I am the owner of the El Dorado Pet Club and we are the dog part of Animal Outreach. Since Feb when we joined forces we have pulled and placed over 60 dogs from High Kill Shelters. Most of our dogs come from Modesto and it is amazing to see what would have be put to sleep . Two weeks ago we pulled 8 dogs and we ended up with a very pregnant female who welped 6 puppies 5 days later. We plan to do puppy petting and socialize them the Ian Dunbar way.Socialization is key to having adoptable dogs that make good family pets and dont come back because of behavior problems.The accomplishment that Animal Outreach has achieved is pretty spectacular when you look at what a small community we are compared to the other contenders. I am hoping someone will come see what we are doing with these puppies and they will be avaliable the beginning of Aug to kick off the three month challange. I’d love to share how we have been able to bring in so many pets and foster them and every Sat we do adoptions in Folsom at Pet Smart from 11 to 2. Kerry 676-4442

This is really a great award that Animal Outreach is up for. Not only because of the money that is involved,but it really comes down to the animals that will be helped along the way. It’s really all about the animals and finding forever homes for all of Gods precious cats and dogs!! And as members of the community we can all do our part to help them win this award!! So adopt if you can!! If you can’t drop off a bag or two of food!!

I thought Animal Outreach only dealt with cats.

Animal Outreach (AO) is one of the true gems of the Motherlode. This organization with it’s stellar volunteers protects our animals and is an invaluable local resource. Always prepared to “step up” to meet our pet’s needs, the compassion and hard work of AO’s People represents the very best of our ‘can do’ Gold Country spirit.
