nuisance or danger to the general

Do you know someone over the age of sixty, looking for a pet companion? Because our little friend Jenni is currently looking for a new family!  And the best part? Because of her age, any adopter over the age of sixty can have the adoption fees waived! She is an eleven-year-old Terrier, Parson Russell mix and is perfect for an active, older family. She is peppy and friendly and loves to go on walks and play outside. She still has quite a bit of energy, so don't let her age fool you! Jenni should do fine with another dog(s) at home, but prefers older children.   **Don't forget about our SPRING Book Sale running Saturday, May 12- Sunday, May 20!

Q: Hi, this is a multiple question question. I recently purchased a house on 2 acres in Citrus Heights, and the entire property needs to be re-fenced and the neighbors don't want to help pay for it. The fencing is at least 40 years old (one neighbor has confirmed this) and it is livestock fencing made of rotted out wood posts reinforced by some metal T posts with rusted wire and barbed wire fencing between the posts. There are 4 neighbors that surround the property, one neighbor (we'll call her neighbor A) has little dogs that come into my yard and continue to poop in several large poo piles at the edge of my property. I have not been able to catch them, but the poop is proof enough. Also
