A Year in Review of 2023
 
We thought we would give you a year in review of 2023. All of this would not have been possible if we did not have the dedicated group of volunteers to get all of these items completed. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible.

1. The kennel received a riding mower, 4 badly needed storage sheds and a new bathing station.

2. We opened a new adoption site in Camarillo at Pet Supply Plus.

3. We survived the South Mountain fire and no evacuations were necessaryh but we were well prepared and we had a plan if necessary.

4. We survived the strong winds and although the winds peeled back the quarantine roof, we were able to piece it back together again.

5. Winterizing of the kennels are now completed with all the kennels having heavy duty clear tarps and dog house heaters.

6. 128 dogs were adopted in 2023! This included the saving of dogs on the euthanasia list from Kern County, Apple Valley and Devore Shelters.

7. We were able to collect enough recyclables to bring in $9,800+ in much needed revenue to repair the kennels. This is just shy of $50,000 in revenue since inception.

8. We purchased a new van (new to us). A 2017 Ford Transit 150 to transport dogs to the vet and adoption events.

9. We were able to resume our Pooch Parade and Pet Expo after a couplde of years due to COVID.

Please Read and Share!!
Since 12/5/23 in the 'Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time' group on Facebook there have been 48 dogs and 3 cats sick from Purina, 10 of which have died. It seems to be from all different types of Purina, with Purina Pro Plan being the most common. If you or someone you know is feeding this food, I would stop immediately! Do NOT wait until your pet gets sick or Purina issues a recall.

Join the Facebook group 'Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time' for additional information and resources.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/DuncanStrong/?mibextid=CTbP7E

info from Savings Pets One Pet @ a Time:

"Stop the food immediately. Post in the group above what your pets current diet is and medical conditions and we will help you find a more nutritious and safer diet.

Save the pet food. Do NOT release it to Purina in any circumstances.

Contact your vet and request a copy of your pets medical records. Ask the vet to report your concerns to Purina.

Report it to the FDA (https://truthaboutpetfood.com/report-a-suspect-risk-pet.../)

Report it to Purina (https://www.purina.com/contact-us)

Do NOT agree to send them the food. If you feel compelled to do so, only send a small portion. Keep the rest of the food in the freezer.

Do NOT send the medical records to Purina.

Document your conversation with Purina.

Purina may eventually say they will pay your vet bills and reimburse you for your pet food. If you agree to this they will ask you to sign a form which will prohibit you from taking legal action. Eventually, if there is a class action lawsuit you will be unable to join if you do this or if you want to file your own lawsuit.

Consider getting your pet food tested:(https://truthaboutpetfood.com/help-to-check-your-pet-food/) This would be helpful if you want to pursue legal action.

Purina has already been notified by numerous pet owners and they have not done anything to alert unsuspecting pet parents. Initially, there were offering to reimburse the pet owners for their pet food. Currently, they are offering pet parents $10 in coupons (which is what Hills offered me for my dead dog) and having a third party contact the pet parents.

Eventually, we may see Purina pet food become “unavailable” on the store shelves. This is called a silent recall. The pet food manufacturer doesn’t want to admit there is a problem with the product, so they start pulling the products off the shelves quietly. (Hills did this for 60 days before the recall)." 

Thank you @saving pets one at a time Facebook group and @drjudymorgan for helping to coordinate the reports.

Recent CARL Adoption Events 

 

Sailor & Friends, Ventura, Saturday, December 2nd 11:30am - 3:30pm!

Skunkmasters, Port Hueneme, Sunday, December 3rd 11:00am - 2:00pm!
    
Sunday was a fun day. Shelbie brought Miss Maple and we had fosters Canelo and Rusty. Maple settled right in on Shelbie's lap and took a nap. She was very content.

According to Canelo's foster dad he is very attached to his foster mom.  He is with other larger dogs but would do best in a dog free home with someone spoiling him.

Rusty is a sweet boy who loves everyone and gets along great with the other dogs we have brought. His foster mom dressed him in a onesie that was really cute. 
This was his second time with us and is such a delight.  

Hoping they find homes soon.

Hobson Heights 100th Anniversary, Ventura, Sunday, December 10th 12:00pm- 3:00pm!
     
Sunday December 10th Hobson Heights in Midtown Ventura had their 100-year anniversary celebration. Toni Guy with Berkshire Hathaway Realtors invited CARL to participate. She organized a blanket drive for us. Santa was there and recognized
Dodger Dog from Sailor and Friends. From the picture you can tell he wasn't impressed. Ha.

We had Winchester, Dodger Dog, Rusty and Otis. Stacy did a silent auction and Terry helped Stacy and helped with her boy Dodger Dog. Shelbie transported Otis and Dodger Dog.

Thank you to Stacy, Terry, Shelbie, Jasmine (for bringing Winchester) and Jill for helping.
